I clicked on this because I’ve enjoyed your previous articles, despite not having heard of Gardiner before. Maybe it’s just the kind interests we Lemmy users have, but he’s ticking every box for the kind of thing I like to read!
And even more so that you’d trust it would be worth a read purely because my other posts have been a nice read! That is so nice to read - thank you!
I find I check in with Gardiner’s blog each day now, I love clean and ‘pure’ sites and articles where the intention isn’t affiliate links or ads, or begging for new Patreon supporters…just the topic at hand!
This looks like Silent Hill or maybe a Resident Evil so Imma go out on a limb and guess that Japanese developers don’t know how much gas actually costs here.
Or, if this is indeed Silent Hill 2, they’re using average prices of the Eastern US from back in the 70s/80s, where the game is set (according to the dev; shit looks more like the 90s to me). 🤷🏻♂️
Resident Evil takes place in 1998, and apparently the average cost was $1.06 per gallon at the time. Obviously, they just put the average price on the sign rather than deviating from it a little bit for realism, but it does look fairly accurate. Apparently it was $1.23 the year before and $1.17 the year after so it wasn’t always that nice.
Rozwala mnie cały ten Ezra Klein do którego podkastu mnie tu namawiali. Posłuchałam trochę i w sumie to co rozmawia z jakimś ekonomistą to opowiada o tym jak bardzo jest przeciwko deficytowi budżetowemu i jakie to smutne że USA traci hegemonię na świecie. A i tak uchodzi tam za radykalnie lewackiego jak na standardy NYT.
Whole Lee Shit jazz jackrabbit brings back memories. I remember my first time playing it at a friend of the family’s house, there was a dude there talking shit about how Windows was for lazy people (I was very young and windows was still kinda newish)
But how dare you not include OpenMW! Imagine having an og Xbox masterpiece on your phone, and you can mod it!
My list focus more on PC Games source ports/remakes etc. but the “Addendum Console Games” it’s in this list (with many others) github.com/…/awesome-unofficial-pc-ports
I’ve managed to get Cryostasis working, and for a game over a decade old, it’s a lot of fun. Great atmosphere, interesting mechanics, fascinating story, the whole package.
