tonamel,

Though by modern cosmetic DLC standards, the horse armor was really cheap. $2.50 for a skin is super reasonable.

tonamel,

The original voice actor, Charles Martinet, also did Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi himself.

tonamel,

And let's not forget French Lick!

tonamel,

Fallout 76 came out five years ago. It's the only Bethesda game in recent history. (I still really like it)

tonamel,

The guy has 3.2 million shares in Unity. If he was expecting the stock to tank, he probably would have sold a little more than 0.06% of his shares.

tonamel,

Peter Molyneux didn't work on Spore, that was Will Wright.

tonamel,

At the very least it's tacit agreement that cracks are an important part of digital preservation.

Critics are mostly positive on Starfield, but not unanimous: From 10/10s to 'cold, lifeless, and uninspired' (www.pcgamer.com)

Starfield is here, and after dozens of hours floating in space our reviewer Chris Livingston liked it—but didn't love it. "Starfield is Bethesda's biggest RPG ever, and it shares even more DNA with Skyrim and Fallout 4 than I expected—but it ultimately falls far short of the greatness of both of those games," he wrote in his...

tonamel,

I get why people would think you'd be able to do seamless ground to space flight, but let's face it: Bethesda is the company that even in their more recent games needed loading screens to enter large buildings. Contiguous flight was never going to happen.

tonamel,

What game had $20 horse armor?

tonamel,

Of course they made the trivial mistake, because they also made a much, much bigger one. The X trademark as it pertains to social media is owned by Meta, who bought it from Microsoft when they acquired Mixer (which later became Facebook Gaming), including Mixer's X logo.

tonamel,

I don't think anybody worries about those things happening with long dresses, which are already plenty common and have similar risk.

tonamel,

Have you considered that they probably feel the same way about you? That you're disregarding what they say and pushing back with your own outlook?

tonamel,

Just finished Grime, so I'm diving into Oxenfree 2. I've also got Amnesia: The Bunker waiting in the wings for whenever I'm feeling brave enough.

I've been checking out a ton of PICO-8 games lately. One of my fav things that some game devs do is unlimited lives.

I get the whole "3 strikes and you're out" in baseball, and sometimes in life, but like... I don't want to die, I want another chance. Let me try again and again! (In games & life.)

I did see a game where it gave you 100 lives, and that's cool too, because you know what? We all screw up sometimes.

99 more chances to get it right is still pretty good.

tonamel,

I see limited lives as a design relic from the arcade era. You needed limited lives to extract more quarters from players, but we're pretty far from that necessity these days.

tonamel,

Sealioning is specifically a reference to this comic strip from Wondermark

tonamel,

So the answer to your other question is "Yes!" The Statue of Liberty is also green because it's made of copper. It was metallic when it was first installed in 1886, but had turned fully green within 20 years.

tonamel,

Are you thinking of OpenOffice, maybe? OnlyOffice's latest stable release is only three weeks ago, while OpenOffice has only had incremental updates to version 4.1 since 2014.

tonamel,

You're correct that it often comes pre-installed, but the banner on those say "Office has not been activated" not "The license isn't genuine"

OotL: What happened with Elon Musk? And Twitter?

Ages ago Elon Musk used to be positively regarded by most people. I missed everything that happened that changed the public opinion, I missed the changes he imposed on Twitter (though I gather it’s the same as it happened with reddit, only earlier) and yeah. I’m out of the loop. If someone can briefly recap the main events...

tonamel,

There was a popular tweet that went around for a bit, that said something along the lines of "When Musk started SpaceX and people called him a genius, I believed them because I don't know anything about how space programs work. When people said he was a genius for his work at Tesla, I believed them because I don't know anything about cars. Now he owns Twitter, and I know programming and the things he's doing are the dumbest things I've ever seen, which makes me think twice about his space program and cars."

Basically, he managed to get followers because he focused on niche technology and hey, he's rich so he must know what he's doing. But then he started saying things more and more publicly, culminating with the takeover and ruination of Twitter, and people finally saw him for who he actually is, because he was in control of something that affected them directly, and handling it terribly.

tonamel,

One thing I've found invaluable about a visual interface is the ability to quickly browse the commit tree. Having a big list of commits that you can sort and click to see the diff of each file has saved me on multiple occasions. I'm sure it's all info you can get from the CLI as well, but I can't imagine it being even half as fast.

tonamel,

only members of the communities I frequent are the ones who care enough to protest

That's one of the most solipsistic "if it doesn't affect me it doesn't exist" comments I've seen in a good while.

How do you get an avatar on kbin.social?

tonamel,

The avatar upload is in the profile tab of the settings page which is different than your profile page just to keep you on your toes.

What's a smaller or indie game you think everyone should play?

tonamel,

@eggie Yoku's Island Express. It's a metroidvania, but also pinball. It's an absolute delight.

tonamel,

Unfortunately that link doesn't work on kbin, which uses /m/ instead of /c/

Hopefully we'll get patches in the future that will link the ! format correctly no matter what software or instance we're using.

tonamel,

Phineas Gage. He was a railroad worker who, in a freak accident, had a large iron rod driven completely through his head, destroying a chunk of his brain. He survived, but his personality had completely changed. It led to a lot of rethinking on what the brain actually does.
