Recently finished Sleeping Dogs, a GTA-like set in Hong-Kong that's supposed to draw inspiration from HK action movies. I've lived in HK for 6 months and loved the place so I was keen to experience it in video game form, and I also love HK action movies so on paper it was a perfect game for me...

That brings back memories of my childhood and a magazine with a CD full of weird and wonderful doom mods

Played a few games recently : Figment 1 and 2: Isometric action-adventure games set in someone's mind. The fighting/action is pretty simple and the focus is more on puzzles, which is a good thing because I played it on my phone with touch controls. They are relatively short (in a good way, they...

Movie : Total Recall (1990) vs Book: We can remember it for you wholesale (Philip K. Dick) I won't say the movie is better but the original short story is more of a fun little story with a twist ending that got turned into an action movie.

If you're trying from the Pandora itself it might be a certificate issue.

Yes, this is actually something LLMs are decent at: summarizing something. You can have it look at some documentation and pull what you need, or at least tell you where to look.

Recently finished Kotor 2 (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 - The Sith Lords) on my phone. I played the first one a long time ago so I remembered the global plot but not all the details and characters. I probably missed a few references but that didn't prevent me from following the...

The problem with LLM written code is that you can't trust it. It will hallucinate dependencies (with security risks) and is prone to writing unsecure code. So you need a human to review it. And code review is difficult, and not very interesting. It's like having a self-driving car but having to...

I played it 10 years ago. From what I remember it looks great, the gameplay is nothing exceptionnal but it's solid enough. I just remember that most levels were a bit too long, they just kept going after exhausting everything interesting. I won't say it's a must-play but I have good memories of it.

I've played it recently on my SNES Mini and found the reflex-intensive levels (such as the mine carts levels) to be very difficult. If I have the opportunity I'll try to compare with my SNES and cart.

Yes it was designed for mouse point and click. I guess you won't be able to play user generated content on the Switch version. It's too bad, there are some pretty good content.

I've enjoyed the series a lot. Returns was the first effort of the team and it's showing: Dragonfall and Hong-Kong are generally better liked. I've actually published an adventure for Dragonfall (available on the Steam Workshop).

Finished Evoland 2 on my phone. I haven't played the first one. This one is an action-RPG centered on time travel, with each epoch having its own graphic style (low-res 2D, SNES-like 2D and 3D) and many different game styles (mostly action-RPG but also platforming, beat them up, shmup, etc.)...

Yes there's zero chance anyone will check your handheld, unless the police is actively looking to pin something on you (for example if you've insulted them or they suspect you of committing a crime but can't prove it). Since you're white, you should be fine. In any case the regular police can't...
