I’d say remaster to remake exists on spectrum. On one side you can have a “strict” remaster with graphical / modern compatibility updates and bugfixes, on the other side you can have what is essentially a different game, but one with common gameplay/themes/narrative. And then you have everything in-between.

Haven’t played the original, so it’s difficult for me to accurately judge, but I think this is some what universal.

There were several games like that for me when I was growing up in the 90s and early 2000s. :)

Even FB games are having a retro revival moment! 2007 was almost 20 years ago!

Who is downvoting this? It’s an excellent (and funny) long form interview/discussion.

I’ve actually tested several of their alpha releases over the years, I never knew they were from Malaysia.

I wish the setting was based in Malaysia too.

Will try it out! Cheers!

Not at all, but I do like to improve the graphics, add minor expansions, combine New Vegas (the in-game city) into a more coherent whole, and add UI/UX improvements and a whole lot more.

Perhaps things are easier these days, but it took a lot of time to make everything work well the last time I replayed New Vegas.

This sounds awesome!

This looks cool!

Haha, mask off, eh?

The one where the USSR invaded the Baltic nations and Poland. Not mention mass killing, deportation of local population and attempts at exterminating local culture to replace it with russians.

You online commie roleplayers are so boring! You spam the same dull copytext/images.

But the cherry on top is how it so clear how you have no fucking clue what you’re talking about.

There is a high likelihood you’ve never even been to say Estonia or Poland. You’ve probably never even spoken to a Danish or Latvian person in your life (let alone being friends with them)!

You just found some regressive gibberish online and are parroting it in some fucked up online roleplay thing.

Totally! I was fascinated by their statement that no one in Hungary wanted to not be dominated by a blood-thirsty, genocidal regime that collaborated with the Nazis to split up Europe.

I mean look how well things worked out for Hungary under Soviet dominance! Excellent quality of life for the next 40 years!

The GIA even forced hundreds of thousands of Hungarians out of their homes and into Austria (and to a lesser extent Yugoslavia) to give legimacy to their “coup” that was definitely not a mass movement for self-determination!

The funny thing is even the pro-putin russians would be extremely suspicious of the tankie rhetoric (while appreciating the support for gencidal imperialism and rejection of self-determination for occupied nations) due to sheer level of disconnection from reality.

Now cite CIA article about how food quality in 80s USSR was better than the US.

This is typical tankie “BIA conspiracy” gibberish, albeit with a more cunning duplicitousness.

I’ve lived in 5 countries across 3 continents, so I do have some perspective on this.

The first point is finding out local immigration laws, even if you don’t need a tourist visa, you will need legal authorization to stay in a country on a more permanent basis.

Which brings me to my second point, you need local employment to get authorization for permanent stay (or proof of above average independent income).

Another option is to go study in a country. This is expensive and you will need to win scholarships if you don’t have a lot of money. Countries always try to make money on foreign students.

Another option is to teach English, but this is likely harder than it used to be (15 years ago or so). Although it is worth exploring this opportunity, unlikely to work for EU though.

Do you have any relatives in other countries? Close friends?

I will speculate it’s going to be difficult to move to Netherlands if you don’t have family or a skillset that is in high demand.

I would explore developing countries where you can likely get a good job (by local standards, so $1,000 to $2,500) if you have a degree and some solid work experience.

CIA backed coup attempt

Haha

Very cool!

I believe Cyberpunk 2077 was a success. 35 million units and $750+ M revenue.

Haha, that’s pretty shit level software. Usually it took a little bit more effort than that to just kill it in task manager.

Very 80s/90s cybperunk.
