Yes, but also:

And the journals quickly recognized her expertise.

So no crying historians in that story. She researched, proposed an article and the community said: “Good idea!” The whole “Oh, all those fine scientists laughed about the average joe/jane!” is just a common tale in those stories.

Let’s lick it first, then piss on it to prevent counter-licking.

I declare ownership of this car!

…

That’s how it works, right?

So, it’s a Butt-Hydra?

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

Ok, die t-online-Umfrage ist doch genauso Grütze, dass sie direkt die Narrative mitliefert.

Wo ist meine Antwort: “Ja, weil es in Zukunft den Wohlstand Deutschlands sichert”? Nein, es muss unbedingt impliziert werden, dass E-Autos Deutschland ruinieren werden.

Actually, they working on the microbe stage for years now, but their goal is actually the whole Spore experience.

¿ke?

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”.

That’s because our all file systems are god’s trash can.

Da sich die Union in der Opposition befindet, nutzt sie den Bundesrat, um Pläne der Regierung zu verhindern oder zu verzögern.

The part with “menaces with spikes” sounds more like Dwarf Fortress

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

… und sich beim Umwenden direkt ärgern kann, dass “die doch den fleißigen Deutschen die Arbeit klauen!”

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

I played Monster Sanctuary for quite some time and found it quite charming. I don’t know how it compares to Casette Beasts though.
