Seems like a pro-AI podcast, so unsurprisingly they side with bigots

Impact Racing and Tank Racer. Plus I don't know if Motorhead is underrated because it gets justified flak for being too hard.

In response to the PSO vibes question, PSO Portable on the Psp? Same level of engagement, has a great patched translation and easy to emulate at higher res to up the Dreamcast factor

Zenny! I first remember it from Capcom's surreal arcade shooter Forgotten Worlds where it just seemed like the cherry on top of the random cultural pastiche that was '80s arcade games. Nine year old me wondered if "Zenny" was a friend of the programmers. Probably a fun guy at parties.

I liked the themes and atmosphere. Even though the mechanics didn't always work smoothly, they made sense in the context of what the game was trying to do. It just really worked for me, but I realise that may be personal.

Glad that you've finally made your worldview clear with that statement. Maybe you could be a little more direct with your transphobia next time to make it obvious for everyone?

Meanwhile your case is: "supporting trans people politically is bad"
Your justification is:
"You're stupid."

The majority of trans people *are* working class, don't you understand? Immigration is a "divisive" issue to many but we know which side of it to stand on. What's the difference? It's clear that some minorities are disposable to you.

What's your favourite writing in a videogame? Could be great dialogue in a game with a bad plot or vice versa. Or maybe just cool barks.

Does the Spectravideo Compumate count? I used it to learn BASIC but my first "proper" home computer was an Apple 2 clone, they were plentiful in Singapore in the '80s

Today, it's a lot harder to erase history and existence. Our digital footprints are hard to wash out in entirety - even though the powers that be do still try - and our histories can't be burnt in a singular fire. They'll still try. But I have hope that we will have more of our existence endure now-
