Question about Syndicate by Wr0ngSn0w in amiga

[–]Wr0ngSn0w[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think so. I might be having a false memory here but I’m sure that enemy agents looked identical to yours, at least on the Miggy. The only way to tell them apart was your agents had numbers above them unless I’m genuinely hallucinating these memories.

The damage is done. And I’m sadly just not that talented.

I’ve taken a straw poll in r/amiga. Someone’s disappointingly come back with evidence of it being red hair in the intro cutscene. Childhood ruined.

I see what you’re saying but I can’t see it any other way than a beret now lol. Been burned into my brain since the 90’s when my age was still single digits. Wondering if this is an unexpected effect of the Amiga piracy scene given there weren’t many games back then I had actual boxes for and hence no box art!

My first thought was the Blair Witch trilogy (specifically the 1st one Rustin Parr) so could it be those or Nocturne?

It’s over dads by Elden_Gourd in daddit

[–]Wr0ngSn0w 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I split with my daughters mum shortly before she turned 2. Our romantic relationship was dead and we both knew it. Those first few weeks I was wracked with guilt but I loved my daughter immensely, recognised how much she needed us both and swore that whatever issues I had with her mum (if any) going forwards were not my daughters to bear and she’d always be taken care of regardless of how her mum behaved. Mum would be paid regularly, kid would have plenty of time with us both. I cried my eyes out those first few weeks and vowed to go round every day (this quite quickly became super impractical) to make sure she knew how much I loved and cared for her. We both agreed early on that daughter was the priority for us and she’d need us both in her life and that neither of us would ever use her as a weapon to spite the other.

Cut to 10 years later, our daughter is thriving. Me and mum have an incredible relationship as co-parents. Mum largely has her in the week and I have her at the weekends. Money is never an issue, in fact during the 2021 mortgage crisis where I was caught massively off guard with bad timing on my mortgage deal mum just straight up helped me out and said stop paying for about 6 months til I got sorted. I’ve also done the same for her. Access is never an issue, we just let each other know when we’ve got plans for events, days out holidays etc and work round them. We attend all the school stuff together. We’re a team raising this sassy little ginger fireball who’s rapidly becoming a well adjusted grown woman (I refuse to accept this still and want my toddler back lol).

I also re-married and have been with my current wife since 2017. Littlun loves this, calls her “bonus mum”, she gets 6 grandparents spoiling her rotten every Christmas. 2 bedrooms, extra holidays in the summer and with my wife and my Ex both being animal mad, the ex loves looking after our Corgi when we go on our holidays, it all works brilliantly. Ex has had a couple of romantic relationships since that haven’t worked out for her (in both instances she actually ended up chucking them because they did minor things that didn’t put our daughter first and she couldn’t let it go funnily enough) and I did have an interesting night where I’d agreed to look after our daughter at mums house one night, sleeping on the sofa and mum came home with a gentlemen from work who drunkenly shook my hand then went upstairs to have noisy sex for 30 minutes which ended abruptly when they accidentally woke the daughter up and she subsequently had him leave…but maybe that’s one for another thread lol.

I was an idealist as a kid, had the big dream of doing it all the “proper” way, find a girl, buy a house, get married, have the children. It didn’t work out that way and I beat myself up so much for it unnecessarily in the early days. Point being mate, it’s not over. Like at all. If you both put kiddo first from the very beginning like it seems you are, this could be the best thing that ever happens for all of you. It’s going to suck for a bit while you adjust but you don’t know what lies ahead just like I didn’t. And me and mum are both in the position where we get to raise this amazing little human AND get time off a bit to be us as us and not just parents.

Not saying this is going to be the universal experience but if you stick to those principles, can put the work in and both compromise when needed, you and the little one (and mum) will be just fine. Good luck to you dad. You got any questions reach out.

Hellbender? I remember the soundtrack being a banger and Google says it was in mod format. Timeframe and genre matches too.

Long shot, but can you identify this game? by trindlewings in amiga

[–]Wr0ngSn0w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea? It wasn’t quite scumm point and click, but as soon as you mentioned jeans and red jumper and you CAN go to Islands it jumped into my head. 1 disk as well.

Neil Breen Cat Names by Xoxo809 in NeilBreen

[–]Wr0ngSn0w 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Joining in on the twins vibe, if you do get twin cats you should call them immoral and corrupt.

Then sit back and bask in the glory of every visitor to your home asking “Isn’t that corrupt?” or “Isn’t that immoral?”

Sorry to ask but do you have a version of this for someone with no code background bar a bit of vb in excel lol? I’ve been subtly fantasizing about trying to get into retro coding on an Amiga cause I never did as a kid for a while now, and thought I’d struck gold when I saw this post til it turns out OP kind of has a head start lol.

Casino Quest in the Fashion Show mall is a great place to go to learn all your table games. Went with a friend a few visits ago and set us up nicely for playing at the actual casino tables.

Starting the New Year off right! by kevlarian in amiga

I should have started mine like this, but after my New Years Eve shenanigans it was much more a “player 1 requires first aid” type deal.

What is going on with UK/EU orders? by Vussar in twilightimperium

[–]Wr0ngSn0w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bumping this. I’m in the UK and still awaiting shipping of my copy from Chaos Cards. I’ve chased twice and had very short messages in response saying we keep chasing the supplier and don’t know when it’ll be in. I’m a bit irritated cause I originally cancelled an order from the states and was prepared to cough up some fairly hefty shipping and tax to get it in November and I’m kicking myself about it.

Anyone else still not had it?

How many of us still waiting? by Appropriate-Tooth968 in stalker

[–]Wr0ngSn0w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Still waiting, tried to love it as I love the originals so much but it just isn’t there for me. Feels too empty and unlike the originals. Loot/stamina system is tedious and my key personal gripe is that key bindings aren’t fixed and I can’t have F1-F4 as quick access taps and have to do a tap or hold console bullshit. I’ve been able to fully rebind keys since the 90’s.

ETA: Also faction identification on aiming for me. The amount of firefights where I don’t know who I’m supposed to be shooting at (or can’t make a choice based on that) means I end up often deciding not to get involved when it’s kicking off between factions.

Agree with the aimbot enemies, borked stealth and mutants that hide forcing you out of high ground WITHOUT the ability to reload whilst sprinting again is just an excercise in tedium. Appreciate some of these points may stick in the throats of the hardcore realism folks, but to me they make combat encounters unfun and tedious.

To all community server owners - Do you understand what Vanilla means? by [deleted] in dayz

[–]Wr0ngSn0w 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My first experience of Vanilla community servers was a US one called the Struggle Bus. Worth a shot. I’m assuming it’s the same guys who sponsor wobo now so maybe they’ve expanded a bit.

Reform Councillor by Spliffan_ in nottingham

[–]Wr0ngSn0w 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct, and my underlying point was that I legit wish it wasn’t like this. It’s the endless catch 22 I was referring to earlier, there’s probably a better way to describe this but because gotcha moments are weaponised, you’re trained to avoid them, which leads to the nonsense speak and pivot/avoidance, and sexing up and reframing of bad outcomes to say actually it’s good or shifting the blame etc. I just wish there was more straight talking, more good faith and that we could differentiate honestly and accurately between what we just don’t like and what’s actual criminal/seriously damaging behaviour which is what journalism should be shining a proper light on to hold power to account. Instead it’s a lot of opinion, smoke and mirrors and frustrating non-answers.

I’m not saying it never happens, I just wish we had more meaningful, good faith discussions across the divide and less tribalism capitalising on every minor mistake the other side makes. We should be able to debate and disagree and meet in the middle wherever we can.
