greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Very common misconception. Somewhat awkwardly, Burgertime is actually a unit of distance, not a unit of time. 182
greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Is Babylon 5 good? Genuine question. I really disliked the aesthetic when it originally aired, but I was also a kid at the time. The Centauri just look so dumb. 300

greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 19/07/2026With so many Myst-like 3D fighting game clones out there, it's hard to keep track of them all!! (Will have to check this game out now based on that description...) 010
greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Yes, that was me! Not sure whether I liked the friendliness of the owner of the selection in the shop more as they were both great. Nice selection of import games, too. I got an import Mr Diller game that was Japan only, and I never knew existed! 000
greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 17/07/2026If it makes you feel any better, on Memorial Day weekend I was in Philly visiting some friends and visited Next Level Videogames, which I heard about through some of your posts either here or on IG. Bought a few REAL games for GBA and Sega Master System! 120
greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 16/06/2026Yeah... I'm not sure why anyone would be confident that Microsoft will build a platform that consumers can trust. Beyond your observation about the 360's failure rate, MS is also constantly pushing "features" consumers actively don't want in literally every single product they build. 000

greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 03/05/2026Please tell Kevin we miss him and BiMP! Has he enjoyed the Digital Eclipse-style docu-games trend? Any series or gaming topic he'd love to get that treatment? And can we get one more conversation with Mike Mika!? 020
greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 03/05/2026I've never really understood why people continue to say Nintendo figured out 3d controls with Mario 64. It's unquestionably better than the awful games that came out at a similar time, but it is also much closer to those contemporaries than it is to modern control standards. 020
greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 01/05/202615 point first quarter/36 point first half by the Hawks... Has to rank among the worst playoff performances of all time. There have definitely been worse, though. I remember there was a Jazz-Bulls game in the NBA Finals back in the late 90s where the Jazz scored 54 points in the whole game! 000
greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 29/04/2026One summer in the 90s, Mortal Kombat was on multiple times a day on some cable channel. I watched it dozens of times at my friend's house. It became comedy gold. I have almost no memory of it now except Christopher Lambert trying to say Outworld. 010
greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Can you export Miis made in this game to your Switch (Switch 2, especially)? That feature would make me strongly consider buying this game (because I am a damned fool.) 100
greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Worked well with the Castlevania Dominus Collection, at least on big screen. The DS being 4:3 or whatever makes the screens fit side by side on a widescreen pretty easily 010
greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Bit more of a rogue-ish series, but have you played any of the Hammerwatch games? They scratched that Diablo-like itch for me, anyway. 100

greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 01/04/2026they call it visually dull? Maybe it's a boring film, but there's literally no chance this movie is anything below sensory overload visually. Is that just a way for them to say they don't like how it looks but sound objective? 000
greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 31/03/2026@guillaumenwr.bsky.social apologies for this random question: I randomly saw you followed the developer of Shrine's Legacy on Bluesky... Have you played it/discussed it on RFN (or elsewhere)? I'm considering buying. I don't recall you mentioning it, but maybe I missed it. 110
greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 24/03/2026If the report of reduced production is accurate, I wonder how much of it is impacted by challenges in sourcing components for manufacturing. I can't read his report, but how much of the report is opining the why versus actually knowing the why. 010
greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 09/03/2026This one is made by Sharp (built in FDS). There was a true second generation Famicom, but it is much closer looking to the US top loader, including separate controllers. 000
greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 08/03/2026Absolutely. Competitive elections are good for voters just like competitive markets are good for consumers. 000
greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 05/03/2026Another little tidbit... they were still writing about this story in Maine only ten years ago! www.pressherald.com/2011/09/29/a...pressherald.comArby’s site on Forest Ave. sold to credit unionThe property was purchased by cPort Credit Union for an undisclosed sum. 140
greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 19/02/2026Absolutely! Back in the 90s I had an n64 and spent a lot of time with multiplayer games (and Zelda). I never played Mario 64. With 3D All Stars, I was excited to go back to a game I've heard so many good things about. The camera control is so bad I couldn't get past it and dropped after an hour. 010
greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 19/02/2026Two is for sure overly harsh, but I agree with your overall point. 110
greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 19/02/2026On a nostalgia-free basis, the N64 is in the running for Nintendo's worst console (excluding the VB, obviously). The library is small and, outside of a handful of great games, largely forgettable. It's a bit hampered by how poorly that generation's games have aged. 021
greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 19/02/2026I'm hopeful for a collection including SotN and that Limited Run finally releases that translated version of Rondo of Blood for the Turbo CD they announced like 5 years ago. 000
greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 15/02/2026Is that an aftermarket top panel? It looks great! The Super Famicom may be the greatest looking console of all time, and the 3DS SF edition looked amazing. 110
greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 08/02/2026This is part of what drove me off TurboTax. They're just the epitome of exactly this kind of toxic pattern bullshit. That and they've spent so much money lobbying to make it harder for non-TurboTax-users to file their taxes that they just do not deserve to exist. 000
greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 24/01/2026I didn't know there was so much to learn about Rygar! Love deep dives like this. 010
greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 22/01/2026I have not thought about this in probably 30-40 years, but you are absolutely correct. 020
greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 05/01/2026I think I misread the text in the image, and the 8-4 staff is listed after you... but I hope you get a bump nonetheless! 000
greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 05/01/2026Hoping you get the legendary 8-4 bump! 110
greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 28/12/2025I've never seen any of the Avatar movies. The only thing I know is that the primary source of conflict is a material called unobtainium, the midichlorians of the 21st century. 010
greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 21/12/2025The full history is also a bit like dubya dubya eff rasslin' in that the story, viewed with a long enough history, isn't really coherent anyway. If they want to do a cool storyline, they'll just do it. The continuity of a character gets referenced but is never bigger than the present tale. 020

greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 17/12/2025Like I love Mario 2 and World, but I genuinely could not tell you anything about the scoring system. I only know something about Mario 3's scoring system due to the hidden white pirate ships... 000
greatbigman.bsky.social @greatbigman.bsky.social · 17/12/2025I don't disagree with much of what's written in this thread, but... scoring? Scoring has been a mostly vestigial part of SMB since the 80s when it was an arcade game. I feel the same about time limits. There are other, more fun ways to generate a sense of urgency, imo. 110
