I just beat it yesterday and while I really enjoyed 95% of what the game had to offer I found a few things very frustrating.

1 - The lack of depth shading in the map. If locations beneath other locations grew darker that thing would be so much easier to look at but as it is everything just blends together. This makes navigation extremely tedious on your first playthrough as you have no idea where you're going and often where you've been. This game might overstay it's welcome because of this issue but I suppose subsequent playthroughs would go a bit breezier.

2 - The screw attack requires too much precision to execute but is required to access many areas. I feel like this is too forgiving a

Whenever the subject of AI, automation, and robots comes up Terminator is inevitably always mentioned. If that's the go-to poster child for humanity's future with AI and robotics doesn't it stand to reason that many powerful people would have a vested interest in making 'Terminator' into the most non-threatening concept they can? Food for thought.

I quit both. Caffeine nearly 11 months ago and nicotine nearly 10 months ago.

I feel like I very rarely have symptoms of caffeine PAWS anymore but I'm still getting phantom cravings for nicotine every few days that are strong but fleeting. To top that off sometimes it's coupled with a lack of mental clarity/difficulty focusing, especially in the morning.

For awhile I thought this was still caffeine post acute withdrawal symptoms but I don't think so anymore. I never get cravings for caffeine, just nicotine.

Luckily I can easily ignore the craving or even 'satisfy' it with hot herbal tea, but I was wondering if anyone else has had this experience? I never studied up on nicotine cessatio

    1. SkyNET sends Terminators back to WW2 to alter the course of history but who's side are they on?

 

  • 2. In 2027 multiple competing corporations across the globe gain access to SkyNET's data/Terminator blueprints and begin manipulating world events.

 

  • 3. Post Future War society attempts to rebuild in the middle of a global conflict between a cult of Neo-Luddites and a cult of SkyNET worshippers.

Much like Alien was. Say what you will but he's pretty good at these kinds of things and we all know Skydance is just going to botch it again. I'd rather get some urbanized take I know will at least be respectful of the audience than another Poochy attempt to capture "what's hot right now?"

Hey guys, sorry if it's a stupid question but I'm kinda new to MiSTer and was wondering where it will go in 5 to 10 years time. Do you think there will be something like a MiSTer 32 or MiSTer 64 that will push cores for later 3D hardware?

Also, do you think the recent experimental 16:9 widescreen hacks will ever make their way to FPGA based emulation? It would be weird and wild to see something like Strider or Double Dragon arcade running accurately except filling a modern aspect ratio.

Thanks for your time!
