I am not the person with the clicky keyboard or mic in this scenario and the many real experiences that inform it. I would think that obvious.

On the other hand, hearing someone get progressively saltier just by the sound of their keyboard is hilarious

-Why did this old 90s game have such good voice acting and writing
-Why has nobody ever made another game like it

the original creators tried to kickstart a new one in the past year or so but they got lawsuited into oblivion by the lovely game company that bought up the license

I don't know about the main consoles, but they've definitely done this a lot with Switch games so that the publisher doesn't have to pony up for the larger capacity cards.

I know the iD games had large portions of their games that had to be downloaded.

Maybe they can get Spyro 1 onto a smaller bluray disc and putting all 3 games on one disc would force them to jump up to a model with a larger capacity. Though I really don't know anything about bluray costs/sizes at all.

Also, maybe Spyro 1 was the only finished game when it needed to be sent to the factory and Spyro 2 and 3 are still being worked on?

What's everybody up to today? I'm just lying in bed still like I do every day. There's this tabletop game called Gratuitous Anime Gimmick that some goon named Lunatic Sledge made and I've been rereading the rules for it because I've been wanting to put together a campaign for a play-by-post thing but I'm bad at writing so I h aven't come up with much yet.

Hopefully everybody is having a good Wednesday! It feels like a Thursday to me, my mental clock is off but that's hardly new. I never know what the current time is.

Considering the Crash trilogy just came out on PC, I'm sure Spyro will make its way over eventually.

All I know about Stardock is that the CEO of the company is a massive shithead. Which is not at all shocking news in the game industry, I know.

Bees are pretty cool though, but not when someone is allergic, that part is not so cool.

I was watching the Planet Earth II documentary last night, and the episode on plains mentioned that ants cover 30% of all plains on the planet. That is a lot of god drat ants. I need to make a white deck in Magic the Gathering that specializes in ants.

bees are cool, so set them outside where they can frolic and pollinate instead of inside a gross office where they'll probably just die

Evil, chilling, but still rational and logical. And you think they are the worst things around until you find their siblings that are even more hosed up but still doing horrible poo poo for a logical reason.

20+ years later you get Mass Effect 3 and "lol I guess we're genociding the galaxy to somehow keep organics and AI from killing each other while doing nothing to actually solve this problem". Ridiculous.

The best way to play Mass Effect is to only play Mass Effect 2 with all DLC.
