i toooooooooo thought VA-11 HALL-A

this will be mine

We've reached peak hipster people.

That's the question.
But keeping in mind how l̶a̶z̶y̶ slow GOG can be with patches ( at least the offline installers )...mumble...mumble..

To be fair, Breja wrote that he did not like the looks of the game (including that it relies on pixelated graphics), not that it is good, bad, crap or whatever. That was your addition. Surely he has a right to say if he likes the looks of a game or not?.

Just wondering.

"Hipster-ness" implies that he's against the concept as well. Hence Mr. Mumbles' reply.

This entire thread and not once has anyone made a joke about Linda Richman. :(

I loved Valhalla but I'm unsold on this. However, I'd be extremely interested in impressions and reviews from people who have actually worked in coffee shops and other retail customer service positions in the food industry. The cartoon SNATCHER bar in Valhalla was kind of its own fantasy, so that allowed me to suspend my disbelief over the reality of real lfie bartending, but this one seems like it's trying to be relatively more down to earth in a contemporary Urban Fantasy setting, so idk if it'd do the reality of a barista job any justice. It might be a Seattle thing too, idk. I wouldn't enjoy this if it was insensitive by romanticizing The Retail Reality.

All I can think of is the line from Ghost World: "Some people are OK, but mostly I just feel like poisoning everybody."

The premise of this game might very well be a sketch in Portlandia (you know, the tv series).

That said, probaly agent Cooper would approve it. Just make sure there is cherry pie to go with the coffee as well.

Listening to people's inane problems while sipping overpriced coffee: the videogame. Sounds like all my existential nightmares come true! At least Va11Hallabaloo had booze to numb the pain of experiencing second hand first world problems.

Getting into the mood:

All those customers.

And also...

All those baristas.

Edit: oops, old thread, I didn't notice.

Just finished the demo, looks interesting, graphics and music are cool.

I downloaded the demo to see if strychnine is an option. (It isn't.)

Big thanks to the devs for releasing a demo!
Wish more devs would do the same, it's a good practice :c
