This is purely about ownership. Like if my kid gets a PS6 for his birthday, is there an understanding that it's his to do what he wants with? Or does it get added to all of my systems as well as one big shared family game room?

oh. if it's a present for someone, it's a present for that person 100%

you can buy YOURSELF a console on YOUR birthday (or on christmas/other holiday addressed to you from santa or whatever) and let your kids use it, but if you're getting a kid something it's theirs

you can always set rules or whatever if it's a house item & not exclusively theirs, to prevent them from bringing it to a friend's house (scare them into thinking it'll fall apart the instant it moves)

i would treat it the same way my dad treated his sci-fi, fantasy, d&d, and comic book collection

they were clearly his. however, outside of anything that is explicitly intended to be re-sold, they existed to be enjoyed by anyone who would appreciate them

maybe keep it all packed away somewhere in your room, and only bring any specific thing out when you want to share or your kids are asking for it

it can help engender some excitement about the past/now retro gaming. your kids will be into things because you are into them. i remember feeling a sense of pathos when i sifted through my dad's old jack vance collection. i also decided i liked the games missile command, asteroids, and space invaders because my dad had played them.

Summer break - pokemon
Visiting my cousins - Zelda & star fox
Thanksgiving - avatar TV show
Halloween - not playing video games, we're getting candy

Haven't gone back to replay these ever, it's more like when I think of the game I think of the time I played them

I have an issue with Noita, though, in that no matter what you do for early runs nothing affects a later one, at least with as far as I've gotten in it.

The genre you're looking for is called "roguelite"

foolm0r0n posted...

Which is why it took until the very non-Rogue Rogue Legacy to make the genre big.

Wait, is this real? I thought binding of Isaac, spelunky, and gungeon were the big names that really revitalized the genre in the modern era, and slay the spire was the breakout card one. Also FTL. Shows how much I know, I guess?

based on what you said, Noita might be your best bet.

it has a very deep customization/strategy aspect to it. it also simulates every particle in the dungeon so you can do unique/tricky things involving blasting walls, setting oil on fire, etc etc, on your way to discovering a bazillion secrets

Spelunky 2 is pretty much best in genre and has a lot of knowledge to learn, although your powers don't vary *quite* as much

the stuff other people have recommended are decent as well. depends on what you're looking for- roguelikes are an extremely dense genre

I like Greek mythical creatures better but like Norse tone and gods better

Voted Norse

this is a good take. greek monsters are fantastic. this also includes the ones made up by homer/virgil

I learned a lot about Greek/Roman mythology in school, so while it's super cool it's kind of old hat

I think Norse wins just because of how dark it is and the whole ragnarok thing

Greek mythology is dark in its own way, but it's more rapey than metal

My friend who has a PhD in cognitive science tells me that porn addiction isn't recognized as an actual condition

My uncle will probably be homeless within six months and there's no way in hell anyone in my family is helping him out or taking him in. He hasn't worked in decades, my grandmother could never retire and worked herself to death paying all his bills. He's finally burning through the last of his portion of the inheritance from her and once that's gone he's on his own as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, I think every family takes care of their own, but there's always a limit, conscious or not

I meant that as more of "we dont have to wait till someone dies to get their money" a lot of money is generally open to share among family. just ask if you need it and family will help out or vice versa, rather that than your son or father to live on the streets

oh. i think that's just a human thing tbqh

what family lets their family live on the streets?

also to the answer the question i am not getting an inheritance

pretty sure people just get drained of everything they own to pay for medical expenses before they die

I'm intrigued. If there's no inheritance, what happens when someone passes away? Where does the money / assets go?

GTM is describing it oddly, because there literally are inheritances

the family matriarch and/or patriarch kind of directs spending in most aspects of life. i think it's generally assumed that there will be someone in the next generation that steps up to help manage things long before they pass on, then become the new matriarch/patriarch

that new family leader then doles out money as needed. the point is that whoever inherits the main accounts isn't ever a surprise, and the new management doesn't really change anything

yeah, licenses are kind of a big deal among the open source community, although i can't remember the last time a case was pursued

i suppose the way to do it legally is to sell a device that has a button to download and install the software yourself

it makes sense that they got in trouble for selling the ROMs

You don't think that selling hacked systems for profit should be bad?

How many cfw apps come with a disclaimer like "this software is free, do not pay money for it"? This guy was exploiting that.

Wait, they were reselling physical systems and not just software?

So it's kind of like buying a car, souping it up with a more powerful engine or transmission, then reselling it?

Yes

A game is only good if it involves a large map with towers you can climb to reveal the nearby map, in which there are icons of all the activities you can complete to eventuality reach 100%

There must also be a progressively improving statistic based inventory system based on your character level, as well as no less than three perk advancement tracks

There must also be a mission table, at which I can send npcs on all sorts of fantastical adventures described by text, at the end of which they return resources to me. It's so easy to implement- any game that doesn't feature this is pathetic

Lastly, if I'm not allowed to buy additional skins with real money the game is also bad
