Yup, absolutely! Something like 15 - 32 should be fitting.

So, add some Romulan blood for that sweet copper.

A maintenance job on a foreign space station with questionable technical standards and used as a slave labor camp just a year ago. I think he expected some challenge but more of the technical kind than just straight up torture.

the word “yoink,” a coinage of Meyer’s, which characters sometimes utter in the act of snatching something

That implies invention by Meyer, doesn’t it?

Yeah, absolutely right. “X is like a new part of Y” must make sense for being a successor. Nobody will say “Last of Us is just like Uncharted IV”!

But you would not argue that F:NV is the spiritual “successor” to those movies just because they were referenced.

If I didn’t know about Hotline Miami and you told me about like: “It’s like somebody made a new Hitman game!” I would be completely lost playing the game. Whole different perspective, style, flow. IMO being a “successor” implies more than just similar elements or references.

That said, wtaching out for examples I do not find so many other, that I think are similiarly weak as the Hitman/Hotline one. So it may be the exception in the list.

The used definition is sometimes really broad here. I mean, ok, Dead Space to Callisto Protocol or Titan Quest to Grim Dawn is obvious but Hotline Miami is the Spiritual Successor to Hitman because… you are have to kill people and when you fail you go try again? Very weak. Just being influenced or having a vaguely similar theme shouldn’t make it a “successor”.

It’s going to be an indepedent new story with a new protagonist, according to an article on RPS.

Ha, They just won’t count watching ads as waiting time.

So they aren’t vampires? Huh.

For now the manufacturers themselves see their market mainly in african and middle-eastern countries. So maybe not even the nearest wind farm depending on where you live.

I am pretty sure the woman in the comic is the self-insert of the creator and they think it is funny that people have an extreme reaction to the author’s minor infraction and that you should let people live their lives.

Is it, though? Fascism often fixates on the strong leader who is going to fix everything. Electing someone and giving them and their party almost all possible power in you legislative system goes a long way in that direction.

Started Noita again. Got to the Mushrooms but got thrashed by a Pikkuturso. Good times.
