The first sentence of that review also describes the game as a “propulsive throwback”.

propulsive

Uh. Make that what you will.

I have an old gmail account that’s just my first name initial and my last name.

Occasionally I get mails from shady people, like “coaches” spewing pseudoscientific fake psychology bullshit. Turns out there’s a guy that barely knows how to write and has a similar name to mine who regularly gives my address to people.

I tried telling them about the address (there was what I assume was a family contact in CC). I don’t think it registered at all. Makes me rather uneasy.

Obligatory what the fuck is wrong with how the US pays service people.

Tipping is for special appreciation, not basic sustenance.

Farmers have been protesting everywhere, they’ve turned signs upside down here and there as a way to raise awareness. Probably more in rural areas, obviously.

Not sure if for solidarity or just a case of not caring enough, but some places have not fixed the signs since. I know there are a few left in Britanny too.

I can imagine that.

Reminds me of my experience with a rhythm game/RPG of sort from some time ago, that had battles being played like Dance Dance Revolution games. Only you had to switch in real time between 3 alternative charts to attack/defend/heal.

It’s probably not actually meant for using with an actual DDR dance mat, but it’s a feature if you want to, and, well, I have mats. However there’s the problem of all those non-arrow commands, like switching panels, and it’s a bit much for just feet. So the way I tried it was using a controller for actions while I stepped to the arrow charts.

My conclusion : coordinating all that stuff is fucking hard.

They exist for gaming, but mostly just in racing controllers, since, well, those simulate vehicles with pedals. But yeah, in theory they’re just analog foot buttons indeed.

That prosthesis is controlled through feet. if all you want is pushing more buttons, there is no need for that extra finger, you can achieve the same with pedals.

All that time we though image generation AI couldn’t count, really it has been telling us to invent more fingers.

I sure do. A lot of it is Beat Saber, but it is quite a lot.

I’ll get a PS5 in like, 4 years. Maybe. If I find something I absolutely need on it.

Nice “crossover” Microsoft. Know what, put some Fable or Hi-Fi Rush in Call of Duty next, I’m sure that’s what the fans really want.

I am sure marketing people have concluded I was in the minority, but I developed a complete aversion to clicking on something with that kind of title.

Oh yeah, this trend that is killing games. Respectfully, fuck off, gameranx.

By searching that, I’ve just learned about the concept of architectural follies…

That case is batshit crazy, but there are worse ways to spend a fortune I guess.

This is what bothered me in the original discussion, making it seem like being in STEM somehow doesn’t prepare you at all for critical thinking in general. On the contrary, I believe too there are people who develop it in part because of the S in there. It’s not necessary, but it’s an important tool.

Hopefully people don’t need a college degree in literature to understand basic subtext. We ask kindergarteners to do that with Dr Seuss.

Sorry, dude, what you said must have been very interesting, but at some point I just stopped reading to optimize a watermelon workflow instead. Weird.

Okay, I’m all for good, complete education, but blaming people not understanding media on “too much STEM” is a bit ridiculous.

Foamstars was a new IP, so they didn’t count on brand name to carry this one.

Unless they thought “Square Enix” would be enough to hype it, and yeah, for a game that far away from their usual, that would be completely disconnected from reality.

Paraphrasing : those expectations are not too high, they’re the direct result of the games’ budget.

Yeah, okay, let’s admit that for a second. It’s not like they have no control over the scale and budget of their own games. Seems to me this still counts as unrealistic expectations…

It’s not really streaming, though you need an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription to play them. Each emulated platform has its own downloadable app with all available games.

Basic subscription lets you play NES, SNES, Game Boy (original and color). More expensive NSO+ has N64, megadrive/genesis, GBA.

However after the Wii virtual console, most big third parties have since realized they can sell their old stuff themselves as remakes or collections, so the available library is very lacking in non-Nintendo stuff. Capcom, Namco, Konami, Square Enix are barely there.

However for Nintendo games and a few other good surprises, it’s cool. I mean I get (sort of) free Puyo Puyo Tsu, so, nice.

It’s great. GBA Mario Vs Donkey Kong (the one that just got a switch remake) was a straight follow-up to this game, with the same moves and puzzle-platform style.
