Yeah, if I remember right, the issue is that the typo breaks the system that tells the xenos how to behave in combat. They should use vents and try and flank you, but instead they just charge right at you.

Still a ton of other issues with the game, but that was huge.

Gonna just remind everyone, or tell anyone who isn’t familiar… Gearbox’s Colonial Marines has a typo in an ini file that breaks the game’s AI. Gearbox was made aware of it after a modder found it in 2018. They acknowledged it by making a joke, then did nothing…

That one letter typo is still there after 13 years.

Daemon X Machina has a more fast paced mecha feeling. Very similar to the Armored Core games. Which makes a lot of sense, since Kenichiro Tsukuda and Shoji Kawamori are both behind it. Just got a sequel too! Shame it’s damn expensive.

Has anyone seen his shoulders lately? It’s been a long time since that shirtless pic of him riding a horse…

You speak as though Atari is known for making sound business decisions…

Going to copy my post over from the original for anyone wondering why because the description does nothing to explain:

I watched a few minutes of it and finally got to it… If I got it right, the guy suing them wanted to make a mod with guns. Mojang said no and got it shut down. He’s suing because he believes a company shouldn’t have any say over how users might modify their games.

This’ll be the same fucking deal as last time… Russia gets Crimea and their controlled territories, plus the ones Ukraine reclaimed. The US gets access to Ukraine mining exploits. Also Zelensky must step down so Russia can install a puppet government like Belarus…

Oh, and Trump also gets to give himself a Nobel prize.

I don’t feel like the story telling was as good in Evermore. Secret of Mana grabbed me a lot more with it’s characters and it’s difficulty, and I always loved the plot despite some pretty obvious flaws. The music is still one of the best ever soundtracks too.

I think Evermore also got completely overshadowed by Chrono Trigger being released just 2 months before in the US.

Huh… Neither had I, so I did a search…

Apparently it comes from a Dutch phrase that got butchered into tattoo.

Whales and other cetaceans evolved from land mammals.

“Well if the whales don’t like that the water’s killing them and their food supply, maybe they shouldn’t have devolved their legs!”

…That’s probably assuming way too much about the average climate denier’s scientific knowledge or just overall general intelligence, isn’t it?

Thank God, the old one broke any time I switched to full screen and stuttered like I’m dialup.

Come on Evergrace remake…

Psycho.

What’d kill me is a “Chunky’s dead” reference. You know they’re at least playing some version of the DK Rap at some point.

Great, now I’m gonna end up reinstalling it…

I bring this up like every chance I get, but check out Libby if you don’t want to go to the library. You just link your library card and you have access to tons of books, audio books, and magazines. I also just found out about Hoopla a couple days ago and will be checking that out as soon as I go get my library card renewed tomorrow. Same principle, access to your library’s stuff, but also includes music and movies as well.

Precisely how I imagine any political meeting goes with him. It’s like The Emperors New Clothes, except the king is a complete and stubborn moron on top of being vain and naive.

“I know I gave Israel all these weapons, plotted with Netanyahu to commit genocide and start a massive war in the middle east, dropped bombs on Iran, and threatened Khamenei’s life, but this was about getting attention away from all the shit I’M doing in the US! I didn’t want to get caught up in a war, I just wanted people to stop being mad at me and redirect then away from all the constitutional violations I’m committing, the people I’m deporting illegally, all the rights I’m stripping away from everyone, and all the government institutions in sabotaging. Oh, and I was supposed to get a nobel prize and a resort in Israel when Bibi agreed to stop his war, so now he’s screwing that up too!”

Absolutely loved both of them! I think UFO Defense was the first pc game I played on our first 486. It was one of the first games I ever successfully hacked.

Not sure how many people know, but there’s another game from Gollop, Rebelstar Tactical Command for Gameboy Advance. It’s part of the Rebelstar series dating back to the ZX Spectrum. It plays pretty much the same as the original XCom games.
