Someday hopefully people will be like "Remember the internet in the early 2020’s when they had those stupid cookie popup banners everywhere?

Also people in the 80’s: “I love my waterbed, but my back is killing me for some reason.”

I never played the DOA Beach Volleyball, but I loved the Summer Heat Beach Volleyball, mostly because of a Kylie Minogue song on it. (Then there was you) Now every time I hear that song it makes me think of summer.

There’s still 37 years until the time of The Jetsons! Lots of time for all that yet.
- Comment on EA reportedly to be sold off for "roughly $50 billion" to go private 3 weeks ago:
Oh yeah, that was definitely the sound on the demo! Wow, quite the nostalgia hit there. I can’t find a video of the Def Jam 2 version. I’ll have to make one later.
- Comment on EA reportedly to be sold off for "roughly $50 billion" to go private 3 weeks ago:
Reminds me of when I had a demo disc for Def Jam: Fight for NY. The demon loaded up with a girl’s voice saying “E. A. It’s in the game.” When I bought the full game there was a huge surprise when the girl grew up and a very deep male voice was used instead.
I miss the old EA. Ain’t going to support whatever it is it has turned into.
- Comment on Nintendo Doubles Down on Palworld vs Pokémon Patent Lawsuit ‘Mods Don’t Count as Real Games’ 4 weeks ago:
Man, how did I not know that? I was mostly thinking of the Duke Nukem line: “I ain’t afraid of no Quake” when coming up with games that clearly use the same mechanics but didn’t go around suing each other. And Duke Nukem 3D was obviously based on the FPS games that came before.
- Comment on Nintendo Doubles Down on Palworld vs Pokémon Patent Lawsuit ‘Mods Don’t Count as Real Games’ 5 weeks ago:
It’s so stupid too. Imagine if there was this fight when Doom came out suing Duke Nukem 3D and Quake. The industry thrives on iteration.
- Comment on Impressive dwarf-vs-alien autoshooter Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor burrows out of early access 5 weeks ago:
I completed just about everything in the game about 6 months ago. Looks like there’s a bunch of new content that I’m looking for to! I’ve been waiting for 1.0 to boot it up again.
- Comment on Nintendo now has a US patent on summoning characters and making them battle for you | VGC 1 month ago:
Specifically, the patent describes a situation where:
- A console or other system is being used to run a video game from storage
- The player controls a character in a “virtual space”
- The player can perform an input command to make a “sub character” appear (i.e. summon another character)
- If there’s an enemy where the sub character appears, the player can control a battle between the sub character and the enemy
- If there’s no enemy where the sub character appears, the sub character will automatically move around
- The player can move the sub character to a different location on the field, and if an enemy is there they can control a battle between the sub character and the enemy

Didn’t even look at this game. Thought it was related to Life of Pi. Might have to check it out.
- Comment on Any good Android games that aren't roguelikes? 2 months ago:
I use Mini Review for most of my android game finding. I find that if they give an overall score of 8 and above, I almost always like the game.
I’m currently enjoying the idle clicker Magic Research 2 It doesn’t feel like most idlers. There’s monsters to fight that need some strategy and a pretty good plot where I actually read everything! Most games have plot that is so boring and rehashed that it’s not worth reading, but Magic Research 2 was a lot of fun. I played the demo a bit and bought the full version before running into whatever limits were in the demo.

- Comment on The driver for my mouse occupies over 1 gb 3 months ago:
I’ve been using the Logitech MX Master 3 mouse for a while now and the software has been alright. Lets me use my mouse across my desktop and laptop at the same time. It’s been alright, but I go to check out my button mapping settings recently and saw “AI prompt builder” and sighed at how stupid that is. I really really want hope the adding of AI to everything is a fad like Pogs, but I somehow doubt it.

- Comment on Angela Rayner: I’ve taken all sorts — but we won’t legalise cannabis 3 months ago:
Careful there buddy. The US hasn’t legalized it, only certain states have. That means you can’t travel around with it in the US even if you bought it legally.
Canada legalized it though.

The Sunlit Man was so good. I love books that have fast pacing right from the start, and trying to figure out how the world worked was so much fun.
- Comment on The USA spends $15k/student annually which is 30% higher than the global median. Why do U.S. schools have "fundraisers" where kids are incentivized to sell stuff to people? 5 months ago:
Also the sort of things the schools spend money on. I don’t know from experience, but I think US schools pay for police officers to be at the school. That seems crazy to me, and expensive.
