Exactly. No excuse back then, even less an excuse now

The work was already done, and the people who worked on it have already been paid. Nobody’s getting royalties here.

Plenty of GBA games had multiple languages on one cartridge. No excuse.

I’d like to add a further bit to this
Fallout Community Edition, a reverse-engineered open-source reimplementation of the original engine. There’s also a version for FO2. It specifically says Fallout Et Tu is unsupported, but there’s no real reason it shouldn’t work, so… best of both worlds!

OpenJazz is okay, but even after all these years still doesn’t quite feel right

Breaking Bad started out about that. Was the whole reason he broke bad in the first place!
- Comment on Android 11 is the "Windows 7" of Android 1 month ago:
I know it barely scratches the surface, but the Accessibility settings menu has an option to disable animations. Failing that, there are settings within Developer Options (yes, I know) to speed up or disable most animations.

- Comment on Everyone thinks the Deus Ex remaster looks awful and they're right: 'They really turned those 1999 graphics into 2003 graphics' 4 months ago:
Okay, my actual thoughts are thus: The original game looked bad. I don’t think there’s any denying that. But: at least it was consistent, and it had a style to it that it kept hold of throughout. There was a real opportunity to properly overhaul Deus Ex with the remaster, but they’ve instead settled for Xbox 360-era models, while keeping the stiff animations from the original, and throwing ridiculous amounts of harsh lighting and bloom around. It doesn’t look like Deus Ex any more. What they should’ve done is taken some cues from Human Revolution and used that to inform the design. (Hot take maybe)

Mouse look was a thing in Wolf 3D, and similar to Doom, it did the whole forward/backward bit too. Really weird.

But they’re the sort of British that yearns for the good old days, when we still had shillings and inches and diphtheria and jumpers for goalposts and no womens’ rights and all that great British stuff.

The effort that goes into adding a game to the Death Generator makes it 100% worth using, even if you can use PS.

I’ve just realised - Hammond was such a cheapskate that even the seatbelts in the helicopters didn’t work properly.
