"Mark Zuckerberg is all-in on AI as the new social media " -- He was also all in on VR being the future... how did that work out? He is the typical idiot who got lucky and now thinks it was his genius.

So ... the sleazy text adventure is actually set in a postapocalyptic 2020. And although the skies are not green (neither in reality nor in the game) I think this is an inside joke decades in the making. :)

Wrong! As historians know, the original Larry in 1987 was a graphical remake of the Sierra game "Softporn Adventure", a text adventure from 1981, adding the main character and being a legend due to its cover.

We're so accustomed to prices always increasing that we forget that much of software should actually get CHEAPER over time.

Cloud costs are going down and companies often have less new stuff to add, hence lower development costs. Also, as they get more customers, they can spread those fixed costs out more.

Instead we get increases because we're trapped & can't switch.

New episode in my adventure game podcast about "Star Trek Resurgence".

After 60 mins in German you can listen to an interview in English with Lead Writer Dan Martin who offered some insights about how working with that franchise was.

Heading to Gamescom tomorrow - on Wednesday. Wave if you see me. Or, you know, say hi.

Will mostly be in hall 10.2 where you can check out the upcoming hit game "Drova", a lot of adventure games and retro stuff.
