I am a Man of a Certain Age, so it's 100% Super Mario Bros.

I agree with this, but mine is "Kunio" or "Nekketsu" games, mostly because even saying "River City" feels like you're not including the sports games, especially since when they were new, they were not at all unified on these being the same characters. (Kunio A.K.A. Alex, Sam, Mr. K, Crash, etc)

I miss the delightful fuckery of "the same game got different licenses in different territories." There was a game that was a 7up game in the US and a McDonald's game in Europe. The 20th century was weird, ya'll.

It didn't go forward because they would've lost every match. When their opponents bumped, instead of pinning them, they would... PICKITUP PICKITUP PICKITUP!

If you smoked clove cigarettes in high school, you have a crush on Elsa Lanchester as the Bride. I don't make the rules.

if I can live under the poverty line and still quit a voice over job mid-session because I found out the "writer" used GenAI, you can afford to not buy/play a game that uses GenAI.

My first, last, and only thought on this entire discourse is that if you won't hire me because I brought something to drink to an interview and no other reason, I don't wanna work for your fuckass company.

Today, I decided to dump all my thoughts about A.I. infecting the retro and Saturn scene into one cohesive article. In short, I am certifiably sick of this.

It's got some debunked "science," and it's kinda exploitative, but Forensic Files is like a brain massage. (I also am much more inclined to put on music than TV, but when I do put on TV... yeah.)

This is a bummer for people who were looking forward to it, but the poster is correct: you should generally treat backing a Kickstarter as gambling, in that you should be comfortable with the fact that the money might just be gone with nothing to show for it.

Yesterday, I brought up the Halloween decorations from the basement. Spent the day watching sports (Packers, Caps preseason, Brewers CONTINUING TO DOMINATE), then watched a Cronenberg movie before bed. AUTUMN IN FULL-EFFECT.

I honestly kinda miss the camp of budget publishers licensing Japanese games on the cheap and then putting together a bananas-ass localization, like turning Gunbird into Temu Charlie's Angels for some reason.
