Just a lurker who enjoys good art, books and Video Games. If you're reading this, I hope you have a nice day!
It's not even difficult to do these days. There are thousands of incredible artists on THIS APP ALONE that are constantly taking commissions.
Find someone you like and negotiate for the commercial rights.
Then you have lovely handcrafted cover art that doubles for marketing and a tax deduction.

I'm instantly compelled to look into any book with nicely done cover art.
Conversely, if I see stock photos I can't be bothered, and if I see AI slop I will avoid that author like the Bubonic Plague.
A well done cover is a sign you care, so it's always worth the extra effort.

All of the new stages are gorgeous, but Galactic Nova next level in its staging and visuals.
This game is bonkers and I can't get enough.

The OG switch pro controller I use hasn't had issues, but I could check my spares.
I know that some third party docks got messed up, but this would be the first I've heard of official controller functions being affected.

Everyone around us says it like that, so we just mistakenly adopted the pronunciation, would be my guess. In my own defence it predates my birth significantly.
Your culprit is either someone in Minnesota, or the Swedish Chef.

Their DRM free first policy doesn't hurt matters either. That alone is a game changer!

The comics are great, and this particular short was adapted in the original film anthology, so it's rather iconic. I had spooky month brain going on and thought the radio antennae were vines climbing the wall, so that might be part of it too.
Either way, it's a great piece.

This Wouldn't happen to be a reference to the creepshow comic "The Lonely Death of Jordy Verril", would it?

The fact that they provide everything DRM free and have dozens of classic titles in a service dedicated to keeping them playable forever makes them worth having around.
Honestly the whole "Amazon Games Store" thing is baffling. I just knew it as the place I got free GOG codes a couple times a month

I've lost 80 lbs in the last year and let me tell you, once you realize you've lost enough weight that you need to start buying new pants it really puts a spring in your step.
Keep it up, you CAN do it!

Did they really? I saw how rough it looked during the State of Play, but not the cover art.
If this is the best they can do with a title as important as Deux Ex, Aspyr ought to be ashamed of themselves.

Heck, at the time they came out I even thought that X and Y looked pretty nice. And I'm the guy who actually misses the sprite based games.

There's alot of complaining in general these days, in video games in general but especially Nintendo and Pokemon. To the point of selective memory taking hold of peoples minds.
Sun/Moon looked great, Sword/Shield had their moments and ZA is seems solid. To say it's all been bad is plain insane.

Fingers crossed the workaround stays effective. It's a brighter place with you around, and I hope it stays that way.
