Cid Vicious

Funny to see someone calling LRG a cool outfit. I’m so used to reading seething hate towards them on reddit. I’m pretty neutral towards them, personally.

It was really cringey how much time they gave him on the Super Bowl.

That’s cute. I think those random, seemingly unimportant moments often produce the most nostalgic photos in retrospect.

But you can’t just plug a generic USB to HDMI adapter in. This is what I meant by “direct”. And Nintendo has deliberately made this not work on the lite.

The switch has never supported direct video out on its USB port, has it? Especially not on the lite where it’d be helpful.

There’s really not a way to make end of season games meaningful all the time. This seems misguided.

I guess it depends on if you value OBP or SLG more.

Pretty sure they used them in spring training too, so there’s a larger sample size than just a few games.

Whether it was a “quarter eater” or not was a big one. Some games were seen as having unfair levels of difficulty that were just designed to take your money. Take something like Haunted Castle as an example.

This is specifically a reference to Car Talk, a long-running show that ended recently (for a given value of recent) after one of the brothers died. Very beloved show. I think they still do reruns.

I’m gonna be sad when people don’t get this one.

How do you even clean them?

Early forays into generative AI.

This comic is surprising dark sometimes.

I think I preferred the design of the ps2, personally.

Having played through this recently (via PS1 classics on a PS3):

Very important game to the genre. Absolutely fucking miserable to play in places.

Very slow paced, long load times, awful platforming dungeons. But fascinating plot and characters. And then disc 2 happens and it’s completely batshit but also barely a game. And there’s sequences like the prison that just drag on forever. It’s worth playing but you’re gonna need patience.

The funny thing about it is that despite it being revered as a classic but nearly everyone, it’s also unlikely to ever get a remake or remaster because it’s blatantly unfinished and Tetsuya Takahashi left the company decades ago to found Monolith Soft and make different Xeno games.

In the comics world, almost every superhero has had different people using the name at different times. But then again, they almost always bring back the original eventually, too…

Getting an account on a big general tracker like TorrentLeech is a pretty good foot in the door. They do open signups frequently. There’s also IPtorrents and their whole network, although they’re pretty looked down upon by the private trackers community. If you want to start working towards invites to more selective trackers, MAM, OPS, and RED all have an interview process. MAM is by far the easiest one to build a ratio on, although note that they do not like to be thought of as a stepping stone.

I mean, it’s likely that it wasn’t capcom us rejecting the japanese design. Far more likely that Capcom JP didn’t share marketing materials with US branch and left them on their own to figure out how to market it. Japanese companies not taking any interest in how things were localized for other markets was completely the norm during that time period.

If you want a company that actually did have the US and JP branches actively warring with each other, Sega is the company to look at.
