Step 1: Very important! Do a shot

 Wed Nov 09 00:03:40 +0000 2016

The Dark Eye in your browser, peeps. I can almost taste it. https://x.com/textfiles/status/796140539880030208

 Wed Nov 09 00:04:21 +0000 2016

Step 2: remove head, and fins

 Wed Nov 09 00:05:46 +0000 2016

Step 3: do a shot

 Wed Nov 09 00:07:07 +0000 2016

Step 4: Peel off the scales. The fish is dry, so they come off fairly easily and in chunks

 Wed Nov 09 00:11:52 +0000 2016

Step 5: do a shot

 Wed Nov 09 00:12:41 +0000 2016

Step 6: using the tail, literally tear the fish in two

 Wed Nov 09 00:14:09 +0000 2016

That's actually it. Top half is ready to eat. Just rip pieces of meat off the bone

 Wed Nov 09 00:15:52 +0000 2016

A delicious salty snack

 Wed Nov 09 00:17:40 +0000 2016

Bottom half is a bit more complicated since that's where all the bones are at. You can eat it like ribs, if the ribs were tiny

 Wed Nov 09 00:19:48 +0000 2016

But most importantly don't forget to do a shot

 Wed Nov 09 00:20:38 +0000 2016

 Wed Nov 09 00:21:15 +0000 2016

The fish is called "Vobla", but Russian dry fish will probably do when you're at the place :)

I mean, I'm aware of the modding scene at that time, & know big mods from that time, but I'm not an expert. What do you need?

 Sat Nov 19 18:31:39 +0000 2016

That one I'm not familiar with

 Sat Nov 19 18:34:16 +0000 2016

I'll take a crack at the ones you're having trouble with.

Could be. It looks like this game was cobbled together in a couple of months just to fill a gap between products.

I guess I should have said "feels like" instead of "looks like"

So far all new games I've played this year were Shardlight, Day of the Tentacle Remastered, Red Comrades 1 & 2, & Duke Nukem 3D: World Tour.

Staying on the cutting age of gaming!

Dott is great, apart from some new sound effects that don't sound anything like the old ones.

 Sat Nov 19 19:23:06 +0000 2016

World Tour's new content is lots of fun, and the engine is a bit better than Megaton, but I don't think it's worth $20.

 Sat Nov 19 19:24:01 +0000 2016

It includes the later "enhanced" release.

 Sat Nov 19 19:24:23 +0000 2016

? The Edisons are light blue in the enhanced version.

 Sat Nov 19 19:27:05 +0000 2016

That was last year.

 Sat Nov 19 19:28:45 +0000 2016

Terrible game :)

 Sat Nov 19 19:29:17 +0000 2016

I own several copies of Stalker.

 Sat Nov 19 19:42:38 +0000 2016

Of course.

Yeah, it's processor dependent. Feels like it was quickly thrown together to generate some cash.
