I really wish they would release a new Steam Controller with the Deck’s inputs.

The ‘printer of fire’ error used to be a legitimate and important concern. Ye olde printers really could light their paper on fire under certain circumstances and they would typically be huge devices in dedicated rooms rather than something right next to your system. Letting people know to check on it when specific things went wrong probably saved a few buildings from burning down with people in them.
If there is a commercial failure of an IP, there is a good chance that its failure will be seen as the IP generally failing or falling out of poluarity instead of the failure to best utilize the IP that likely occurred.
For example, when EA released Tiberian Twilight and it was absolutely awful and didn’t sell, they said that people just didn’t want RTS games anymore and shelved the entire C&C franchise. That was fourteen years ago and we haven’t had a new C&C since then that wasn’t mobile shovelware.
I used a Steam Controller for the N64 stuff. The right pad worked great for the C buttons.
I had one of those. Loved it, but the sticks didn’t last long enough to justify buying another.
That was a problem I actually had when I had no budget, was buying old parts, and then running them way longer than they were intended. I kept everything clean, the tower wasn’t on the carpet, and there were no smokers or pets shedding fur, but that PSU eventually started outputting significantly lower than it was rated for. The previous owner could have done something to it, or it could have been a crappy model to begin with, but it was about fifteen years old and I was told by several more veteran computer folks that PSUs would drop off in power output eventually and this wasn’t surprising.
Yep. The max wattage on a PSU goes down over time, so you want to overshoot somewhat to keep it useful for longer. Power requirements also typically go up over time with new hardware, but I think that’s been slowing down.
The closest Microcenter to me is about a fourteen hour drive, so, no. Unfortunately, the closest equivalent in the Pacific Northwest went under several years ago and nobody has picked up the slack.
I primarily remember Lichtenstein because of A Knight’s Tale.
Not really an English thing so much as a math thing that makes too much sense to not use elsewhere. For instance, in math you might have x[3 - 7{3y + (a * b)}]. I haven’t actually seen them go deeper than three sets, though, so I’m not sure what would be next.
Or he could have used brackets.
There’s a popular urban legend that Square was on the verge of going under and expected the game to be their last, hence the title, but in reality what happened was that the creator wanted the game to initialize as FF and his first choice, Fighting Fantasy, was already taken. He was planning on retiring after the game was published, though, so he eventually settled on Final Fantasy. Still didn’t work out, though, because he directed 1-5 and then contributed to 6-10.
Actually introduced in Ripto’s Rage. The Reignited version backported them to the first game, though.
Might just be because I’m just starting out, but Spider-Man’s combat is much more punishing for me. Could just be the higher emphasis on using specific combos on certain enemies, which I have some difficulty keeping straight.
They also said popularized, though. System Shock never really got beyond cult classic status, so while it invented them, I’d say BioShock popularized them.
They’re cool, but the runabout is where it’s at. It’s basically a warp-capable RV. And the Danube-class has a torpedo launcher to clear up trafic jams.
The base campaign is kind of awful. It really just existed to demonstrate what you could do with the tool set. The expansions, Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark, are much better written with more interesting characters. None of the three campaigns hold up to modern game writing standards and all are pretty heavy on dungeon crawling. The deciding factor is probably going to be how much you like the D&D 3.0 rule set.
Obsidian’s sequel is based on D&D 3.5 and the core campaign has writing roughly on par with the first game’s expansions, with the quirk that it’s Obsidian doing high fantasy straight rather than their usual deconstructions. NWN2’s Mask of the Betrayer expansion is easily the best written thing out of either NWN game and is genuinely pretty great. NWN2 has some pretty terrible optimization, though, and runs rough on even high end modern systems.
I’m betting on parfait.
His comics counterpart didn’t even have good intentions of any kind. He just wanted to sleep with Death and thought that being the biggest mass murderer in history would be a turn on for her.
Also, depending on your definition of ‘old,’ that laugh track might be a live studio audience rather than canned laughter.
