I've played Tales of Monkey Island. If you've played Telltale's version of Sam and Max, it's pretty much the same kind of take. Probably suffers quite a bit from the episodic format, and puzzles are a bit straightforward compared to classic monkey island games. Fans of the series mostly consider it a huge letdown.

Can't say anything about the more serious parts of the Telltale catalogue, I've never played those, but for having played this, the 3 Sam & Max seasons and Back to the Future, there was certainly a Telltale formula that started annoying me after a while. They went less and less subtle about crafting their dialogues so they all lead to the same answer, they clearly wrote their stories with an objective to reuse character models and assets, and they still used that in-house engine that looked and controlled terribly, barely improved through the years.

Je connaissais pas le personnage du coup je suis allé voir la première vidéo Mindliar.

Glauque. Le mensonge sur sa carrière c'est une chose mais la partie sur son association de victime et les bouquins de charognard qu'il a publié, c'est dégueulasse.

Le culot de dire "faut pas creuser la différence entre les élites et nos concitoyens" juste après avoir suggéré que Le Pen est trop importante pour ête condamnée par la justice.

Sakuna, of Rice and Ruins is about a goddess in a fictional but very shinto-adjacent religion in a country not quite, but not entirely unlike Japan. She's the daughter of her pantheon's God of War and Goddess of Harvests. She bashes monster heads and she sows rice, and both are important.

Fun and light-hearted, with a small cast of quirky likeable characters.

General opinion seems to be this is definitely a game.

Warner Bros is trying way too hard at this multiverse thing.

They did say that GOG didn't mean "Good Old Games" anymore at one point, trying to change their image a bit, but even then they never really stopped doing that really.

They chased lost licences for a bunch of old CRPG, they made preconfigured DosBox packages for games that needed them...

They'd be crazy to stop that. As you said, it's one of the things that set them slightly apart from the competition.

Cool declaration of intent, and they definitely do a lot for tweaking and packaging old games so they're in a playable state.

But it's a bit amusing to see The Witcher in there. I mean, yeah, I certainly hope you're maintaining that one.

Isn't that the wreck of a port with botched controls, horribly misshapen characters and "enhanced" textures that misspelled environmental text everywhere? Occasionally completely missing jokes by doing so?

Was it supposed to be fixed in any way at some point?

Yeah, I've seen this done with aluminium.

Also mostly the plot of Ernest Cline's Armada, with a megaton of unsufferable 'tude and pointless 80's references sprinkled on it. Those references include "the last Starfighter", of course. It's terrible.

The podcast "372 pages we'll never get back" with Mike and Connor from MST3K/rifftrax did its second season on it. Kind of a book club with books they assume they're going to hate (mostly). First season was Ready Player One, from Cline too, so they chose this one next because they were astonished that Armada could be considered the bad one compared to RP1.

I think this is a bug? I read that this apparently happened to some people with some previous expedition reward ships, but it's the first I've seen it. Steam version.

When I tried to claim the ship, my only claim option was to buy it for 1400 nanites. I hadn't that much left, I basically spent all my nanites on minotaur AI and upgrades (because fuck having to fight yourself in this game). Since I couldn't buy, I had a warning I would not be able to claim it later, and even though I cancelled, while I was trying to farm for nanites that game switched to normal save and I couldn't claim anymore (even from Anomaly).

I've confirmed in another save that the reward is available, but since I don't have that much nanites, I haven't try claiming yet, just in case it got eaten up again.
