Resident Evils 1, 2, and 3 plus Breath of Fire 4 are now on Steam for $5 a pop, and riddled with really bad DRM. When I got Dino Crisis a while back I had to spend 45 minutes trying to get it to run in Linux (lotta fucking around in Protontricks and Winetricks and doing some regedits) and it ran like shit the few times I got it to actually boot up and refunded it.

Anyway just a PSA to, uh, not buy them. Or just get them on GOG without DRM (GOG versions are also updated, which these aren’t?).

Or just emulate them. Fuck it.

“While it loses points for not engaging in a strong emotional core like its predecessor, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie racks up some extra lives by stuffing Easter eggs into the runtime to the point of bursting,” we wrote in IGN’s Super Mario Galaxy Movie review, awarding the film a 6/10 score. “It’s fun seeing all that stuff on screen, but without some kind of relatable story thriving underneath those references, it’s not as effective as it could be.”

Damn, Mario 2 has even less of a story than Mario 1? Brutal

It turns out SoulGame Studio developer SĂ©verin Larose, one half of the indie duo that developed Minishoot’ Adventure, is not a supervillain who chose confounding grammar as his instrument of destruction.

He’s just French.

“To try and ease your bafflement I can only add that my attempt was to contract both Minimalist AND Shooter to create a portmanteau word: so Minimalist became mini, and Shooter became shoot’. Like rolling could become rollin’, shooter could become shoot’ right? My mistake was to assume that one could simply add an apostrophe to any word they wanted to shorten, which is, I understand now, non-sensical,” Larose kindly wrote back to my email demanding he explain his crimes.

goofy ass language stuff like this makes me happier than anything. kind of want to adopt this as a rule

I’ve seen the title of that game dozens of times and never noticed the apostrophe

I
he’s not wrong? The problem isn’t with using apostrophe to abbreviate, but that the word “shoot” is itself a word.

It should have been Mini’shoote’.

colloquially, while “shootin’” would be correct, a contraction of “shooter” would most likely have a sound that replaces the -er, mostly because “shoote’” is a pronunciation nightmare whereas “shoota” retains the base sound while shortening it and also imitates how a lot of people are saying “shooter” anyway
