Yes, because the developers working on hair physics were definitely the same people that would have otherwise been working on narrative design.

On the other hand, it’s only 26 pages per issue. Tons of space for a deep dive if covering just one game, but only a fraction of a normal magazine, so the value proposition is different.

That said, I do agree - it’s a bold choice. Normally the appeal of a magazine like Retro Gamer is that they cover so many topics per issue that you’re bound to find at least one or two interesting articles. By focusing on just one game, it’s much more likely that you’re alienating a majority of potential readers each time and failing to build a consistent audience.

Yep, from what I’ve seen the base model is actually great value, especially for an Apple product. But that value disappears very quickly if you want to boost any of the specs, because they still massively overcharge for upgrades.

Great! It’s a shame the remasters still suck.

I wouldn’t even mind that much, but they removed the actual originals from sale completely, so this crappy cash-grab is the only official way to buy them now.

‘No, no! I said you should try covering it in RICE!’

Seems very unlikely this is a rights expiry issue, so I would imagine they’re clearing out to make way for new ports at some point next year.

Because Windows doesn’t support OS-wide text formatting/manipulation like macOS does.

The system already existed in macOS so it was easy enough to plug writing tools into it, but to do the same in Windows would mean completely rewriting how Windows handles text display and editing (and no doubt causing an avalanche of compatibility issues with old apps).

Onward isn't licensing every single one of Microsoft's computer peripherals. Some classics, like the Intellimouse or its modern iterations, for example, don't make the Incase reboot list.

That sucks - the Intellimouse Pro from a few years ago was a fantastic mouse.

Where does it say they want to ban vaping outside schools & hospitals? This is specifically about smoking.

You didn’t read the article, did you?

I’ll believe it when I see it. Jameis is an obvious upgrade over Watson, but he’s still a known quantity: someone who will match every great throw with a boneheaded play soon after.

Because it has a library of interesting and innovative exclusives, making use of an unusual control input. Whether that makes it worth it or not is personal preference, but you can’t disagree that it offers something unique.
