I haven't tried yet, but the idea is exciting. I may in the near future!

The visual feel of it is HZD x Monster Hunter Stories x Dauntless + 15% anime exaggeration

Which is pretty cool

It's very funny to me in that - he could just solve all the world's, or at least most of the US's, problems! He could choose to use his wealth to reduce costs, solve hunger and homelessness, and be universally loved!

But he's so rich that even getting to that thought is now impossible

I sometimes even have this thought about story-based games vs. competitive games I can hop in and out of. Same result, it tends not to be true once I sit down and do it, but it remains a nagging fear

It seems like Venmo has a solid system that's effectively digital allowances? But unsure how it works with payment systems/tap.

From an era where a single game could be in rotation for years at a time with no updates! A prehistoric-feeling sentence

Honestly if they'd done a wireframe-style level like that it would have been sick as hell (maybe they did and I forgot?)

Also - if it's now opposite, delete the original post! Actively keeping up misinformation that people will see hours or days after it's no longer true is at best cynical and at worst actively harmful

I got a DAS for Christmas and it's been great but it's primarily moving me towards a similar idea as this

It would have still been on smashboards if it exists, but unfortunately no, I don't have any idea where it would be. Sorry!

There are some reasonable criticisms, but the majority of negative discourse came from the people who wanted to play Mario Kart as a service game. And they can do that if they want, but the criticisms that come from people attempting to do that won't apply to the vast majority of players.

Finally got around to playing SANABI over the break and it's pretty close to a 10/10 for me - physics-based platformer, shares some essence with Celeste imo *AND* just got a free DLC campaign about a month ago. store.steampowered.com/app/1562700/...

I deeply yearn for the days of PC games having funky box shapes, like this, Prince of Persia 2 or the trapezoid FF7 one

If it's in South Bend, they're referring to MELEE-FC, which hosted several events at Trinity Church, a number of which were historically notable

If memory serves, one of them is talked about in the Smash Brothers Documentary

It's not perfect yet, but it's starting to emulate pretty well on PC. Give it another year or two and it'll probably be rock solid

The signature move of unqualified leadership is meddling in the work several rungs down from their station, because it's what they *actually* feel comfortable doing

This one is "if we can train people to not notice when a song ends, we can algorithmically insert whatever slop we want and drive down the value of music even further"
