I hadn't added any PS3 games with XMB background music to RPCS3 in a while, so I had no idea it played that BGM while doing the PPU module precompilation. Relive the days of checking what volume the monitor is set for at your locals by accidentally highlighting the Mamoru-kun Curse demo

Took me a while to remember how to light a torch in Dark Souls 2 (I'm on a bit of a series tour). Bonfires are usually surrounded by messages saying "seek hole" and the like, so I totally tuned out the "Switch" interaction prompt

Ripping some of my old PS3 game discs and when I opened the case for that Nippon Ichi mystery dungeon game with the Ito Noizi character designs, a flier advertising this new cartoon that just started airing called "Love Live! School Idol Project" fell out. A distant age

The hardest part of the endgame is learning the timing to bait the second jester on the platform with the dragon so you can run past him between breath attacks. Well, that and not getting one-shot by the red eye knights

Wrapped Demon's Souls again. The Old King is a really funny boss fight with 15 years of context. He's got all the shockwave slashes that regular-ass enemies in Elden Ring are constantly throwing at you, but they're pretty easy to dodge and dude will hang back long enough for you to heal freely

(For those wondering, the flagship item that's traditionally filled this role has often been, strangely, the Serial Experiments Lain game on PS1, which Mandarake has six, count 'em, six copies of in an attempt to impress you, The Discerning Collector, But Not Too Discerning As To Check Yahoo Japan.)

Six copies of Serial Experiments Lain for the PS1 in various conditions behind glass, most with their obis, all of them expensive.

A bundle of PS1 Lain with the strategy guide for a mere 198,000 yen. But hey, they both come with their obis! So that's something.

I had to stop and think about what the English title for Ikoku Nikki was every week because "Journal with Witch" both sounds dreadful and has nothing to do with either the original Japanese title or the themes of the show

re anime title discourse the example being used (GITS) is probably the platonic ideal of "you're just being a weeb using the jp title", the perfect case, and that's why you don't hear of anybody ever actually saying it. the strongest *actually used* case of title weebing is Boku No for sure

Huh, why don't I remember the Penetrator fight at all? Oh, it's because you can easily bait his swings and do real damage when you whiff-punish because he staggers when you hit him

I ask the clerk if their RPG is resource management or free healing before every battle. They laugh and say "it's a good RPG, friend." I look inside and it's free healing before every battle

Someone on a SF2 mailing list in the 1990s said "I like pushing this button when I knock the other guy down because it looks meaty and hits for a long time" and we've been stuck with the term ever since, and that's beautiful

I feel like when people get concerned by FGC jargon they're like tattling on themselves for not having hobbies outside of videogames like some people would see how skate trick are named and described and die like a dorito-peasant.

Trying to think of a case where The Community for an old, established fighting game actually embraced a fan-made rebalance patch. The only one that comes to mind is the hack for Sailor Moon S that deletes Sailor Uranus

Saw a video posted of a Third Strike mod that adds a KOF-style team mode, and it was a really funny concept because while it forces you to play at least three characters, in a game where the top tier whiff normals for meter anyway, nobody really benefits from a "battery" like in KOF
