Gameplay videos, pixel art, and game design?
Stranglehold really took the Max Payne action formula and amped it up a lot. It's definitely a great example of it.

The oldest video on YouTube for the specialists is for the 3.0 trailer, 17 years ago 😱 pardon me while I turn to dust youtu.be/DSqvYioc658?...

There's a chance it was, but when it was the only thing doing it, it felt amazing. I felt the same about an early alpha of a DBZ mod, I think also for HL, that implemented full beam struggles and that was absolutely wild. It controlled TERRIBLY, but it didn't matter since it was so unique.

The Specialists was absolutely wild, and I don't think I've ever experienced anything quite like that chaos since. I'm glad someone else remembers it!

I remember trying to play it on my laptop in my freshman year of college and the absolute struggle of getting it to run. Why do you do this to me.

This is amazing!

It's not perfect, but the steam remote streaming has gotten a lot better for me over the years. My old steam link on my tv, even via wifi, is practically flawless, and the steam deck is relatively painless.

I've heard moonlight is even better, I just haven't been bothered to set it up yet.

I feel like that's the real key; religion given as an excuse for colonialism and marginalization. Most will buy it outright without further question, so it makes for an excellent scapegoat, historically. This discourse (as in these actual conversations) are a good step to inform and combat that tho

Thank you for the educational threads, and just to say it: you're a real one, and spreading that knowledge is important as hell <3

So let's just scrub the background... Aaaand voila, you are instantly a Street Fighter background NPC. Amazing. 10/10. Would Chipzel again.

That is a tagline for the AGES

It's so hard to explain to people how great and weird the experience gets after the initial star chart, so glad you're enjoying it!

Congrats! That's amazing!

Can't wait! And if you need any assistance setting the league up lemme know, I'm at least familiar with it.

Doing fantasycritic.games? I've had a blast with it the past 2 years, really curious to see how it shakes out for y'all!

But who truly is the Ruxin of the group... 🤔

They are both also great! I think you'd like Octavia in particular since it turns the mission into a mini rhythm game for everyone (and Mirage is... Disco lasers).

I'm a casual player but lmk if you have any questions or want a low-pressure squadmate 😊

But have you considered... Titania.

Congrats on the first farmed frame! That's a good looking Koumei color palette! I dove back in these holidays as well to get up to 1999, and I've been having a great time with it. I've become rather attached to Sevagoth and Wisp myself :3

I would advise HIGHLY against it. Thankfully the game is fun enough on its own!

My friends and I all used to play by following the rules for drinking.

Our bodies do not allow us to do this anymore.
