I really like this one, although I admittedly didn't do any replays: I actually managed to get a somewhat hopeful ending on my first run and am too afraid to screw everything up beyond repair if I try to do things differently.

The environments and artwork overall are gorgeous and really suck you in. I wasn't expecting too much from the plot but it actually managed to surprise me a few times and didn't make me feel like I'd been cheated; certainly not a traditional detective story. It does have a share of bland voice acting which I'm going to blame on the writing being a bit stilted and unnatural in spots, though not enough to detract from the overall experience in my opinion.

I collect CDs, which I see as a sort of compromise between efficiency and the desire for tangible material possessions. I still enjoy having my music around as physical objects, but CDs are overall the cheaper, more durable and more space-friendly option, and it's a lot easier to extract data from them if I want to. I'm sure I'll eventually cave in and buy some vinyl once I'm no longer able to control my urge to acquire obscure avant-garde jazz releases from the 70s and 80s that have never been re-released on CD, but for the moment there's still a wealth of weird music on CD to sate my hunger.

That's not a defense, that's just downplaying the issue. You can't seriously think that it'll just be people over 65 who will want to avoid polling places for fear of infection. I see you still haven't actually watched the video Kerdios posted which pointed out that two-thirds of voters who plan to show up at the voting booth are Trump voters while nearly three quarters of mail voters plan to vote for Biden, and you also didn't read the part where I said that the president merely being willing and able to sabotage the election process in order to improve his own chances is disgusting and disconcerting in and of itself. Whether it will be effective or not is irrelevant right now; this should not be acceptable.

You're doing a lot of beating around the bush just to avoid admitting that you don't really have a defense for the administration's kneecapping of the postal service, a transparent act of sabotage in order to influence the election in favour of the incumbent president. Who's to say it'll stop here if people don't take a stand against it? Whether or not this specific measure will end up being a crucial factor in Trump "stealing" the election is impossible to say right now, but you are not being honest if you wave this off as nothing significant.

I can sort of hear a distant similarity to Ross's voice, but this guy is annoying. The tension in his voice doesn't rise and fall naturally at all, instead he just yells the whole time like his house is on fire. I could listen to Ross ramble for hours, but I had to turn this video off after 10 minutes because I was getting exhausted.
-
Certainly not the next Cave Story (then again, I guess that might be a plus for Ross as it's not as cutesy as that game) but a decent platformer nonetheless. I gave up on it cause I kept getting stuck at a rather cheap boss battle, though I'll probably give it another shot some day.

I really enjoyed almost every bit of this game: the puzzles didn't feel too cryptic but also weren't so simple as to be pointless, and the artwork is truly amazing and ornate (I suppose the artstyle itself isn't too original; lots of Beksinski homages, but then again I suppose that's the ticket and it's very competently done). I do however feel like they could have maybe done more to flesh out the story and the world, and the endings feel a bit abrupt and rushed too. Great experience overall, pity that it's so short.

Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of Deus Ex, and to celebrate the occasion Alexander Brandon and Michiel van den Bos have put out an album containing heavily reworked and recreated versions of 17 tracks from the game's original soundtrack (available digitally as well as on CD and vinyl for the real fanatics out there) https://alexanderbrandon.bandcamp.com/album/conspiravision-deus-ex-remixed

A huge disappointment. The visuals look really crude, and even though you can apparently beat this game in an hour and a half, it feels way too long for the amount of substance it actually has. The environments are extremely repetitive and it feels like there's only the bare minimum of a story. Not recommended.

Does Ross live in Poland? Or I don't understand something.
Mira replied to potty_admiral_bop's topic in Free-For-All
He lives in Poland the country; He moved there in order to live with his then-girlfriend (whom he has since married) who is Polish, although he has mentioned that living expenses in the USA are too high for him to move back there even if he wanted to.
