JASON!! Thanks.

Is this game worth playing? I like adventures but Heavy Rain was a chore.

So they fixed the DDOT?

Let’s put it this way: If in our lifetime we can simulate the intelligence of a vinegar fly as general intelligence, that would be a monumental landmark in AGI. And we’re far, far, far away from it.

As far as the iron age was from the metal alloys used in the Space Shuttle.

Talking about AGI simulating higher intelligence at the level of a dog or a cat, dear I say a pigeon or a crow is as far fetched as expecting ancient Egyptians to harness the power of the atom.

I think the open source angle is slightly incidental: They saw Apple’s and Microsoft app stores as a threat and decided using linux as the OS for their devices. That’s at least what I’ve read a long time ago.

I remember well going for a quest, seeing a cave and then falling through a rabbit hole into a death cult while being a laughably underpowered magician.

It felt closer to what I commonly experience with D&D than other games, mostly due to the combination of freedom and curated world.

That said, yes combat was dull, uninspired and probably the weakest part of the series.

The best they made, for me, was Morrowind.

While I enjoyed the rest of entries and I’m very fond of the Shivering Isles, IMO it was the originality of it, its story and art, but also the freedom it granted.

My advice would be to go back to that time and instead of massive places, just build a fun place to explore.

What’s up with the biker jacket?

Lile with Pavel Kushnir, somehow Russia is jailing and killing their brightest.

There were pretty fantastic mods for 2. There was a Star Wars-themed one and that was the first time I realized a large empire could have a civil war.

However, my favorite one was an imagined continuation of the game in a different planet.

So it’s not just me. I had all Civs since Civ II and spent probably more hours in each than in any other game. Somehow I played a bit of Civ VI and gave up.

I did wonder if I just got tired of civ games.

Then, tip your robot:

15%. 20%

25%. 35%

IMO Braid was a success of its time, when digital distribution started enabling Indie developers to reach mass audiences.

Yet I think the reason why the game reached so far was due the Humble Bundles.

While I think this was a competent game with interesting mechanics, there were better indies that I would love to play again (if extended).

They should have called it Friend Computer instead.

Yet!

He was a paperboy and a telegram messenger before college.

That doesn’t scream old money boy.

Aren’t you confusing him with someone else?

Where did you hear that?

He early joined Microsoft and probably had some stock but he left by 1996 so I hardly doubt that made him a real billionaire, (especially given the time).

Following your recommendation, would you say: if you like ____ then you will like The Outer Worlds.
