I’ve heard a lot of good things about VA-11 Hall-A. Haven’t played it myself, but it looks like you play as a bartender in a cyberpunk-esque world and talk to the partons in your bar to get to know what’s going on in both the world and their personal lives

I got sudachi right when all that shit went down with yuzu. Had to mess with the settings a bunch, but once it got dialed in it was running really well when I was playing Tears of the Kingdom

That’s so fucking weird to drop a remaster or remake like that so suddenly with no advertising or announcement. Something about this still doesn’t feel right in my gut, so I guess I’ll believe it when (if) it does drop. I don’t even know if I am going to buy it if it’s real, I have more faith in the modders behind Skyblivion than I do in Bethesda to actually do right with their IPs

Nintendo really had their thinking-caps on tight when they decided that a third of the N64 controller was always inaccessible

I think the PlayStation 3 is old enough now that some people consider it to be “retro” (ugh 😩). But the PS3 was notoriously difficult to develop game for, thanks to it’s unique architecture. This meant that games that were on multiple platforms looked worse and ran terribly on the PS3 since the devs didn’t have the time or resources to optimize their games on the system. Even first party devs took nearly the entire consoles life span to properly utilize the hardware with Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us, and maybe Guerilla Games’ Killzone 3. Overall, it’s really disappointing that Sony made such a powerful console that was such a pain in the ass to dev for that no one really took advantage of all that power

Some friends and I play multi-world randomizers together. Randomizers modify a game so that important items/unlocks are in different locations or are obtained in a different way. I usually play Ocarina of Time and a randomizer changes all the “treasure chest” items found throughout the world, so instead of finding the bow in the Forest Temple (where it should be in the game), it could be found behind a rock in a cave in the middle of the field. I constantly have to ask myself “What items don’t I have yet?” and “What areas do I have access to that I haven’t searched yet?” It turns the game into a kind of puzzle game. There is a website we use called Archipelago.gg that lets you connect randomizers together. I can play an OOT randomizer and my friend can be playing a Pokemon Emerald randomizer, and when I open a chest I can find items from his game and he gets a gym badge, an HM, or something else dropped into his inventory. And it works the other way when he beats another trainer, he could get one of my items and I get some rupees, or a hookshot dropped into my inventory.

Gamers are truly the most oppressed class
