- Comment on "System Shock and Deus Ex, they were RPGs. People called them RPGs": Gloomwood's publisher isn't too keen on using the term immersive sim despite it being one 2 weeks ago:
I seem to recall using the term “FPS with RPG elements” for those in their day.
- Comment on it's obviously a thingamajig 4 weeks ago:
Fun fact: While these are from the Roman period, they’ve mostly been found in what were then the provinces of Brittania and Gaul, and none have ever been found in Italy. Which tends to suggest that they’re Celtic or Romano-Celtic rather than Roman.
- Comment on Ikea created a mod for Skyrim. Kallax Storageborn! 1 month ago:
I once sat through an extended ad for some piece of audio equipment because it was presented by Matt Berry and Jemaine Clement and I thought it was a deadpan comedy sketch that just hadn’t got to the punchline yet.
- Comment on How the Hell Did an Island Suddenly Appear, Then Vanish? 2 months ago:
That book drew on a different ephemeral island.
- Comment on What was the Windows 3.0/1 graphical alternative that also ran on DOS? 8 months ago:
The first computer my dad bought, back in the late '80s, was mostly a DOS machine that also came with a mouse-driven GUI called GEM.
I don’t know if it ran on top of DOS, though. It booted directly from its own set of disks.
- Comment on PC gaming fan Steven Spielberg says he "can't do controllers," prefers keyboard and mouse 2 years ago:
Then you get things like GTA or Saints Row, where whether I want to be using kb+m or controller changes based on whether I’m driving or on foot.
I’ve long thought that the ideal control scheme would somehow incorporate both a mouse for camera control, the sheer number of buttons you get from having your off-hand on a keyboard, and also analog inputs for things like movement/steering and vehicle throttle.
