IIRC, the Steam releases of those are already using Scumm.

Being released at the same time as the significantly more modern (and unpopular) Unity didn’t do Rogue any favors.

No, Rockstar outsourced a ‘remaster’ of the early 3D games that was poorly handled.

Outlook’s own reaction handling is terrible. It adds the reaction icon to the email, but it doesn’t mark it as unread or bring it to the top. The next day, I get an email with all the reactions for the day.

“Available for a meeting at 9 tomorrow?” 👍

Then the daily digest shows up at 9 and the meeting was never scheduled.

I really like Mardi Gras Mustard. It has the balls to be mustard, not honey mustard.

Ratchet & Clank and Going Commando are great.

Another annoying one is that the address bar obfuscates the folder path if you start at Documents, Photos, etc. If I want to get to my user folder without a shortcut, it makes sense to hop to Documents and go up a level, but up a level from Documents is the useless Home directory.

Ties to groups, not motives.

Even motives aren’t that clear-cut, however. There’s significant infighting between rival far-right influencers. They are effectively cults. It’s also possible for a center-right person to see Kirk as a face of the Republican shift from conservative to fascist.

CBS and Comedy Central are both Paramount.

They did vote to restrict access to the Measels/Mumps/Rubella vaccine for children under 4. Monsters.

For those who don’t know, that vaccine is the origin of the modern anti-vaccine movement. A company marketing stand-alone vaccines was mad that somebody made a combo vaccine, making theirs unmarketable, so they funded fraudulent studies to block it.

I genuinely cried during my first listen to that album when I got to T.I.M.E.

Last night, while brushing our teeth, my wife made a comment about losing all her hair. That required a delay in going to bed until we had listened to I Earn My Life. Unfortunately, that leads into the obligatory Reaganomics dance party. Before we knew it it was 11PM and we were considering the philosophy of logo design.

My understanding is that rightsholders didn’t take it seriously, so content was cheap to license in the early days of Netflix streaming. That’s no longer the case.

I’ve done it before on something else. It does need to be bit-perfect, but ROM’s are one of the easier things to find bit-perfect matches for.

No, Lingo. Two games, both in the past few years. It’s confusing word puzzles in an equally-confusing world.

1. Mirror’s Edge
2. Lingo (2?)
3. And Yet It Moves

ME has stuck with me as my favorite game for fifteen years now. I love it visually, the soundtrack is incredible, and the gameplay is fantastic.

Lingo and its sequel are a bizzare, unmatched puzzle experience. I don’t know what else to say there.

And Yet It Moves is… something else. An indy platformer from the heyday of Indy platformers. It is an interesting example of how story can influence art style.

Valve also clarified today that it was the processors, not the card management companies, that they talked to. The processors were pointing at MasterCard’s rules, but refusing to provide Valve with someone at MasterCard to talk to.

They aren’t disagreeing with that. They are reporting that a source within the government claims the footage in the gap exists.

There’s a skill tree, equipment (not clothing/weapons like most RPGs, but still equipment), and crafting. That’s enough to make it an RPG mechanically.

There’s also the perspective definition. You are embodying a person separate from yourself and you are expected to make choices as them. Textbook RPG.

Dishonored is an RPG. It also adjusts the world based on your body count, with corruption getting worse as you kill people.
