also using this as my soapbox to say— stop calling your rougher/cartoonier/etc art "drawn badly." you made it! you're the only one who CAN make it. who MUST make it, even. if you've been intent behind it, its good. lacking detail doesn't make it bad! be human, be messy!

I've been feeling like this was gonna be coming at any point with the AI bubble.
As the generated content becomes even more pronounced, proudly proclaiming "hey our this is Actually Different, hand crafted and one of a kind" would become the new marketing bullet (which it should!)

This is how I paid $5 for one of the most expensive PS1 games I own

The PS1 port of Strider 2 came with a bonus disc with a port of Strider 1, except the labels got mixed up at the printing plant. So if you get lucky and find a disc only copy of the game labelled "Strider 1" you can save a hilarious amount of money if the seller doesn't know what they have
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

Really wish they'd get the Bravely Default remake on Switch 2, I wanna give that game another honest try, I just don't know I wanna drop the $40 to find out if I still don't like it.

I've never been a huge fan of clothes shopping at Costco cuz the menswear tends to be pretty conservative and dull. I remember seeing a pair of shoes like this and trying them on and immediately realized they were the most "I don't want to think about dressing myself" shoes ever
