Totally, I missed it until someone pointed it out in the comments, assumptions about a “consistent world” are kind of baked in. Your brain might implicitly flip it just to make sense.

Right, indeed. 😊

Maybe they should have, since this is definitely something it picks up.

My input was “what is wrong with this text if any”

There is an error in this text. Let me point out the inconsistency: It states that Lewis “lost his hearing in his right ear” but then mentions he adapted to “relying solely on his right ear.” This is contradictory because…

Either way, losing hearing as a musician must suck extra.

There is Songs of Conquest which I think most HoMM players will appreciate. A modern wink to the series.

For me too, the pixel art style of it I really love. I’ve even tried one because I was perhaps that feels closer to two than three, but it’s just too unpolished and primitive vs two.

Three may very well be the superior game. Same with AOE. For most people the love is for two; which is the better game, but I’ve always reached back to 1.

(Now with the DE editions of those, those are the better games, get 2 with the Rome expansion)

Perhaps a DE version of HoMM will be released as well.

Super Mario Bros in the NES for me, the excitement if you reach a later level for the first time, only to die and have to try it al over again.

Totally, I sometimes still play it too, even though I have newer versions in my collection. Looking forward to Anno 117 Pax Romana though!

Anno 1602 is lovely too.

I’ll propose Age of Empires 1. That one is my childhood pretty much 😄

Yeah early Netflix was great, now it’s too fragmented. Like a Tidal or Spotify would be useless if they would be fragmented on the same level.

I saw a link on Lemmy to a “GoG” clone on which you can download all games for free.

Like of all the places not to pirate I would assume the company that enforces no DRM, direct downloads that you can save indefinitely and that makes older games work on newer hardware, would be on the top of that list.

Since those are such common complaints on why to pirate.

Next to that they have deals often where the prices are already really low.

Competing with free is near impossible.

I was thinking about perhaps moving things to Proton, being European and all, and touting privacy etc. Looks like that won’t happen.
