Maybe it's just a matter of play style, then. Me trying to use the Fighter quickly turns into a slugfest, whereas the Mage lets me spam spells while I can focus on dodging.

I was worried for a bit that this means your love for Tomb Raider itself is gone, but as unfortunate as it is to see you fall out of love with your passion project, I'm glad my worries are unfounded.

Thanks for linking your private account. Will be following your exploits there.

I'm kinda surprised you find the Fighter easier to use. It's definitely the other way around for me, since the Mage's lightning spell just rips right through bosses for the most part.

Eu pensava à primeira vista que fosse um imagem do Elon Musk..

Wait, you've got Astro Warrior as a standalone cartridge? I thought it was only ever released as part of a combo.

You really are making Wonder Girl now...

Happy to see you coming full circle.

I would guess you enter the letter corresponding to the era you were born in (if applicable, otherwise C) and it'd then let you enter the year, month, and day, but it sounds like that's not how it works?

And obviously special thanks to @mariodonick.bsky.social for the opportunity! I've never really been interviewed in any official capacity before, so this was a new and interesting experience. Answering questions is surprisingly hard when you operate mostly on intuition...

Ultimately, I think using social media for social interaction may be all but impossible for me. All I can really use it for is updates regarding my own life and works.

Doesn't help that barely any of my friends made the jump to Bluesky. Many accounts I follow are plain and simply dead, so I only ever see the same half-dozen people I have genuine difficulty trying to connect with.

Are you trying to incentivize war crimes? :v

What makes it doubly shameful is that, from what I've read, Eidos kept pushing for that angle against Core Design's (and particularly Toby Gard's) wishes.
