For a while, there was a patent on it, at least in he US. I remember having to root a Sony phone to enable the fingerprint reader on the power button about 10 years ago.

It's not about agreeing or not agreeing with them, it's the fact that it's a misleading fluff piece and you full well know it.

Feels like the wrong use of this ~~sub~~ community.

Same sentiment here. Loved braid when it came out. Bought and enjoyed The Witness when it came out. I don't need a remaster of either. If you've got a good idea for another game I'm very interested but I'm not re-buying games I already own.

I gotta disagree. This looks amazing. The ability to free roam this world is huge on its own. From the previews I've read there are tweaks to the world and new puzzles sprinkled in. This looks like a great way to introduce a new generation to Riven without tarnishing the original.

Plus the originals are indeed still available to enjoy if that's your thing.

I'm guessing because onyx doesn't have a book store to subsidize the price with like Amazon.

Anyone have more pictograms (is that the right word?) for other animes?

I'm sad Um Actually is losing Trapp but I'm hoping the addition of BDG is going to be wonderful.

He does? At least in America, I feel like "ho ho ho" is the traditional number of hoes.

I'm pretty sure that's how Hulu started. A joint venture through several companies to stream all their shows. Problem is once Disney got in everyone else tried to spin up their own and cash out of Hulu.

It'll be investing to see what alternatives crop up one piracy makes it's comeback.

I had your same mindset for years but the cost of premium went up this year and when looking at the new price vs other streaming services, it didn't make sense for my family any more. If their AdBlock thing starts screwing with my account, I just might be done with all Google products.

I have so many fond memories of Jurassic Park Trespasser. I remember my dad picked it up for me right around launch time. I had read the previews in PC Gamer magazine and was fully into the hype.

The game was really attempting VR before we had VR. There was no HUD. Your lifebar was a heart tattoo on your chest that emptied as you took damage. There was no ammo counter for your guns. Your character would say things like, "feels full" or "feels a little light" to give you an estimate of ammo remaining.

The biggest flaw, apart from the broken AI for dinosaurs, was just like VR, you had to aim manually. You could turn and twist your gun freely which meant you had to aim down the sights. In VR, in 2023, with motion controllers, this is amazing. But in 1998, with a mouse and keyboard, it was really awkward. It's a game I never finished.; Probably never even got close to finishing. But I was still in awe of the world they built and freedom offered in 1998.
