  • Because that was the beginning of the adventure game era where there was no concept of game design and ensuring that the games made logical sense, hence the birth of “moon logic”, thanks Roberta. These games were also made to be obtuse because games were very expensive back then and making obscure logic was an incentive to make things more “worth” it, often intending to make the game last months of play time to solve their “logic” puzzles and you had to be in tune with the game designer to get them.

    Not to mention that due to intention or lack of game design, these games were notorious for allowing you to put yourself into a unwinnable state with no way to correct it, things like Space Quest with the alien kiss of death that won’t trigger until the very end of the game or that Kings Quest game where you had one shot to throw a boot at a cat or you’d be dead man walking.

    Not being able to finish these games wasn’t even unusual back then without the help of friends or BBS. Heck I had games adventure games I bought from that era that I never finished until the got re-released on Steam.

    The $1,019-a-month, seven-year loan he took out was more than double his previous car loan for a 2013 Camero. It didn’t cause him too much trouble at first.

    Melissa Dickerson never imagined she would end up with a $1,100 monthly car payment, especially for a used car. Then her son wrecked her Acura.

    This isn’t a article about 1K+ car loans, it’s about American Idiots and American males with SDE.

    They only have one god damn line that actually addresses the issue:

    , as well as the cutting of production on cheaper models.

    And if the article isn’t bad enough, it’s locked behind a “agree” button unless you use a vpn and if it’s this bad now, can’t wait to see how CNN will be after MAGA gets a hold of it.
