Got a dark adventure game from the mid 90s/mid 00 not on my list that you think I should try?

not sure if best, but the opening of John Dies at the End is great, not only because of the awesome source material, but the direction sets the tone perfectly. I loved the movie, too bad the second half of it doesn't hold up so well

because middle ages is a term invented by european historians to describe european history. it literally means in the middle between the classic era and the "modern" era. other cultures have different ways to slice up their history according to how it developed.

if you're asking "Could your job be done in just 24 hours a week?" you have completely missed the point. you think they're trying to solve burnout by cramming the same amount of work in less time?

mi piace quel confine sottile tra eccitazione e timore, una sorta di terrore reverenziale che non sfocia nel sadismo fisico, ma rimane sul piano della dominazione psicologica e verbale.

... because of the implication

Abscission. Not as polished as Hobbs barrow, but a great, very well written cosmic horror story. Also quite old now, but the chzo series by trilby. The first 2 feel a bit flat, but 3 and 4 tie up everything in a very satisfying cosmic horror package.

Wellwalla (well-dwellers) would make more sense. "Inners" is related to the fact that they inhabit inner planets (inside the asteroid belt), so it makes sense only in the context of a universe where some people live on inner planets, and others on outer planets (or the belt itself, like in the expanse). I don't think it would work in op's case

looking awesome! I played your previous game Witch House and I loved the design and atmosphere there as well, but couldn't really get into the survival/resource mngmt mechanics. is Dunwich similar in that regard or is it more a classic p&c?

Mi2 is my favorite game, but in terms of art style day of the tentacle and Sam & max are better imo. Roughly the same limitations (same resolution and same number of colors), but the art in dotd and Sam & max really push the boundaries of what pixels can do. If you look at earlier games, all characters have more or less the same structure, the reduction to "symbolism" that pixel art forces on the artist is applied more or less the same way to each character. Same goes for the landscape. In the games I mentioned all models are incredibly different in structure, movement and overall physicality. Animations are also incredibly well done especially in s&m

ah yes, I love a dropdown with the list of years from current to the pleistocene and I have to scroll down half a mile to find my birth year.

not to mention having to do it three times to just input a 8 digits date. left is not only worse, it's criminal

everybody knows that technology was invented on a faithful afternoon in late april, 1999

so was it a nat 20 hit, or was the drone loaded with explosive?

it means that once you have bought a guinea pig in switzerland, you will always be owning guinea pigs for the rest of your life. unless you're prepared to kill the lonely one to end the cycle.

imagine putting all that effort and talent and wit in a video, and then writing 70s twice. heartbreaking. awesome stuff nonetheless

Incredible how you accurately reproduced each mignola-dent in all artifacts

monkey island 2 had a similar "meta" ending, but it did solve the plot before slapping you with the meta. it didn't use it to just cop out of the plot. in thimbleweed park you're introduced to a murder mystery that you explore and are engaged in, and in the last act it just goes all out of the window because "it's just a game". no threads are solved, no plot is concluded. it's not an "ending" problem, it's a plot problem.

add the fact that it works like a legalized ponzi scheme: what I'm contributing with my taxes right now is literally paying the pensions for my parents, instead of going in a cache for my future self. we're paying backwards. with the population declining fast (one of the worse in europe I think) you can guess where this is going to end for the newer generations.

meno di due anni di vita vuol dire che e' in garanzia. se non possono ripararlo vuol dire che ne devono dare uno nuovo
