On launch 2042 was complete crap but I had some fun with it two years ago. I particularly liked being able to swap out my weapon attachments on the fly.

“Our community” feels a bit monolithic. It’s like saying “film watchers” or “readers”. Lumping anyone that plays video games regularly into a single social group feels unhelpfully reductive.

I absolutely loved the modern day story. I was so very invested and it still smarts a bit that they lost interest in doing it justice.

Has there ever been a case where tax cuts genuinely helped a country/state/whatever’s economy?

No, they’re not.

Ye gods, 18 years, 4 months for mine. You’d hope that they’d just automatically stop asking if I’m old enough to view store pages, right?

I’m tickled that the code hasn’t been digitised and the scans are only just barely high enough resolution to make out the text.

Ye gods, no wonder it’s so easy to grift people. They’ve got the savvy of a toddler.

I remember it dawning on me and making me grin. “Is that, oh it so is!”

I played through 1 - 4 and honestly, I think 4 was the only one that was actively good. The others might once have been fun, but they didn’t really hold up. However I had a great time with 4. I particularly liked the epilogue.

Ye gods, that’s bloody hideous. Throw a CRT filter over that, at the very least!

From what I’ve read, the concept of appeasement was buying time because Britain was in no position to do anything, which ultimately worked (I’m reminded of the quote “Diplomacy is the art of saying ‘Nice doggie’ until you can find a rock.”).

However it doesn’t work if you’re not planning to do anything!

That’s a lot more like it! Thanks for sharing.

“We found several tapes with lost Doctor Who episodes in an old Nintendo office!”

Indeed, I read the article. That’s literally what I was moaning about!

I was expecting a bit more. Some before and after screenshots, for example, some specifics about what these “several issues” that were fixed were would be nice too.

The article is pretty bloody vague…

Ye gods, America, you had four years and an open-and-shut case and it wasn’t enough to get rid of the orange ghoul.

Wow, that may be the most apt description I’ve heard for Joomla in a while. Well, my memory of what Joomla was like nearly twenty years ago.
