I remember when a fairly robust mid-range card USED to cost around $350 NEW (which outside of your CPU was your most expensive component)
THIS is WHY I don't game on PC anymore, it's truly insane where prices have gotten & how long the tech doesn't last before it's outdated, I just can't anymore🤨😐

That's one thing I've always appreciated about Clyde's work, is showcasing the SUBTLE differences between the translations
But also showing that a LOCALIZATION is just that NOT a literal translation 1:1 of the original JPN to ENG
Since it actually has you know heart & soul added into it, which is

Well after doing the research, I pulled the trigger & bought an AYN Thor
Found a nice dock Skull & Co Jumpgate
And will use an extra PS4 controller via bluetooth with it
So now I can play my 3DS games on the big screen with it so my poor eyes don't have to suffer anymore😅

They're still charging essentially $2 a game, but the digital bundle is still regular priced at $40, even with a $10-15 up cost, this feels excessive
I'd consider double dipping if it were at $35/40 but at 60 that's hard to do, I don't even own it digitally on multiple systems (same here too

Sega Visions did at least one (if not two) articles mentioning Mr. Rosen & how Service Games merged with his company Rosen Enterprises to become Sega
After I read the news last night, it reminded me of this article & how important he was to shaping what became Sega what it is today, RIP, Mr. Rosen.

Everybody flipping about LRG, since they announced this in 2024🙄
No one else is going to be releasing this
Like I said after the Fairhurst news it seems to be hate just to be to be hatin' at this point because everyone else is doing it
Gets to be a broken record, either buy their crap or don't

Thanks for confirming this elsewhere Douglas 😉, glad to know it for sure now
Since I speculated it would be NONE or FEW, so I was pretty close to the mark
So anyone hoping for Bravely Default, Raidou Remastered, (name any GKC) being re-released, set your expectations in check

Interesting they did a sale on Steam, but not on the DRM free version🤨
Supposedly the guy arguing with me the other day said the Steam version doesn't have DRM (outside of the Steam client itself)
But now the only version that was totally clean of DRM can only be gotten if you 🏴☠️😐

Want to expand upon this post as I saw the occasion mention of Rondo of Blood while scrolling comments tonight...
I went to look at the available numbers to see the viability of the project aka how much $$$ it would make if released
This is based on what Kenji Eno's D (3DO) did that was released

Re: Neo Geo ACA Hamster Collections

Seems strange they'd release this & even w/two of them it would only hold what has been released (10 vols.) & yet wouldn't hold the final game (Vol. 11)
I seriously hope that aren't considering bailing on the FINAL 10 games missing

Also as I said in my other post, they have enough lined up for at least 2 years worth of product, so after that point is when his influence on projects will be noticed since the successors who took over would be making those calls
We'll also see if other boutique labels step up or if LRG will

6)not to twist the knife for those still waiting, but at this point unless Krafton FINALLY announces it, don't hold out hope LRG's going to do this
Same with Rondo of Blood on PC Engine, especially after that issue with D on 3DO & the burned discs (which they fixed) it wouldn't be profitable to do

Want to elaborate here, really quickly as I've seen Clear River Games (another Embracer subsidiary) provide a lot of content for themselves & LRG to release & I expect them to continue to do so
So we'll see possibly them taking a more direct role in positioning titles for release the CRG/LRG in '26
So we'll see possibly them taking a more direct role in positioning titles for release the CRG/LRG in '26
2)whether or not behind the scenes they continue that momentum without the final founding member, I can't say, the next two years should show if LRG has legs to stand on it's own w/o Josh guiding things as it has beared things w/o Douglas since his departure, so time will tell here
