maaaan Control 2, why you gotta have an essential traversal ability not only gated by a side quest but it's one you aren't even told about until you stumble upon its exact location. I'm so confused. If you do this 2 games in a row you must think it's good but how could you think that!

i couldn't believe in control 1 that they didn't just put all the weapon forms on number keys and let you switch without going into a menu and i again can't believe that shit in control 2. what the hell kind of a choice is that

i've had so many of these working on imsims. my first was the guards in my stealth game who could hear each other's footsteps and if they didn't already know roughly where the other guy was they would investigate each other and be surprised to see each other. in first person this looks like nothing

One funny thing is how the 60s through the 80s were mythologized largely by people who lived through those eras, but the media currently mythologizing the 90s seems to be made largely by people born afterward, so all the details are slightly off in an unsettling way

i think steam should up any changes you make to your game to the cloud and that's the only repo you're able to sync to for that game, so if you fuck your install of skyrim you can't reinstall a clean one, that's just the install you have. in this way digital games can be meaningfully "second-hand"

always strange to me, livin' through the San Andreas Hot Coffee fiasco, that it never seemed to come up that GTA3 years earlier had one non-satire radio station Game Radio that advertised actual softcore porn videos put out by Game Recordings. the radio read out a URL and i went and saw porn at 12

this feels like such a nitpick but there's a voice acting thing i am really not liking from one character in control 2 that i can only describe as like...they're trying to sound too much like they're coming up with the sentence as they go, so they just sound baffled by themselves all the time

apropos of nothing, here's an old blog post i did about piracy and when/whether it's ok and things like that when the people who make the games aren't even getting to keep their jobs, far less profit from a game's success, pirate those suckaz tbh www.joewintergreen.com/one-time-a-g...

100%!! unless you KNOW the devs are getting residuals i dont think there's a moral argument for buying games over pirating. publishers and platforms don't deserve your money. just support patreons of devs or buy their free tech demo from itchio or send them $100 on kofi

i often think a cancelled old aaa game is a cool idea for an indie dev to do now. perhaps i am unimaginative though but i really have no idea what they were going for or why with this early splinter cell conviction idea they ditched www.youtube.com/watch?v=5g-d...
