I tried to raise the alarm to have him freed but there were no alarms

I forgot all about this release, I'll have to give it a listen. I have got all of their regular studio albums on CD apart from World of Noise that's too rough around the edges for me.

Hello! As in, on the radio? It's crazy that great songs like this got overplayed on US radio but here in England it probably never got played anywhere once. I didn't even know about the band until I saw the music video on cable TV for "I will buy you a new life"

Ahh ok i understand now, I was just thinking if there were no maths involved numbers means if you did localisation then you'd have to translate them over using symbols or colours. (Although the latter brings in colour blind awareness!)

I wonder what game engine you're using! ๐Ÿ˜‰

I hadn't seen this tag before either, I should do one also if i remember!

I don't really play puzzle games but is there a reason they are numbers, is basic maths involved?

It's also just completely unhelpful. Like I'm making a point and click adventure game, my npcs will often be very important in guiding the player to what they're supposed to be doing, can you imagine how that absolutely wouldn't work with this shite?

I drew this a long time ago but I guess the sprites would have looked something like this

If it's set during tng/ds9/voy too it would likely be one of my favourite games of all time!

I wanted to make a point and click star trek game but not something I can sell as a product that would take a long time to create!

Sorry to hear of your loss, that's awful even without your tragic past..

The singles charts should just be eliminated entirely now, given any song off an album counts as a single, it's even more meaningless.

Mind you, one advantage to getting the PS4 version is being able to have more than 2 players couch co-op because I can have 2 players using my PS5 pads and 2 players using my PS4 pads, on the rare event I have people around. ๐Ÿ˜…

I would have preferred the PS5 version but this was ยฃ23 sealed, an absolute bargain!! The seller has sold out now so no point in saying where from..

The only Fast movie I've seen all the way through is Hobbs and Shaw lol

Was this a street fighter style game? I vaguely remember seeing a c64 version of it in a newsagents.

I remember not being able to play it initially, I think it didn't like the A1200! How I eventually got it to play, I can't reme.. oh wait, Kickstarter floppy disks that you booted from??

In a twist, because I'm mean, 9 of the worst games I ever played. (There could be worse I've forgotten about)

Why the Jedi game? It was so buggy on launch it killed my PS4.

Some people give up on shows too quickly. Take Starfleet Academy for instance. If I had stopped watching it after the third episode (which I've seen people say they did), which I absolutely despised, then I would have missed out on so many awesome episodes that followed it.

Yeah i mostly just did what came to mind, I could easily do a top 9 for many different genres like jrpgs, although Grandia 1 wouldn't go in there ๐Ÿ˜›

Don't get me wrong, I have fond memories of playing it on PS1, it's a cherished memory, but playing it now? It's a slog for me. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Some games I love, I tried to pick games from different genres so they're like examples of fave games from those types of genres.

Ah ok, that's fair enough.

I really don't want to count the 4th and 5th Highlander sequels.. ๐Ÿ˜…

Haha yes I've seen the US version too!!

Sorry, what I meant was, it's only revealed to be all a dream at the end of the entire show, the last episode. It's not much of a show to spoil though so sod it, it's The Brittas Empire, a comedy show. If I ever watch it again I'll just not watch that last episode.

07.03.2026 18:58 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

There was a British TV show that did this but every single season was all a dream in the end, and it ran for 7 seasons.

I was surprised by just how different the American Big Brother is to the versions in UK and Australia. I really didn't like all the back stabbing.

"The album play time is only 35 minutes, it should have been much longer"

"The music is very challenging to listen to, this is the dark souls of music"

Yep! It struck me that it was trying to be like Guardians of the galaxy but gotg is good, this isn't. The irish robot guy, what on earth, this isn't Men in Black.

I also felt like it just tossed away Phillipa's character arc from what little I saw of it.
