Finished the original Red Faction today.

I had played a demo of the game (the one with the giant glass house as a tech demo) a long time ago, and I've been on kind of a retro boomshoot kick lately, so

It's a bit too tough towards the end but otherwise it's pretty damn solid

I like how the SG-1000 and ColecoVision are placed in different generations, despite being released less than a year apart with identical hardware

I get it, the NES was a paradigm shift in the west, and the SG-1000 came out on the same day as the Famicom, but it just shows how silly the concept is

Honestly the way Wikipedia defines generations of gaming consoles is stupidly convoluted and needs to be changed

I keep confusing them even now, such as me thinking the 360/PS3/Wii was the sixth generation

Was looking at a previous article I wrote late last year for something, and saw something that bothered me.

Now I'm editing out every time I referred to gaming generations by Wikipedia's goofy standards and replacing it with the platform or era instead (i.e. "Xbox 360 era" instead of "7th gen")

New on the Secret Area, it's Cold Fear.

A Resident Evil-inspired survival horror game made by the folks who made Alone in the Dark: A New Nightmare. And it's surprisingly alright!

Shares and comments appreciated, as always.

been having some toast with a blueberry fig jam my friend made per his suggestion and it's pretty good

I was told to try it on ice cream as well, which I may definitely consider

🟠Hey do you like our threads we post on here? specifically ones about Binging With Babish or Ghost Files? Do you want to read nearly 2000 words about both shows & the youtube content machine? Well, we wrote them & you can read them here:

I don't know if I'm gonna keep these cameras, I'd feel more comfortable giving them to a friend or two who's more into film photography. At least then I'd know they'd have a good home

Might keep the Cybershot, cause filming stuff on old video cameras is always neat

My dad's been doing a bit of cleaning and found three cameras: a Sony Cybershot, a Minolta X-370, and a Fuji 975 zoom.

Which are neat, even though I know very little about photography, especially film photography.
