Basically you get squares and your goal is to make a single line that crosses all squares once.

So, RCR: Underground releases tomorrow and it'll offer online koop. Was there ever an update if Mother Russia Bleeds will ever get online? I asked Devolver and I think the devs on Twitter a few times but never received an answer.

I'm using a different computer with Windows 10 and Firefox 51, and I don't have the same emojis as with the other computer. Some things are just crazy. It is ruining my experience of NeoGAF.

Edit: Based on the "thinking face" (&#129300, I used to have the Apple ones and I currently have Emoji One:



Edit²: Based on some other ones, I think I currently have something slightly different. Typically, for woman with bunny ears:

Apple:

Emoji One:

My current PC:

Edit-cubed: Microsoft 10 Anniversary Edition. This explains the differences.

Those emoji aren't compatible with the best Theme (dark)

 

[Wok]

Yeah the shitton of different emoji sets is annoying. I was looking into crafting a font for the superior Apple ones on Windows 10 for consistency across my devices but I eventually gave up.

E: Wait, you got the Apple ones on Windows? Like

I think I had the Windows 10 Anniversary edition on the other computer. It comes with new emojis but not the Apple ones.

White theme is better than dark theme.

Come get me.

Says the guy with the Daft Punk avatar ;P
Then again the black and white contrast works really well in your avy.

Hollow Knight

This game really deserves more attention - thoroughly impressed with it so far.

Come get me.

You're a monster.

 

[Tizoc]

No seriously people, if you found Witness' line puzzles too intimidating, Akin is a comforting lighter variation of it. When you figure out how to solve a puzzle it's always a joy, and for the $1 it is going for it's well worth dropping a few Gaben Cents into it. I am almost 1/2 way through the game.

Come get me.

I prefer it too. Dark theme makes me sad

 

[stan423321]

What rumors are that?
You're not talking about that free Chromebook rival, are you?

No, another (assuming one has UAC on) message box at detected installer launch coming to your regular Windows PC by the means of an update, attempting to redirect you to Windows Store. All I've seen is one screencap saying "The app you're installing isn't from Windows Store", not much on trigger conditions (are sideloaded UWPs triggering this? Maybe only them? What about directly downloaded or just compiled [through non-VS means] programs?) or possibility of disabling this prompt altogether (there apparently are some settings, though they could go other way around).

Dark theme makes it look like it's a porn site or something. White theme is better for work IMO.

Thanks for pointing this one out - seems the perfect piece of puzzle goodness to pass the time. Might have to check it out.

I thought the first Mordor was a really good framework for a game series. Hopefully they flesh out the world more to give it the bigger scale I want in a LOTR game.

This won't happen of course.

"Hey, I can upgrade weapons for you, want me to?"
"Sure!"
"Alright, I just need a beast fang and a chakram."
"Here you go."
"Uh...still need the chakram."
"She's holding it, isn't that good enough?"
"No."
"Okay, well I'll just unequip it and...what the hell? I can't unequip it."
"Well, you can buy an upgraded one in town and equip it, then give me the other one so I can upgrade it."
"Then what's the point of upgrading with you if I'm upgrading?"
"You could always go back to the first town and buy a second chakram."
"No, I can't! I was exiled from there and besides, this chick's the only one who can use chakrams, why would I have bought a second one?"
"Why would the store have it in the first place, ever think of that? Gotta think ahead."
"FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU...."

 

[Popstar]

I re-subscribed to Humble Monthly last month because the 10% off coupon and $5 store credit was too good to pass up and then unsubscribed again.

Humble has sent me another 10% off coupon for March. 🤔

Anyone here getting a Switch?

I kinda want one, my problem is that Zelda is the only game Im interested in and it's also on Wii U and I own a Wii U.

Doesn't the idea of Breath of the Wild on the go sway you at all? If not, Bomberman's surprisingly addictive, and even I Am Setsuna in portable form is pretty enjoyable.

this looks great

 

[jesusraz]

Is that supposed to be a parody of Mulder and Scully?

When you play it, you'll realise that couldn't be further from the truth. I'm not a big fan of the male lead, to be honest, but he's far better than the obnoxious and unfunny clown playable character. Still, there was more than enough in the ~15% demo playthrough recently to make this one of my most anticipated games of next month!

Not really. Super expensive for what is is with a lackluster line-up. I'd rather play Zelda at 4K on Cemu and buy a GPD Win instead.

Sorry, but no. Apple's emoji's are frickin' ugly, and I hate how they're the ones everyone uses. Google's are the best. Microsoft's are pretty good too, for lower DPI screens.

I don't know, of the 10 programmers I know at work (including me) only one uses a light theme for editing code. Or maybe they are browsing porn all the time.

 

[Hektor]

How long is the icey dlc anyways? The basegame was like a bit over 2 hours long, so i can't see them adding a ton

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Accessed the Icey DLC finally (no idea why they have to be so obtuse about these things?), but it's basically a balls hard challenge mode.

No idea what's at the end, or if there is one =/

 

[someguyinahat]

Sorry, but no. Apple's emoji's are frickin' ugly, and I hate how they're the ones everyone uses.

I'd argue that's true of any and all emojis.

 

[gelf]

I go light theme for desktop, dark for mobile for some reason. Don't ask me to explain why the difference.

 

[Hektor]

Pro: it's Berserk

Contra: it's a musou

Mhmmmm 🤔

Played 5 hours of it, and yip, the only redeemable factor of it is the Berserk IP.
But hey, that's still better than that shitty anime that couldn't even be redeemed by the virtue of it being Berserk i guess

 

[haendeul]

Apple, and Samsung's weird copycat ones. I actually prefer Facebook's emojies over everything else.

 

[Tonton]

Bah doesn't look like I'll be able to finish the Naruto story during the free weekend
Wish I had played yesterday
This was probably better than trying to watch the anime

How do you get that emoji menu on Firefox, anyway?

That's really stupid -- you should just play Secret Of Mana instead (or again) -- no BS there when you want to upgrade your chakram.

 

[Nillansan]

Picked up ICEY and Hollow Knight to scratch that Metroidvania itch. Got a nice discount on Princess Maker since I already owned the second entry in the series.

I have been told this is the only time in the game where this is an issue, but still, geez.

Not heard of Icey. Another Metroidvania? Hmm, interest rising...

 

[Monooboe]

No one hyped for new Mass Effect? I'm litte worried, I mean I still have ME2 as one of the four featured games on my Steam profile, so I really want the new one to be good but I know I shouldn't be hyped.:S

After Dragon Age Inquistion I don't trust bioware

So it's a one-time bug/oversight and not some kind of stupid design choice?

After Dragon Age Inquistion I don't trust bioware

I got DA:I super cheap a bit ago, and I don't think it's quite as terrible as people make it out to be. There's plenty of open world jank, and it's too easy,. But the story is somewhat enjoyable thus far. Haven't finished it though, so maybe it falls apart.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

After Dragon Age Inquistion I don't trust bioware

Pretty much this for me too.

 

[illusionary]

what all? Shovel Knight has only one dlc - soundtrack and it's not free

The playable "DLC" has until now come as free updates, but with the upcoming release of Specter of Torment, it's being split into three separate titles for those who haven't already purchased.

[someguyinahat]

The lack of unequipping is a design choice (I'm guessing based on the fact they didn't code in unarmed combat for the characters.) But later on, you should be able to backtrack and get the weapons you need.

 

[Monooboe]

After Dragon Age Inquistion I don't trust bioware

While I liked DA:I, I do realize what a let down it was. And it is also the reason I'm hesitant towards MEA. A part of me just hopes DA:I was the result of working on a new engine and such and that MEA would be the one where they show how it's done.

 

[Mikurden]

Yeah, I just wishlisted it -- it's always amazing when some new developer comes out of nowhere and makes an apparently great game on their first try.

 

[Hektor]

Everything i saw and read of Andromeda gave me the impression this game only exists to make some more cash on the popular IP by throwing in some hip'n'trendy open world surival grind elements into the mix.

Add to that that Bioware hasn't made a really good game since ME2 and i don't see any reason to be optimistic.

I'll wait a few months until i see what the post-hype opinions on it are or until i get it for sub 30$, and will see for myself, since i actually like the Mass Effect universe in on itself

OK now I'm just sad haha. I have stayed away from everything about the game, to save that sense of wonder and exploration playing it. I'm just waiting for the first reviews to hit and just see the score and then decide if I should buy it.

Oh, well that's still dumb that you have to buy extra weapons just to upgrade, as if you still wanted the inferior one afterwards.

It's currently on sale, which coincides with the newly added English voice over by Stefanie Joosten (Quiet from Metal Gear Solid 5) and free DLC.

Edit - Sorry I was under the impression that it was a Metroidvania, but it's a 2D character action game.
