I never got fallout, but did tactics only use company servers, or could you host your own?
if the latter, the official servers being dead would be irrelevant, lol
...I wanna mention ai to him...
even if replicated food was perfect, you'd still see a healthy contingent of the population who would prefer the real thing for nostalgia sake, and nostalgia is all over TNG, anyway. From holodeck simulations of old books and historical periods to picard listening to classical music to establish his "cultured side".
I do find it funny that I never saw a single crewmember who listened to oldies in their time off, though, lmao.
did you ever see the pilot to TNG?
The cameo from McCoy interacting with Data was amazing...
if you can track down a copy, star trek: shattered universe was a great, if hard, game. Basically, the excelsior ends up in the mirror universe and has to fly halfway across the alpha quadrant to get home.
The twist is that they're in the bodies of their mirror universe doppelgangers, and the ship has star fighters instead of shuttlecraft.
not necessarily canon, but a fun game, and you get to see what kind of captain sulu might have been.
...if it makes you feel better, Neverending story 2 was already meh, and neverending story 3 was a trainwreck...
first one was good, but yeah, there's a reason it took them this long to do another one after the first two sequels, lol
...There was also the one by the woman who still doesn't realize she was a victim of abusive neglect... I forget the title, but she was literally pulled to the side by a teacher as a kid and told she smelled because her hygiene was so poor.
I'll use an older book as an analogy; I've no problem with *A Child called It" being available to adults, but it shouldn't be in an elementary school library...
Indy isn't automatically good, rather it's a potentiality.
independent studios/developers will always have flexibility and a willingness to go against the grain, hell, to try something new that nobody else has done before. A guy in his basement may not have the budget or the manpower to make his dream game perfect, but he doesn't have a supervisor, a manager, a CEO, a marketing team, a board of directors, or a gaggle of investors breathing down his next to make somebody else's dream game out of his, either. If he thinks the woke horsehshit is just that, he can ignore it. If he thinks it's the greatest thing evar, well he can go down that road as well, but it's his choice to make, not some entrenched bureaucracy trying to make sure they can take that vacation in cancun this summer and maybe visit a BRIDGE (look it up) seminar while they're at it.
oh, also cuphead, which was not only legitimately fun (if hard as balls), but also delivered one of the most delicious self-own by a game "journalist" I've ever seen in my forty years on this beautiful blue marble.
FNAF (whatever your opinion on the game series itself) was literally made by a christian who donated to anti-abortion charities and almost got cancelled for it
...I get what you're going for, but there's an (I assume) dark undertone to this that my fucked up brain finds hilarious...
just thought i'd put it out there, lol.
It's always good to steelman when you can.
Devil's Advocate; is it possible he's afraid of a reddit-like scenario where a person nominated ends up being a bad actor who starts taking a chainsaw to topics that "offend" them?
I tend to wander the site as a whole, though I usually land in funny, so I don't know the whole situation as well as people who stay here exclusively, which is why I ask
...really hope he hires better people in 2025, though...
I honestly don't know, or even think it's necessarily the case, just thought it was an interesting bit of mental exercise, lol
I think it was adapted from an old arcade soccer game they made under their former company name, tekhan.
more or less, lol
honorable mention
World Cup Soccer by temco. got it on a double cart with super spike vball with our nes (had the infrared four-player adapter all bundled in). I'm pretty sure the same company also released a beat em up game that utilyzed a lot of the same sprites, though I couldn't tell you which came first.
Not really a soccer fan, but it was definitely an entertaining, if hard as balls, game, with a level of comical violence that made it novel. i tried to describe it, but honestly, it's just easier to show you, lmao.
I don't hate them, I'm just poking fun at the way any game with any kind of difficulty is automatically labeled as "the dark souls of " insert genre here, as if it's the first game with mainstream appeal that actually challenged players.
Hell, the NES Megaman games still rape my ass, and it took Years for me to beat Megaman X
nah,I have. That's pretty much my point, lol
Super Star Wars on SNES? lol
fair
oh, I'm not shitting on Demon/Dark Souls. I liked demon souls just fine (the little bit I got into it anyway). I'm mostly poking fun.
and stirring things up a bit in a way that's more fun than the stuff we normally talk about on dot win... ¬_¬ the world's a dumpster fire, granted, but a little distraction is good now and again, lol
I'm not saying souls aren't hard, hell, I'm not even saying they aren't good.
I'm saying the NES was on it's own level of hard as balls.
fixed
