I have only managed to convince ONE person to watch Neon Genesis Evangelion, tragically, because it’s my favorite tv show of all time.

I feel like it’s hit-or-miss. A lot of people will zipper merge, but a lot of other people don’t care and mess things up.

I really don’t have a place or space to display them, so they sit in a bin on a small shelf w/ my other retro game stuff. I’ve never minded the lack of spine labels since I’ve always had them in bins, haha. There’s even some hidden gems on the platform!

Nintendo 64 games.
It was the first game console I really played much of growing up. I’d go to my dads on the weekends and he had it there, so it was this magical time, playing Ocarina of Time and Mario Kart 64. I’ve collected nearly all the games I grew up with, as well as some I never played as a kid. I like having it, knowing that at any time I can play them, in their original forms on hardware. Emulation is great but playing on hardware just hits different.

I’m getting the vibe that it’s been developed with full knowledge that it’s going to be a commercial flop, and they’re just hoping to at least not lose money. Feels like the developer had a contract to make a live service game w/ the IP so they’re just chugging it out. Obviously not sure though.

Nobody is going to buy this I don’t get why they’re pushing it

A lot of games increase difficulty by just turning up HP and attack numbers, and part of the fun of souls games is that that’s really not how they handled difficulty.

I dislike Trump as much as the rest of us but this isn’t a place for slurs

Final Fantasy VII. I was never able to beat the sephiroth boss fight. I enjoyed the story, but I don’t feel the need to play it again.

A lot of weed

I used to buy full price games pretty often… But I can’t afford it anymore. To the point I’m mostly playing free to play games or things I already own.
I think that’s true for a lot of people too.

The simple answer is lobbying. Bribery is legal here, our politicians are all bought and paid for by these very companies. Laws are not usually put into place for any reason other than making them more money.

The Ace Attorney Chronicles. It’s two ace attorney games bundled, and I’m playing it on switch. You play as a defense attorney and try to solve crimes and defend your client, and the cases are top notch.

The game has it’s issues, don’t get me wrong. You need to build the teleporter for the main quest, which does require some materials, but so long as you’re picking stuff up as you’re looting, you’ll often just have what you need.

I don’t know that there’s a mod, but the building really can be mostly ignored outside of a small handful of quests. It’s mostly optional.

I know it’s maybe not a great replacement for everyone, but this crap is why I stopped using YouTube and just use Peertube now.

It is, but most of their library is DRM free, so once you download it, those files are yours. Steam won’t let you launch a game without logging into your account, gog doesn’t even check.

I’m not going to argue the ethics of piracy, because the point is that a lot of people will do it if they otherwise cannot afford to buy games. Also, some games just never really go down in price, especially if you’re talking nintendo. To this day Breath of the Wild is still $60 if bought new or digitally.

The problem that they’re not considering is that if they raise the prices, more people are going to be priced out of buying the games, and will resort to piracy. The cost of living is absurd right now, and I can only afford a handful of $60 games a year.
