I was confused reading that comic, because in French checkers is called “dames”.

So yeah, even in that game, the guy would barge in and command you to “lady” him.

You’re right, this is what they’ve been announcing. The games you’ve bought will still be available for download.

This is not the case with the sega games we’re talking about. The announcement specifically mentions the games will still be available to download if you bought them before the delisting.

Now play Fire Emblem. The S rank Sword of Ultimate Swording has 10 uses before it vanishes from existence. I’m keeping it in my inventory untouched forever.

Can’t wait for the Banjo-Kazooie and Minecraft skins.

If it was there and I missed it somehow (doubt it, I spent a while in the area patching up my minotaur etc), there is no reason for the buying interface to even show up. I think that definitely counts as a bug.

And Metroid only had Samus Returns quite late in the 3DS’s lifetime, and absolutely fuck all on Wii U. Only virtual console.

If anyone even remembers it, no, Federation Force doesn’t count.

You’re paying for the better seed, obviously. Do you think random numbers come for free?

That’s okay, you can drop any pretense of trying to actually make a game around your crypto scam.

Congrats for banning two innocent customers for “security reasons” (apparently code for “your own incompetence”), that’s definitely the kind of thing you need to make your victims customers trust your shady bullshit.

Except that doesn’t work. I had the nanite requirement as I claimed the reward form the expedition tab. I literally didn’t check the quicksilver bot before ending the expedition.

And a short while after I couldn’t pay for the reward, my save converted to a normal game and the expedition tab disappeared.

Technically I have “claimed” it, as it is unlocked in the quicksilver vendor, but on my expedition save it’s marked as already redeemed, and… Well no ship.

The article is not about how the game shouldn’t be political (because this notion is absurd). It’s about how idiotic the treatment of the writer’s views is, to the point it feels like a parody of the statement they wanted to make.

The article is not about what you think it is about. Try reading it.

Yeah, the critter was not what I expected, but it looks kinda cool.

Where I live, even our winter time isn’t close to be aligned with sun time (GMT+1 though we’re basically on the Greenwich meridian). Summer time is off by two hours.

Problem is, our school/work/activity schedules have been made to adapt to that, so having days centered around actual sun midday would sound like crazy talk to people. It’s just because of how we already compensated for it.

In France we did switch last week. Almost nobody cares about going out for trick or treat, though.

Incroyable que ça soit encore autorisé cette merde.

I can understand putting that condition on past ships, so you can’t cheese too much on a new game/expedition (I don’t think it was necessary, but I get why they’d do it).

The shitty part is that it did so too on the expedition quest reward. Like, it skipped the final reward forever on my expedition save because suddenly it randomly required nanites to claim.

And I checked the quicksilver bot afterwards, the ship is shown as already claimed, so I can’t even farm and try again.

I had that egg bug too a few days ago, but it’s supposed to be fixed in the latest patch. I could hatch the egg since anyway.

The most vivid memory I have of this is the crazy title screen music (CPC version, not sure if every versions had it).

Yeah, I am not sure I can relate either. My favourite games on the NES and SNES when I was a kid are still games I sometimes replay and enjoy today.

Closest thing to the comic I could find would be Ecco the Dolphin, maybe. I had the PC version, and I finished it a few times back then, I was stubborn and a bit bored. Not that long ago I tried returning to it, and maybe try the second game… And wow, it feels like a chore to play.

But even back then, it was not a game I liked that much. I liked how it looked, the creatures you’d meet and the crazy plot, but gameplay already felt tedious and stupidly unforgiving.
