What? I remember only small parts of the game being an rts. Didnt really like that part, but it was definitely not “the entire game”

Ive been a nintendo fan my entire childhood and early adult life. I would say i am (at least clasically) nintendos target audience. I agree with the sentiments in the video. Nintendo is doing a lot of shitty consumer hostile things and people forking up ever increasing prices for decade old games will only validate their business practices and quality will further decay (like the games industry in general). That is essentially what he is saying. I will not buy the switch 2 (this video did not change my stance either way)

Granted his overly negative rant was a bit tiresome, it felt like he was impersonating the angry nintendo nerd without the comedy. But that just feels like any other yt video rant these days

Iirc (and the story was not complete bogus) the first game was designed for it but some exec didnt like it and forced hud and minimap late in development and is why it feels easy and repetitive if you play with minimap. Wouldnt be surpirsed if ac2 then was not developed with that in mind and would explain why it doesnt work as well

They had some years of crazy partying between end of ww1/the spanish flu ine the late 1910d and the great depression and fascism really got hold in the end of the 1920S tho, so couldnt we at least get some of those years first?:(

For those more updated than me, what are your thoughts on Skyblivion and Skywind?

In almost any other sector I would agree. Food and water supply, not so much. War and other potential global disruptive events could cut us off from mainland europe or at least make deliveries more difficult. We are already very dependent on imports. This could make us entirely so. I dont want to starve.

Followed :)

They are also anti-eu and unafraid to use populist tactics to sway people regardless of how true it is. With russian interference to be expected in the election (and likely promote anti-eu sentiments) i think we will see this parroted by sp and frp, and i see that as a risk of poisoning what is otherwise a necessary debate about our future.

I am also worried about our agriculture… it is difficult to farm here which makes us already one of the least self sufficient countries in terms of farmed goods and joining eu without any allowance for protectionism here would destroy what we have. Given the focus on preparedness for war and resilience these days that would in my opinion be a horrible idea.

edit: but we need a public debate to get some clarity in these issues asap and i am glad it looks like we are headed towards that. But i am also afraid of russian propaganda poisoning that debate and populist parties like sp and frp falling prey to that and driving a wedge in the population

Without getting all the references we at least found lower decks to stand very well on its own. Will rewatch once ive seen all of the tng-era shows as i think you obviously get more out of it if you also get the references, but my point was just that its not a prerequisite to enjoy it.

Im only about 4 episodes into s02 of tng so far. I was just expecting s01 and s02 to really suck based on discussions and recommendations to skip straight to s03. But ive had a good time so far and now i am really looking forward to s03 if it is so much better.

Edit no wait you were 100% right I was way overthinking it. You’re just basically saying you’re not rotating the content on the page, but whether it’s on its side on the reader or not, lol. Yeah my bad way overthought it you were absolutely right

Hehe yep!

I have been shocked to find that my printer not only connects on linux and stays connected without much effort but does so over wifi. Ink clogs all the time tho…🫠

You are overthinking this. It has nothing to do with whether something is designed or not for landscape or portrait. It is whether the file itself has dimensions of 4000x2000 and you want to rotate it 90 degs so that it is 2000x4000. Same content but everything rotated so that it opens oriented the way it was intended.

Both me and my gf started with entire lower decks, then snw and now ive started tng (from start, currently in s2 snd enjoying more than i thought based on all the recs to go straight to s3)… That has been a great entry for us at lesst

Great post! Very enjoyable format. Will be checking out Deliverance on GOG (first one first, these games have entirely slipped my radar until now)

I love my surface duo for ds emulation!

I recently finished main story in bully on ps2 (emu). About 55% completion after end mission, and 11 hrs. Did some additional missions to get me up to about 65% and then retired the game as im not all that crazy about hunting down blue rubber bands and whatnot. Did most of the classes, but lacked a few art and photography.

Moved to another ps2 title now: jak & daxter the precursor legacy. No experience with this series before, but enjoyable first 45 mins which is what i have been able to play so far.

Neverwinter nights still on the backburner for now, and tomorrow i will play some kind of multiplayer game with an old uni buddy of mine, but not decided which one yet

I remember appreciating the old school feel of the cockpit screen in the x-wing in rogue one. They did not try to modernize that at all

When watching some videos from retro game youtube channels, they tend to point to how much more daring they were back then, and all new games will just safe it. New aaa games cost so much they cant fail, but then a flop was to a larger extend “meh” and move on for the studio. Guess that made some of these games feel more freaky as you say

I just completed bully on the ps2 (emulated on pcsx2)! Had a lot of fun, planning on going for jak & daxter series next i think. I never owned the console myself, so there are many gems ive never tried, and many i only played at friends houses sporadically.

This thread is a gold mine for suggestions!
