This is a big subject in France right now (le monde is a French newspaper) because a very common French drug brand was recently sold to American investors: https://www.lemonde.fr/en/france/article/2024/10/14/sale-of-french-painkiller-to-american-firm-sparks-uproar_6729399_7.html
Aw man, that’s not it but the game style looks the same, I’ll have to look around and see if there are sequels/ports/knockoffs. Thanks!
There’s this game on the original macintosh that’s been my white whale for decades. A samurai/ninja game with a heroes of might and magic style overworld map and and a fighting game style screen with a dense bamboo forest in the background. I’ve gone through a bunch of archives and I just can’t seem to find it
It’s just a conversation bud, I don’t disagree with op’s point, just adding another perspective. You can grow dependent on your tools just like you can use them to better yourself.
Someone’s got a case of the grumpy-poos ☹️
Here’s something I’ve been thinking about. I’ve been playing through some need for speed games on emulators for the past few years. Once I bound keys to save and load states it was over: I’d save-state before every turn and run them over and over until I got them perfect. Doing this I did eventually learn the maps really well though, and on more recent playthroughs I’ve barely used save-states, which was obviously far more satisfying. I realize this isn’t the same thing as ai or walkthroughs, but I think maybe these tools do share something in that they lower the barrier to entry to different sorts of skilled tasks we may not yet feel competent to accomplish. Like training wheels or a helping hand, we can let go of them once we feel steadier on our own.
Don’t give in to the haters, em dashes for life
