Having played every Zelda game except the CD-I ones, Skyward Sword, and the latest two on Switch... The two on DS were absolutely my least-favorite Zeldas. They're like 10 hours long, but feel like they're 30 because they sure are tedious to play. They forced stylus controls with both of them...

Finally watched this (for free), came here to point out how completely blatant of a trans metaphor this is with the colors and the things she's saying. Tons of subliminal messaging with this movie. ...then I get here and find everyone talking about the colors already. Lawl. Yeah it was pretty...

It looks to me like the stupid fucking twerking is probably relegated to cutscenes and interior areas where you can't actually mow everyone down. Wouldn't be surprised at all if the freedom to mow in general was significantly curtailed, but I guess we'll see. If it does let you blast twerkers...

Seems like it. Also the dungeons (1-4, 2-4, etc) seem to take away your special weapons until the level is over, which makes like, zero sense. The eggplant status effect is possibly the most annoying status effect I've ever dealt with in a game, and the game would have been twice as good if it...

I bought Blazing Saddles and a bunch of other classic movies with "problematic language" in recent times. They might be flying under the radar now but fast forward a few years and they're the stupid controversies of 2030.

Finally made some real progress on Kid Icarus this weekend. Not too far from the end I think. Really weird how it gets so much easier as it goes on. Always heard how blisteringly tough the game is, but only World 1 was really blistering. There are only four worlds too. I think the further...

I didn't like Ys IX at all. As someone who has played pretty much the whole series (besides the Japan-only ones) and really loved the 2D Ys games. I basically just found myself lost all the time in Ys IX. And there was so much talking. And they kept cutting back to the prison. And Adol didn't...

What's up with modern Kraft mac n cheese? Back in my day it had a powdered cheese mix that was pretty solid. I get a few boxes out of nostalgia and now most of them have this damn cheese goo paste. It doesn't mix nearly as well as the powder and it tastes a lot more artificial. Worst part is...

It goes beyond that, he's someone who was celebrated as a "good one" in an era where a lot of youtubers ended up having controversies or turned out to be assholes. Everyone who met him had a high opinion of him. Also this cameo in Sea of Stars is going to age really Really Poorly

A bit of an important note for anyone planning to play Dragon Quest 7 on the 3DS (like me). Looks like Nintendo is shutting down the DLC server for it in April 2024. I haven't played it yet so I'm not entirely sure what this means. Will things still be playable if you've accessed them, or will...

As far as my "Fall game lineup" goes... Finished: Like A Dragon Gaiden, Mario Wonder, Assassin's Creed Mirage, Mortal Kombat 1 Working on: Kid Icarus (NES), Spider-Man 2 (eh) Planning to play in Winter: Infinite Wealth, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Dragon Quest 7, Dragon Quest 8, Sekiro

Mariah May has "it"

Finished this game. Really worthwhile for a Yakuza fan, even if it's on the short side. Feels like one last hurrah for the old Yakuza style of game before it goes turn-based. The ending is probably the most powerful moment in the whole series.

It's going to add a ton of replay value to the game and get people into the leveling content again, making the game friendlier to new players. People with box groups will be able to try different combinations. I mean, if this goes off without a hitch / being completely broken, it's a huge net...

KID ICARUS IS SO DIFFICULT. I imagine the Game Boy version is even worse with the smaller screen area. NES-era video games put goddamn hair on your chest.

Yeah, nothing interesting though, he's just really accessible when he shows up at an event. If one talks to him it's almost unbelievable that he'd engage in any shady shit because he's so damn...wholesome. That said, I don't know how much of it is an act, given that if you go back and watch his...

I get the same vibe I get from her that I get from Margot Robbie, that she's sort of an "it girl" for the Epstein crowd / people that control the entertainment industry. Her success / level of being "in everything" is not proportional to her talent or popularity.

I feel like this movie is gonna end up being some kind of election metaphor. Immortan Joe is Joe Biden and the warlord Dementus is Donald Trump, and everyone else is just trying to survive them?

Was thinking the other day how there are more people today than there were in the 40's. A lot more. So there should be more Oppenheimer and Von Neumann equivalents in our time. Yet there really don't seem to be. Outside of Elon Musk, who's really moving humanity forward? This is the result of a...

This fuckin' guy. I don't want to believe he did something dishonest, and was waiting for him to put something out explaining himself. Then he just...didn't. Does he think this'll go away if he just says nothing? Jirard is really humble and wholesome in person and I had a high opinion of him...

I just hope they don't start coming out with a bunch of revelations about Proxima-52 Star Fighters and the ongoing war between the reptillians and greys. I need scissors! 61! What star do people think is most likely to be the source of alien life, if we really are being visited? Sirius? Vega...

So it's basically a combination of the Limitless drug and the Slo-Mo from Judge Dredd?

It's worth noting that Punk's segment on RAW got 300k less viewers than the opening segment of the show. Why is this worth noting? Because narrative-pushers have spent the last couple years saying that The Elite "cause 200k viewers to tune out every time they're onscreen" just because they were...

EQ: Zimbabwe Server

Everything that memo outlined has happened. Except Iran for some reason. It was always the biggest target on the list (unless you extend the list out to include Russia or China, both of which I think were in consideration at one time or another).

Yeah, the only hard parts are having the time to do it and the ability to stay focused. Back in 2000 when RPG Maker came out for Playstation, I was up for like 3 days working on it. Basically had the next 6 months or so off at the time being between school and finishing early, so I had all the...

"Procyon-B star spacecraft" huh? Did the aliens name it that? It's totally believable that Lockheed-Martin, Freescale Semiconductor, etc have pieces of off-world tech and are trying to reverse engineer it the same way they tried to advance all that stolen German tech. But it sure turns around...

"I've never let schooling interfere with my education." -Mark Twain Questioning everything should be taught, but it certainly isn't. Nowadays being a "conspiracy theorist" is pushed as one of the worst and most dangerous things people can be, and it's crazy how many young people actually buy...

I know this was done with Nazi tech, but I thought the Nazis took the first picture of Earth from space, about a decade before this? Maybe I'm thinking of some combination of them sending the first satellite into space and doing the first international TV broadcast. But I could have sworn they...

I can believe such a story. Seen plenty of camping videos where people recorded horrendous unidentified noises coming from the woods, sometimes from what sounded like a whole bunch of creatures. Usually recorded in the deep woods, and not sounds humans can make. They don't like when people get...

I used to really like finding ways to AFK-sploit to get power in old games. Something that comes to mind in a much later game: In Castlevania: Circle of the Moon on the GBA you can hold the limp whip in the air while standing under these ceiling things that drop endless enemies on you. This is...

Not rustled so much as...perplexed. Was sitting next to a bunch of foreign tourists on a plane. They were talking in a language I didn't recognize. Could have been literally anything. They kept alternating into English briefly so I got the jist that they were excited to go to the next town they...

Nearly every time I go to this one supermarket, they make some huge mistake. -One time I took my mom shopping and she bought $30 worth of cat food. She put it all in a plastic bag (one of the see-through ones from the produce section) and put it on the conveyor along with other groceries. Guy...

I'm hearing QT Marshall headed to WWE to join Cody. People are gonna joke and all that but he was an asset behind the scenes to AEW and did a ton of stuff. I think he'll be the 4th guy to go from AEW to WWE instead of vice-versa. Might not be much hoopla about it if he's just gonna be a...

This is probably a longshot, but anyone got any advice on Kid Icarus for the NES? It's one of the few NES games I still haven't played and want to. I think that list is down to like 4 or 5 things at this point because I got the rest of the big ones over the decades. Crystalis, Punch-Out...

Lot of doom and gloom in here about the state of the game and the competence of the people managing it. ...and unfortunately pretty much all of it is spot-on.

Are these good stats? Just pulled up my Planescape: Torment file (right at the beginning) and my stats look super weird for a Fighter. In my notes it says to be a Warrior (which I assume = Fighter) for six levels and then switch to Wizard, so maybe that's why I went so hard with Int/Wis. I'm...

Don't get too excited. They're going to give her a very short haircut and mostly unflattering outfits, as is series tradition.

At least the main character is played by a fairly cute actress. I could swear I've seen her in something before, like one of the John Wicks, but according to IMDB she's only been in a few semi-obscure things.

Yeah. I went into this wanting to give it a fair shot and thinking the annoyances were just a sliver of the overall picture. As the game progresses though, the annoyances grow and grow. All of the social commentary is about as subtle as a sucker punch to the head while walking down 5th Avenue...
