  There is already a switch 2 emulator booting it to the first level and a recomp project. It’s only a matter of time. Lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lets find obscure VG OSTs that deserves more attentions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a huge fan of the soundtrack to a game in development, but not released beyond a demo yet, called “Rhythm Quest”. It’s a button masher that feels like it blends a Guitar Hero and Mario kind of vibe. The person making the game is also the composer of the chiptune music in it.

  Trailer can be found here.

  They have released the first half of the game’s soundtrack on Bandcamp and it’s pretty good. Can’t wait to buy the full game when it hopefully releases. The developer puts out sneak peak update videos every few weeks.

  Yeah but by the time ME1 rolls around story-wise, Shepard is already a war hero amongst humans. It’s hard to believe he’s never shot a rifle in his entire career.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Leaked trailer for the cancelled game Mass Effect: Universe⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It was an OK game. Very bland story-wise, but solid combat.

  “Coming soon”

  🥲

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Leaked trailer for the cancelled game Mass Effect: Universe⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The word “some” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that statement. There was a LOT of filler to pad out playtime.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Leaked trailer for the cancelled game Mass Effect: Universe⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My favorite is still ME2. I feel like it did the best balancing action and RPG elements without becoming too “Call of Duty”-esque or being weighed down by RPG bullshit or time sink.

  ME1’s “you can hold a sniper rifle, but you’re too brain dead to use it” if you didn’t pick Soldier was a great example of being too RPG bullshit to me. You’re telling me I have the accuracy of a drunk child with a sniper rifle because I picked playing Adept or Engineer? I’m glad they fixed it in the remake.

  Andromeda had some of the best combat and controls of any of the games. Unfortunately, the story is bland and repetitive.

  I really wish we could get another great Mass Effect game, but I knew not to get my hopes up. I played Andromeda, after all.

  As an American, I wholeheartedly agree. I’m tired of voting against and protesting this shit and the people who push it seeing no consequences.

  Fuck our shit up, world. We deserve it.

  I’ll have to give the Gamecube version a try

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I regret to inform you all that I will not be purchasing the OoT remake.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t play OoT. The controls are too terrible. Even the decomp project SoH still uses the god awful N64 control scheme.

  If I could have generative AI make me a paradise world that I could escape to whenever I’m not making money to pay for the paradise world, I wouldn’t give AF. Also, Star Trek has Fusion and Matter/Anti-matter power generation that’s nearly entirely clean.

  Unfortunately, the best our AI can do is make people with 6 fingers and write bad code while using all the water and electricity.

  Incredible

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox lays off 268 more employees, merges Obsidian into Bethesda and puts Activision in charge of Halo⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree, but I just find it hilarious that Microsoft reorganized and renamed 343 to Halo Studios, just to basically cut it’s head off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox lays off 268 more employees, merges Obsidian into Bethesda and puts Activision in charge of Halo⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So is Halo Studios/343 just…dead now? Seems like they’re dead if they don’t have Halo. Kind of in their name.

  In the grand scheme of the entire evolutionary history of Earth, the 1980s to now is an INCREDIBLY small slice.

  Where is the source for this? I’d like to use it to inform people, but that’s hard with just a picture of a tweet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This isn't fair⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on whether that hour of labor is going to a company that then pays a fraction of the fee to the employee or not. If so, the employee makes the same and the company increased the price.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Housing prices⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Which is why I said that these things aren’t mutually exclusive. Diet adjustments to reduce or eliminate meat consumption is one of MANY global warming things that we should be doing. Not allowing data centers to fire up 20-40+ unregulated natural gas turbines is another. Promoting public transit in all cities is another.

  It’s not an easy solution that you can just point a single finger at, but you can point at several big ones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Housing prices⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  1. Private equity buyers absolutely are contributing to housing prices skyrocketing. The percentage of their effect is up for debate, but as someone who bought a home in the last few years, I was fighting big investors that were making cash offers left and right on every house I tried to get.

  2. Meat production is one of the largest green house gas emitters, but data centers aren’t helping either. BOTH can be a problem. It’s and AND statement, not an OR.

  Ori and the Blind Forest/Will of the Wisps: I picked up the first game in a Humble Bundle years ago and decided to play it randomly. Instantly became obsessed and then got the sequel when I beat it.
