As long as there's an auto-advance, I don't mind. If I have to manually advance the text, I might get impatient.

It's called the Asus ROG Xbox Ally X because when you see it, you turn X degrees and walk away

A really funny thing about the worst games thread going around is how many of the truly awful games in there have a 59 on Metacritic

Yesterday, some right-wing ghoul who was suspended for doxxing was immediately unsuspended, seemingly at Elon's request.

I went out of my way to finish Street Fighter 1 and I can assure you, even for historical curiosity, it is not worth it. Awful game that somehow gave birth to something good.

What's the worst game you finished/rolled credits on?

(games media folks, it can't be something you were assigned to review; this has to be something you subjected yourself to of your own free will)

Forgive people, sure, but I'm so tired of the demand that we need to give people a pat on the back for doing to bare minimum of "not being racist", and I'm not even sure most former conservatives have crossed that bar yet

Guy on r/streetfighter picked maybe the worst tattoo you could possibly get from the series lol

I've tried a few gachas but I've never spent any money on them, less out of principle and more because they're just not very interesting. Take the gambling out and you have a boring game.
smellycandle42.bsky.social
For a while, I believed people liked gacha games for their non-gacha features and begrudgingly tolerated the monetization. Some people are like that for sure. But it's increasingly obvious that the gacha (read: gambling) is what a lot of people like about them.

Nobody seems willing to admit it but I really don't think you can separate the increasing coverage of gambling on video game websites from the mainstreaming of gacha and loot boxes.

I can totally believe this happened because one time in junior high on one of the last days of the year, our teacher went on YouTube and searched "the lion king full movie" and clicked on part 1. Instead of following the playlist, she clicked on whatever came recommended, which led to a fan dub

today's coworker had kindergarteners watch 15 minutes of kingdom hearts cutscenes bc she typed in "toy story 3 full movie". she cleaned the entire classroom with no reaction to sora being on the tv and only switched it once she was done. which was also right after the word 'xehanort' was said

Oh cool, an item that permanently raises a party member's stats. I'm sure I'll figure out who I'm going to use that on before completing every single quest in the game

Actually, better explanation: Eurocom previously did the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets game, which Struzan did a poster for. Maybe that put them in contact?

It's odd that it's his only game artwork but it's kind of a natural fit. Spyro has the sense of adventure like the Spielberg movies he did but also cartoon animals like his Muppets work.

Hearing reports that Drew Struzan has died. What a loss. He's known for so much but you can look through his portfolio to find even more than you realized.

Not even the right aspect ratio, smh

Going off the criteria of "playable in the remaster collection" then it is mainline. I just made up this criteria right now however

A fun fact is that Steve Hackett has released a lot of live albums that you can listen to on the music streaming platform of your choice

The demo for Shaun Palmer's Pro Snowboarder included in Pro Skater 3 also doesn't emulate well, albeit nowhere near as bad as this.

If I wanted to know the story of a hotshot video game designer from 43 years ago, I would watch The History of Pitfall! – video game documentary on YouTube

Confession time: I generally do not find Perry Bible Fellowship to be funny. Except for Skub, which is one of the greatest webcomics of all time

I just learned about this somewhat obscure GBA game last night and thought it seemed interesting. This morning, I learn there's a remaster coming. What a coincidence.
