Lover of games, horror, art, and them bones. I've got a bone to pick, but it surely ain't with you.
I was in a similar situation, though I feel like living further inland might also be a factor in not liking fish. While fish can be preserved through freezing, that can open up its own can of worms through cells bursting as they freeze.

Imagine if her prayers were answered by Louis from Left 4 Dead.

I wish we still had feelies. Hell, I'd be game for virtual feelies in a simulated game box.

I'm imagining an external model viewer, where you have models of the box, the disc, story-relevant items, a map of the game world, a manual that you flip through by clicking the corners, etc.

Honestly I wish that the workers on the ground floor would do the right thing.

After all, no matter how much wealth an exec has, one of them alone cannot hope to match the physical strength of a dozen workers. And companies like this usually have more workers than execs.

That reminds me of that old Flash game "Babies Dream of Dead Worlds", where you play the dreams of babies who are dreaming about alien bugs who accidentally ended their universe.

Worf: "Captain, I know the number of a certified cranial reconstructor."

Picard: "Let's set up an appointment, Mister Worf."

Absolutely killing it.

I'm pretty sure there was also a port called "Vavoom". I know this because Ross Scott tried to use it to play Strife, but was put off by "jittering space ants" in the geometry, so he went with GZDoom instead.

Tycho's expression says it all.

Honestly, I feel like "key-jingling" should have a more tangible punitive response, so that corpos are rightfully scared into being open and honest. And if business can't function in an environment of overbearing honesty where misdirections are punished, then business has no place in our world.

I knew that Dogs was a cool dude, but this is more than I could ever have hoped for.

It reminds me of how the monitors in F.E.A.R used to tank the framerate. Also apparently the rats in F.E.A.R used to guzzle flops too, due to how the AI director worked in that game.

Indeed. As with many things, it's important to let someone cook.

If you rush someone in the kitchen, you run the risk of the bass coming out raw. And given how triple-ayyy corpos tend to be risk-averse, the risk of raw bass should be feared more than the risk of slightly-lower profit margins.

It makes me wish that individuals could cultivate enough strength to overthrow CEOs without fear of undue intervention. Truly, we need to develop a system where a good heart can let someone grow vastly stronger than any artificial power that money can buy.

Lord Hood: "Master Chief, mind telling me what you're doing in that holosuite?"

Master Chief: "Sir. Laying this pipe."

Maybe it's like the Monty Burns "Three Stooges syndrome", where there's so much there that the bots can't handle it.

That might sound like the video's indestructible, but even a slight breeze could-

It's been a long time since I've seen that classic. It's like taking a sip from the cup of crimson wonder.

I feel like you should put a worried Mandalore in the middle, given his experiences with horses.

This is making me think of Spitting Image with those facial proportions.

That might be a boomer-ass reference for me to make, but it's what comes to mind.

Here's a fun fact about Thor's goats; they were an infinite meat cheat, much like the beast they feast on in Valhalla. After being harvested for meat, they would be brought back to life.

I imagine being one of those beasts would be an existential nightmare to surpass the punishment of Prometheus.

With any luck, they'd probably love to have you on-side as loremeister (loremastrum?), but probably didn't have space in the budget for a Sterling bestiary.

With any luck, if they get enough sales from this thing, they'll commission you for your bold bestiary-work.

It's that Skyrim prestige. Which probably means that most outlets are too cowardly towards the notion of being "taken off the list" by Nintendo.

I feel like we need more reviewers like Scorpia from back in the days of Ultima.

I feel they'd be more restrained if their psycho talk actually led to them getting an offline talking-to. And if they double down in real, that's what the pizza peel is for.

That brings up an interesting conundrum with certain "booby games"; getting caught is mechanically a "failure state", but thematically enticing.

I feel like more booby games should focus on pleasing over fleeing, emphasizing delayed gratification and "ladies first", bawdy as that may sound.
