You’d think so; but this was my first time attending! If the universe doesn’t bring us together before next year’s I’m very much looking forward to seeing you then!

I’m so bummed, I would have loved to see you.

I had an absolutely amazing time at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo yesterday. I came away with a great pile of games. Most of these are games that I owned previously and lost/sold and rebuilding my collection is one of the most rewarding things I’ve done in recent history. 💜 retro

A photo of several video games laid out on a table. Left to right are
Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt for NES (it’s loose and the rest are in boxes),
Kingdom Hearts for PS2,
WWE Smackdown: Shut Your Mouth for PS2,
Disney’s Aladdin for SNES,
Devil May Cry (Greatest Hits) for PS2,
Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses for PS2,
Super Smash Bros, for WiiU for WiiU,
and Grand Theft Auto III (Greatest Hits) for PS2

Her hair is shoulder-length and curves round her face. She has a purple choker on with big silver bell, and a lilac purple sailor outfit with dark purple accents and a big dark purple bow on the front.

That’s what I’m saying! I grew up poor, I don’t take any resource for granted. And pun accepted.

you don't need a formal diagnosis to be autistic, you just need to meet the entirety of the required diagnosis criteria. you would have been born autistic

This is the correct take and I'm glad that Scott took the time to post this. Hate speech has no place in Retro gaming.

Newly created romhacks are not 'gaming history', there is no argument to be made for preservation. If you're a chud that is hurt by this decision, seek therapy.

I was also excited for Shadows and also didn’t play it haha but I almost never pick up recent games and I do plan to get to it eventually. I know I hope they can do something legally distinct, that just sounds so interesting.

Giving Ubisoft as much of the benefit of the doubt as I possibly can, I get the impression that they’re not a position to be taking any kind of financial risks. Even so, god damn that sucks.
