Wait, you mean they’ll release a new NBA game next year? Just like they do every year? Amazing.

This is true, and I’m genuinely angry about that.

Yes please! It’s a brilliant game and I will happily buy an updated version.

Just tried it, with a GBA Castlevania game (of course) and it handles beautifully. If this the future of AppStore allowed emulation, I’m a fan.

I’m genuinely kind of mad that I didn’t think of this joke first.

I’m genuinely angry about how true that is.

Aspyr! I was a Mac user in an era that was 95% Windows, and Aspyr brought quality games over to our side of the pond. I remember they ported Alpha Centauri in particular, but there were lots of other ones too.

Also Bungie back in that era—they were Mac-exclusive and putting out the amazing Marathon series. I was heartbroken when I saw the trailer for the new “Marathon” game that looks nothing like the originals.

Just the novel, but yes, it is great! Is the TV series good?

I did love House of Leaves!

Well, I was just talking about Dark City in my own sub thread, and to me it’s very similar to Brazil in tone and imagery. Not sure how much of it is practical effects but given the era I’m guessing that most of it is.

I had never heard of it before, but I just looked it up and the setting sounds perfect. Thanks!

I haven’t but it sounds like I should. Thanks for the rec!

If I love “unreliable shifting cities” narratives, like Dark City, Fallen London and the City of Saints and Madmen books, what similar kinds of settings might I like?

Ostrich is delicious. I’ve eaten it in a restaurant once and cooked it myself two or three times. It tastes like a red meat, but cooks like white meat, so you have to be careful because it can overlook in a snap.

Completely agree, but I wouldn’t call Vernors a generic. It’s a competing brand.

Socks are another good answer, but there, it’s nothing but gold toe for me. They’re just so comfortable.

I buy nearly everything generic but generic Band-Aids have terrible adhesive so I always buy name brand.

Edit: Oh, and frozen pizza. I’ve had too many generics with crusts that might as well have been made of cardboard.

UwU I look just like Buddy Holly

O_o and you’re Mary Tyler Moore…

Yes, I’d love that.

Well damn. I loved the original trilogy and I have been saying for ages that I want a remake using modern game design and technology. But based on that website and trailer, I don’t think I’m getting what I wanted. Marathon had a multiplayer mode, yes, but the core was a single player story that made you feel like you were all alone in the world. This looks like not that.
