OK look, fuck Roblox but this is intentional rage-bait. The first part of his answer is not a response to "what do you think of predators?" The full response still sucks and is worthy of criticism, so the only reason to deceptively edit it like this it to generate the response seen in the replies.

Also why does it look like Terry Wogan?

Just imagine, just fuckin' imagine if he fell asleep like this in the middle of one of their stupid reality-denial round-tables, and never woke up. Imagine if he died on national TV drooling into his lapels.

Big step in my little slow-moving side-passion-project. I've figured out how to decode all the briefing/in-mission/bestiary text! Two file formats down, and this was a big one because it's the one with no equivalent in the '96 version of the engine.
Docs, and then on to the next one.

I feel like a goddamn moron. How have I only just today realised that Japanese game carts were all made the same size as cassette tape boxes? From left to right that's Famicom, Master System, MSX and a ZX Spectrum tape.

The buildings are all just cubes with low-quality textures painted on them. You can repeat the defensive Nintendo-fan special "hurrr graphics don't matter" all you like but when you're putting in so little effort that you're outdone by games from the MID NINETIES.....

Living in Britain, everyone complains about the bureaucracy of everything, but then you hire contractors in Canada and wish desperately you had an ombudsman to throw at these cowboy motherfuckers. What the actual fuck is this?

Is your home too well organised?
Do you have a hard time reaching precious items on high shelves, and wish they could be relocated?
Do your possessions lack the charisma of cat vomit?
Do you wish you didn't have to sleep for long stretches without physical attack?
