FPS on N64 pad LMFAO

You were doing an average troll job before this, but you just outed yourself. GoldenEye was THE game to play if you were alive and of age at the time, and but FPS really on the console map. Dismissing it just exposed your scheme. Gotta tighten up the troll game, homie.

Easy, elect me to government, considering all spend money they don't have.

Watching Maher morph into a chud has been so weird. Religulous feels so far away.

Did he also say the same about Trump, being only 3byears younger?

N64 had some of the most iconic games of all time, that are still loved and hold up to this day. First time 3D entries that solidified many IPs that are still hallmarks today.

It's N64 and not even close.

Ngl, TC sounds like a Gen Z virgin shut-in that lives in a bubble reality. Sorry, people still leave their homes to meet people. This ain't some Neo Tokyo world yet.

And? People are idiots. They also keep voting Mitch McConnell in.

This. Is why we need safeguards like age limits, because the voters can be wrong. They often are, in fact.

Once a representative becomes ingrained in a populace, it becomes the automatic reaction to just keep voting for them. And her district is safely Democratic, meaning the alternative is a Republican. Which also mean no one ever primaries her. Ergo, politicians in office forever.

It's less that the people want that, more that the system supports it and forces it to happen.

Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2. Playing Metroid Prime Remastered rekindled my desire to play GCN games. Ditto Killer 7.

But I have enough games on my plate. Still nor done with Totk, but almost.

Anything more than a one night stand would be a no, but yes otherwise. I don't need to agree with her to do a hit it and quit it one time.

Because some of those things are a Catch-22, in that it is an unknown if it's unwanted or not until attempted. That is literally what flirting is, and it's the first example. Attention and drink.and others are vague and also highly situational. Putting that on equal footing as grouping (which is always unwanted by default) is how you screw up a well-meaning message and poison the well.

Just say "no means no."

Modern music is fantastic, stop sniffing your own farts

Sorry, modern mainstream music. Which is more of less the same as what I said. I'll acknowledge that, as a whole, there's more access to a diverse range of music.

People literally say this every generation.
They said it about the Beatles ffs

No they didn't. The Beatles were the first global music stars, and the state of music at the time was extremely tepid. The world had never seen something like them before.

We've seen plenty of Taylor Swifts. It's music produced for the masses, dumbed down to the lowest common denominator for maximum exposure. It's still surprising just how rabid her fans are, though.

https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2023/09/gop-congressman-calls-for-execution-of-sodomy-promoting-us-army-general/

Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) called for the execution of General Mark Milley, the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in a homophobic tirade this weekend.
In his newsletter this weekend published to his Congressional website Gosar accused Milley of being a homosexual-promoting-BLM-activist who delayed the militarys response to the January 6 riot. An election denier, Gosar has in the past claimed that he started the revolution, referring to the insurrection.

In his newsletter over the weekend, though, Gosar criticized Milley for not doing more to stop the insurrection, referring to Capitol Police Chief Stephen Suns testimony in committee last week that the January 6 insurrection was an intelligence failure and that several agencies didnt react to it quickly enough.
But the blame was squarely on Milley in Gosars newsletter. But even after approval was given, General Milley, the homosexual-promoting-BLM-activist Chairman of the military joint chiefs, delayed.

He said that deviant Milley worked with then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), conspiring to hurt President Trump, and treasonously working behind Trumps back.
In a better society, quislings like the strange sodomy-promoting General Milley would be hung, Gosar wrote. He had one boss: President Trump, and instead he was secretly meeting with Pelosi and coordinating with her to hurt Trump. That is, when he wasnt also secretly coordinating and sharing intelligence with the Chinese military.

Remember when the GOP supported the military? Me neither.

That really sucks. Plat also has been a little meh recently.

Also, where is my Viewtiful Joe 3, Capcom?

"One Pace is a fan project that recuts the One Piece anime in an endeavor to bring it more in line with the pacing of the original manga by Eiichiro Oda. The team accomplishes this by removing filler scenes not present in the source material. This process requires meticulous editing and quality control to ensure seamless music and transitions."

That's pretty awesome, thanks!

I mean, people have been asking for a Pokmon MMO since MMOs were a thing. Pokmon Go, being far and away of how a real Pokmon game should play, never the less showed the insane appeal potential. Especially if they integrated capturing Pokmon in real life with the MMO.

It was really weird to see people hype up FF16. Like, I thought it was general consensus that FF hasn't been good in years.

just shy of 60b, actually.

more specifically, 56.1b.

Read the rest of the post. Market cap =/= worth, especially when talking about Japanese companies.

You started off by scoffing at my (factual) claim that Nintendo is a very rich and lucrative company. Using what what one company paid to buy another isn't a counter-argument to this, and isn't even a good benchmark, since overpaying vs. actual worth always happens in company purchases. Just go ask Elon and Twitter.

They are starting their downswing again. We have to wait to see what happens

That won't load for me, but I see the sentence how they are down this year from last, 3.25B vs 3.9B. That's not atypical, considering the Switch is at the end of it's life span. Normal revenue deviation that doesn't counter the fact that they are very rich.

McSame_as_Bush posted...

I agree with most of this, but I think acquisitions of talented smallish studios can be a good thing. It's hard to imagine Nintendo without Retro.

This is true. A studio like Retro probably would never get off the ground without a big one like Nintendo bankrolling them. That makes sense for smaller acquisitions, but it becomes concerning when big publishers buy other big ones.

ConfusedTorchic posted...

microsoft paid more for activision than nintendo is even worth lmao.

nintendo, while lucrative, is not worth that much in the global space. about 57b.

lol no. Nintendo is worth just shy of $100B. MS bought Activision Blizzard for $69B, all cash (nice). Market cap isn't the same as actual worth, and Japan doesn't use the rampant market speculation that America does to value index a company. It's the 3rd largest company in Japan.

People also seem to forget that it owns 1/3 of Pokemon, the most valuable IP in the world.

ER>DS3=DS1>DS2. Never played the others.

Kinda what reincarnator said in terms of why. All have a plus and a minus virtually opposite to each other in the DS line.

I feel like ER was the final polished form, but man, too many of you are too forgiving on how much is bad with these games. Like, ER doesn't have basic shit that other video games from 25 years ago did. No minimap, bad general map, horrid targetting) I thought games collectively figured this out when LoZ: OoT showed the world how it's done...why does ER have me target a crow from 1000 miles away vs. the 20 foot boss in front of me?), a plethora of weapons and the styles to try but not the material or grind to do it...and so on. The "zomg so hard!" sheen has worn off when you realize it's just enemies having broken mechanics like no counter openings and endless combos, and rolling behind them was abandoned but replaced with no good substitute. The great lore and atmosphere can't mask the fundamental mechanical flaws for these games anymore for me.

So we'd actually get Nintendo games on PC? And maybe Nintendo can take some money from their legal department and put it towards developing new hardware?

It might actually be the best thing for Nintendo. As it is they are very toxic.

But I'm pretty sure it would never be allowed, they are the third and only other console competitor.

Man, this is a lot of bad takes in one post, wow.

SinisterSlay posted...

Well considering they keep losing money

Wut. Nintendo makes money hand over fist, always has. Out of the gate, too, unlike MS and Sony, which normally take years for them to turn profits on their newest consoles. Nintendo is an extremely rich and lucrative company.

Anyways, this won't happen, and good, as it would be disastrous for video games as we know it. Mergers and acquistions are rarely good for video games as a whole anyways.

Donnie Darko, but it was more stupid. Pretty sure the movie itself didn't know wtf it was doing.

Yeah, I haven't seen Wave since the Geek topics ended.

I feel like that is worrisome.

Remember when the Right pretended to be pro-military? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

It's a shining example of the state of the current Right-wing that an ex-football coach with zero politics experience from one of our most embarrassing states is single-handedly kneecapping the entire military because he's a radical fundy who is now also hiding behind a buzzword that neither he nor his ilk can even define when pressed.

Like, satire can't even write how clownish the entire Right is. They are a parody of themselves.

ParanoidObsessive posted...

...why couldn't you see me before?

I @ you in the Baldur's Gate topic, but somehow you ended up on my ignore list, and I have no idea how. I thought you had legit left GameFAQs or something, until I saw someone quote you yesterday, so I dug around my settings. God knows how long I had you on.

I thought the same may have happened to Wave somehow, but nope. He just seems to not be around?

Now that I can see PO again, to piggyback, I decided to boot up FO4 again to "play with" my gf, and immediately fell through the world geometry upon leaving after character creation. It's just inexcusable.

ParanoidObsessive posted...

It's not even really reviving a long-dormant franchise as much as it is rebooting it.

Cameos from Minsc and Jaheira don't really make it a Baldur's Gate game. It's closer to being Divinity: Original Sin 3 set in Faerun.

This is all true.

Also, I o ly now realized I somehow had you blocked, @ParanoidObsessive . Fuck knows how that happened. Here I was starting to think you left GFaqs (facepalm).

Zareth posted...

It's amazing. GotY for sure

That's almost assuredly TotK to lose, but that will be the debate.

Zareth posted...

Yeah, no

Except yeah? This isn't up for debate and is universally known. I've had to do 5 save roll backs alone, 2 because my dialog interactions vanished with an NPC and my character sat there staring at the screen for nearly 5 minutes. And I onlying just got to Act 2. This is nevermind the staggering amount of performance glitches - for a game with stunning facial animations, the immersion sure does suffer when eyeballs suddenly pop through eyelids.

There's confirmed game-locking bugs and Act 3 is bloated mess that make all PCs chug and struggle. I'm dreading hitting it after running in my buddy party in Act 3.

If you've somehow played BG3 and managed to avoid these issues, then congrats, you are divinely favored. But it's a well known issue with the game that needs to be addressed, bless Larian for trying. I suggest you head over to the BG3 Board for some of the more "amusing" anecdotes.

Zareth posted...

Again, no

Oh, it definitely needed a way more robust tutorial. Especially if it was going to attempt the movement and placement of XCom and Mario & Rabbids and miss the finesse of either.
Zareth posted...

There is an inspect key that explains literally anything you mouse over, what are you talking about

Which isn't the same as actually explaing what they do and how anything is relevant, of course. I don't mind having to intuit a few things, but the game drowns you in concepts and items and systems that absolutely take a lot of down time to get going, when more proper introduction to the games elements would have gone a long way.

Yes and no. There's a lot good, like the story, character emoting, lore, depth, etc.

There's a lot to dislike, like a ton of bugs and glitches, a confusing and ill-explained combat system...actually, virtually everything in the game has little to no explanation, and the game throws a LOT at you. It has a lot of clutter and clumbsy design choices as well.

It's definitely being over-reviewed for being something different and reviving a long-dormant franchise, but it's fun all the same.

I hate that all star is associated with shrek, an awful movie, and not the mystery men, an awesome movie.

Whoa, whoa. Both are great movies.

It certainly holds up well and it's deviously funny for a Disney Animation. It also plays out much differently than the other Golden Age animations. It's a great movie.

He was a terrorist in that he is a known White Supremacist with ties to 1/6 terror groups who declared his desire to harm people at the BLM protests, and then made special arrangements to get a high capacity semi automatic rifle, lied about being an EMT, lied about being asked by the store owner to provide security, and took the deadly weapons to the protest where he harassed and threatened people.

...and ultimately two people ended up dead.

Ideologically motivated.
Stated his intent to harm those he disagreed with.
Made steps to acquire a weapon.
Took the weapon to where he would likely find those people.
Two people end up dead.

Sounds like a terrorist to me.

This. He went there with the express intent to be "provoked" so he'd have an excuse to shoot someone. It couldn't be more obvious.

Even cheaper than that, IMO. You can get a decent Gaming PC/Laptop (for streaming, mainly) for $500-$600 Bucks.

Eh, I was hedging my bets, since there's no agreed start place where "gaming PCs" fall into line. For example, you could get ones for $600 that technically will run games, but might struggle, whereas a PS5 wouldn't. All depends and all relative, but the point indeed stand that these consoles are getting carried away with this nonsense.

Plus, they aren't adding any new services or anything. It's just more expensive just cause.
