@gavinh props for being the only one in the comments to give credit to Streets of Fire. People in the NLife comment section act like such experts on everything, and this common knowledge seems to escape them all. Streets of Fire is such an underrated movie that inspired game devs of the late 80s for good reason. That movie kicks ass.

Re: Best Of 2021: The Term 'Indie' Is Losing Meaning, But Maybe That's A Positive Sign

Hear hear! Well put, Tom. We are enjoying a glut of fun indie games right now, (was well as a mess of crap shovelware) but as you pointed out, it may turn out to be at the expense of some smaller, truly independent teams. Certain teams aren't able to keep their seat now that big money is putting their bets on the table. The team that created the wonderful game Aer closed their doors, and though I don't know the full story, it does make me wonder if they are a casualty of the issue this article is about. I hope not.

I've been saying for a long while now that this idea is the next logical iteration of Mario Kart. Randomized stretches of road... non-looping tracks where a track based upon a character theme and a pre-decided distance are chosen. Mario Kart 9

Re: Talking Point: What Would You Like To See From The Animal Crossing Direct?

@Ulysses it sounds like New Horizons is your first AC game. Almost none of your suggestions are things that would help to salvage New Horizons... Instead they would make it feel even less like an Animal Crossing game than it already does for those players that have a history with the previous entries (besides the phone game.)
Nintendo, give AC its soul back, pleeeeze!
