I played my PS3 copy like it was the only game I owned. Getting all the red rings in City Escape was a nightmare all onto itself. Gens is the best boost game by a wide mile.

AND THEN THEY MADE IT BETTER WITH SHADOW GENERATIONS HELL YEAH

(also a bunch of people couldn't afford to immediately jump to the next generation so you actually had the arcades function as an in between as well, where you might own a Mega Drive, play some 3D games in the arcade, then if you were lucky you got a PS1 four years into its life)

Hm yeah buuuuuut this kinda does omit the stuff in between. I imagine PC gamers of the time saw a much more gradual transition, going from Wolfenstein to Doom to Quake. Heck, even if you take something like Starfox and Starfox 2, the leap wasn't actually this jarring.

Came here to see if anyone else was experiencing this, seems something has gone wrong, probably just a massive unexpected volume of holiday traffic/gift processes

Ever since I started walking more for my health, the value of a decent pair of socks that don't slip under your ankle and can handle 6000 steps a day has quintupled.

11 hours is rough. I am genuinely sympathetic to the Rise Of Lyric team, they had some truly unreasonable demands placed on them, but I can't help but feel like it was ultimately for the best since Sonic Boom as a concept was just so poorly thought out.

I am convinced a big part of the reason these wealthy founder-types love AI so much is because it eats at them that they have no real cultural abilities. they have given it all up for the Grind, and AI promises them the ability to feel like they can gain back some of what they lost

Also, they shoulda kissed.

I adore Shovel Knight, but I ended up playing zero of the follow up games. Just felt like they kept making stuff I wasn't interested in, a weird roguelike, a weird puzzle game, adding a multiplayer fighting mode... I want Mina to come out and be good.

IDK. There's also a very annoying type of person that I used to encounter when I was still on Facebook, the kind to remind you constantly that they didn't watch some popular thing, like GoT or Harry Potter, and they were always fucking insufferable. I'd rather be an annoying fan than that person.

They will literally use the fact that a trans woman took fifth place from a mediocre swimmer as justification to why we should be made into second class citizens, and we're supposed to humour and debate this like it's not ignorant bullshit.

Like academically? Either way, good luck, survived a hell week of my own not too long ago. Always remember, survival is progress!

It is deeply unfortunate that electricity and bandwidth is wasted on serving telegraph articles on the internet.

Collect your cheque, they wanna play stupid games, they should win some stupid prizes.

That's usually when I abandon a live service game, shows me either the match making algorithm is out of whack or time has filtered out all the casuals. It's why YGO Master Duel is insufferable rn but Slopnic Rumble is in a decent state (playerbase wise, not mtx wise)

guy in second place says guy in first place should stop running so fast

Considering Tim Sweeney thinks we should abandon the entire system of music notation and replace it with a piano roll because he's too lazy to learn why it's more efficient at putting notes on a page, maybe Tim Sweeney should shut his pie hole about anything that isn't selling Vbucks.

Crunchy is doing shitty AI subtitles, Amazon is doing shitty AI dubs, if streamers could stop using AI to ruin the anime they licensed, that would be great.

Terrible dub CC on Crunchy is why I've been sub only for the most part, and I always suspected them of using YouTube style text to speech for the dub CC but to just have it confirmed as AI is kinda wild. Crunchy keeps giving us less than bare minimum.
