Waterfall is missing the part where the customer realizes they didn’t actually want to go to Mars they just wanted to view it out of a telescope.

But now they can only travel to Mars and the telescope is out of the budget because you spent so much money on the rocket

Lower than I expected

Yeah I don’t think I’ve ever heard that term before in my life and I’ve been doing this for a while.

And I don’t think I ever wanna hear it again.

Baby OxyContin!

The .NET rebuild they did on steam is actually pretty solid IMO.

Especially if you mod it to use the AI upscale backgrounds

It also has a 20 times speed mode that makes the chocabo mini game bearable.

Wut?

This is purely because Twitter changed their pricing structure to charge out the nose for API calls so Nintendo and other don’t wanna pay big money for a worthless feature.

Was just about to cancel gamepass and then saw this dropped. I can hold onto it for one more month to check this out.

And procedurally generated environments

The amount of times their credit card machine would just “break” so that you’d be forced to pay in cash and tip much more back then was staggering.

Yeah that’s fair.

IMO a lot of the subtlety comes from the imagery and symbols around you as you progress through the game. The vibrant tree that you pass that burns up when you look back, etc.

As far as gameplay goes it is very linear. The only “choice” is to stop playing. If I remember correctly the development behind Spec Ops was very rushed so they didn’t have time to so any of those branching paths.

I appreciate it like I would a visual novel more than I do an interactive game.

A lot of their 2.5 D games are actually pretty damn good.

I had a lot of fun with Triangle Strategy and I heard a lot of good things about Octopath 2

I think you can patient gamer it but it only works if you’re heavily familiar with that time.

I was really into COD4 and grew up during the Bush administration so I knew exactly what Spec Ops was critiquing. If you don’t have that experience though I agree it does not land.

I can’t unsee that noodle hand now

No Starch Press usually does good stuff.

No Starch, Manning, and O’Reilly are my go to publishers for tech books.

I try to avoid Packt like the plague.

And not make the site impossible to use.

Most sites nowadays its impossible to actually read a goddamn article without 5 pop in videos and ad breaks.
