@-wc- around my circles, croc is hugely loved, but I still feared his return would be ignored, so I’m equally pleased to see it showered with praise. Can’t wait to revisit this.
Wasn’t gonna anyways. The last mainline game is currently as old the franchise was when it initially came out a decade and a half ago. It’s been that long.
Are we sure this is not being taken out of context? I’ve read Deadpool comics a lot back in the day and this sounds like a really normal quip with no deep meaning behind it. Correlation does not equal causation.
I’ve never once in my whole life experienced cloud gaming due to its location/region availability so it’s gonna be nigh impossible for me to ever form a solid impression of this which is a shame because I do get increasingly more curious about it every few years I see it on the news.
@-wc- you conveyed yourself quite well, friend. No worries there. 👍 Indeed those games are worth more than a couple of bucks. I myself never got used games that are worth more than $70 although grey market can be a big ol’ jerk.
Looks cool but they’re not usually that good that fifth gen or Dreamcast emulation so I hope this makes improvements and includes more than just 6 games.
@-wc- when “HD” monitors were becoming the rage, I felt obliged to get one. Funnily enough it wasn’t because of some issue with my CRT, but because certain games like Dynasty Warriors 8 on the ps3 would display text really small. “HD” consoles were slowly starting to support CRT monitors less and less, with GTA V being the last game I could remember being able to enjoy on one. It was quite easy to tell when a game supports 4:3 TVs if they have “SD” support labeled on the back cover although some didn’t label it despite already supporting it.
It slowly became a bit of a regret of mine that I’ve never tried keeping my CRT TV as they became quite tricky to find as time went on. Even in the most ghetto neighborhoods of Kuwait.
@KitsuneNight Agreed. As a kid I actually kinda disliked it because I didn’t know how to select the “real” costume. Pressing Cross or Circle would always give me the character’s casual outfit, and not their “actual” outfit. It took me months to discover that pressing Square/Triangle on the character select screen to get their real outfits. Since tekken was my first fighter 20-something years ago, naturally my mind was pretty blown.
Yeah this video been getting recommended a lot. I dislike it when YouTube algorithm aggressively recommends stuff but this is mandatory for me regardless as a console history geek.
I adore sega Racers. Beautiful blue skies! Ngl I misread the title ad Sega hiring the creator. Now I know this a much scarier situation. Hope things work out for him.
I belong in the same boat as people preferring classicvanias, and deviating too much from that can harm my interest. Metroidvanias are fine, but their novelty really wore off for me after the first couple games. The perceived sense of “freedom” completely shatters away once I realized the lack of meaning behind certain paths, and how my playthrough would not have been all that drastically different regardless of which path I choose to prioritize. Not to mention the level design can make it feel less like you’re “exploring” and more like you’re walking a straight line with an insane number of curves. Sure you’re moving a lot, but the journey wouldn’t have been that different had it been a straight line all alone. Only difference is the absence of tedium.
Retro collecting in general has become such an expensive hobby for me. I wanna drop the hobby some time before my late 20s but I’ve been saying this for a year and there’s no signs of me following up on that.
One thing for sure though, I am definitely falling out of love with the hobby.

Re: Random: Used Book Retailer Half Price Books Is Selling Zelda: Minish Cap For $400
@-wc- I do echo this sentiment actually. Certain rare games do deserve to be more than $60. Depends on the game of course.
Re: Random: Used Book Retailer Half Price Books Is Selling Zelda: Minish Cap For $400
Bookstores here in Kuwait started selling video game stuff too. It’s a little surreal.
Re: The "Worst PlayStation RPG Ever" Is Getting A Fan Translation
