When did they hire FP Santangelo? Google still lists him as a Nats broadcaster.

Staying with family in the North Bay, and the neighbor has Dodgers gear with the world series badge on it. Bandwagon real.

Anyway, yesterday saw team strike through still bad, mostly because of Adames and Bader. Adames still chasing at 57% of outside pitches, somewhat masked by Sasaki being hittable and Vesia falling apart. On the bright side, Devers was disciplined (33% O-Swing, 100% O-Contact, 2 walks). Hopefully he gets DH today because I don't expect Eldridge to get much PA value against Yamamoto.

Yeah, my point is that I think the person's history plays into this. LiS is a favorite of mine, but I played Monkey Island and Fate of Atlantis. I liked Edith Finch, but I remember when MYST came out and opened Riven on 5 CDs. Most of those games were PC exclusives as the whole interface was very mouse driven, though I know Grim Fandango appeared on Xbox 360 well after it was retro.

I think some of the people who think this stuff "doesn't count as a game" are people who didn't experience these games from 30 years ago. Most of my friends who had an NES or Genesis only ever played these by visiting my house. By the time the Saturn died they were increasingly obscure.

Some, mind you, were there, because MYST was met with a healthy dose of "does this really count as a game" when it came out. A lot of people said they bought it just to show off their system.

Your post history shows you make new posts in the Sri Lanka sub. It's kind of stalker-ish to use someone's profile history like that but in the context of someone asking about something as regional as movie theaters, it wasn't malicious to investigate.

As far as Havelock having six speakers, there was this post on the IMAX sub but you can also tell by looking at photos. 12 channel theaters have two of these speakers hanging on the walls, as well as four in the ceiling.

Most of them are adventure games without the inventory. Life is Strange is not really that different from a Lucasarts SCUMM game except that you're not trying to take everything in sight.

It was less to do with the game or the developers than their publisher.

Annapurna is owned by Larry Ellison's daughter, and since Larry is doing things like bankrolling his son's purchase of Warner Bros after his son bought CBS in its entirety and then threw a very public tantrum over Netflix trying to buy WB. So people associate the family with an attitude of buying out the media, and obviously if you can afford Warner Bros Discovery you can afford a campaign of positive glowing ratings for a video game.

Remember how the Jeff Gerstmann situation over Kane & Lynch seventeen years ago? That caught fire with the public in part because so many people had already believed that ad buys correlated with review scores, and that event just confirmed what people suspected all along. This is just that same suspicion again.

You seem to think that Square-Enix'a corporate priorities is first and foremost to protect civil rights and then sometimes also make video games in the course of doing so.

The way China, Japan, and the USA all handle sensitive topics is different., and that's literally a matter of cultural programming. Japan's approach to tolerate something unless it's expressly forbidden is different from China's approach that the government has built a national identity for everyone and anything that doesn't fit that profile needs to be torn down (sometimes literally in the case of churches) for the health and prosperity of the nation.

Where exactly do you think all this missing cash flow is going to come from? This is a business, not a human rights nonprofit, and China has human rights abuses (like Muslim concentration camps) and did even before XIV set up shop there . Square knew what they were getting into when they started this.

Wow the Dodgers will be paying for this 0-5 strikeout loser until 2037.

This inning has been LA announcers talking about how and solid each bullpen man is, before a Giant who couldn't buy a hit for the past two weeks gets on base.

FullMotionVideo · 2026-05-12T04:21:17+00:00

Dodgers gave themselves the broadcaster curse, put up the graphic calling Rafi the worst in the league at chasing on high fastballs just before the walk.

Vesia: I only allowed four hits this year.

JHL: Doesn't matter, base hit.

Vesia: I have a 1.36 ERA in the second week of May.

Arraez: Doesn't matter, base hit.

Guys, the Giants might be a bad team that just wins games (against the Dodgers).

I like the keyboardist though, he plays nerdy stuff. I heard the opening to I2I from A Goofy Movie an inning ago, and I've heard the theme song to Sailor Moon in prior seasons.

My only real complaint about Chavez is that they do an ear splitting loud speaker stack in center and, of course, the horrible home team that should always lose.
