Conservatives don’t often show up on new communities with blatant conservatism. Instead, they try their best to integrate into the culture then slowly turn things rightward. Hell, that’s what happened to Reddit too.

I’ll always update posts about Jerry Lawson. The Fairchild Channel F was truly revolutionary.

Of course it’s discouraging because any deviation from a norm requires change, and people by their nature hate change.

But I’ve been on the Fediverse for quite a few years, and nothing moves the needle like stubbornness.

Yeah, it’s the name of both the character and the game.

Marlow Briggs. It's kind of like God of War but way more funny.

Be the change. Start discussing those things, and others will eventually discuss it with you.

Atari's recent games have been pretty good. And it is nice that this is being developed by the same folks who made BIT.TRIP.

However, it is really hard to make something new and fresh with the old Breakout formula.

Unnoticed? Not at all. The Guinness World of Records recognizes this game as the first to "utilise basic stealth game mechanics".

I happen to disagree with them, but they certainly noticed.

The reason you've never played this game is because it didn't have a dedicated cabinet. It used the Raster Scan Convert-a-Game system. Which means many of the cabinets that were once used for this game no longer host it. And if that's not enough 005 never got a home port.

It is also highly likely Konami knew about 005 since this game was developed and made by SEGA, got great reviews upon its release, and well, Metal Gear used its mechanics.
