I remember hearing about this shift of theirs way back in the early Windows 10 days and thinking, “That sounds like suicidal stupidity but maybe there’s something I don’t know?”

Nope. It’s exactly as I thought.

Santorini. It was just an ambition project that got a little out of hand. I also made a self-contained version that has its own fold-out case.

Mine only accommodates 1 game.

Yes, in the UK you have to say “bap tide”

Right. I’m not saying anything like “Steam must allow all content because free speech” - I’m just saying if someone is trying to make a game with complex or even weird themes, Valve should at least participate in a conversation instead of dealing out irrevocable absolute judgments based on content that isn’t even finished.

I think I read a different article because there are some key factors here:

1. (not super important but overlooked here) The “horse” is a woman
2. (definitely important) The scene was only an unfinished scene still being worked out
3. Valve has given no recourse or appeals process despite good faith efforts

I’m not trying to trash Valve, and FUCK child abuse, but I definitely think Valve should have handled this more fairly. Given the established premise of the game, I don’t think the existence of that scene in an unfinished state was a move consistent with “hey let’s make a pedo game”.

Ehhhh they’ll pass but I’d have used orange.

It’s demeaning to an entire population. Pretty much the definition of a slur.

Censor a swear word but leave in the slur? Feels like right-wing humor.

I’ll have to try that sometime.

Please overlay the map of this theory’s spread with the spread of measles.

I’ll guess Metal Gear Solid but there are plenty of other bangers in the PS1 library.

That one was a delightful surprise. I enjoyed it thoroughly because I’ve always liked digital pinball as well.

I’ll admit that 100%ing (or rather “100%”ing it - iykyk) it can get pretty tiresome, but I actually found that the backtracking wasn’t too bad because the castle map was so good. For some reason I was able to remember a lot of routes in it, but I couldn’t find my way through the later games for the life of me without checking the map screen every five seconds.

There really isn’t a remaster, just ports. There’s very little to improve.

I think there may have been some voice re-recordings here or there, but otherwise most versions are pretty much the same. I think the Xbox 360 Live Arcade version is missing some unimportant FMVs and some other minor details, but it’s still completely decent.

It was a secret unlockable in the PSP game Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles with an added character and other stuff, but then you have to deal with the PSP emulation or whatever.

I’d suggest either emulating the original or getting it as a PSOne Classic on PlayStation Store unless some other route is more convenient.

Absolutely yes. It’s timelessly good. I played a bunch of the post-SotN Castlevanias on GBA and such and even with the more advanced systems and everything, none of them hit the same. It’s insane how well they nailed it on their first go.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. The game so good it created the term “Metroidvania” even though the formula was basically “Metroid”.

To each their own, but floor() sacrifices precision and we’re deep into Nerdville here.

3.14.2. Do you even math?

Or, as mentioned already, 3.14.16 or 3.14.159, etc.

You must be about a million years old because that’s how long this picture’s been on the internet.

I don’t mind a nostalgic meme but this whole “caption it like I did it” thing is just annoying.
