It’s more of an anthology series, so most of the games are unconnected. This is the first direct sequel to the original LiS featuring the original main character.
There are also two different studios involved: Dontnod created the original game, Life is Strange 2 (2018), and the spinoff The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, but the other three games in the series were made by Deck Nine.
Looking at the photo, it doesn’t seem to have an analogue stick? In which case its appeal for PSP, N64, DC and PS1 all dip considerably imo
Pretty sure that’s the model Apple News+ uses, but the price has always seemed pretty steep to me compared to other subscription services.
I don’t think anyone is out there scared that they’re going to find themselves present at the heat death of the universe, they’re scared of the implication: the idea that nothing matters, even on the grandest of scales, because everything will be lost in the end.
The fear isn’t physical, it’s philosophical.
Bit of a deep cut, but Schmigadoon! was utterly brilliant and I wish they’d been given another season or three to explore more styles.
Yes, absolutely. Why would you not?
You’re going to see them regularly anyway, so might as well be on friendly terms. Depending on where you work it’s possible or even likely that you’ll share some common interests too.
Yes, you or they will probably leave the company at some point, but that’s no reason not to make friends in the meantime. People come and go all the time; that’s life! If you’re lucky, you’ll make a friendship that survives even if you have to part ways at work. If not, just be happy with the friendship you had for as long as it lasted.
On the other hand, r/switchpirates is transparently a community for the express purpose of pirating Nintendo games for their current system. It’s one of the rare cases where I think they probably can make a slam-dunk legal case to shut it down.
So the full name of the UK is ‘United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland’. As the name suggests, it includes Great Britain, Northern Ireland, plus a bunch of smaller islands nearby.
Great Britain is the main island, and contains three countries: England, Scotland, and Wales. They’re all separate countries governed collectively by the UK government, but they also have their own local governments (kind of like how states in the US can have their own laws but must also adhere to federal law).
A Briton is someone from Britain.
I can’t speak confidently to the stuff about Canada & Australia, but hopefully that covers several of your questions!
On the other hand, it’s only 26 pages per issue. Tons of space for a deep dive if covering just one game, but only a fraction of a normal magazine, so the value proposition is different.
That said, I do agree - it’s a bold choice. Normally the appeal of a magazine like Retro Gamer is that they cover so many topics per issue that you’re bound to find at least one or two interesting articles. By focusing on just one game, it’s much more likely that you’re alienating a majority of potential readers each time and failing to build a consistent audience.
Seems very unlikely this is a rights expiry issue, so I would imagine they’re clearing out to make way for new ports at some point next year.
Because Windows doesn’t support OS-wide text formatting/manipulation like macOS does.
The system already existed in macOS so it was easy enough to plug writing tools into it, but to do the same in Windows would mean completely rewriting how Windows handles text display and editing (and no doubt causing an avalanche of compatibility issues with old apps).
Onward isn’t licensing every single one of Microsoft’s computer peripherals. Some classics, like the Intellimouse or its modern iterations, for example, don’t make the Incase reboot list.
That sucks - the Intellimouse Pro from a few years ago was a fantastic mouse.
Because it has a library of interesting and innovative exclusives, making use of an unusual control input. Whether that makes it worth it or not is personal preference, but you can’t disagree that it offers something unique.
Because improving visuals is an easily quantifiable task, but improving gameplay requires creativity and risk-taking, neither of which are compatible with the AAA business model.
Yep, early 2000s in the UK and everyone was using MSN. I didn’t know a single person using AIM or ICQ!
Funny how this is posted to World, but it’s an exclusively American phenomenon. I’m in the UK and haven’t had to use my physical signature to pay for anything for about fifteen years, let alone something as trivial as a restaurant bill.
I think the intended use case is summarising a series of messages, not just one
Bad summary - the full list of games now supporting analogue controls is:
I just want to know what you people are doing to your fast food over in America that is giving people diarrhoea so reliably. Every time I hear people from the US talk about places like Taco Bell, someone inevitably mentions its catastrophic effect on their stomach.
Why is that accepted as normal?!
We have Taco Bell in the UK too and it’s… fine? I eat out or order food at least once a week and I could count on one hand the number of times I’ve EVER had food poisoning, but apparently over in America it’s basically guaranteed?? What in the absolute fuck is going on over there?
Nah, that’s a Tesco uniform so probably UK. It’ll be a Chicago Town mini pizza.
