I literally cannot believe they actually finished it. I played up until the secrets of mana dungeon like a decade ago and that was all they had at the time. I had long since figured this game would never see 1.0 after so many years of them seemingly only pushing arcade mode updates, which i could care less about. Happy to FINALLY be able to play! Great couch co op pixel combat 👌👌
No wonder the youth are all aesthetic happy. They are just starved for style in general. Even every movie for the last 10 years has mostly looked the same.
I'd be pretty surprised if the Archie writers did that. I've been reading every Archie comic from the first printing, and they are pretty grounded in reality. Real musician names, real films, real actors, real fashion designers, etc. The panel this comic is from is only the 3rd time they've written a story dedicated to the "hop patch" dances between 1940 and 1950 (and that's including all 4 comics series and the 3 yearly publications being released at the time featuring Archie). That's a pretty long window with multiple artists and writers, who would have to remember the same parody of sadie hawkins. I'm more inclined to lean towards "wikipedia doesn't know everything" than the Archie writers invented it. I do have a 90 year old grandpa still surviving, maybe I'll reach out.
Edit: another example of the internet being ignorant, there is no record on the internet (that I can find) of the specific style of public washing machines that were depicted in the 1940s version of a coin-op laundromat within the comics. So either the Archie artists went to the trouble of inventing a never before seen style of a brand new technology in the era, or the internet simply has blind spots in our history.
They still do Sadie Hawkins, too! At least they did in 2007.... I'm old now, nvm lol.
That's actually why this strip stuck out to me, it reminded me of an archaic Sadie Hawkins where the gal doesn't just ask the guy she.... forcefully sews a clothing patch on him?? Lmao
It's the same thing here in Minnesota too. I just signed a lease, and they told me if I signed it quickly I could guarantee that price but the software recalculates it every month. I didn't sign it in time, and rent went up $75 for nothing. It's a 50-year-old building and hasn't been renovated recently.
Subnautica gets a 9/10. Fallout 2 and 3, if we're specifically going RPGs. NieR: Automata for action RPGs. Look at Persona for school influenced RPGs. I'd have geeked out so hard if we got even Persona-style class experiences in Hogwarts Legacy. Instead, all we get is completely contextless montage cutscenes.
About a week ago now a good friend of mine was trying to play atomic heart on his headphones on his new gaming PC to really push the limits and see what it can do. The audio was immediately bad and crackly and glitchy, and he spent over an hour trying various solutions and fighting with Google for anything that could help, since he knew the headphones were fine since he used them on his work computer.
He didn't plug the antenna into the dual wifi/bluetooth card in his new PC build. He was on ethernet, and didn't realize Bluetooth needed an antenna as well. Over an hour and all that frustration, for an antenna he threw aside that he "didn't need" 🤌
I'm playing this game right now and it's honestly a six out of 10. The only reason to launch the game at all is because of the world design which is top notch. So top notch it scores all of those six points, because the plot characters story and gameplay are all a let down otherwise. This is the type of game that will disable the controls for your magical flying broom and then tell you that you need to climb a wall. I wish it wasn't so successful so they didn't think this formula was so good, because if they made the game actually good AND a Harry Potter property, that would have really been something special. But as it is now, it's just an uninspired video game painted in a pretty coat of a popular franchise. I'm sure we'll get a sequel.
Geothermal power is the way to go in Subnautica, too.
