It’s weird to think back on it now, but I used to play these with 1-2 other friends at the same time, each looking over the players’ shoulder shouting suggestions. Both the Infocom and Sierra stuff (King’s Quest, Leisure Suit Larry when parents were away, etc). Basically improvised coop.
That Hitchhikers’ adaptation was genuinely inspired. A great complement to the novel.
For a brief shining moment, Activision released the whole catalog in a great app that even had 3D models of all the little goodies that came in boxes. It sadly never made the conversion to 64bit in 2015. 😢
This 1976 kid thinks this list is superb.
IIRC, Genesis Shadowrun was a notch better. But they were both fantastic and I was lucky to own both systems in HS for this game alone.
Deep respect for the Infocom shoutout too—especially for what was probably their most “cerebral” game.
I’d honestly like to subscribe to the Atlantic because 2/3 of their writers are great.
But there’s 1/3 that’s just like 😬
Oh yeah, he’s like CRAZY crazy. Not just performatively crazy for clicks. He’s genuinely unwell.
Remember when he actually traveled to Poland, took videotape of people moving boxes in an American base, and claimed he had proof we were joining a ground war against Russia?
Authentically stupid.
I really love that looking to see what tabs I have open in my browser is now two precise taps instead of one simple one. That’s only pissed me off a dozen times so far.
imo the threat posed by CBS News and CNN getting absorbed by pro-regime billionaires isn't that they're going to produce right-wing slop that convinces people to be right-wing, it's the dismantling of newsrooms capable of doing investigative reporting on the administration. Fewer eyes on the street.
Some US men’s players apologized; even more talked about how much they respected the USA women’s team. What they didn’t seem to realize was that if you respect them and don’t apologize for the Trump debacle, it actually makes embracing Trump worse. www.thestar.com/sports/nhl/t...
it really is astonishing; this was the first men’s hockey gold since the literal miracle on ice and they couldn’t manage six hours before they turned themselves into the dipshit brigade for 60% of the country
I know it's meant in good faith but "if we just made smaller scope games and charged 20-40 dollars for them it would fix the industry" is very funny to me. indies release like 20 of those a week on steam. are you buying them? is the industry fixed? no? hm. sounds like you need a different solution
U.S. men's hockey with Curt-Schilling-in-Boston levels of good will squandering. A 25-mile lead in the good will marathon and they tripped on their dicks right at the finish line.
I was fully prepared to boo Brock at Thursday’s game if he went.
Wrote a piece about many looking at the Epstein case all wrong: He's not the thing that connects a network of rich and powerful men; he's the lens that shows us how they were already connected.

This is what sports are all about: creating a moment in which the FBI director can finally feel like the most special boy in the world. defector.com/kash-patel-t...
We really haven’t been sending our best.

Hopefully not for much longer. Fuck that guy.
Masnick: "This is what so many of us kept pointing out throughout the 'Twitter Files' hysteria: the 'free speech' grift was never about protecting individuals from the state. It was about protecting a specific type of speaker from the social consequences of their speech."
As a former scout myself, it was heartbreaking to see that organization’s leadership invite Trump to speak to their jamboree in 2017, with predictable results.
It’s hard to imagine the same organization I was part of failing those kids that badly.
THIS. Other than updates making them available to play on modern consoles, a new coat of paint on an older game hardly seems worth it in the vast majority of cases.
Who could have ever predicted that the console wars would someday end with three sides losing. 🤷♂️
But the real problems started when the meddlesome wizard’s curse made it resistant to any flames cooler than jet fuel.
I’d love to know what kind of mountain of imagined evidence is so resistant to burn bags and the delete key that it requires deleting an entire building, but I’m guessing he hasn’t thought that far ahead yet.
I just wanna let everyone know that the reason that the DOJ under Biden didn’t always do what we wanted was because it wasn’t an arm of the White House. It is supposed to be an independent entity. I hope the next time that it is, you remember today, when Trump put his face on the building.
Yes, yes, and yes. Wishlist updated accordingly—thank you!
I loved King’s Field back in the PS1 days and had no idea it was now its own genre. Definitely checking this out.
