the gulf in quality between will smith's performance and a lot of the supporting cast is sort of surreal. sonny gives a better performance than either of his co-leads

main thing that might ever get me back into playing trails is the idea of seeing angelica and shirley in the same room

i tried reading the hero's journey book once and nobody ever mentioned how much time in it the guy spends talking about how people have lost traditional means of coming of age and we need metaphorical snakes to bite off your foreskin now

i think it really is very funny they decided these were the guys to finish bloodlines 2

its ok i downloaded a cheatengine table to get through it faster. my only regret is i didn't do it earlier to finish within the refund window

my brother's taken the approach of thinking the first soldier guy looks like a dorkus but that the woman soldier being obsessed with samus is woke

the only point i think where that really contextualizes anything is that samus' reaction to ridley is meant to tie back into some of the manga where ridley was more of a fucked up big deal and not a video game boss she wordlessly nuked multiple times

going to drop a mention for studio system guardian angel because that's a dev i legitimately feel for and have been bummed to see talk about struggling to pick up traction. rough but passionate game with beautiful art and would be sad to see them make less

it's important to be mindful of the intersection between a dev complaining because the industry environment makes it difficult for them to get by or even get noticed and a dev complaining because they don't understand how someone could like a video game with ux so much worse than theirs

he's also very vocal about never making gacha games or anything of the like which is why you don't see like, sonic mobage crossovers with gunstar heroes. treasure guy hates the idea of selling out but has mostly only had the resources to do quick and dirty ports for the past couple decades

but also as such everyone involved in making games there drifted away years and years ago as the industry environment made their operations there non viable so now it's just the one guy who registered the name and as such has legal ownership and is dedicated enough to never sell it off

so treasure was formed as a private company for a bunch of ex-konami guys who wanted to collaborate in making games together and as such it's never traditionally died because they have none of the business or financial responsibilities that could lead to that.

seeing there's retroachievements for half-life ps2 they run events for is literally like why. even for the novelty that's... you just shouldn't play that version on anything but a ps2. it's like setting them up for half-life 2 xbox and challenging people to play it on xemu.

there's so many dimensions that keep me from understanding, at least with games like those gba emu is a pretty desirable way to play them. the thing that completely baffles me is when people go out of their way for them for systems you 100% just do not want to emulate them on, that have alternatives

people go out of their way to emulate games, on systems they don't even emulate well for yet, that have separate pc ports that would be a better experience, and can only ask like. why. why are you going out of your way to play the versions of mgs2 and 3 that suck to play on anything but real ps2.

it's something that scares me about seeing retroachievements people

my only thought about tgas is that it's funny people are going to be tricked into watching with the promise of a trailer for a new valve fps that will probably be pretty good but not like the valve fps they made in the 2000s
