Large Marge sent me! Left wing, right wing, same bird. Doesn't matter which way you vote, prices still rise and crime gets worse. If voting changed anything for the better, they'd make it illegal to vote.

it's obvious that game character design is purposefully ugly now... just give me a character creator if you're gonna ruin the look of your game's protagonist.

Since game devs can't quit ruining their games... just make remasters of old stuff, ok?

I've seen speed runners using glitches in games to get shorter times in game runs. Maybe I'm just a relic of the past but... in my day that was called cheating!

I like how there are game sales but nothing I want is in the sale. So I buy the game I want at full price and THEN it goes on sale a few weeks later.

Hey devs? Making money shouldn't be a problem if you just lost your job. People are yearning for old games and some devs are obliging. Example, Thief is being remastered. Which I'll gladly buy. Remaster more games, they'll sell. I now look forward to remastered and indie titles.

I was playing Final Fight arcade and was thinking of the console wars in the early 90s and the game stores and all the hyped game releases back then.... it occurred to me, I was there. I was around when these games released. I'm old lol

Let me get this straight... • Sony going all digital = bad • Steam being all digital = good • Nintendo fans think key cards are fine No wonder gaming is a mess, look at the flawed logic gamers juggle lol

Gamers right now: "I'm going to retro gaming if next gen is all digital!" Retro gaming: "Sure, drop on by... if you hate paying 100 bucks for digital next gen games, have fun buying 30 year old cartridges for twice that, hah!"

I'm waiting to see gamers go through all the phases and then reach the acceptance phase and say all digital won't be bad lol. I've already seen many do just that. Nintendo fans especially.

Scenario: The powers that be basically force ppl to give up their real identity to get online. You say some spicy things or post a spicy meme online. it gets flagged, your real identity is tied to you, your all digital game library is then suspended for your nono words.

What's going on in gaming? Looks to me gaming is toast possibly. Devs getting shut down, devs mocking their own fans, devs changing characters in games and upsetting fans, hardware and game prices soaring. Seems to me gaming is about to crash and it's on purpose.

Here's a question... do you buy a television based on features that benefit your games, i.e. ALLM, HDR, 120hz, etc? I did personally and I made sure it was an OLED TV as well. How about you?

TurboGrafx 16 was an underrated console and Konami produced a mini of it that's actually great. It's an expensive system to collect for now but the mini is much more affordable at 250 to 350 bucks. With over 50 games it's a high quality mini console.

It's funny... I can put a screen protector sheet on my 14.6" tablet screen and it comes out perfect... but an 8 inch PS Portal screen? No dice. The package came with 2 sheets and fudged both up lol ugh.

After a week with the PS Portal I gotta say it surprised me. Plays great, little if any lag, has a touch screen, works perfect with the Pulse Explore ear buds, but I dunno how streaming games are as I play games that are already on my console. 5 out of 5 stars for me.

Since game devs are busy ruining their games with agendas ... I'd happily take more remasters and remakes of older games. I have a list of games I'd like remastered.

I'm all for using different and especially cheaper sources of energy, but solar takes up a lot of land. That's acres of crop soil being wasted by solar panels. There has to be a genius out there that can create solar "panels" that are built into windows, buildings, etc.

Unpopular opinion: Stop making games people don't want and you'll have a job. Game devs are getting crushed out there, I know, but you have to cater to the audience or they will close their wallets.

Here's a gem.. Bio Hazard Battle for the Genesis. You select a living.. creature.. as your ship (ignore the incorrect box art) and you play across several stages. Great sound, especially the music which goes from upbeat to foreboding and even creepy. Decent graphics.

Most don't know that Yuzo Koshiro composed the music for Super Adventure Island on the SNES and not just Streets of Rage on the Genesis. Take a listen at what he could do with that Sony sound chip on the SNES. m.youtube.com/watch?v=prXC...

Karnov was a great arcade game and I lost a stupid amount of quarters playing it. I remember the 7-11 I played it at, slurpee drinks, candy bars... good times. But the game was also a good time on the NES. Lots of power ups and decent grafx for an early game.

This is actually a fun game and a turbo controller will help you get through it fairly well. Naturally it's based on Final Fight but with cutesy characters instead.

While only loosely based on the arcade version, Rygar on the NES is a great game with catchy music. An early release title and a strong one at that.

Truth be known, I bought my Switch 2 for exclusives like Mario, Zelda and Metroid. I bought my PS5 Pro for a few AAA titles and a lot of Indies. Anyone else the same? I just don't like Sony's 1st party stuff... rather play a new Mario game.

Been playing Icarus on PS5 and it's basically like Ark but without the dinos. It's a rough game and takes patience but I'm enjoying it. At least it has co-op if you want to tackle a wild new environment with help.
