Excellent! I might check it out!

If I haven’t played in a year or so. Will there be any painful grind barriers to get to the 1999 content?

Super Mario 64 DS had you sitting at a poker table in a casino playing poker. New Super Mario Bros had the same poker game, but I’m not sure if that one was in a casino. PEGI rated both of them 3+.

Super Mario 64 DS and New Super Mario Bros both include poker. PEGI rated them 3+.

Looks like draw-order to me. One is rendering overlapping decals front-to-back, the other back-to-front.

They are small cylinders, so without gloves lots of half prints will be left. Fingerprints are so similar that that is unlikely to be usable to find the loader without a ton of effort. It is very useful to tie a suspect to the weapon after they have been found through other means, however.

A smart criminal should always wear gloves when interacting with anything that may be collected as evidence.

Microsoft now installs games in an unprotected directory because people were so annoyed they couldn’t use the mods made for other storefronts.

Probably just that they have a business license. It’s somebody the gov’t can find to verify if needed since the company has to keep employee records.

Part of the issue is that modern games are usually getting fixes right up to release. Pre-release reviews tend to focus on things that aren’t likely to ever change significantly, like design and writing.

It would be nice if they gave a summary of issues they saw with a disclaimer that they may get fixed instead of omitting that information entirely.

Excel functions are translated. This leads to being pretty much locked out of any support beyond documentation if your system language isn’t English.

If you haven’t, check out Combined Arms. It is an OpenRA mod that brings in a lot of units and design from RA2, Generals, and C&C3.

The dev stated that it mostly exists for more performance-limited applications like mobile.

Kerbal Space Program 2

Similarly, VLC names their releases after Discworld characters. It’s a fun way to make major versions feel like more than just a number increment.

It gets called that everywhere. Most people never need to know the actual specs for a screw, so language diverges from the classification system.

I usually keep the corrections to myself, but when somebody else is already correcting someone and they say the wrong thing too it becomes hard.

Flathead is a description of the head profile, like panhead. Slotted is the screwdriver type that is just a single slot.

I’ve been playing Gamedle recently. I tend to discover interesting games both as answers and while researching the info I have.

More biomes don’t fix the fundamental flaw in the design. It treats planets the same way Raft treats islands. They become purely a resource hunt for the player, no matter what skin they have.

Raft gets away with it by having your base travel with you, being incredibly hostile, and being short enough that the loop doesn’t get tiring.

NMS and Starbound struggle from the same issues. Infinite tiered worlds end up feeling the same, but also remove all meaning from the exploration. In Minecraft or Terraria you aren’t going to be flying to a totally new place in five minutes, so you want to get to know your surroundings and put down some roots.

Travel time and not having tiered world progression makes the player care about where they are at instead of seeing it as a stepping stone.

People still sculpt. Go look up Bobby Fingers on YouTube to get an idea of what sculpting looks like.

There are a variety of clays. From what I hear, most sculptors use some form of air-dry, not firing clay like pottery would use.

Nobody ever sculpted in marble. You would sculpt in clay, make a plaster mold, fine-tune the design, then meticulously transfer it to marble.
