1. Pawn to MO

On a side note RetroArch in steam worked quite well for me. The only downside so far was the default roms folder was in the usual crap folder steam games end up in by default

Would only making half a comic and move onto something else be accurate for ADHD?

I would find that amusing actually seeing the first and last panel of a comic and make people wondered what lead to the end

Ha, thanks for that

I think it was either in the audio commentary or the Lorerunner review of Princess Bride, but Andre had a back problems that was wrecking him through production of the movie.

I also vaguely recall his gas problems had some earth shattering gas passing during production as well

Ha I run a game store and I'd say less than 10% of the customers who buy cards at least know the rules sort of.

I imagine Pokemon knows this but they can't change the cards they are pretty much locked in to the design

Considering a published paper just said "chicken" a thousand times I'll believe anything. (By Doug Zongker, University of Washington)

Or that paper proposing to create a room temperature super conductor by lowering the official room temperature by 277 degrees

This is common.

The earliest metric was GTA4 decades ago showing one day less than 40% of players got the achievement for the final mission on the 360.

The downside Metrics will tell executives to put the time and money on the first few missions and cut anything from the ending to ship it out.

You can tell a game is truly special when you get a good ending as that is pretty much giving up cost for entertainment.

Needs psychic and fighting energy but needs grass to retreat?

Sorry I am not a collector I just play Pokemon (weird right?) So I am trying to figure out what deck that synergizes with haha

I guess Obsidian needs that 7 month crunch they got from Fallout New Vegas to make another gem? ☹️

The only thing I know about Genshin is my friends teenage kid spent $250 on it. I hope that was worth it.

They said they will never play anything like that again though so lesson learned?

From someone who grew up on FF1 to FFX I am sad to say I agree.

While FF7 gives me fond memories as an awkward 17 year old, I never up and discussed the story intensively.

I still replayed it and 100%'d it on steam a few years ago however, but that's because I already knew all the skippables and such and wasn't a slog for me.

It was fun. Gameplay was alright but nothing I wish I could experience again or want to replay.

I had little interest in the story. Aloy felt too generic hero to me. I was hoping she would be more like someone socially awkward having lived a life of exile with limited human interaction (like a young Ashly Burch kind of character).

It's a shame they have a female protagonist in a AAA game and she feels like every other protagonist with nothing really unique aside from the insane person who has to program her hair.

I was thinking a movie about an actor's decline as he joins a cult not unlike scientology that breaks him down slowly until an embarrassing rock bottom moment and jumps into obscurity. (think Requiem for a dream but what Scientology does to a person instead of hard drugs)

Or a movie about actors that pull off a hoax that inadvertently changes the entire world, either a harmless cherade done only to get them in the spotlight but instead spirals out of their control. (Like maybe in the style of the Deep Space 9 episode "In The Pale Moonlight")

Maybe I'm cynical but I am not even sure what happened with that other than a slap as I'm not into the Oscars or celebrity drama

So for those wondering, quite a few younger board games will list ages 4-99 to instead of just 4+ to encourage adults to play the games with children.

HABA brand board games in particular do this for some of their games like Animal Upon Animal (which I argue is a more enjoyable stacking game than Jenga).

And yes there are games that would specifically say something like Ages 5-9 and one adult. Specifically something like Escape Room Dinosaurs where you create a little escape room in your living room for kids.

Okay I am about done waking up now 😌

Probably more alive than when ham traffickers leave people in containers?

Now I'm sad

I recall in the audio commentary the conversation The Brain and Marv Albert had was pretty much how Maurice LaMarche and Steven Spielberg interacted.

Spielberg: you play The Brain right?

Maurice :. Yes

Spielberg (trying to imitate the Brain): yes!

Maurice (acting as the Brain): yes!

Spielberg (trying again):. Yes!

Maurice (repeating to help Spielberg): yes!

Spielberg (trying again): Yes

Maurice: ok bye bye

And of course the peas episode of Pinky & The Brain is just Maurice reciting the Orson Welles commercial. When he does that bit live he uses the more inappropriate working 😂

If you have an OLED screen: Persona 5 Royal.

The game uses lots of red and black which OLED screens handle really well. If 100 hour JRPGs are your jam that is.

Retailers were hesitant at first according to the Gaming Historian's documentary.

A shame no one wants it. (Nintendo had trouble at launch due to the recent crash. They did lots of tactics to convince retailers its a toy and not a video game. See R.O.B. as an example)

Wasnt this the most watched show at the time? If anything its overlooked today. Sadly helpful wise I recall, much like restaurant rescue shows, the ratio of actual solved cases is a tiny percentage, and unsolved mysteries arguably could create more fear in the public about things like child abductions than in reality.

Coming from an obsessed fan of the show as a kid myself :)

$20 absolutely. $60, maybe if its your style.

I enjoyed it but hasn't stuck in my brain like certain other games had.

I run a game store. Would making recommendations to customers about games count?

Because... lots?

Good writing, characters and interesting decisions :)

See Disco Elysium a.k.a. New Vegas 2 more or less.

I feel like Trump could have crazy stupid money if he mailed his followers like a televangelist.

I bet his advisors thought of a bunch of ways then though "this will collapse before we can run with the money"
