I read that it wasn’t really that fun to be a tester back then and especially now. Imagine having to play a level over and over and over again, then having to fill out sheets about what is wrong with it.

And that infamous commercial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRWvfMLl4ho really oversold it.

No, I disagree.

The last beacon of hope is what will come out of the Luigi case. The conservatives are already on the march over Kirk. What will come of Luigi, whether they kill him too or imprison for life, will determine how the public will react.

The Republican Party has made it abundantly known how little they give a shit about children. They weaponize them when they want laws passed, but immediately discard them when said laws do pass. They weaponize them again when they want to make a point about how much they care about the sanctity and sacredness of american values, but stop caring about them again when children get shot up in schools.

So, the whole Epstein bullshit is nothing.

If the impeachments, being convicted and the countless number of things this trash has been tied to has not swayed the voterbase by now. Nothing will.

All that this will be treated as, as just another talking point for conspiracy theorists to babble about for years, like they have already done so for a while now.

That friend needs to be more specific, they didn’t even give you resolution or screen size preferences? What kind of friend does that?

Oh yes. In the early days of pirating, it was illegal to possess MP3s of music you didn’t ‘own’ copies of.

There used to also have been and still is, legal fighting about the legality of having copies of games no longer in circulation. We have been seeing it now where Nintendo aims at people hosting file copies of some of their IPs.

They’re always going to be illegal to have laying around your computer, regardless of your stance. Unless you buy said MP3s from something like Apple’s store or Amazon.

He’s looking like the Anti-Gaben Newell in that picture there.

See: Mick Gordon.

GTA VI I feel is going to stretch about 4 generations of gaming before ever seeing VII.

GTA V has started in the PS3/360 era, went through the PS4/One era, is sitting in the PS5/X era and we’re now about 2-3 years away from the next gen of gaming to happen.

Also it is hard for me to believe we got both GTA IV and GTA V in the same generation.

He’s just mad that he’s not as good at making game engines like Id, Valve and even Epic did.

Really? People are going to make a huge deal out of not being able to play “Incest Daughters BDSM”? Is that how far we’ve fallen off of the wagon as to what games we prioritize in getting removed? Fucking really?

Anyone who is in such an uproar about that kind of quality being removed, ought to get your priorities in check.

This is my birth month and I was looking forward to picking up this bundle for my birthday. But, I wasn’t impressed with the selections here.

WWE2K25, the quality of the series has slipped, year after year. They are the only game series I know of, that can’t even make hair graphics look good. Destiny 2, this is just a glorified DLC/MTX-feely kind of package, for an otherwise FREE game. Return to Monkey Island feels like a shallow cash-grab, I hate that art design. Grapple Dog looks like just a cheapo game, not bundle-worthy.

Everything else doesn’t appeal to me. Hell, there weren’t even any games that both could benefit me or anyone I know that’d like a copy of. That is when I knew this bundle sucked. Ruined the birthmonth mood for me. Fucking IGN…

Stupid.

Instead of you know, taking the games that were good on that system and re-releasing them as they should have been. They do this.

This was the system that made Nintendo so ashamed, they wouldn’t even address or know of its existence until years later.

So, imagine your machine is one of those Dell Optiplex contraptions of the 2000s and even early 2010s.

Those machines sucked for the reason that, their components were tightly compacted, very little wiggle room to do anything in, upgrading anything was next to impossible because everything had to be low-profile to even fit into the case, everything was a dust/heat nightmare waiting to happen.

Just so many vulnerabilities in those machines are exactly what you could be facing if you go this route.

No, never was. I’m glad I’m not.

And to hit it home how unpopular I was, when I got my senior yearbook, I was in a particular section of the book where they seemingly put the undesired students in. Like, every senior got pages where they got nice pictures, they got a quote and some bio of them. Where I was at, there was none of that, just a couple pages of pictures of students they don’t care for, even though we all got the same piece of paper that asked us what we’d like to say. Didn’t matter.

Funny how none of the people who ran that yearbook staff, went on to do bigger and greater things. I haven’t heard of or read their names doing anything significant. Just goes to show people just have a lot of ego in schools.

Where I was going with that is if you’re going to bother investing in an argument you know is a waste of time with these kinds of people, it is kind of shameful. That is basing what you already know to be factual. Double-checking isn’t wrong either but again, doesn’t apply to people who’re not open-minded.

Uh, yeah? Just because I didn’t mention it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

Yes. All it takes is squeezing the gun, aim and fire. Again, not hard to do. You’re not going to hit your target all the time unless you try focusing, but my point still stands.

It’s really a no brainer in how to use guns. The part that really determines how well they can use a gun is how fast they can reload like a trained marksman who spends considerable time at a shooting range. That and how well they can prevent some guns from jamming.

But taking one, knowing it is loaded and just shooting away, that’s a no brainer. Anyone can do it.

Demisexual. You’ve described it right out of the gate.

Every year, many games are disappearing, for various reasons. Every game that disappears from distribution is potentially lost to game preservation efforts. It is particularly worrying when games are potentially vanishing due to external pressure."

More like, video game companies can give a shit less about preservation unless it is making them money. They don’t care. And if anyone thinks that they care with all of the remasters/remakes they manage to make, that is only banking on your nostalgia and that is hand picked by them as to what they decide is worth making profit on. Sadly it works and sadly, they won’t bother with every game so I would stop getting your hopes up by now on video game companies in doing that.

And anyone is even lucky that video game companies lift a finger on aged copyrights that take decades somehow for them to get to, despite them raking in billions a year. You would think money would talk there but nah, just their laziness and carelessness.
