Agree, playing through TOTK right now and I fight everything, backflips ftw.

I’ve been avoiding ubi for a decade or longer because they suck in many other ways, but here’s another reason to not give them a single penny.

I can’t wait to get a rental car that doesn’t allow me to use my own maps.

Exactly. I used to play league pretty regularly, and even bought some shit every once in a while. There’s no way I’m installing windows again just to play league.

ARM = Acorn Risc Machine

If it was actually pocketable I would have bought a second switch for on the go. But it’s not small enough for that, and it drops functionality from the slightly larger model. If either changed I think it would have sold better.

I think not being dockable killed it for most people, that and it not being a pocket system. I think if either of those changes the for the better it would sell well. If it doesn’t fit in my pocket I might as well get the big one that docks so I can play on the TV when I’m in the mood.

I have a feeling that a Switch 2 Lite is on the horizon, Nintendo loves a console variant. Not that the S1 lite is pocketable, but maybe they will shrink it more this time. I went down a somewhat similar path, only for me it was GBA and emulation on my Steam Deck that really made me realize I missed having pocket games that are real games and not mobile bullshit. I modded my old GBA with a modern screen and battery and it’s been my goto device for portable games. The OG DS dropped as I was graduating highschool and going into college, and the 3DS completely passed me by. I keep thinking about getting a used one but their prices are still a little high for me.

No but for real, wtf is this thing?

Damn, you take your noodles very seriously.

Paper Cassette: Load letter sized paper to continue printing. You are out of paper, human.

Well I’ve had the cough drops but never heard of that one.

I actually have it on gog, but I’ve had a few issues running it on Linux. I haven’t tried it a while, and I didn’t troubleshoot much at all. I should give it another try.

Holy crap I thought I was the only one that played that game.

How do we murder it quickly

Ok, fair point about it being in Snow Crash. I can forgive it a little bit now. I still don’t love the name, and I think we should come up with something better for the eventual fediverse version of the same idea.

Let’s stop giving meta credit. Metaverse is a shit name anyway. Cyberspace is cooler and it’s still not that cool.

Sometimes I put peanuts on top of my peanut butter toast.

That sounds a lot like what I imagine the effects workflow is these days. Copy the shit from our back catalog, outsource the nitty gritty to developing nations. Send it to the Disney mega render farm and push it to theaters or +. Rinse and repeat. Those marvel movies have a lot of effects they can pull from. So does star wars, etc. I don’t think writing compelling dialogue is as easy as that, without just copying others completely at least.

I’m not so sure the effects cost more than paying a room of skilled writers to come up with story ideas. Not anymore.
