From Software games have been building on a game engine and design concept for decades across platforms and franchises.

Your average game developer isn’t going to be able to adapt that very easily or faithfully.

The Roguelike/lite as a standalone genre though is a little more expansive and forgiving to judge.

I always have to remind myself being able to stream audio from a cellphone while driving across a city is also a pretty crazy development.

TVs became SmartTVs and now need the internet to turn on. The TVs need an OS now to internet to do TV.

Antennae broadcast TV seems like an ancient magic.

Unfortunately this covenant is a deep bond. To sever ties with one is to sever with all.

The best single pizza was a pepperoni pizza from a street vendor in Hawaii many years ago, with hot sauce I still special order from the islands.

However… if we’re just talling toppings a pineapple, peppercini pizza is my dark horse favorite pizzas. I first tried essentially on a bet. Never would’ve expected it to be so good, and have since determined it’s best (optionally) with chicken, feta, and/or roasted garlic.

Tuberculosis (consumption) was another constant killer, coming in at second.

There’s this one neat trick: Just call the communists fascist!

Now you can support foreign invasion and regime change as a proud member of anti-fa!

…Still won’t oppose capitalism though.

Spongebob’s eyebrows are symbolically, if not literally, Amazon. What did the artist mean by this?

Part of this I believe can be attributed to labelling rules. Only the concentrate portion can be called juice.

When it is made from concentrate the reconstituting water is the main ingredient. What’s shitty is that water gets more and more sugar/HFCS mixed in so less concentrate is used. Getting it down to 10% or less like that: it’s just flavoring the corn.

Especially the pizza box.

It’s the Street Fighter 2 to Street Fighter 1.

There are about a half dozen new mechanics woven into the game.

They learned a little from Balatro, added some questlines like FTL, and added a whole multiplayer component.

I hear you, though I am more inclined to take a Gramscian view that cultural hegemony of capitalist/imperial core entities convert those anarchists to libertarians, or some form of compromised anarcho-syndicalism or libertarian socialism. So I wouldn’t call them anarchists.

But it’s not a True Scotsman thing for me, so I don’t fundamentally disagree with that perspective.

Anarchists usually don’t need the kind of deprogramming of capitalist, monarchist, colonial, or imperial systems that socialist and Marxist theories typically focus on.

We both work from home. We have neither excuses nor anyone to blame.

We’re just the third panel twice in a standoff with the dishes.

Oops, all bad bombs.

Say what you want about Bush, even that war criminal didn’t go as far.

Any point you might’ve had about land acquisition, separatism, or imperialism, is pretty hard invalidated by this comparison. Like, why add Bush as a qualifier?

Also a cautionary tale on adding and removing features without plan or controls. Every ‘hey could we add…? It’s what everyones talking about!’ is another step taken away from the design.

Derp I’d checked 1998 and then didnt check 1999 after I saw the shadow.

Not how March was in 1998 or 1999. Also the shadow leading from the firearm along the arm is also bogus.

Same. The matching fancy side collects dust. The silly side gets used til things break.
