The market was slow, and production was final - once an IP went out the door, you couldn't patch and re-release. You'd play the same game for years or more because there weren't 600+ titles in your Steam library. It still doesn't make Leisure Suit Larry an interactive Ulysses.

It's tempting to romanticise Ye Olde Video Games for their intellectual prowess when you ignore how much more commercial the industry became since the 90s. If you told Planescape Torment devs to introduce cosmetic DLCs or merch tie-ins, they'd probably think you're on coke.
There are Juan Guaidós everywhere for those with the eyes to see.
🇧🇷 "I address the Brazilian people and the international community as the true elected president of Brazil."
Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, who lost Sunday's presidential runoff to incumbent Lula da Silva by about 4.4 million votes, is claiming the presidency in a statement released from Miami, United States. Without offering any evidence, he calls the result "electoral fraud.”
In the statement, Bolsonaro:
➤ Blames a last-minute Supreme Court decision extending voting hours, which he says arrived "after the legal closing time." He does not mention that at 3:50 p.m. Brasília time, his Liberal Party campaign also asked the Superior Electoral Court to extend voting to 7 p.m. in 19 rain-hit cities in São Paulo, Paraná and Santa Catarina. (It also asked that results be held back until voting there ended.)
➤ Calls the Supreme Court investigations against him a "politically motivated witch hunt," saying "there is no arrest warrant against me because I have committed no crime"
➤ Says "I didn't flee Brazil, I left Brazil," comparing himself to Charles de Gaulle, José Martí and Venezuela's Juan Guaidó
➤ Thanks Trump and Argentine President Javier Milei, and vows to "lead the opposition here.” He also praises Venezuela’s María Corina Machado for having "refused to legitimize the fraud,” and calls on international community to not "normalize what is happening in Brazil”
Bolsonaro faces two Supreme Court investigations into alleged corruption and money laundering. He missed Tuesday's deadline to hand over his passports before fleeing to Miami.
Can't believe Derek Guy met Richard Dawkins in the most online way imaginable.
Clicking "Translate" on Netanyahu tweet feels like a forgotten chapter from a Tory election pamphlet.
If you don't think Andy Burnham will advance class struggle, you're possibly not understanding social democracy correctly from a Leninist viewpoint.

For decades, how many generations of coked-up white boys with dreadlocks rode through the porous border of this itinerary in a Volkswagen, while their countries were laying waste to the continent?
Monsieur, this is the post-1995, Westwood Studios game-inflected canon deviation.
Blade Runner est une métaphore de la condition humaine, écrite par Philip K. Dick.
Le personnage principal pourchasse des androïdes pour les détruire. À un moment, il est gagné par le doute lorsqu’il se rend compte qu’il est peut-être lui-même un androïde.
Ces androïdes cherchaient leur auteur pour lui demander la date de leur mort. Nous, nous cherchons aussi des choses improbables car nous sommes incapables du Carpe diem.
Avec la naissance de l’intelligence artificielle, cette œuvre est d’actualité. Nous découvrons qu’une machine peut être intelligente.
Le problème, ce n’est pas qu’un robot nous remplace. C’est de se comporter comme un robot.
The American Dream is when a pedophile can run for office and contemplate the vicissitudes of correct grooming procedure to "mold the perfect partner" whilst in England, they just post about how the body is just a collection of molecules after death, and thus fucking it is fine.
This is a callous erasure of the guy who measures film quality by how film characters don't look like their book descriptions and sets fire to an Amazon delta by AI-generating book-accurate depictions.
