Yes goddammit, now let’s do it again

In that you aren’t simply pirating the stuff because Adobe’s cracked to hell and back? Makes you an outlier I’d bet, but it’s not weird.

Not a Skyrim modder, I take it

And all the poor bastards with that wireless Apple mouse that charges via USB on the goddamn bottom of the device so it can’t be used while it’s plugged in. 🤦‍♂️

I switched from Mac to PC a couple years ago, and learning to use the Windows key for those slightly-obscure special character shortcuts (e.g. em-dash, accents) took some angry rewiring of muscle memory.

Fool—the scroll wheel is a scalpel; the scrollbar is a broadsword. Use the right tool for the job.

There was a recurring gag on Parks And Rec about Pawnee internet users needing Altavista so they could use it to navigate to Google. That joke felt very real.

This is me watching my SO use any video editing software, or anything at all from Adobe.

Sweet, I’ll keep an eye out for that DLC. I have the rest of it in my backlog (I think), but having been waiting for the whole thing to actually play it.

Is this a new Long Dark DLC? Have they made progress on the game?

3 plays great on my PC. I made the mistake of playing 5 first, so I found the graphics & mechanics a little underwhelming (I thought 5 looked pretty great). But the game is good; the villain seems to be the series’ fan favorite.

4 might is the sweet spot between 3’s gameplay and 5’s graphics. 5 is gorgeous, but it’s gameplay is a tad more kid-friendly than 3 and 4. And I love 4’s James Bond villain.

My impression is that Sega’s always been pretty chill & receptive to interest in respectful revivals of classic IP.

It’s been nice to watch a large company respond to that interest with more accessibility, and not less (Nintendo).

We’re conditioned to invest, both financially and emotionally, not only in what a game is right now, but what it will be in a year. We cling to roadmaps like lifeboats and wield Reddit threads as weapons of sentiment for or against the developers we’ve hitched our wagons to. It’s a fuzzy parasocial relationship that only gets less healthy the more money is wrapped up in it. I’m sick of games that glare at me with dollar signs in their eyes from the moment I press play.
