Cool. Did you know that the creator of Below the Root on Apple II went on to make an Alice in Wonderland game in the same engine, then years later ported it to the CD-i with neat art, as well as making another game in the same engine, Laser Lords, an adventure game set in space? You can just play it

now that IGF voting is winding down I can say that there are not one but TWO really impressive, really good deduction games coming out in the near future. generally a very big moment for the genre but some of the work being done is extremely impressive

I used to do this but stopped because I realized it was pretentious. But you seem to do it out of self-deprecation, which I respect.

I've been looking through some of your DD threads and really enjoying your observations. Scrolling back through your feed to try to collect all of your playthrough threads is difficult. Any chance you have some form of index for this? Also wondering what games you've done this with in the past!

Playing Titanfall 2 again and it just fills you with sadness, that specific strain of narrative first person shooter that Half-life wrought basically does not exist any more in that same way. We barely get a confusing single player campaign stapled to a multiplayer game any more.

It just struck me that there could be a connection between that and the prevalence of teaching reading through word guessing and prediction rather than phonics, leading people to learn to 'read' what they think something says instead of what is actually there.

Please don't only restore "important" content and overlook seasonal stories, which provided not only vital connective tissue between campaigns but also the majority of the game's character development.

Bernie isn't 'teaming' with Bannon. They just happen to be in the same room along with a lot of other people. The framing is misleading.

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).
A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

In the unusual event that its substance or aesthetic is significantly changed via a new cut or color grade, it’s controversial. Even when the original director has supervised those alterations! But far more dramatic, fundamental changes are the normal way videogames get revived for new generations.

When a film is rereleased on a new medium in a (commercial) act of ‘cultural preservation,’ it’s transferred to that format with greater detail that takes advantage of sharper display technology, not redesigned from the ground up with a different script and cast.

The compassion and empathy that Batman has for his villains in TAS is why it will always be my favorite rendition of the character. Every version that doesn't exhibit this trait is missing a piece.

100%. He needs to believe that his rogues gallery can get better if he is to believe that HE can get better. Because he is just as sick as they are; his ailment is grief and guilt. That's why I find his hatred of guns or his devastation in the episode when Gordon gets shot so powerful.

Maybe this is a hidden benefit to the extraction genre. We always focus on the tension created by the stakes of losing your stuff, but the flip side is that you just use what you find without having to decide for every little thing whether you should hoard it forever. Because you can’t.

I came back to The Division 2 and am finishing this season, and the hundreds of caches I'm dealing with, each containing like 3 to 7 items depending on their type, is exhausting. Thinking about going through and marking stuff as trash has made me want to stop playing. Better ways to spend my time.

The more loot that a looter shooter or ARPG showers me with, the less I like it. A small amount of meaningful loot is so much better than heaps I have to sift through to try and spot something good (based on criteria I'm making up and unsure of, no less). Thousands of tedious micro-decisions.
