The Cube's library being smaller means the hits are near universal meanwhile if you ask someone to pick out their favorite PS2 RPG/Racer/Fighting game and might get overlap but also a wide variety of different stuff.

Nah but for real, nostalgia via hindsight is magic bc you get to skip thr real-time waiting experience for games to drop and instead be able to bounce from title to title as soon as you can afford to.

The shriek I let out when I read this.

I wish people jerked off the GC less so prices could go back down.

Dolphin is cool, but it's not the same.

Tonight at 8 PM 👀

Took my time, but it's great.

Very worthy follow up to Odyssey, definite GOTY contender.

There is never any guarantee of any opportunity you thought you had, and there are cases that it would have probably made your life worse in the long run, instead.

Thinking about an occasional missed thing is fine, just don't let it ruin your whole day obsessing over it.

The best mental health tip I can give people is that dwelling on "could have/should have/would have" is the biggest waste of emotional energy you can ever do, and that energy should be spent on thinking of ways that'll improve your life now or in the long term instead.

❗️stream(s) announcement❗️

Koei Tecmo was kind enough to send me Wild Hearts S to stream over on my twitch. I'll be doing a handful of streams in the coming days about it.

First stream is MAYBE 5:30 PM today if I have time after work.
Then we'll see you on sunday for MP!

Rare is one the studio who's current form and output is absolutely the result of their own creative choices and desires but N64 kids who are desperate for another Banjo game insist it must be bc Microsoft did something or w/e.

It wouldn't suprise me if the game starts you with either no or specific value of oil and his behavior only checks oil value instead of if you have the item or not.

It's weird because you'd think he should check inventory values, but you'd likely only run into this problem if you cheat anyway.

Honestly my favorite other example of something like this how Twilight Princess handles whether or not he lantern guy gives you it or not.

It's a hacky solution, but deeply utilitarian and I kinda love it.

Tl;dr game checks if a robot master is dead via weapon energy per weapon being at a specific value, and the energy balancer just fills that weapon up since all it cares about is if it is lacking energy or not, hence the boss skip.
