i freaking loved Resident Evil Gaiden! the action genre people hated the battle mechanic that operated more like an RPG encounter system but i loved it preciously for this reason. i think it’s definitely a sleeper hit for RPG fans that normally avoid Resident Evil due to the action genre games

i’d love one that acts like a hovercraft, where it has air channels inside it, that allows it to float on one’s face. would need a tube connected to a cooling fan

oh sorry, i phrased that last part wrong. if you bought the song you keep it. but if you haven’t, and you stream it, it becomes no longer available for purchase. which is why for certain foreign songs i buy them on iTunes instead of streaming, cause i have a hunch they’d go down if i streamed them

i’ve noticed that if i listen to foreign songs on Apple Music, like a week later a good number of them become unavailable due to country restrictions. i’m guessing Apple applies a β€œoffer first verify later” approach. the songs also get removed from purchase on iTunes

easy fix: package a keyboard with the game with the F12 key missing

my CIB Pokemon collection :)
the most painful part is buying the new games when they don’t deserve to be bought TBH given the quality decline :|

Palmer Luckey is problematic but the people complaining about the drone stuff are seriously picking the wrong thing to complain about. drone wartech is here to stay; foreign states are doing it as well. it’s a necessary evil at this point. peace isn’t guaranteed, we need it to defend ourselves

Nic’s story about getting into prototypes via magazine screenshots reminds me of how even in game manuals one’d see prototype screenshots. it was fun to listen. i didn’t know about the controller port ROM dumping method

time to leave her. when she asks why? just say yes, positive.

i like the dithering the front mesh applies to the lit fans!

i’m so glad i bought it way back. i’m like β€œthat looks quirky as hell, watch it skyrocket. i should buy ASAP” along with pop n’ tanks but the latter one hasn’t spiked as much

wild arms 2. was in a video game store, and i didn’t want to go home empty handed. but also didn’t have a way to check reviews. so i basically went with whatever stood out. i definitely got my money’s worth in how much time i spent playing it

this is huge! so for the other stages they used movie references. which left the question of β€œwhere did they get the reference for the F16 from.” the concept art has an identifying mark E-599 that helps nail it down. not the same photo but the actual reference might be in a magazine

the jumper Keith Flint of The Prodigy wore in the Firestarter music video that he found in a second-hand shop is by Lido of California, from the 1960s/1970s. it’s often imitated nowadays by copycats with the OG manufacturer being forgotten about

ooh! i watched this anime (it’s only a couple episodes), i had zero idea there was a game associated with it. very cool

i’m always amazed how great the pixel art or 3D models in this case, is for those retro cartoon games. like even when a game might be bad, the artists themselves understood the assignment

so i spent my winter vacation time and first weekend of the year beating Metaphor Refantazio and i’m feeling more depressed than happy about it. the game went on too long. could have been shorter. the archetypes could have been a shared pool instead of requiring leveling separately

rip to the block that got ejected out the bottom. i feel that. i spent like two days tweaking collision, thinking i finally proofed it all against quantum tunneling - and then when i’m about to move on and consider it case closed, i walk through a piece of geometry. back to the drawing board again
