It came out in 1992, at the end of the NES lifecycle. The SNES was already out and many people were only interested in games on that platform. This is why end of life games like Little Samson did not sell as well as they should have, and consequently, only had one small production run. That, in turn, is why these games are among the most expensive and sought after by collectors. There are just way less of them out there! I would love to have a Little Samson cartridge, but I don’t have $3000 to spend on a Nintendo game lol

As an IT person, I assure you, I do not believe that you actually restarted it.

I think you’ll find, if your look deep, that the average customer IS DUMB AS FUCKING BRICKS AND DOESN’T KNOW WHAT FROM WHAT, BIG NUMBER GOOD

You are conflating Internet service speed and mobile generations. I work for an ISP. I hear this all the time. Especially since there’s also “5G WiFi” which is 5 GHz band. People confuse it all, and it’s understandable but still annoying.

My company offers 1 Gbps service. No one is getting confused by that yet, but our modems have 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports now, and I had a customer that was outraged the other day because “Your modem is only 2.5 G and all my devices use 5G! You need to send me a 5G modem!!” FFS

Blue Jeans and Bloody Tears was the best AI song ever.

I bought FFXVI on launch day and decided to go the story difficulty. Best decision ever, and such an interesting way to do it. You basically get these special rings that make aspects of the game easier, like dodging and attack timing. You can always unequip them if you want to try the game with harder mechanics. The rings also take accessory slots, which you only have 3 of, so you have have to consider things like “Do I want this agility boost? Or my time-stop dodges?” Interesting to trade out game nerfs for stats or other effects.

But yeah. Story modes are great. I played Horizon on easy. Had a blast and didn’t get frustrated.

Does Alt+F4 not work well enough?

Dragon Quest XI also! I love this feature. Final Fantasy XII-2 also did it in a nice cinematic way, like you’re watching a show, with snippets of cutscenes after a voice says “Final Fantasy XIII-2, the story so far…”

Pasting my comment from elsewhere in these comments here: The first time I run a game, before anything else, before a developer logo, a splash screen, ANYTHING: I want a screen with volume sliders. This setting needs to be saved upon completion and then ask if you want to see this screen on every launch, or just this one.

I know I am not alone. I am tired of having my eardrums blasted to hell every time I launch a newly installed game. Some games even go back to eardrum-destruction every launch until it loads the user settings.

This shit needs to be standardized. A lot of us wear headphones and are on voice chat or listening to music or whatever when we launch a game, and the deafening EA logo or whatever it may be is NOT welcome.

OMG I know! I loved every minute of it! I just finished Discovery tonight and the found family is my favorite thing about it. The only part that was a little shaky to me was the scene where Adira told everyone they wanted to use they/them pronouns. It felt a little forced, and a little voice inside me was like “aww it’s the distant future, is this still an uncomfortable topic?” And that thought made me kind of sad. But, as a way of presenting it to the audience of the current day, I guess it was fine.

Culber is the real sleeper here because he’ll deal stealth emotional damage. That sweet smile, those deep eyes, and then he says the most snarky, sarcastic shit you can imagine given the situation. This is the only way to tame Stamets after all.

If only they could fly on mushrooms with tardigrade DNA. I wonder how pissed Janeway would be upon learning about spore drive technology.

Oh yeah well we call your quadrant the ligma quadrant.

Welcome to retro gaming! The PS2 is really the first console with much of a setup at all, depending on if your TV supports progressive scan with component cables. There is an options menu where you can set that stuff up. Most games don’t use progressive scan, but the ones that do look nice and sharp, especially on a high definition CRT TV. If you have some DVDs, the PS2 is actually an excellent DVD player, too! It’s easy and does what it’s supposed to do. I really love PS2. There’s a reason it’s the best-selling game console ever. It’s really just that good.

Ah, I see the distinction now. True. There is already a suggestion feature in the “liked songs” playlist where you can have Spotify give your a suggested song every third song. So the pop-up is just a nuisance. I see now.

I haven’t had any issues with Spotify. I’ve discovered a bunch of new artists since joining a couolr years ago. I even remember the very first. I had no idea who Token was. Now I’m a fan. What’s wrong with this kind of thing? I’ll admit it’s not as good as old fashioned radio used to be but it’s still great, and being ad-free when paid is pretty amazing.
