The Dead Cells team definitely has the chop to make a great game, even if I feel it won’t be exactly like an Iga game. That being said, they are likely better off not letting Konami swallow them based on how they have treated their previous star developers. (I’m still pissed about how they treated Kojima).

Also thanks for reminding me about their pachinko obsession. I don’t know why it feel so bizarrely amusing to me, but it does. I just hope they can finally get SOTN ported to PC before they go full pachinko.

It was nice to see the “Dominus Collection” get released on PC at least, but I’m not sure Konami is capable of making a new and actually good -vania game without Iga.

The list is honestly bizarre and the rank placements are all over the place. Most of your later examples of that I completely agree with. I just think that the mainline FF games not being on the top 100 list of PC games is fairly understandable, and I say that as a huge fan of the series. Ironically, FF14 is quite literally the only game in the series that I haven’t played.

Regarding the FF games, I think it’s actually fine considering some of the more notable omissions. Most FF games didn’t get released anywhere near when they were relevant.

I haven’t seen anything like that on a pizza since I moved to the midwest. They do seem obsessed with pickles though.

I don’t recall Arena having many patches, but since there wasn’t a great way to distribute patches back then, they probably had no choice but to get their shit at least mostly stable before shipping.

This is the RSS reader I use and like it a lot, but no it does not have an export feature like that.

I just replaced my 3070 with a RX 7900XT and it was a very noticeable difference in performance. It doesn’t help that my primary display is 3840x1600 though. The 3070 was never particularly great for that res.

I just did this with an RX7900TX and everything worked fine and I decided to install my normal updates. And then my PC wouldn’t boot. After hours of “fun”, it turns out that the issue had nothing to do with the GPU swap and all. Tons of fun!

Minor correction: You can’t say no because they intentionally almost never give you “no” as an option. It generally is “Ask again later” instead, when you clearly never want them to ask again, just like you didn’t want to be asked the first time.

As someone that shopped at both, but preferred Circuit City, I think Best Buy initially did a better job of “wowing” customers and had a better store layout. They also were better at trying to squeeze money out of people and thus were more profitable than Circuit City, so when times got leaner they survived and then had the whole market.

Turbo Pascal was great and a big step up over what you could do with BASIC. Good luck with C++.

Man I love that old Atari art.

Isn’t that first artwork from the Atari BASIC book cover? I suffered enough with BASIC on my TI-99 and IBM XT, I can’t imagine how rough the Atari version was.

That’s actually very much my kind of font, thanks a lot. At first glace I still prefer my current font (Liberation Mono), but I’ll give it a test run and see how it feels after a couple of weeks. You can never tell right away if a font is a keeper.

I’ve used it in the past, thanks for reminding me of it though.

I remember these when they came out, and I liked Neon and Krypton the most. I’m glad you linked it so others might get to see it though, thanks!

I don’t love it, but I also went in hoping for a possible new monospaced font to try out. It’s nice to have options and maybe give Suse a slightly more distinct look I suppose.

If its my own personal code, snake case, if I am sharing with my frontend devs then camel case. If I am writing short scripts, then flat.

I’ll be honest here, the theme/vibe put me off enough that I never bothered to download the demo. I’ll give it a shot to see if it is as good as the steam reviews are making it out to be, but the devs need to consider than a couple hundred very positive reviews on a platform with many tens of millions of players doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll get financial success. It could be that the unconventional theme/graphics and novel/unfamiliar gameplay can be a tough sell.
