I don't think your PC even needs to be good enough to actually do the emulating, but unless it's 20 years old it should be able to handle that too. Rule of thumb was 10 the processing power of the machine you're trying to emu, but if 8 bit is all you're gunning for you can literally just do that with anything made in this decade. --- |

| WhiskeyDisk 11/04/18 12:43:15 AM #50 | Well...at the end of the day, at least on the Marvel side, if a character isn't shown on-panel with Death, they aren't actually Dead in the capital letter sense of the word. In DC it's even more ambiguous since Death is Gaiman's thing and as far as I know he hasn't touched DC since The Wake and I'm not sure if anyone else is even allowed to mess with the Endless. --- |

Even if he's grown to resent Dresden, it's still his meal ticket and if his other works are any indication, he's got fuck all to work with past that.

But can literally anyone explain Sinister's obsession with them since outside of the Phoenix Force there's arguably over 2 dozen more mutants with more useful powers than Scott fucking Sommers? I hate Cyclops as a character, I always have. I can't think of a single reason why his head wasn't separated from his body by anyone that could get within melee range for 30 years, and it seems like everything you can trace back to him is shit on every level. --- |

I don't want to get in the middle of a nerd pissing match here, I've just had more convos in the past on the subject with Ent. As much as I'd like to shit on Pern, I haven't read much of the books and my main entrance into fantasy past Tolkien were Weiss and Hickman novels or Terry Brooks and his Shanarah books. Dragonlance gets all the love but I'll go to the grave wishing Darksword got more exposition... --- |

I doubt that Monty Python or HHGG does anything for you either, fine. That being said, Jim *has* complained more than once about something he wrote originally as a lark to annoy a professor of his has gotten legs of its own. I'll give you that much, he very well may be an author that has grown to hate his creation...but it's also his meal ticket. Codex isn't going to happen any more than "fetch" because nobody gives a shit about codex, as much as he wished people would care about it. That being said, it's the same way I look at Stanhope retiring from stand-up. It'll hold out until he needs a paycheck, then he'll be back on tour, out of retirement for the 5th or 6th time. All we can do is wait for it...and each time it's going to get more ridiculous than the last time. I'd rather Jim write what he wants when he wants than him rushing things and ending up painting himself into a corner like he has two or 3 times already. --- |

Damn, I actually forgot about Forge in that whole love hexagon, I'm never really sure about where I stand on the whole 2099 timeline. It was a great space to experiment in and there are a lot of good stories there, but there are just as many stories there that Marvel cant backpedal out of fast enough because anything within 3 degrees of seperation from the batshit obsession with Scott and Jean is still a goddamned hot mess to this day and it poisons a lot of the X stories all around. --- |

Black Panther and Luke Cage were always tokens if we're being honest and Sam Jackson Fury was late to the party...but holy shit we both know damned well that Wonder Woman is NOT the rabbit hole the SJW crowd wants to go down. Old school Wonder Woman is not the Rosie the Riveter that they think she is...by miles. And if we're being honest, Black Panther jumped the fucking shark the second he married Storm, because why the hell not despite years of building up LoganxStorm going deep into pre-2099... --- |

WhiskeyDisk posted...https://imgur.com/a/jb8j31B I'm not disagreeing with you at all, but I do have the feeling that Ent is the best resource on the subject, hence my summoning. I'm pretty sure Entity has literally read them all so I'm just going with what I regard as the final word on the subject. Personally, I don't really think Pratchett was trying to take the piss on the whole fantasy thing anywhere near as hard as Jim Baker was trying to because despite Pratchett dying and all, nobody is crying about any possible unfinished novels, whereas Jim is very much alive and well and holding back on the very much hyped Post Apocalypse Trilogy which might only be behind the next JRRM novel in terms of anticipation... Pratchett never managed to back himself into a corner, and at.least JRRM has left clues and DOS disks should he die abruptly. The thing that worries me most about the Dresden files novels is that in the event of an unforseen car crash we may end up with the sort of thing Doug Adams kids have hacked together post mortem. At least Pratchett had an unreasonably large canon by the time he'd passed... --- |

When I visit discussion threads here for various comic book shows, I see almost nothing but (unwarranted) vehement hatred of many female protagonists. I don't have much reason to believe it would be much different for the actual comics. As much as I like Supergirl, I can't deny the fact that every episode of that show has been hamstrung by a mandatory 10 to 15 minutes of lesbian drama ever since it folded into the arrowverse. --- |

| WhiskeyDisk 11/02/18 10:49:55 PM #23 | To be fair, Marvel and DC have taken very different approaches in the whole sjw gnashing of teeth. I get that the X-Men were always an allegory for the civil Rights movement, but on the one hand you have Cassandra, Barbara, and Catherine... meanwhile Marvel makes Jane Foster Thor. If I'm being brutally honest here, DC wins the SJW battle before it was even a thing despite Marvel always trying to position itself as the winner in the virtue signalling department. --- |

Revelation34 posted...Zikten posted...i'm not sure what my full top 5 would be but my favorite ps2 game of all time I think is Robot Alchemic Drive. there are a ton of great games I love on ps2. but that one is the most unique of them, and I loved playing it. if you never heard of it, you play a person controlling a giant robot. in the sense that you are controlling your character, and the character controls the robot. you don't ride inside it, though you can sit on it's shoulder but it's hard to do. usually you stand on a rooftop or something where you can see the robot good and control it with a remote. and you play Rockem Sockem Robots with giant aliens. it's really cool It IS a really fun game and the controls actually make a lot of sense once you think of a PS2 controller...differently. The gameplay is solid. The voice acting on the other hand is so very, very bad that it's unintentionally hilarious. R.A.D. really is a hidden gem of a game on that platform. I can't think of anything else even remotely like it. --- |
