I believe The Swindle got console versions at launch back in the days? I'd like to imagine your current publisher would help you achieve that now as well as I actually have no clue why else you'd actually need them.

I'd be pretty surprised if this is still going to happen unless it's already printed as well.

Classifying King of Dragons and Knights of the Round as RPGs pretty much would have told enough of what to make of that as well.

Funnily enough I did not see (the press release, that is) because years ago, your glorious publisher decided to blacklist me and the entire team I work with on oour magazine for the crime of... actually wanting to review one of his games. Oh well.

Having just contributed my required poking for Henry (and looking forward to reviwing it, of course), I hope you will forgive me for poking about what's happening with codes for Is This Seat Taken on Switch?

I suspect that also depends on the outcome? Having someone say they like it despite usually not being into VNs clearly must feel great, but someone going straight to "this sucks because there's no action/gameplay" (I've seen such "reviews" for e.g. Steins;Gate) on the other hand...

To put an obvious example, handing somebody who hates reading a Visual Novel for a review surely most likely won't result in a something useful for anyone.

I respect that, though I find it problematic if reviews are written by people who show an active dislike to the source material or a genre. While they might provide an interesting second opion, I feel it's more suitable if the main review is done by someone who doesn't have negative preconceptions.

I'm curious, if I may: How do you feel about people reviewing your game while repeatedly claiming that Legacy is a crap movie, therefore showing they are not really that qualified to judge TRON-related things?

Darf ich mich ein bisschen wundern, warum mir wohl jemand auf LinkedIn eine Vernetzungseinladung schickt, der mich vor nicht allzu langer Zeit mit einem Burner-Account (nicht endgültig beweisbar, aber die Indizien waren doch recht eindeutig) wüst in einem Forum beschimpft hat?

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind is apparently really good. Definitely has a lovely pixely look and as added bonus for people who still care about this, it also just got a non-FOMO physical release for PS5 & Switch as well.

I'd like to hope on Switch 2 it's running with 60 fps while Old Switch pretty surely will stick to 30, which would make quite a bit of difference imho.

Personally, I almost always stick to PS5/Xbox over Switch for multi-system releases whenever performance comes into play.

Only if technical performance doesn't matter at all. Which I assume what many Switch users actually feel about that because portable use is the only thing mattering to them.

I'd still prefer better framerates and so on.

No, they are not. As also shown by Switch 2 releases that are actual codes in a box like Split Fiction or Civ 7.

Assuming I'd want to stick to a portable version (as in there's no PS5 version around, which in this case obviously there is) and actually play it, I would go for the one with better performance even, so that's still making sense.

Tommy Cash was robbed.

Kaum noch zu glauben, dass man sich früher mal auf Google-Infos einigermaßen verlassen konnte.

Ohne Übertreibung die mit Abstand beschissendste Interaktion, die ich mit irgendwem auf Publisher/PR-Seite in den letzten 15 Jahren (mindestens) hatte. Seitdem natürlich auch nix mehr von denen gestestet, was nachvollziehbar sein dürfte.

Erst abgewiesen nach dem Motto "Nur wer bei MC auftaucht, ist für mich überhaupt relevant" und weil man es eine Woche später nochmal höflich probiert hat, seitdem sogar vom Verteiler der Pressemitteilunge gestrichen (alle in der Redaktion, nicht nur ich). Mittelkleiner Indieschuppen, wohlgemerkt.

Da juckt es mich ja schon in den Fingern, wenn in meine Timeline jemand reingequotet wird, der jetzt um mehr Aufmerksamkeit für sein gerade veröffentlichtes Spiel bettelt, das wegen Oblivion keiner beachtet, aber uns vor Jahren nach einer Musteranfrage dermaßen großkotzig-aggressiv abgekanzelt hat.

The disc (or cart) is there so you can put a box on your shelf and to work as a dongle. Obviously not what we'd ideally want it to be, but still much better than a code-in-a-box or just no physical avilability at all.

I'll run a review pretty much instantly the moment you send me Behold the Kickmen: Revenge of the Ball for Switch 2.

You conducted the interview, helped making it possible for us to use it and provided the fotographs of Carol, that‘s plenty in my opinion.

@bitmapbooks.com Hi there! Is it really not possible to change my email adress use for my account on the web shop by myself? In that case, hopefully you can change it from our end?

Geht ein alter Mann in die Tanzlounge…

Eigentlich hätte ich ja schon erwartet, dass McDonald's wenigstens auf der eigenen Webseite bzw. in der App korrekte Öffnungszeiten der Filialen aufführen kann. Aber dem ist tatsächlich nicht so. Pfft.

People using a Funko as their avatar automatically are disqualified from basically everything.

1. Buch auf Kickstarter mit 5x-Zielsumme durchbringen
2. Jahre länger als geplant brauchen, dann aber als erstes auf Amazon verkaufen
3. Backer noch fast 2 Jahre warten lassen
4. Nicht damit glückliche Backer als "unausstehlischer Trottel" und "unerträglicher Arsch" beschimpfen

Kann man machen...

I feel it's somewhat relevant to see the context of where that article was published.
