It looks good but every part of the city looks identical.

Huh, you think? I thought at least the in-universe Chinatown, Watson, the Suburbs and Pacifica felt very distinct.

huh, I found Night City to be among the best representation of an actual lived in city.

Also skip most of the gunplay and spec into cyberwizard to blow people up with your mind

Wind Waker is not beyond criticism, even on the sailing part (what a slog in the original version in the midgame, honestly). But that wasn’t really what the hullaballoo was about back then, because the game wasn’t out. I personally do not understand how anyone can not marvel at the art style of Wind Waker but taste is subjective. I think this article gives an allright overview, even with “we were lied to!” by this 5 second trailer clearly styled after OOT with no mention of the actual game

On the flipside I don’t think just boycott works, not with the way IP law is structured. If you want true archival of games that has to be put into law, otherwise eventually somebody just buys the Remnants of Ubisoft and figures all those long life SSDs aren’t worth it to keep around anymore.

I think if you wanted to do this you have to just get politically involved like in general. You can’t single issue this, there’s too many hurdles. From gerontocratic parliaments over to IP laws and a general populaces ignorance as to how important keeping history and archives is this was never going to fly. Very much a true love is possible only in the next world - for new people. It is too late forus. wreak havoc on the middle class thing.

I’ll repeat this as often as this comes up, Wind Waker was widely hated in online forums back when it was announced because the 12 year old who played OoT were now 16 and wanted LoZ: More Tits and Gore and that whole debacle predated Gamergate by 12 years despite basically just being “LoZ has gone woke!!!” with the particular words put through a thesaurus.

If that’s true, why have all the other Actions failed?

Cause it’s nominal and “bring underway legislation” is a catch all term. Petitions to democratic parliaments are bullshit, why would any of them care about - as you point out - a single issue thaat 0,22% of the population signed up for?

They might have to have it as a point of order for the next meeting, in which they all decide “nah, no legislation needed, shit’s fine” and be done with it. That’s how most petitions go, anyways. You cannot force a law into existence by petitions.

Does that mean as a US citizen I get to decide EU laws?

No, not how petitions work in the EU. Nominally it means they can force the EU parliament to bring underway legislation concering the topic, albeit there isn’t really a control mechanism for this. But say they do it anyways lest they lose even more credibility, considering games despite having existed for at least 50 years at this point are foreign objects to basically everyone that is the leftovers in the EU Parliament Ubisoft or whatever is gonna send two lobbyists and it ends up at at some sort of EU law that says “under reasonable circumstances video games should have to be playable after the copyright holder abandons service except if it costs them any money”

yeah it vindicates my approach of packing stuff via just throwing it in there. no I’m not lazy and disorderly, this is optimal cargo space usage

Half the fun of Philomena Cunk is she’s like half right or at least you can see where she starts from.

I’m not into comics but now i’m genuinely curious; is there a comic story where the radiation turned a woman super? Only one springs to my mind is fantastic 4s invisible woman, which, you know, there’s some subtext. I’m also not counting things like She-Hulk cause that lacks originality.

Is there more turtles turned super by ooze or radiation than women?

Hell of a layup for some sort of presumably christian group to claim this is god sending a plague on account of the crimes we do to animals but i’m sure they’ll all just squander this

The first Far Cry is not worth playing today. It’s a standard-setting-tech-demo for the shooter genre. It was important in its time and genuinely a good game back then, not now.

I highly recommend Far Cry 2 and Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, which are a combined 5 eurodollars from where I sit because they both, in different ways, really actually use the fact that video games are an interactive medium to do something with it beyond having fun gameplay that unlocks the next cutscene

Brew Barons is like half arcade planer shooter half RPG, maybe it fits your tastes. It’s 10 eurodollars and is set in legally-not-porco-rosso-world. You definitely don’t play this for the story, but I found it quite charming.

There really should be just a specific pet owners license. It’s insane that every idiot can just buy an animal and then unknowingly and with the best of intentions mistreat the fuck out of it

I didn’t know the NATO is the arbiter of this. I’d’ve figured there’d be something less openly biased towards certain states here

can’t argue with that

sounds good as fuck but that’s not a burger

I’ve seen the chinese wide burger, the americans are also 50 years behind on burger tech

It’s kind of insane that every hardkill system designed so far fails at either “what if you just throw a bit of rubbish at it first” or “what if there’s more than one missile”

Inside Frontex there’s two wolves

This’d be such a good plot point
