FromSoft, you can make anything you want and I’ll probably buy it, just stop putting jumping puzzles in your games, at least until you figure out good jumping mechanics first.

Many of those words aren’t actually limited to those use cases, but they are used there because they have very specific meanings. A plaintiff, for example, is the person lodging a complaint. Doesn’t have to be a legal complaint, but in legal terms it makes it very clear who we’re talking about.

Others are just expressions. A snap election is just when you call an election earlier than the scheduled one. It’s essentially a nickname for something more complicated. Same goes with casting a ballot. It just means to toss your vote in for the count. It’s just the expression that stuck because it sounds fancier than just saying “voting.”

Also who knows how many loopholes. Apparently the word of God is very precise and is meant to be followed to the letter, except when it’s inconvenient, in which case you hang strings between your house and your neighbors’ so you can wander the neighborhood when you’re supposed to stay home.

Zero Mission and Fusion were too hand-holdy for me. It was kind of annoying being told where to go and how to get there.

The concept behind short-term multiplayer in a long game is pretty cool. The invasions and the jolly cooperation are fun features.

But an actual 2-player session is a completely different experience, and something a lot of people are looking for

There are some pedestrian bridges in Bangkok where the average person could just reach out and touch the clusterfuck of powerlines if they listened to the call of the void.

Yes

There are also arcade and Wii versions of Punch Out.

They must have been reading the comments to every other handheld. Every time a new one is announced, the Steam Deck’s trackpads are mentioned as a selling point.

Another nice thing is the Hall effect joysticks, but that 120Hz display seems like overkill to me.

The price makes for a tough sale though.

If you think that’s unwelcoming, applications are even more so. Most people don’t want to fill out an essay just to be allowed to participate.

If I had to fill out an application, I wouldn’t be here, and I’m sure a lot of others wouldn’t be either.

That’s not to say that better methods shouldn’t be implemented though.

I imagine they don’t necessarily always fail explosively. I don’t know how often this stuff actually happens.

He doesn’t want a dick-shaped rocket, he’s more into yachts, apparently. I understand he owns several large ones.

I ran it perfectly on a 33MHz 486 with 4mb RAM for a long time. Even Doom II with some of its heavier maps ran fine.

But the point was that the hardware requirements were low enough that it could be ported to just about any hardware. It ran on SNES which was like 4MHz

Lots of dead famous rich people show that money does not cure depression.

The reason Doom got a reputation that it can run on anything is that it did run on just about anything.

The original requirement was for a 386 CPU which ran between 12 and 40 MHz. The 386 was launched in 1985. That means that at the time the Doom was released, it could run on 8-year-old hardware.

Kind of sad that all of the games named were made by Nintendo or Rare (which was basically owned by Nintendo at the time)

How many third-party games were any good?

That’s sort of what they do, except they still call it a purchase. I’ve never seen the word ‘rental’ on any game store. They shouldn’t be allowed to even call it a purchase if it isn’t one.

For anyone who has knowledge of that stuff, what kind of training is required for driving a train? Like what’s involved with handling a giant machine on rails? I assume there’s more to it than the public sees at first glance.

Very little. Older versions had already been open-sourced previously. This is specifically version 4.0, and the last version released was 8.0.

Maybe not, I don’t know if EA was handling Star Wars yet.
