I too need the option of using position to win fights. I went from being slightly above average in games like ET, Wolf, TF2, to getting murdered by kids in console CoD:MW (1st one). The twitch fights in maps that were full of swiss cheese routes were rough.
That reminds me, I need to finally look for the off switch on those achievements
Wow that is soooo relevant.
Saw it on VHS in the early 90s- instantly rated it a 9+.
I agree that 80s critics lacked the capacity for appreciation.

Roger Ebert at least is willing to engage the premise on its own terms(although overanalyzed the staging of character actions):

No one should need to care wtf “legendary” should mean when applied to a fucking insect after playing the game for 80 fucking hours.
Empathy for the player experience is Design 101.
Nerd game designers decide that the spreadsheet math decides that I die.
…
If you have that deficit of empathy for the player experience, then you’re failing at the design.
…
Thats a failure.
Okay.

I die after ONE hit.
I go to pawn shops where everything is marked beforehand- even online.
I lived large, ate liver wrapped in bacon.
Yeah I read the book and it was entertaining, the film direction was focused on The Shining nostalgia, which sapped the strength of the core story.
“Dental cartilage” seems like the stuff of nightmares.
The Alla Prima thing is why I was terrible at watercolor. I had great respect for those artists, but I needed time to noodle.
Oh damn, I did not know that about the drying effect. I just remembered I went to school with artists who admired Leyendecker, and they found gouache was a good medium to emulate that work.
Oh Nanaimos are great
Preemptively I wanna say I love Alpha Flight, even though I know it was created by Americans.
One of my most anticipated games this year. Congratulations!
JSRF is one of my great regrets for missing. I was very much engrossed in survival horror back then, so Eternal Darkness. Agree on Clock Tower, was not intuitive.
How do you play JSRF now? Is it hardware only?
When Star Trek and Kawaii collide

I regret not trying to gouache. It has some of the impact of oils without the mess.
Wake me up when they figure out knees
I thought the original was a retro aesthetic, no?
Holy shit

I was really impressed he saw the combined possibilities of Night of the Living Dead and The Warriors. ❤️
There’s always a sliver of people in every age that romanticizes things from before they were born- and I love them for it.
Youtube I closed that video because I didn't want to watch it, not because i was hoping to see a smaller version of it still playing in the corner of my screen.
If you told me everything google did was designed around how to piss me off, I would believe it.
I can see now that the WB studio closures earlier this year were an effort to streamline the company by clueless management to potentially sell to an equally clueless buyer.
We were pitching a hell of an awesome game 3 years ago, I can’t imagine Netflix taking any risks WB themselves wouldn’t take.
