Terry Bogard at Thanksgiving: I have a cold, ma, that's why my voice sounds deeper. It's nothing.

@melissasage It also took a really long time for people to admit "realistic" 3D games looked like ass. About until it started to look natural.

@melissasage I think we're just now starting to see people get into ugly early 3D, the way people are nostalgic for scanlines and video artifacts now

@melissasage Like Sonic Mania is retro, and it uses sprites and characters inspired by a 2D Saturn game, which is the same gen as the N64

@melissasage I know, right? I think at least partially it's because retro aesthetics in gaming means pixelly sprites, not blocky 3d models

It's a travesty that Chris Farley and David Spade never got to depict Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates in a biopic

@melissasage @dirtycommo Objective C is German because it is inordinately fond of long compound names, such as pageViewControllerPreferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation and HMCharacteristicValueCarbonDioxideDetectionStatus

But what is the game like?

This game, not the entirety of the ~40 year history of roguelikes.

The most negative review on Metacritic, which gives the game a 40, ends with, "As it stands, RAD will likely please roguelike aficionados who will forgive ill-conceived gameplay ideas because of the challenge it adds to the experience."

So it's basically saying, if you enjoy the genre, you will like it. But if you don't like the genre...you will not like it.

Thanks, very informative.
