Well it's crappy NES games week and today I have not one, not two, but THREE Dungeons & Dragons licensed games to talk about. So let's start with probably the most infamous one, Heroes of the Lance.

Blue Mage. Great concept, extremely fun to build up and play as in every game they're in, but especially FFV. And they sport some stylish attire

NEW: GoFundMe strictly bans fundraisers for “the legal defense of financial and violent crimes,” yet is currently running one “to help pay for any legal services” for the ICE agent who killed Renee Nicole Good. Its conflict is not even the least bit contestable.
GoFundMe Ignores Own Rules by Hosting a Legal-Defense Fund for the ICE Agent Who Killed Renee Good
The fundraiser for the ICE agent in the Renee Good killing has stayed online in seeming breach of GoFundMe’s own terms of service, prompting questions about selective enforcement.

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

Alright let's talk some bad NES games. Starting with the game of Ghostbusters. A very bad port of the Commodore 64 game developed by Bits Laboratory, aka Workss. They also brought us the NES "classic" King's Knight.

An administrative warrant is signed by ICE, not a judge. Without a signed judicial warrant, agents do not have the right to enter your home.
You have the right to ask to see the warrant.
You have the right to refuse entry without one.

Tactics again. Gotta be Tactics. Game's crazy deep and ultra challenging but never becomes overwhelming or feels unfair.
Well, there's one or two particularly (in)famous fights but you can prepare for those so you don't get hamstrung, especially in the remaster.

Dragon Quest 11 has now officially surpassed 9,000,000 units sold! The craziest thing about this statement is that it has now surpassed Final Fantasy 9 & 10 in sales which is just crazy to think about! The only Square Enix RPGs that sold more are FF7OG/8/13/14/15 & NieR Automata.

People trying to algorithmically "solve" entertainment media like it's some kind of magical money making formula instead of something people buy for its artistic merit and storytelling. You know, things require talent and humanity (real humanity, not some arbitary number on a stat menu)
Yeah it was the number of lines hades had that made the game great… not the quality.
With AI we can have twice the number of lines! That makes the game 2x better!
Why are game developers so lazy to not want to make their game 2x better?

I don’t buy into the myth that hardships makes better art. Sometimes art is made in spite of it or in conversation to it, but personally I don’t know how to be creative when I’m sad.
