Back when I had almost unlimited free time, I would play the hell out of games that had practically no actual direct gameplay. Those were the days of cardboard keyboard overlays and 500 page manuals. Lots of submarine games with obscure screens, micromanagement, and weeks of time just to learn the basics. You didn't even see what was going on, you had to just read a bunch of panels, radar screens, and other types of indirect feedback to figure out if you just got torpedoed, escaped, scored a direct hit, or were still on the loading screen.

Derek's games were that x100. They appealed to me then, but I just don't have the time these days. Think about Elite: Dangerous - there's a billion little bits of underlying complexity that are almost completely invisible to most players unless you dig deep into it (talking about factions, powerplay, the real micro stuff). Now imagine you take out all the playable portions of the game and just leave that part. They're kinda like that.

I played the original from Take 2 way back in the day.

I think I figured out how to shoot and go forward, and I recall watching guys move between areas (their name switched to another station).

It was not fun, not exciting, not easy, and lacked the appearance of "learn more to really have fun!" So I didn't. Sorry about that. But I also didn't go on Usenet and go attacking anybody either. Just said "ah well that kinda is not radical." because radical was totally, like, a word people like, used in that era. Like, totally.

TheAgent gifted me the newer one, and I appear to have a steam account again, so I may try it out sometime. (My pc at home with games has been on about once in the past 3 weeks, for about an hour, do not count on my experiences with the game anytime soon)

In today's leaver news, Ali B who was the "Director of Graphics Engineering at Foundry 42" until Dec 2016, reverted the change he made to his LinkedIn and Facebook pages indicating that status.

This despite the fact that - as I verified minutes ago - that he NO LONGER WORKS THERE

Apparently the reason they're being told not to update social media, is about not getting payout bonuses or some nonsense like that.

So naturally when someone spotted it, and I posted about it yesterday after verifying (we already knew months ago that he was one of the high profile exits in Q4/16), word got around. So he reverted it.

https://twitter.com/dsmart/status/821429714325798913

Proof:

Jan 16th (before)



Jan 17th (after I broke the news)



Also, Joe Sothy, the CFO who we knew was gone months back, though his LinkedIn showed him as "consultant to CIG", also updated his LinkedIn profile to show he left in Dec 2016

So year, all the top tier guys rumored to be jumping ship, are updating their status now

It's one of the most expensive death scenes ever filmed, but it is dragging on for too long now, I feel the same way. The best week is going to be when the RSI website goes "temporarily" offline and then doesn't come back.
