illustration of a ginger striped cat, another white cat with black and red patches and another completely white cat, dancing in unison with humans, one with a dinosaur(?) mask on. two in game screenshots in the upper left hand corner of the ad, one of a girl petting the ginger cat, the other screen split into six facial portraits of the ginger cat.

apropos of nothing, I am so tired of seeing concurrent steam player counts cited as a measure of a single player game's success

a contender for my favorite behind-the-scenes photo: The Hunt for Red October crew built their submarine set(s) on top of a hydraulic gimbal, 45 ft above the stage floor, capable of tilting 45 degrees to mimic a sub's movements - Sean Connery said it made him seasick. even the gauges inside worked.

Yes! Hehe, PVM-14N5, ex-NHS I think, got it during lockdown for about half the price they are now. Doesn’t do RGB but s-video looks plenty good to me.

is it because someone in narrative had to try and figure out how the ticks were milked and they didn't wanna think about it? cowards imo.

Very sad to see. Spent a large portion of my twenties and early thirties helping to build this site (along with most of the others in the network), and was there right at the very beginning, so hard to watch this happen. So sorry to the good people impacted. What a state.

This looks great! I think the marketing literally saying stuff like "it's y2k again!" and "return to 2005!" is a bit needy and on the nose, but the game itself looks great.
