What, why? I thought we all agreed that Starfield was tedious and unrewarding.

I never saw these until more recently, but seems like they would be so limited and un-fun. Historically interesting though

It was so much more difficult to be an asshole before internet.

The only ways most people could communicate was by phone conversation, mailed letter (probably hand-written), or in person.

There was no online anonymity. If you said something, you owned it. There was a social obligation to be chill.

Many years from now…

Timmy: Dad, why did we go to war with Iran?

Dad: well, son, people found out the president liked little girls too much…and not in a good way…

Yeah, so like, you just have to let it happen. It's the law probably.

So wait... you're telling me you're firing tens of thousands of human workers because Sam Altman promised robots would be able to do their jobs pretty soon?

LOL what dingus gave you a leadership role?

You really think robots can replace human empathy?
You clearly lack it yourself.

I'll go ahead and recommend Breathless from Black Mask Studios, 2018.

They lay a pretty good foundation for a deep comic world but 4 issues just wasn't enough to really tap into it. Not sure if there was ever a follow-up series or anything.

Good read though.

I know I say this like all the time, but these have got to be the NASTIEST batch of NES games I've ever gotten.

Chirper's sugar biscuits was the last item from the D&D cookbook I was interested to make. They were really good!

In a world where Hades 2 exists, this game is a wasted effort.
