You can always go wrongliester!

I hear homing pigeons are pretty good at location lookup. Maybe that old IP-over-pigeon RFC is worth a second look?

Isn’t Shelob a spawn of Ungoliant, the closest thing Tolkein’s legendarium had to a Lovecraftian Elder God?

Miyazaki’s foot fetish couldn’t be contained. He needed a sexy lady with eight legs to satisfy him.

And you have to smack his hand until he stops discharging, even.

I get it. Anime noises killed my interest in the Final Fantasy 7 remakes.

Oh, definitely. Warframe’s movement mechanics are second to none and the combat is sublime, albeit unbalanced as hell (though in the player’s favor at least). It went from a good game to one of the all-time greats once they added the narrative alongside handcrafted missions.

I think another cause of early Warframe burnout is needing to unlock the starchart. Its mostly linear design forces you to play several of each mission type to progress, including ones the majority of the playerbase hates. And before we got open world hubs like Cetus and Orb Vallis with activities like spear fishing, hunting and racing, there wasn’t much you could do to unwind within the game when you got bored of missions.

I think the main reason The Second Dream hit so hard was because the game was so flat and plotless up until that point. Like, it’s a great story and all, but the “twist” would have been guessed within moments of starting it if players expected there to be any plot beyond the scraps of lore they’d been given thus far.

Though kudos to the devs for making that flatness part of the plot, as you’re basically just a machine going through the motions until you “awaken”. Still sucks from a gameplay perspective, of course.

This reminds me of a story someone posted about learning Japanese while playing the Yakuza games, only to be told by a native speaker that while their pronunciation was great, they spoke like a thug/delinquent.

It makes me wonder if any foreign speakers learned English from Mafia movies and speak with a stereotypical mob accent as a result.

Sounds you don’t want to hear coming from her bedroom.

Have you tried disabling Shatner Mode in the settings?

Could also be Aperture Science tech, given how their turrets behave.

Technology Connections just released a video a few days ago with a partial focus on these and tracking down issues yourself.

MediaStore recreating the standard Android library folder layout on my SD card no matter how many times I deleted them was infuriating.
