This was my experience with Dark Souls Prepare to Die Edition. It was supposed to be a travesty of a port, and then I played it, and it...had some screen tearing, I guess?

I think stuff like this was why they added the "eras" system, where you couldn't advance to later sections of the tech tree without specific technologies, even if they weren't direct prerequisites to the tech you wanted.

Do people celebrate the horse testicles thing? The only context I ever see it mentioned is in reference to the ridiculous excess of AAA development.

Pokรฉmon: Expectation vs. Reality Which Pokรฉmon looks like it should have higher stats?

Inspired by memes about how Pokรฉmon stats make no sense, I made a web app that ranks Pokรฉmon by their stats - or rather, what users think their stats should be, based on their appearance.
