I’m a human being, god damn it. My life has value.


Cassette Dystopianism


I don’t do competitive stuff other than couch multi, but it sounds intense.


Maybe I need to limber up mentally, jeez! I’m so set in my ways that when I try to imagine any of this, my eyes start to glaze over. Like I’m scooping what you’re pooping but I’m startled at how much my mind is resisting.


I like that idea about gyro aim engagement. I think the only place I’d use that is BotW, but I’d like to go back to that game someday.


Anybody else find a use for the back buttons? I like the idea of them but I haven’t really found a great use yet.


That’s hilarious, I felt weird not saying more. However it’s not quite 7 am and I’m rather hungover, so a comparatively lightweight read was just what the doctor ordered


Thanks as always, what a pleasure


Honestly got to hand it to my PS4. I’ve had it since the early days of dating my wife, and she gifted it to me when I was a broke uni student. It’s still serving Armored Core VI, indie games, and movie nights to this day. I’ve pulled it open several times over the years to dust it out and it’s got an external fan add-on to help with cooling. I won’t know what to do with myself when it gives out someday.


PS2 slim deserves a mention, I feel.


Shovel Knight brought with it a ton of new ideas in terms of gameplay, but a lot was borrowed as well.


What the fuck is that controller. God I hate it.
One thing I know about myself though, is my instincts suck and I’ll probably be eating those words before long.


Yeah but remember the way Xbox started up? So futuristic. Boomba Boom boom SQUAAAOOW blblblbblbltingley bingley beep beep dink. That could never be retro.


A controller that looks like an old SNES with a PS2 form factor is all the retro authenticity I need


To a dad that regularly shows his kid stuff from this era, this level of validation is alarming
Wishlisted Art of Rally! Looks right up my street. Most realistic rally and racing games don’t hold my attention as much, I usually need a fictional element to keep it escapist.
Have you tried the EXO Rally Championship demo? I feel like it’s probably geared towards more serious rally fans who understand certain fundamentals of driving and tuning more than I do, but it has a really fun setting and tone. The added complexity of the 360⁰ jets and the six wheels is a hoot.
