In Rise I also think Volvidon is pretty cute, especially because you can knock him on his silly armadillo rear end and he just kinda rocks around looking goofy

Does anyone know anything about Android .apk modification?

There's a homebrew version of Max Payne for the Vita that uses the Android data files. Some Russian modders went further and added in some features from the PC Anniversary Edition but everything is in Russian. I already know to rename and replace the original .msf file to fix the subtitled voice acting back to English. Butt which file(s) do I need to replace to put the menus and tooltips back to English? Or is that more involved than a simple find/replace of some data files?

yesterday i was reading about the visual fx studio "angel studios," founded in 1984 by a colombian guy named diego angel. their most notable film work is the cgi sequences in the 1992 film "the lawnmower man," and shortly after that they pivoted to video games and started making cutscenes for sega cd and saturn games. they started developing their own games for the n64, starting with ken griffey jr.'s major league baseball and kg jr's slugfest, then the (hugely impressive) n64 port of resident evil 2, then they made midtown madness 1 & 2 for microsoft. after the success of midtown madness they were acquired by rockstar games to make midnight club & smuggler's run, but their most notable work in the modern gaming industry is as the lead studio for the red dead series. a wild ride for mr. angel's little computer graphics company

There is a subquest in Rise where you have to make one fart and then photograph it.

First, my fiancée didn’t believe me.

Next, when I said “I need to take a picture of cheesy tots today” yesterday, she thought I was talking about Monster Hunter

When Akira came out :colbert:

New York was settled in 1624 that is the opposite of cyberpunk!

I like NeoTokyo though. Its much better than Evangelion's Tokyo-3.

Futurama's New New York works as a joke but its hard to take seriously.

Neotokyo was a lot of fun, but I recall it having a pretty steep learning curve. It also looked really nice for a Half-Life 2 mod (to the point where it barely ran on my computer) and had a really good soundtrack.

Well, thanks to Humble Monthly I guess I own Shenmue 3 now.

The Shenmue games are like primitive Yakuza games made by a man with no sense of humor, which occasionally make them unintentionally hilarious.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
And what's more, Shenmue 3 is the worst of them, disliked even by Shenmue fans.

Shenmue 3 is good. The end is really rushed and it's clear that it was made with less resources (ie money) than the other games, but it definitely is a Shenmue Game and that's what I wanted.

I definitely recommend playing 1 and 2 first though since they're both great games and replaying through them now is making me appreciate what was being done in 3 a lot more.

It's a good textbook example of why you don't really want to back Kickstarters, and to just wait until the game is actually finished. The developer lied a whole bunch about what the game would be, and how it was going to be released.

He was also very explicit about how he had not paid attention to games in the last 20 years. Between Shenmue 3 and Balan, lotta Sega wunderkinds stuck in bubbles.

Platinum is smart using Kickstarter for game ports. Much quicker turnaround and little chance of a disappointing final product. I'm surprised it hasn't caught on more with small developers.

My favourite piece of Shenmue lore is that the English voice cast was allegedly chosen based on their similarity to the characters in the game.

I actually enjoyed the first game, but my favourite part was exploring this incredibly detailed (for the time) Japanese town in the eighties. Lan Di and the Dragon mirror was just an excuse for some virtual tourism.

The story of shenmue is a guy killed your dad, and you want revenge. So you spend 400 hours playing a slice of life simulator involving forklift driving, fishing and gambling. You never get revenge.

That's literally all 3 games.

It was GTA in China before GTA, but now its basically unplayable.

Please be excited.



I think my hit rate of Kickstarters being good is well over 60%. The only ones I truly regretted were:

- Planetary Annihilation - Riding the wave of nostalgic Kickstarters despite never having played the game it was based on
- War for the Overworld - Didn't work
- Shroud of the Avatar - See both above
- Armikrog - Did it because I had fond memories of Skullmonkeys. I didn't know about Tenaple until it was too late, and it was unplayable shite

dang Gnosia is pretty fun/the art is sick and I like the crew a lot. I was feeling like it's a little random who the AI decides to dogpile in the votes sometime but then when you go back through the logs at the end it seems like they noticed a lie that my stats are too low to detect right now so it'll be interesting to see what the later loops are like (I'm on loop 11 or 12 I think)

But I was wondering, if you get the AC follower role is your win condition the same as a regular human or are you supposed to be helping the Gnosia win (I think the game tells you but I skipped it by mistake)
