Would you recommend it as an entry point? I listened to the Besties and Postgames episodes about it recently and have been mulling it over.

For starters, she'd probably take her kidnapping as an opportunity to use Nicole to hack Metal Sonic. The close proximity would allow Nicole to start working her magic on Metal Sonic's circuitry. I don't think this would change anything we see in the *game*, but it would plant some fun story seeds.

So how does Sonic CD change if we swap Amy Rose out for Sally

The original manual for the United States said it was Sally instead of Amy, so... what changes about the story then

Yes, this is a dumb idea, but I don't care (1/2)

I like that they look a little more confident of themselves in the second shot. Like they've gotten more comfortable as characters over time.

A screenshot of a character's Info window in City of Heroes, showing the character Short-Cut. The Badges tab is selected, with the phrase 1500 Badges Earned at the top before it begins listing many badges (the visible categories including Architect Entertainment and Day Jobs badges).

Below this window is a chat window showing Looking For Group chatter, and some game information text, showing the defeat of an enemy called Type 22, rewarded experience points and information (the in-game currency for that part of the game), the reception of Focused Rage (a damage-boosting item in the game), and two text notifications giving congratulations for earning the Escapee badge, and then the Until the End off the World badge.)

In City of Heroes I just got the 1500th badge, and am more pleased with myself than I should be about being able to open my character's Info window in the brief moment or so before the game automatically gave me the 1501st badge (the badge for getting 1500 badges).

One of the (many) things I love about Klingons is that that deal in *weird* sciences. It's subtle, but they've always got these weird technologies on hand that feel like they belong to a different set of science rules than the Vulcans or Federation follow.

PANEL 1: ARTHUR, a yellow duck, sits under a tree with a laptop in front of him. SHELDON, a ten year old boy with large glasses, stands back in the distance.
ARTHUR: This episode of Star Trek has Picard trying to SOLVE Fermat’s Theorem. But Fermat’s Theorem was solved in 1994, just a few years after this episode was written.
SHELDON: Wait. WAIT.

PANEL 2: Close up on SHELDON, dramatically lit from below.
SHELDON: Are you saying Star Trek’s not an…ACCURATE portrayal of the future?? THAT IT’S ALL JUST LIES??

PANEL 3: Back to the scene with Arthur under the tree.
ARTHUR: Well, it—
SHELDON: DOES PICARD EVEN LIKE TEA?

This thread is embarrassing and displays a wild misunderstanding of how this tech works, resulting in work that legitimizes what it seeks to criticize

In short: stop asking chatbots to comment on geopolitics (or anything, really) you credulous rubes

Man, the custom table felts @skunkapegames.com made for Tycho in the new Poker Night At The Inventory really made me smile. The deep cut On The Rain-Slick Precipice Of Darkness one got me deep down.

Over the holidays I played Legos with my 4-year-old nephew and I watched him round up all the sparkly crystalline bricks while whispering to himself “Beautiful. Beautiful. Only beautiful things” and this has become a permanent part of my lexicon

Been thinking more about this because I usually /like/ friction in my games. Games should make people have a bad time more often.

The problem isn't the friction, it's the fact that it's meaningless. It's mean and capricious friction, not pointed and considered friction.

Got mixed feelings about it.

Ten years ago I would've been pumped. ...dunno now.
