C-C-C-Cthulhu!

PEOPLE: - Shigeru Miyamoto, age 38. Creator of Zelda, Mario, & more. - Yuji Horii, age 36. Creator of Dragon Quest. QUOTE: "Miyamoto: I think sound is very important for games. Even in Super Mario World, I think the reverb and spatial quality of the sound help define a stage more than the pretty graphics. Horii: That’s very true. However, there is the problem of how much memory sampling takes up. To test it out, we sampled the sound of breaking glass, and it ate up 6kb of memory on the SFC. We could fit 5 or 6 towns into that space…! Miyamoto: Yeah, memory is still a real issue. I think you can use those sounds in a variety of interesting ways though. In a dungeon, for instance, if players hear a bell chime off to the right, it could be a nice hint."

Ring of fire during the annular eclipse

Fell in.

I just paid six dollars and fifty cents for an all-natural soda. Remember when Vincent Vega was shocked that a milk shake could cost five dollars? Seems so quaint.

I’m going to be the outlier here and say I really like Elden Ring, but it took a bit of a journey to get there. The zen I found is to EITHER gather Runes OR explore but not both. And never enter a dungeon with money in your pocket. But the world itself feels very compelling even tho it’s in ruin.
