Ha, reminds me of how someone would come around mind and play pinball dreams on the amiga and they'd slam the flipper keys like as if doing it harder would be more effective.

There might be millions of pictures of squirrels online but there's something satisfying about taking your own photos!

I have that Sonic Boom Six album and my gf has that Frank Turner album, nice. She's seen him live and I've seen them live too, before we met each other.

Geeze, these sorta kids probably grew up to be assholes. I had someone steal my grade contributing comic strip and crossed my name out and wrote theirs on it. I managed to get it back when I saw it on his table somehow. That same kid got the worst possible grades for all exams.

Yeah, it's making me realise how much I use the em dash because whenever I do now, I am thinking to myself, am I going to be accused of using AI!?

High five! I drew Ren & Stimpy as a kid and showed it the other class mates and they accused me of tracing it. Funny thing is I had made a mistake which wouldn't have happened had I traced it.

Agreed, I like it when a JRPG is like "3 damage", not "3206 damage." Some of these points are how I feel about xbox achievement points vs playstation trophies. My xbox achievement points are meaningless to me. They may have done it first but I prefer how trophy types break it down.

"poured effort into" and "AI-made" can't be in the same sentence but there it is!

True, apart from Whip it, most people never heard anything else by them. I wouldn't consider myself a fan as such but I like DON'T SHOOT, I'M A MAAAAN! and throw money at the problem, make it go away!

Wow our rankings if you look at mine I posted in this thread are almost identical to yours! The bottom 2 episodes are the only two in the season that I didn't watch all the way through, they were that painful to watch.

I thought i was going to hate the puppet episode but I found it hilarious! Certainly better than all the other daft episodes this season.

Yes, collectors don't want incomplete stuff, like a game that came with a manual but it's missing, so why would they want to buy one that doesn't include the frigging game?!

I have that collection physically on PS5, but obviously some games it's unavoidable to use PSN store for non physical games. And yeah, you also get deluxe editions that will go on offer price making the normal version dearer at that time, which makes no sense.

True enough, this game just slipped me by, maybe it wasn't on Amiga? It's like those side scrolling beat em up games with stupidly large enemies.

He's the same size in the background and foreground so that bookcase and table with a typewriter looks massive haha, I could never accept this in my own game projects!

I feel like I should have included Broken Sword 2 but I already had Monkey Island 2 in my top 9 that represented point and click games. (I was trying to go with games that shaped my preferences of genres)

I love how you can just glance at these 90s Pop Will Eat Itself covers and identify they're created by Designer's Republic

I just threw a table lamp at my girlfriend. She seems really pissed off?

However, I can't get away with throwing furniture at people to see how they react in real life

Did you make this game especially for my gf? She LOVES breaking stuff in games!

I thought this was a good idea but I got to entering my 3rd track and they didn't have it. I'll make one myself! (It was a punk rock band, Face to Face - Disconnected, of you were wondering)

That's awesome dude!! Highlander sequels and the tv show are funny. There can only be one. Or more. And then one. Until there's more. And then two.

Matt @becausebecause.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
While I have replayed the original more times than the sequels, I loved them all but I know what you're saying. invisible War especially was very much console "dumbed down" and had lots of small areas with a million loading screens but I played it again last year and I still really like it!

Oh what on earth happened!?

Matt @becausebecause.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
Yeah, I guess the sequels are basically the more of! Closest other games would be yer immersive ones like Dishonored. There is something on pc i like the look of, think it's in early access but I don't play games on my pc. I think it's called Fortune's run, do you know anything about that one?

Matt @becausebecause.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
Okay, these 9 games got me into playing more games like these games (i would have liked to have squeezed Yakuza on PS2 as a tenth)

I mentioned gnocchi to a neighbour who is probably in her 60s and she'd never heard of it and claimed it must be some new thing younger folks have come up with. Gnocchi was invented in ancient Rome, and the potato version we know now was in the 16th Century..

The amount of times it doesn't actually look like a PS2 game, almost every single time

100%! Speaking of ugly gen AI, eBay's website now shows ebay live videos full of AI posters before the videos play. I have had to start opening a new tab with the shopping cart and then hit the search bar so I don't have to see those eyesores.

The website has started doing it too!

Yeah I appreciate the suggestion, I did see this, I just can't bring myself to spend that much on an import game, and it would be just my luck and not the first time that I order it and THEN they announce a local retail version. 😅

It is funny how he said it like there wasn't already hundreds of recent games, many that were successful, that used pixel art graphics. The review was left about 4 years ago and we had Stardew already.

Nice! It's the first silent hill I've wanted to play since after the second game lol. Not really a horror fan but this game's setting alone makes me really wanna get it! Most games set in the uk are always in the heart of London and don't feel familiar to me.

Just played the Dynasty warriors 3 remastered demo, this is exactly what I wanted! Same music, dody voice acting but nicer graphics, increased frame rate and resolution. Then I find out there's no physical release in the West. Argh!!!

Me and my gf started watching our 3rd Rock from the Sun DVD boxset we bought a while ago, and I haven't seen it since it first aired. The theme tune was great to hear again, but now it's all I've been hearing in my head whenever music isn't playing. It's driving me INSANE

There's a few clever record stores like that in the UK Vinyl Resting Place Vinyl Destination (Although I hesitate to refer to the second store here, the owner isn't very pleasant)

(my Girlfriend Paula's copy, I don't have it) I really love the cover for it! Paula agrees with you that it's a masterpiece. It's grown on me over the years, really like the one that goes "baby's coming back!"
