You go first. If you only share a little, everyone else shares a lot. If you share a lot, everyone else only shares a little.
I think you have to take it within the context of when it came out. CoD4 and Mass Effect came out 9 years later. There wasn't anything like HL in 98. Enemies that talked to each other and flanked you? Unseen before. Does it stand up to games now? We've learned so much since then. But I think you'd be hard pressed to find a modern shooter that didn't trace its heritage back to HL.
When did you first play it and what other shooters had you played?
Brotato is amazing. One of the best.
The phrase predates the band by a few hundred years, so probably unrelated.
It appears the band became known slightly after this comic, but there is some overlap.
If we're being technical, there's no legal right to no taxation without representation either.
But the current status is not representation either.
This is now my second favorite "cart before the horse joke".
Yeah, my client already shows the date. Now I get it twice!
Totally. Perhaps a better way to phrase it would be, the successful result of the adaptation was that birds spread their seeds instead of mammals. Until us.
Still a good joke as we're mammals, but peppers's spice is so that birds, and not mammals, eat their seeds and poop them out far away as birds aren't bothered by capsaicin.
At what cost to society?
I appreciate when a company chooses to not manipulate its customers with sales pricing and instead has a fixed price.
I can only speak to developers, but lots were let go including friends.
I don't know that I would call Northgard a Warcraft clone. The mall is divided into tiles and each tile has its own resources and building limits. Units can only attack other units that are in their tile. There's a much bigger emphasis on building up your tech tree and taking tiles.
Still, it's one of the more interesting and fun evolutions of the RTS genre. If sci-fi is more to your taste, Dune the newer gameby the same studio is similar.
It is some of the things you've mentioned. But it is not nihilistic.
Story wise? I have no idea.
Dungeon of the Endless is a strange turn based, real time, tower defense, strategy, dungeon crawler. You control a party of units.
Endless Dungeon is essentially the same, but it's a twin stick shooter where you control one unit.
