Not sure I understand. Does it only count the first creature you scan on a planet? Or the first creature you scan at all?

I guess in both cases I'll wait for a fix, even if you get one chance per planet I don't like these odds.

Those aren't really FOMO in my opinion, more like being curious about what the praise was about. It's trying new stuff, and rather healthy I'd say, even if you realize some of those really weren't for you in the end. Yeah, I had quite a few of those too.

To me, FOMO would be anxiety about stuff that you really can miss "forever" and regret afterwhile.

In games, it's weaponized with artificially limited stuff because whoever is pulling the string wants you to fear a missed opportunity and make an impulse decision.

It's stuff like preorder "bonuses" you will never have another chance to get otherwise, time-limited content, battlepasses, daily rewards etc.

One of the most pathetic recent example I can think of being Nintendo making the translation of a 1990 Famicom game available only for a couple months. "Quick, buy Fire Emblem now, before it disappears forever!!!"

😁 Sorry not sorry!

Nah, I wouldn't even wish it gone, really. I just couldn't care even a bit about anything they had to show that day.

BG&E was that charming single-player adventure game, with quirky and lovable characters and a tiny handcrafted universe. And with a non-ending that begged for a direct sequel.

What they showed in that E3 preview was yet another freaking Ubisoft open-world. It was supposed to be planet-level huge, because of course it was powered by boring procedural bullshit. It was always online, multi-player oriented, and "if you really want it, you could play it alone, but why would you?"

Oh, and it was a prequel with different characters, because fuck your closure I guess.

That was me, too.

And then, 6 years ago when they showed it at E3 : "Wait, what?... Uh, I'm good Ubisoft, I don't need whatever this is anymore."

And then of course it disappeared again anyway.

You got me briefly wondering what Three-Body Problem's search function meant.

What is it with Spielberg finishing Kubrick's stuff? No disrespect to either, but it's not like their works are very similar.

Those cars cause a lot of shit apparently. Worst of all they are a liability around emergency vehicles. If this is a way of protesting that, I get it.

Long ago I watched the anime based on Tales of Eternia (the Namco "Tales of" game that was also called Tales of Destiny 2 in the US for no good reason, it's not a sequel).

The anime is awkwardly shoehorned in a very specific and inconsequential part of the game (like, one that would last about 2 minutes). Nothing meaningful really happens in the series. Because of the way it's framed, I also estimate its entertainment value for someone who didn't play the game at basically zero.

Oh yeah, there's a freaking swimming contest out of nowhere at one point. Women only of course. I'm sure it had nothing to do with having female characters in swimsuits for a while.

That certainly was one of the anime series of all time.

It'd look better. Even with the struts out.

10 micron tolerance is rather impressive for a mashed potato sculpture.

I'm sure he did pretend it was, though.

Probably any less flattering pic of him (so all of them).
