It never stopped working

The integration is a bit different since you can't patch the exe anymore. You either have to launch the game with a parameter, or add a dehacked lump into a wad.

... because Brat was made when Balabanov ran out of money while shooting Of Freaks and Men, and that one he shot in actual sepia.

So is the spiritual successor to Descent called "Overload". Both of these games stick to the classic formula pretty close, but have enough additions, improvements, and polish that they become more entertaining than the originals.

You could arm yourself with a fork, stab anyone to death, then go through their stuff and put socks in their books, then steal enough ingredients to bake enough loaves of bread to stack them and climb over a wall. And the game would keep going.

 Fri Sep 06 05:59:43 +0000 2019

YM2612 version of Cryo's Dune soundtrack doesn't have the kick of OPL3 or even OPL2, but that soundtrack still manages to be cool just by being geared towards FM-synthesis's strengths.

 Fri Sep 06 06:06:12 +0000 2019

Such a shame that so very few soundtracks actually use FM synthesis as their basis. Don't get me wrong, I love certain FM adaptations of MIDI (I for one think that one in Monkey Island 2 is pretty fucking great), but largely OPL2/3 was kind of left underused.

What do any of those have to do with anything? First I disagree that half of those are even remotely good, especially freaking Siberia, which is straight up garbage, but also most of them don't follow Monkey Island tropes, which was my original point.

Never cared to listened to Joe Rogan, but decided that I wanted to hear John Carmack talk on a pod, and... What? This stuff is popular? Is he stoned all the time? Because it goes something like this:
Carmack: *Says 5000 words*
Rogan: ... What was that about wires being too small?

JR: *100 words about how people waste their lives looking at their cell phones and a leading question fishing for a confirmation*

Carmack: *1000 words about how he thinks it's great*

Now I'm intrigued, since I sort of gave up on Remedy games a while ago. Have you played Max Payne 1 or 2?

 Sun Sep 15 05:17:51 +0000 2019

Club Dread is not a bad movie, it just isn't a great slasher spoof because they though that setting up ridiculous premises for horror scenes and then playing them somewhat straight would be funny. But the thing is, horror films most often do have ridiculous setups as well.

 Sun Sep 15 05:21:41 +0000 2019

And then there isn't enough dick jokes in between these scenes to fill the usual Broken Lizard quota. I do appreciate the premise though. It's one of those films that you know a better movie could have been eventually been made if they developed it just a little bit further.

 Sun Sep 15 05:23:09 +0000 2019

I do feel like they learned their lessons and applied them in Beerfest, which functions well as both the underdog sports team movie spoof, and a college humor joke collection. Pretty much every scene is on point in both of those aspects, so there's that.

Nobody's life should b destroyed because of an anonymous tweet, but as someone who's been around abusers who have figured out the system and managed to a comfortable spot to exist within it, I'd say that 1 should be able to speak up about being abused. What's the end game here?

Yes.

 Mon Sep 16 18:32:19 +0000 2019

This is a complicated issue. Like you said, I don't have to believe Kennedy or good ex-wife. I also feel that a real non defensive apology needs to be something like this https://youtu.be/SyKA8ARBSkw

 Mon Sep 16 18:37:18 +0000 2019

When a bunch of your co-workers say you're an asshole, you might have being an asshole something to apologize for. Being an asshole is not the same as being an abuser, but notorious assholes who brush it off when confronted don't deserve my empathy when they suddenly ask for it.

 Mon Sep 16 18:51:17 +0000 2019

Never seen any of those, but if several people who have personally collaborated with you have come out and publicly claimed all these things, I'd at least give them a consideration, yes.

 Mon Sep 16 18:57:12 +0000 2019

Also I don't understand what "art" has to fucking do with this. I don't work in arts, I work in retail, and I've seen these things happen. It's a universal issue of power abuse, and it's not limited to any particular industry.

 Mon Sep 16 19:12:04 +0000 2019

I guess. But I personally saw a friend of mine get fired because of a simple & rather innocent thing, but at the same time I personally I had to fight to have known abusers removed. Once my entire team had to threaten to walk out just to get ONE guy fired.

 Mon Sep 16 19:23:30 +0000 2019

Remember how old first person shooter games could only render environments in straight vertical lines, and looking up or down at extreme angles introduced this weird warping? #DOSGaming

 Fri Sep 20 19:38:45 +0000 2019

I sometimes miss this, but not as much as properly billboarded enemy and item sprites that seem to have universally been replaced with textures on flat quads in modern implementations of old engines. Everything looks like a cardboard cutout.

 Fri Sep 20 19:43:07 +0000 2019

Oh that I always hated. It just looks too wobbly for me. At least vertical slices are consistent.
