I believe it's been fixed for the next version of Lemmy. But for now, small ampersand (U+FE60) works as a substitute: ﹠

The same general idea, with better wording. Not really sure what OP was trying to add. In my experience critics aren't demanding hyperrealism, and are the first to praise unique art styles.

Monster Hunter World

Yes, 2023 taxes being filed in the "2024 filing season" as the IRS calls it.

Now streaming.

I'm so happy someone other than me remembers Radar Mission. I too still get the music stuck in my head from time to time.

Ever heard of Spiderweb Software? They've been putting out lo-fi old-school cRPGs for nearly 30 years now. Take a look at Avernum: Escape from the Pit (a remake of their first game, Exile) and see if that scratches the same itch.

Spacewave? It tends to be more slow paced and synth-heavy, and really evokes the feeling of giant planets and stars. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RlxClUifEw&t=1800 (at the 30 minute mark, though the very first song works too)

And what dog do they keep for companionship?

A melancholy.

I'm relieved to know I'm not the only one who got that mixed up. I had to rewatch the bridge scene to understand they were tracking the ship, and not some psychic outbreak of heightened emotions.

Also, I just now looked ahead. Is the next title really a Garth Marenghi reference? Because that's amazing.

Records are spotty, but indicate it results from a lack of "updog".

Corporate Memphis. I too hate how it's taken over.

You can save and quit in Zelda, it just takes 2 controllers. You had to pause with controller 1 then hit Up+A on controller 2.

That it's not immediately blasting every ship it comes near. It was either oblivious to the Orions' presence or ignoring them outright, until they were foolish enough to threaten it.

Aw, not Beamdog. :( They made all those enhanced editions classic D&D games like Baldur's Gate 1 + 2 and Planescape Torment. I didn't realize they were under Aspyr, which has had serious issues itself lately, not to mention the ongoing money issues at Embracer. We're going to hear a bunch more stories like this over the next year, aren't we.

I still haven't paid to remove ads, and no Adguard, yet I've never had a single ad show up. I wonder if there's a bug.

Oh neat. I'm glad it got updated to remove the Flash element. Breaking that site was the real tragedy of Flash's shutdown.

html5zombo.com is better for modern browsers, now that Flash is dead.

It's when there's a disconnect between the storytelling and the gameplay. Usual example is Uncharted or the last Tomb Raider reboot: the main character wrings their hands over the possibility of having to kill a person, but the gameplay is you mowing down an army.
