The music is one of the best things about this series. It’s full of addictive little dittys throughout the game.

Anyone here watched the animated film. It was one of the very few decent game adaptations. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1488591/

Seriously, after the first film this is as far from what you’d expect, and want from a sequel.

I’ll definitely pass on this as well.

Good point, I wondered why all the skeletons, but some sort of trap or curse on the gold makes sense.

I didn’t know this was a remake. Never heard of the original. I played Age of Empires 1 & 2. But not this.

How does it compare to AofE then? I might have to give it a try if it’s a simpler game, I don’t have time for complexity now a days.

Big fan of Star Blazers. I did eventually watch that years later, but my first anime exposure was via a VHS bought from a charity shop of a series called ThunderSub.

Very similar to Star Blazers, don’t know if they were related in any way.

Great, we should see many more companies accepting back everything they sell as recycling. It should be the norm.

Exactly, I was the same. This is the News that Twitter was good for, the live events.

I’d always check Twitter for the initial on the scene explanation of what was happening from local people. In my case it was a massive warehouse fire that I could see the smoke in the distance. Obviously there was nothing about it on the traditional news sites, but loads of stuff from local people on Twitter immediately.

Then afterwards you’d just read the proper News outlets for the full official details after the fact.

If you want to really know how much try this. https://thebigplasticcount.com/

Tracking what you use will go towards data that can be used to pressure companies and government to try to change their ways.

This really grinds my gears!

One of the things they do that really drives me nuts is when they dig up a junction with road markings, when they tarmac over the bit they dug up they then repaint the white lines, but ONLY on the tiny strip they dug up, leaving the rest of the old faded lines with just one patch of bright white paint on it. Looks ridiculous. Seriously they can’t repaint the entire line!?

All Social Media = Plastic and Fake.

Great, Mastodon is really starting to be able to replace much more of Twitter now. The only thing i miss from Twitter was the local accounts I followed for info, will be a while before they all abandon and move over, but hopefully in the end.

I had to stop playing long single player games because of time constraints. Having a full time job and family means little.time remains for free time and that free time is not consistent. So if I do try to start a big new game the next time I find time to go back to it I will have forgotten where the story was, what the controls were and very quickly give up on it and go back to quick pick up and play games.

This is great. It’s so good to have this game maintained by the community. I played this game so much as a kid and have returned to it many times since. I think I’m due another go! 😈

Glad it’s getting overwhelmingly positive reviews, it’s been so long since we’ve had a good 2D Mario game.

Nice to see something impressive done with a ping pong ball on the internet that isn’t NSFW.

That machine is impressive though. If it’s a preprogrammed sequence that’s great, but if it’s got sensors to monitor and adapt on the fly its even more impressive.

Yeah in most places I’ve shopped they don’t even have staff covering the self checkouts so they obviously don’t care that much.

It makes sense. It may suprise a lot of people on here but their biggest market is not the people who demand 4k 60FPS in all games and will riot if they don’t get it. Their main market is kids playing FIFA and Minecraft and other casual gamers who just enjoy fun games at a reasonable budget. For that they really got it right with the Series S.

Close enough is fine with me, especially on a smaller screen. Imagine if it was like what we have with the Xbox Series S. It can play all the latest games just scaled down a little graphics wise, but not enough that most people would even notice the difference.

Very tempted by this. Now that phone technology has plateaued I no longer see the need to get the latest flagship every few years. Sustainability is now much more important factor.
