Let’s try and keep it below 10 11 entries:
Honestly nowadays so many games have great soundtracks, it is a joy to behold! Makes it harder to chose favorites though…
Honestly, games like Undying are exactly the games that need a remaster to fulfill the vision that was clearly there in the original. The first 2/3 are still a marvelous horror game, but the end is so unfulfilling.
I mean, I’m not an ultra fan, only a casual one and I dislike that. The whole over the top style of WH40k is exactly what was fascinating about it. If I want to play something with modern soldiers, I have Battlefield or Call Of Duty. I play 40k games for the absurdity of it. That’s exactly the kind of “I know better what the fans want” that most bad adaptations are born out of. Luckily it seems they didn’t feel the need to change too much.
But admittedly, I can understand that you don’t want to create something where you are pretty sure enough media illiterate idiots will not get that the fascists are NOT supposed to be the good guys.
Thanks for the confirmation!
That was my source of confusion: finding out, how stuff works exactly is science. Even if we know the rough principle, the details might reveal some new things.
It’s a different isotope, so different number of neutrons. If the proton number would be different, it would be another element altogether, since the proton number defines what element it is.
Here is my try at explaining it in layman terms, but I’m not 100% sure I got the meme completely right. I didn’t do protein crystallography, only organometallics.
Crystallography is the dark magic art of turning nice really small crystals into pictures of molecules (or more precisely: 3D maps of electron density) The scientist in the meme wanted to measure the same protein, but under different pH conditions, so either adding some acid or some base while the crystals form. Then they hopefully get different structures at different pH values and can make a nice video animation like a flipbook to show the change in structure.
And I think the meme makes fun of the fact that the scientist did this experiment with a certain expectation and then that expectation happens but the scientist is surprised by it happening.
They chose a protein which is a reductase, meaning it can reduce the oxidation state of certain molecules. Such a reduction reaction is often dependant on pH value in organism (I think), therefore changing the pH value changes what the protein will do in the crystallization solution.
I’m trying to think of any game I played that was like that. You have some examples (western or not, old or not) on your mind?
Same as you, I liked the more grounded part better.
The atmosphere is brilliant and the world was so creative. Cyperpunk is hard to do realistically, but Norco managed to create a believable dystopia to me. Because it wasn’t that different from our own.
And I applaud the developers for the jump scare with the smartphone and the hobo. That one was really well done.
Wow, it seems I completely merged those two games in my mind. Because I can’t find anything regarding randomness now that I’m looking for it. Thanks for correcting it!
Thing is: you don’t need to look at it longer than a second to understand what is meant to be conveyed. So no, goal achieved, good use of resources instead of overspending on one useless metric (=making it realistic)
Thanks for the review!
What I find fascinating is that there is no fixed solution, even though it is a detective game. Therefore you can’t just look up in a guide, but rather still need to do the detective work and deduce the culprit from the clues.
EDIT: seems I confused this game with the “official” Blade Runner game in my mind. So disregard the following paragraph.
It also is an interesting game in regard to Kojima himself. While it is cinematic, especially for its time, since it was one of the first visual novel games, the non linearity regarding who is an android and who isn’t is in contrast from the story/gameplay linearity of his Metal Gear series. You can play Snatcher multiple times and each time it will be different.
I still have to play this game, I didn’t manage to make the emulation work in my last attempt. So thanks for the reminder.
Wait, your police is acting on those reports? Any hints on how to manage that?
Me too

Just one question: on which keyboard are 4 and 9 close to each other to get typoed *X-Files music starts*
I played only the full game and not the demo. As far as I heard about it, the demo had all elements of the full game just a smaller area to work in. If you think the demo was not fulfilling enough, I don’t think the full game will satisfy you.
It definitely is a game where you need to set goals for yourself. It is better described as a program than a game, because it is not objective driven at all, but simply gives you the possibility to build scenes.
Very well written! Your second paragraph describes so well why I like Cross and its s story.
I didn’t know that Trigger story was written by two people, but yeah, in hindsight it explains a lot.
Ah, yes. Thanks for the reminder, already forgot about this bullshit decision from Sony for the PC release.

It’s not so much nature lovers but social media “content creators” who are criticized here.
There was a case I read of a man caring for a beautiful patch of flowers, but then it got famous on social media and those assholes went there in buses, took pictures lying in there and destroyed it. Heartbreaking to read about that one. Sadly I can’t find that specific case anymore, but there are enough articles about the problem, like this one.
