There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don’t.

Yeah I had to look it up when I first saw it too. I thought it was a typo or something.

It’s not perfect - there’s a mechanic where you can test someone’s blood to determine if they’re a Thing, but sometimes there are scripted moments that override it and just instantly flip someone. So you could literally test someone, find that they’re clean, then walk to the next room and SPLAARBGCHH they turn into a monster.

That said, it still does manage to capture a ton of what made the movie so special: an amazing setting, some terrifying threats, and awesome tension. Plus, if you love the movie, it actually does a good job of expanding the immediate universe of the story without feeling grossly tacked on.

Overall, I’m super psyched to grab this when it comes out. I never completely finished the game so this will be my chance.

Sport peppers. 🤷‍♂️

I mean if Star Control 2 wasn’t vastly superior in every way or you could just erase it from history, the game would have had some charm to it. But comparatively, it was a pretty tragic letdown.

The one good part that I still remember though was the quest where you had to retrieve a Daktaklakpak Data Pak. That tickled me since I’m a sucker for fun wordplay.

EVERYONE PLEEEEEASE BACK THIS!

First off, it’s a sequel (by the original creators) to a game that clearly helped inspire Mass Effect as well as some of the greatest game designers ever. Second, it’s being made without any of the modern live service, microtransaction, evil tricksy EULA manipulations, and other bullshit plagues of recent gaming. THIRD, the art and music are lovingly hand-crafted and build off of one of the most charming, memorable, and musically brilliant games of all time. AND FOURTH, ~i want an Xbox port~. We’re so close! Only $23k left!!!

Arguably it’s not detrimental to the reputation of the game, but the company.

“Great game. Never buy it.”

The game where punching Shang Tsung in the nuts hard locked the game!

Agreed that people are getting too feisty up in here.

But that said, I’m a big fan of making WHATEVER topped-with-potatoes pie out of leftovers, and I’m sure my wife and I have done it with things that would cause the purists to lose their damn minds. I think we’re gonna make one with leftover Ethiopian this week.

I bought a Series S with them a couple years ago and already have another $250 or so saved up.

Yeah but I think if you average out “direct exposition” and “mind-boggling WTF” You come out in a good place.

That movie is such a rollercoaster you owe it to yourself to finish. It’s just an accelerating spiral of weirdness.

Never would have thought “other people’s genitals” would have been it, but I seem to have vastly overestimated their critical thinking capacity.

Maybe try vegetable shortening for a veggiesaurus version? Might set up better than oil.
