Lower than I expected

Yeah I don’t think I’ve ever heard that term before in my life and I’ve been doing this for a while.

And I don’t think I ever wanna hear it again.

Baby OxyContin!

The .NET rebuild they did on steam is actually pretty solid IMO.

Especially if you mod it to use the AI upscale backgrounds

It also has a 20 times speed mode that makes the chocabo mini game bearable.

Wut?

This is purely because Twitter changed their pricing structure to charge out the nose for API calls so Nintendo and other don’t wanna pay big money for a worthless feature.

Was just about to cancel gamepass and then saw this dropped. I can hold onto it for one more month to check this out.

And procedurally generated environments

The amount of times their credit card machine would just “break” so that you’d be forced to pay in cash and tip much more back then was staggering.

Yeah that’s fair.

IMO a lot of the subtlety comes from the imagery and symbols around you as you progress through the game. The vibrant tree that you pass that burns up when you look back, etc.

As far as gameplay goes it is very linear. The only “choice” is to stop playing. If I remember correctly the development behind Spec Ops was very rushed so they didn’t have time to so any of those branching paths.

I appreciate it like I would a visual novel more than I do an interactive game.

A lot of their 2.5 D games are actually pretty damn good.

I had a lot of fun with Triangle Strategy and I heard a lot of good things about Octopath 2

I think you can patient gamer it but it only works if you’re heavily familiar with that time.

I was really into COD4 and grew up during the Bush administration so I knew exactly what Spec Ops was critiquing. If you don’t have that experience though I agree it does not land.

I can’t unsee that noodle hand now

No Starch Press usually does good stuff.

No Starch, Manning, and O’Reilly are my go to publishers for tech books.

I try to avoid Packt like the plague.

And not make the site impossible to use.

Most sites nowadays its impossible to actually read a goddamn article without 5 pop in videos and ad breaks.

I don’t have the actual source but I read it on Wikipedia way back

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Redneck_(song)&oldid=602726840

Don’t know why it got deleted.

“It’s pretty clear to everyone who the song [Redneck] is about. Just watch the Killadelphia DVD, and you’ll see what was going on. I love Randy like a brother, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have our problems. So if I have to be the one to say something, then I will. And if that means that someone’s gonna get punched in the mouth, then someone’s gonna get punched in the mouth… And if that means someone’s going to have to sing a lyric about themselves, then they’re gonna sing a lyric about themselves.”

Lamb of God also did this with “Redneck”

Yeah the marketing rot always follows where the audience is.

Nothing good can remain untainted.

“We’re making something new and don’t have high hopes for it. Just don’t even bother”

Yeah I’m all for it. I fucking love deck building games.

His nickname in the NFL was also Juice
