Admin note: originally in response to this post in The Plucky Spire but separated out I know they're not the first to do it by any means but I do like this increasing trend of allowing players to customise their play experience to meet either their needs or preferences. Hopefully we're slowly moving away from the obnoxious git gud mentality.

And yet strangely you've not enjoyed a game since 😋

And now so is the pricing policy 🎉 https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/12/24242937/unity-runtime-fee-cancelled-subscription-pricing They're upping the standard pricing though of course

Just seen an image comparison between the Pro and OG and immediately thought of this:

I wonder how much of that is down to the weak yen (in the sense of "I wonder what the price would have been had it not been for the weak yen"). Although it did remind me when the Pixel Tablet launched it was £100 more in the UK than the USA even when you factored in tax. Put me off getting one. And MK8DX2

Given the ridiculous release date they scheduled it's no wonder. A lot of people have probably burnt out.

$555 hopefully

Based on the title I'm guessing they've found her then

Oh I'm very aware of the concept of the game (spent a lot of yen playing it in the arcade last year). My point was more about how it seems to have gone from a game you can play how you want to a track racer.

So it's a track-based racing game where you occasionally stop?

Makes me want some jelly donuts

Sorry, I know I still need to look into this but everything happens so much, as the wise elders once said. Here have this:

Zelda's dad really does punt her in the intro. And watching that triggered my degree brain; with this and the Peach game Nintendo has now twice given their princess characters violent mechanics when they're explicitly not themselves. They are trapped in this weird bind where they see a need to modernise a bit, but don't want to completely change the character so they've basically gone "urr it's basically all a dream".

I want Wario to officially be renamed François.

Might be tempted to get the special edition depending on the art book. If there's actual notes, decisions etc I'd be interested but if it was just a series of screenshots and renders not so much. Shame there's no Italian, could have claimed it as revision.

Makes me feel better about all the sarcastic comments about colleagues I leave in my code

The N64 one is asking for

I was going to say "I wonder if they'll be allowed to talk when the public are there". I know we didn't see anything but there was no indication that spaces have been left side for future generations. I know it's a museum, but still.

Well it's basically what happens now, but you'll get notification about when things take place and can sync it with your personal calendar if you wish. Just a more dedicated way to manage it rather than posts in a thread (although you can also have threads within the club and obviously post in here).

This feels like when American bands do a "world tour".

Can't say I did.

To follow up on what Glen said, if there's any questions/comments etc about how the club thing works let me know. We're still getting to grips with how it can operate but hopefully it will make managing things like this a bit easier.

And according to the video posted the other day.

Sorry guys. I do need to look at this but things have been chaotic (granted, that has included two trips abroad but even so, busy!)

Oh maybe it's an access thing then I'd not realised. I'm not adverse to adding it assuming people don't abuse it too much.
