In the Video Game Business, it’s not estranged to find video game companies doing casino things. Konami doing pachinko for example, which lead to them pissing a lot of their IPs off to pachinko machines that were themed.
Hell, Nintendo licensed to Konami to do Mario Roulette which is a medal game.
And they totally wasted a new Earthworm Jim game on that thing.
But yeah, Tommy Tallarico had a personal vendetta with Pat the NES Punk for a while, taking swipes at them as he was covering the whole issue on his podcast the CUPodcast. It’s a really wild ride from beginning to end, if it ever did end.
Which is hilarious because they were both part of the reason the video game market crashed back then.
They’ve been this way since the late 90s and 2000s. More publishing than doing. Sometimes they’ll throw out a Atari Classics compilation but that’s it.
Google search needs to just branch itself off into several micro-search engines. It is useless as a general purpose search engine.
Again, try searching ‘skillet’ and you’ll get more results on the band with the name than the pan itself. Make a media-based micro search engine where it’s nothing but music, movies, shows .etc
But as big as Google is, they won’t do it.
One would think.
Linux costs next to nothing compared to Windows. So if companies want to cry about having to save on budget, go with the better option for it.
Who the fuck needs Office 365? Nothing has really changed on that software for years, it’s still the same shit. I don’t see anything different on Microsoft Word 2007 from it’s 365 counterpart. People are getting scammed.
Unless you’re on Enterprise/Education - 2027
And that is when you start seeing pockets of people defend their favorites. Very hard to gauge.
But I don’t see a lot of people defending the Castlevania games on the N64. If you were expecting Castlevania to hold up to it’s legacy if you picked N64 over PS1 back then, you were in for a world of disappointment. And there were no released Contra games for the N64 either, there was a canceled title, but no known releases.
There’s a point here. The N64 too had a significantly lower count of games than the PS1. The PS1 had like three times larger the amount of games with 1,278 than N64. So there was a lot more options to pick and choose from. And there were definitely superior versions of some of the games listed.
But it is sort of like the Genesis vs Super Nintendo comparison. People can list banger after banger off of the SNES library that it easily fills a Top 50 list, whereas people can list maybe 20 good Genesis games? So I do believe that’s where a lot of the favoritism stems off from is that, Nintendo had to make their games good for the N64, least the first party titles. Everything else off of it were really more misses than hits, you probably had 10 underrated gems that people now talk about (and pretend they always were that when nobody had a clue back then).
What turned me off from multiplayer games was the entitled obnoxiousness of the other players. Playing with others is cool for a few minutes, but if you run into several shit players, ruins everything. This is when the whole “if all you find are assholes, you must be one yourself” rhetoric does not apply when it comes to multiplayer games. People just choose to be bastards.
I remember how many damn licensed games came out during that period. There was just almost a game for everything, it was nuts.
American Choppers had a game. Hannah Montana had several. Let’s give Dukes of Hazzard a game, let’s give Starsky and Hutch a game. Do they have to be good? Nope, they never were but let them be a thing anyways.
Ooooo, I’m so not impressed that your only breathing existence is to dig through people’s post history to connect something insulting. Get a life, dude.
Then get the fuck off of it.
Seriously, it’s on you the longer you stay on that shithole platform. Despite all of the warnings. All of the things Musk has done. You’re still on it. Why? Besides member count, why? Why stick with something that actively hates you and works against your best interests?
“Because uh, muh friends…”
Get those friends off the fucking platform too. If they’re staying behind, consider getting new friends.
Mastodon and Blue Sky are better alternatives. Get the fuck off of X. Get some damn self-respect for once.
Lol, nothing of value was lost.
I miss r/Coomer though, it existed to mock and insult people who have a very unhealthy habit of masturbating and sexual addiction (particularly to lolicon). Like, fuck, sex and masturbating isn’t bad on it’s own but it shouldn’t be your god damn identity.
I don’t care if the screen can heal itself from creases. Over time, it will possibly develop creases that’ll still be made. Because phones aren’t fucking books.
Sorry I’ll just stick to my bland ass rectangular single screen phone, thanks. Oh and I’ll stay with Samsung too since I expect rightfully that when Apple rolls this thing out, it’ll be $1,500 and it’ll have a bunch of drooling status-seeking fanboys falling over to get it.
I just want phones to be fun again. There’s a YouTube series literally called ‘When Phones were Fun’. Where a guy presents all of these models from different manufacturers in the 2000s that all had these crazy but unique phone designs.
Small phones, sliding keyboard phones, compacting phones, media device phones .etc that just had character to them.
But no, we’ve been living in an era of phones where they’re just a series of degrees of rectangular shapes. This one is tall, this one is a little wider and it’s just boring. Flipping the phone inward of itself isn’t really that interesting because it’s just a flip phone now with a screen that can do it.
I wonder what it was like for all of the fools that ever bought an Oculus headset and might’ve been force fed anything Mark projected on that thing.
What a world we live in, huh?
We’ve got corporations who’ve successfully contaminated the world with their waste in a systematic fashion.
We’ve got corporations who’ve blindsided the political system.
We’ve got corporations who’ve blindsided affordable living.
We’ve got corporations who’ve given us a filtered and artificial companion in AI.
And now we’ve got a company that is actively seeking ways possible to ruin your way of being and living through chip implanting.
Enjoy the world, people.
I’ve never mentioned the software store.
And not every single piece of software is on it.
And yes you’ll still need to use the terminal for more than just updating and installing software. Kinda routes back to my problem in regards to transitioning from one OS to another.
Disgusting…
Fuck you for ruining Humble Bundle, IGN, you fucks.
