Look at this beauty! Francis Tresham's 1829, first and greatest of the 18XX railway games, first edition (third printing), from 1974. This is one of the 'proto-Euros', games that anticipate elements of the German game renaissance of the 1980s despite being released years, sometimes decades earlier.

This is what the dialogue tool looks like in our Mermaid Mask Unity project. I write the script directly into these boxes, select facial expressions if it's for an examine box, as these are, and I include voice directions, since it later gets exported as a script for the voice actors

You should play this... One of the best games ever, probably. But you need to push through the first completely unintelligible hours

Funny thing... I was browsing tv late at night with some friends, many years ago, and we started watching it randomly, completely unprepared.
I have a couple of scenes burned in my mind since then

Totk is greatly superior to botw, for my tastes... So maybe just skip it and go to the second?

Why chasing twitter's approval doesn't work The opinions you believe are universal are being fed to you by an algorithm designed to show you what you want.

Today's Load-bearing Tomato addresses the age old question:

"why don't the devs just [SOCIAL MEDIA OPINION]"

It turns out, "a lot of reasons", but if you never have to test your ideas, you never have to discover why they're not any good.

I'm enjoying a lot the very late game of Zelda TOTK... Observing the map looking for mines in the underground, following rumors for secret caves... It fells like doing cool archaeology

Screenshot of the five 2025 Polaris reports, too small to comfortably read, with image previews of 2 flow charts, a sticky note collection, a game screenshot with text interface, and a geological pattern.

It's the Polaris 2025 reports! They've come! They're here! It's a bumper crop of five, count'em FIVE papers! We got comedy, we got death, we got cringe, we got trust... something for the whole team.

Hey Spotify sucks (I loved the app, but the CEO is an asshole) so I switched to Qobuz! It has a very similar app, it's a bit more pricey, but pays the artists better.
You can quit Spotify too!
