Shouldn't there be an investigation if he's confessing stuff like this on X? It's far from the worst thing he's done, but if someone is bragging about committing fraud, that feels like it should be used as evidence.

Best I can do is a gif, but hopefully it works.

Agreed, but the ambition in what they did deliver is undeniable and I admire what they were attempting to do even if it wasn't realistically in scope. Aside from a few annoying dungeons and platforming sections, it's aged pretty well too.

happen. It seems like with something like textures it would be easier to just use a solid color or gradient instead of some ai generated asset for the same reason, and I don't understand why they didn't just do that instead. I don't understand game development I guess.

This is all valid, and now I'm wondering if anything else slipped through and wasn't patched out. What I work on websites and when we use placeholder assets, we use either lorum ipsum latin text or plain box images so it's easy to see what is and what isn't a placeholder to make sure this doesn't...

I still have my original copy, and I treasure it.

Congratulations!

We watch A Muppet Christmas Carol often this time of year, and I felt the same way about Scrooge. Sure he's a miser, but he also walks through the town where dozens of Muppets sing about what an asshole he is and he just keeps walking like he can't hear them.

Good to know! If it's compatible with the Steam Deck, I might add it into my current rotation. And if not I'll install it on my laptop, but I don't game on it as much.

I need to play the newer Divinity games. I played the older ones from GOG, and the 2 newer ones are still in my backlog.

You can't be objective about something like war. Especially with a hobby as frivolous as retro gaming. Not promoting a war monger is as easy as not taking their money and writing about anything else.

In the back of my mind I've always assumed that people are also outraged at all kinds of things that they don't want to post about. Some people worry about their accounts getting too negative and bringing people down, but in the climate of 2025 there is a hell of a lot to be outraged about.

I want to know how much money Modretro threw at Retro Dodo for them to write this article. It's sad, this was one of my favorite handheld sites/channels until they started praising this thing. And it's not even a good Gameboy clone. The Analogue Pocket and Funny Playing GBC are both way better.

😄No, it was so long ago I forgot what I ordered. I think I was planning to get the lite, but that might have been after when my bonus came from work and I used that small windfall to get a Max instead. The storage on the Max is really useful!
