that is so oddly specific. Does Russia have a big market that it's a big loss?

I don't think that's what the reporting actually says, it's that by doing this, Embracer will no longer have any assets based in Russia, because none of the studios they're retaining after the Saber sales are there.

Historically Saber Interactive was known for funneling cheap Russian labor into development support for other game studios

Speaking of which, I got the Jeff Minter Digital Eclipse collection.

It's still a fine package but it's definitely less focused than the Making of Karateka. Also most of these old Llamasoft games are pretty unplayable lol... I wonder if I would have gotten into games if this was what I grew up with.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FX_RLpMppeI

This came out a year before Super Mario Bros., and ironically for VG history purposes my takeaway from this collection has been "Nintendo was so important for having guys who thought 'What if we made a game character where it felt good to jump and it wasn't like pushing a sack of rocks'"

The music light machine thing is interesting though and I could probably see myself playing more Tempest 2000. I might also go back and check Polybius for a Llamasoft with contemporary design

Rory has enchanting eyes

Apparently Rory was the pet of a Llamasoft fan who wrote to Minter and asked if he could put her pet guinea pig into a game. There was never a full Rory game but he has a cameo

This is now the most important historical fact I've learned from this collection

Does anyone else find weird synchronicities between games they're playing and real life...

I was just reading Jeff Minters newsletter where he mentions drinking Inca Kola and somehow the next day I'm in a Peruvian restaurant drinking one... I didn't plan this I just noticed this on my drive home today

I'm gonna say that most Llamasoft games are more interesting to look at and admire than play lol????

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piKFh84lU30
I thought Llamatron 2112 would be the first one chronologically that I could just intuitively play and actually get into... then i started randomly dying in wave 10 lol? Also I guess I'm an idiot for thinking a glowing label pointing to "laser" would be a good thing I guess

It was released in 1991.... I know I'm comparing basically a AAA juggernaut release to the visionary independent underdog or whatever but I was playing UN Squadron as a kid that same year, if I had been given Llamatron at the time would I have ever gotten into games lol

Reviews for DragDog 2 are beginning to trickle out

https://x.com/RPGSite/status/1770466882044207112?s=20

According to RPG Site, the system requirements are so high that there is not a computer that you can build today that will run the first city in the game without some sub-60 frame dips

This explains why the PS5 version is a rough 30fps I guess lol

I guess I'm building a 4090 super PC or whatever

Wavering on whether to get DD2 or let it be for the time being. I did enjoy the original but it never quuuuite clicked for me, combat felt somehow just a touch off but I couldn't pin down why. Maybe I'll grab it and make sure to keep an eye on the refund window.

I think some people were saying it's not a GPU bottleneck but a CPU one for the city stuff?

I guess it's impossible for games to have any real mystery to them anymore in terms of discovering some random gem in the game store, every game even if it doesn't have some immense marketing campaign will have influencers making 40 hours of speculation/explainer videos for clout
