Nioh?

This contest needs an entry!

So I decided to take matters into my own hands, and put my lack of creativity to the test. And make a GUI that matches the icons.
Here it is:

The only original part in it, is the button used for the scroll bar.
So with that in mind, if anyone wants to remix it, be my guest.

Definitely a huge improvement.

Does anyone still think America haven't shot themselves in the foot?

Well I remember wanting to wait and see if Trump was going to be a terrible president. Because at the time all we had to go on was his election campaign, and I felt as though people were being too quick to judge.

Since then though, I've realised all of those people were absolutely right in their presumptions.

I really dislike getting achievements for simply reaching a certain distance in the game. I feel as though they're a little patronising, and are a very lazy attempt at making achievements.

Well, it depends on the game. Reaching a higher level in a tricky rogue-like, for instance, may prove to be as difficult to achieve as some of the more obscure tasks in otherwise linear games.

That is definitely true, but in that case it's more like getting a highscore, and the achievement is merely showing that.
And honestly, despite my previous statement, I do like it when I get an achievement for completing a game. So maybe I should have included a little asterisk when I wrote that.

But at the same time, I feel the need to express my opinion that achievements shouldn't be in EVERY SINGLE GAME.
Something I've noticed no one talking about on this thread, is how achievements can break immersion in some games. For example, let's imagine for a second if achievements were around when Silent Hill 2 was released. Could you imagine wandering around that game, the siren going off, the background changing, and monsters shambling into view, and then suddenly... DING! Achievement unlocked!

I don't know if you can turn achievements off on Steam, but I know you can't do it on a PlayStation (or at least it's not obvious as to how). And something like that can really ruin immersion. I don't think Silent Hill 2 would have been as good of a game as it is, had it had achievements. As a matter of fact, there's probably quite a few old games which I think are better simply because they don't have achievements.

Obviously I can think of a few old games which would have been improved with achievements, Tomb Raider for example. But most of the games that I look back at with fond memories, I'm glad were made before achievements were a thing.

Great Expectations?

[Deadlight: Director's Cut]

Deadlight: Director's Cut is currently free on GOG.com.

However, after I upgraded to Win7, I found M$Pain updated as well(possibly done since VISTA, but VISTA is rubbish that I never even touched)

It was changed in Windows 7. Vista just had a slightly more graphical version of the good old version of MS Paint. I'd actually recommend it over the XP version.
That being said, I don't blame you for having never touched the rubbish that is Vista.

To restore the original M$Pain experience, just search for "Paint XP" and every problem is solved. I think you may still run the original executable from XP if it's still lying around.

Hey, that's what I do.

therefore you must now

Something to think about.  That'd make a great challenge to go along with MAGS... make up a REALLY cool game with fun references (cultural, science, story-telling, etc.) that would DEFINITELY get the Game Theorists' attention.

Impossible. I can think of a few games that definitely should have gotten the Game Theorists' attention, but never did. Simply because they weren't popular enough.

So unless you've got a plan for that, that would work for adventure games. I'm afraid it simply can't happen.

Thank God for subtitles! Cause it really looks like "1, 2, 3 .... breeeed!" ~ "I'm over here, Walter!"

I think that's funnier than the actual joke.

King's Quest VII?

Vikings?
