- Comment on Favourite 90s platformer? 6 days ago:
Super Mario Bros 3. It barely makes the cutoff, releasing jn 1990 in North America. But man, it is something special. I completely understand why people prefer Mario World, but Mario 3 feels like the peak of the 2d franchise for me, and everything after that is just reiterating what it perfected.
Sonic 2 and Crash Bandicoot 3 are up there, too. The first time I played Crash especially, my mind was blown. There are several games that scratch the same itch as Mario and Sonic, but I’ve not found a single game that feels like Crash Bandicoot. Gamers were spoiled in the 90s. …unless you bought from a company that wasn’t Nintendo or Sony.

That’s hilarious. They’re really keeping the spirit of the wild west-era internet alive.

Makes a lot of sense lol. I appreciate your usage of ED as a source, I find that reading between the opinions yields some shockingly accurate web history.

Anyone who got a chuckle from this, it’s an excerpt from the Fur Trapper Saga, a series of fictional letters of advertisement for competing fur trapping businesses. Every one of the letters is hilarious, and they become more unhinged as PB Fouke and JF Swanton start really responding to each other’s claims.
- Comment on Has no soul 3 weeks ago:
For context, this paragraph is lifted from SomethingAwful’s Fur Trapper Saga, a series of fictional advertisements put out by two fictional fur trappers, who are competing in business.
While one of the trappers, PB Fouke, tries to sell his business on dedication, JF Swanton sells his furs on the promise that he is so cruel of course he’s going to have the best furs.
Doesn’t make it less offensive, but the point being that it was written in character as a fur trapper from the 1800s who regarded himself as much more cruel than all else.
- Comment on The Wipeout-like racer BallisticNG gets Steam Deck Verified 4 weeks ago:
It’s extremely good. It feels like it was created by fans of all the high-speed racers (F-Zero, wipEout, Extreme G, Star Wars Episode I Podracer, etc), but it’s also very much its own game. Not exactly a 1:1 replication of Extreme G, especially with its focus on four-“wheeled” vehicles (it also has hover options), but it’s probably as close as you’re going to get nowadays.

- Comment on Why We Love to Get Lost in Games: The Enduring Appeal of Metroidvanias 4 weeks ago:
I count Dark Souls as a Metroidvania in my head, honestly.
But I think the actual defining feature is unlocking new abilities to reach new locations.
DS1 has you unlocking new areas that are interconnected with ones previously explored, but you don’t really unlock new moves to get to a new place, it usually just happens after you beat a boss or buy an item.

That definitely detracted from my enjoyment too. All the characters seemed sluggish. I was also expecting 2D animation going in, so Batman RWBY took me a bit by surprise.

There were some funny gags, like Batman trying to use his grappling hook - but there are no skyscrapers, and there were some cool premises for sure. That said, I was expecting a lot more espionage and action from Batman Ninja, and I think it underdelivered just a bit in that regard.
I should rewatch it, because I’m totally watching this new one.

I won’t lie, I was a little disappointed by Batman Ninja. I thought it was pretty good, but I guess the title Batman Ninja, to me, implies it’s going to be the best movie ever made. Loved the art style though, I’m definitely going to watch this one.

That’s something I never noticed. And a little Billy Joel trivia I didn’t know. Really could not see the man knocking someone out.
- Comment on Believe and be saved! 2 months ago:
Not the biggest fan of the Fall Out Boy cover, but everyone here that wasn’t alive when the original came out is doing themselves a disservice by not listening.
The lyrics have been updated, it’s not a cover. Hearing Trump’s name in the same song that mentions MySpace and Sandy Hook has got to be the same level of cultural whiplash as Billy Joel mentioning “Wheel of Fortune,” Watergate, Joseph Stalin, and “Stranger in a Strange Land.” Except it really hits home, because those of us that weren’t adults when the original came out recognize and have memories of almost everything in the song, just like Billy Joel intended.
