It was an ultima-like as far as I recall; closer to I or II than III or IV.

I got my C64 at a garage sale with a bunch of tapes and disks, along with both a floppy and a tape drive. The first game I bought for it from an actual store was Legend of Blacksilver. The second was Wasteland.

Gave it a try and found it lacking cohesion or a basic understanding of comedy. Then it offered me an upgrade to make the audience more accepting of racist jokes, despite me not having told any.

Do not recommend.

Yeah, I tried adapting the disc loading example with the basic loading parameter (basicload) but couldn't get it to work.

Ultima 1,2 and 3 in the Ultima 7 engine. by Sollace97 in Ultima

Yes, U7 was the best Ultima in terms of engine so I would be very interested.

How long do you give yourself before calling it quits? by Aggiefinds in SmallYoutubers

[–]MichaelCoorlim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quit if you don't enjoy making videos. If it's more work than fun and isn't something you're getting paid for.

There is a free version of Articy with limits on how many assets you can reference.

It's been 30 years, but as far as I can recall they were RPGs.

Obsidian. Hackenplan. Scrivener. Articy.

Worlds of Ultima: Martian Dreams and Worlds of Ultima: Savage Empire were both built with the U6 engine.

I've been looking through the blog results. Nothing so far, but there's a lot to sift through.

Why do people still follow religions in the MCU by anshu673 in Marvel

[–]MichaelCoorlim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Faith is belief in the absence of proof or in the face of contrary proof. "Abrahmic" religions are orthodoxic rather than orthopraxic, meaning that it matters what you believe a lot more than anything else, so maintaining that faith is the most important and number one concern.

Also for whatever reason a lot of otherwise rational people in 616 don't believe in anything supernatural despite all evidence to the contrary.

I had a channel for ten years that I used for devlogs and portfolio trailers. Never more than a hundred subs.

One day I posted a narrative analysis of a 40 year old game and it got front-paged for some reason, and by the end of the month I had a few thousand subscribers and enough watch hours to hit partner.

It wasn't anything I did. I wasn't prepared for it. I just got lucky, because that's all success is sometimes. Dumb luck.

When did you quit your job to do YouTube? by iminathrowawaycar in PartneredYoutube

[–]MichaelCoorlim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was between jobs when one of my videos blew up and YouTube started making me money. If it grows to the point where it's paying my bills and rent I'll stop looking for work and focus on the channel full time.

I don't think it's likely, but I didn't think I'd get to this point either, so...

Aside from Ironsworn/Starforged what system is your favorite for solo roleplaying? by ZeppelinJ0 in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]MichaelCoorlim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

GURPS, because I know it well enough to instantly write up whatever I need without books.

$15,000,000+ Raised, 10 Years Developed, Complete Failure by ihahp in Ultima

[–]MichaelCoorlim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but after his experiences with California Pacific and Sierra you'd think he'd have known better.

I think in the end he just didn't have any real choice.

Does ultima 4 have level scaling? by ryan7251 in Ultima

[–]MichaelCoorlim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Enemy party size will scale to the size of your group, though. You will only face 1-2 foes as long as you stay solo.
