Obligatory:

Oh boy could I tell you A STORY about someone who went full stupid over a bunch of knockoff Ghostbusters toys!

Tiberium? Sweet!

Better than "Doom Clone".

(BTW, congratulations on being one of the day's Lucky Ten Thousand 😁)

And it's a simple, *logical* language to boot, which IMO is one of its best aspects!

A picture of Ron Cobb's design document for the Semiotic Standard symbols used in the 1979 film "Alien".

I wouldn't say it's an argument, per se, more a discussion of similarities and differences.

(Speaking of which - apparently Cobb's "hazard" symbol is less a checkerboard and more a stylized X made of overlapping red squares, at least from what I've found so far.)

Brah.

So, fun fact: that's not actually the Purina logo.

AIUI, it's actually derived from the Semiotic Standard symbols that Ron Cobb designed for the movie ALIEN; that one was used as a generic "warning, hazard present" sign (e.g., "if you're not careful, this door might crush your arm/hand/etc.")

I'm familiar with Day-Glo, and while I'm not sure where the "Frutiger" in Frutiger Aero comes from, the Aero aspect, I believe, comes from the aesthetics inherent in things like Windows Vista's "Aero" theme:

A screenshot of a Twitter post by the Los Angeles-based news outlet KTLA, about a dolphin that caught "huge air" off the coast of Hawaii, with accompaning picture of the incident in question.

No word yet on whether the dolphin was attempting to do a double backwards somersault through a hoop while whistling "The Star-Spangled Banner"...

I didn't discover the original myself until a few years ago, but I've thoroughly enjoyed both that and this remaster.

(Then again, having grown up on other games from Apogee and their 90's-era contemporaries, I maaaaay be a little bit biased... 😜)

1) "We don't get ad revenue from archived pages."
2) "We can't hide post-publication edits if copies exist elsewhere."
3) "We can't pretend we never published an article if copies exist elsewhere."
4) "We can't charge people to access *our* archives if there are other archives available."

Their public excuse is probably something along the lines of "we can't control what happens with archived versions of our site, so we're going to block all scrapers so that AI companies can't slurp up our stuff."

The *real* reason is probably some combination of the following:

If you like classic run-and-gun action platformers, BioMenace Remastered is a very good option!

I prefer this form of frogging, myself.

Hit him with the Frog of Shame!

Radical, tubular, wicked?

Tomes and Talismans!

Yup, I remember David Gerrold writing about that story in his book about "The Trouble with Tribbles"; IIRC, the precise phrase he used in his retelling was "Wagon Train to the stars".

Wynton Marsalis - Hot House Flowers

Unfortunately, that's not always the case for a number of reasons (incompatibility, delisting, region limitations of various kinds, etc).

It wouldn't be such a big deal if things were different, but.

Games being remade isn't necessarily a bad thing, no...

...but there have been more than a few that were so poorly done that the originals looked like Louvre-quality masterpieces by comparison.

And, well, the old adage "once bitten, twice shy" comes to mind here.

Alas.
