That was age of calamity as well tbh. Then you look at the original Hyrule Warriors... With its insane 1000 hours of sheer grind. Still. Both are favourites :p

Before I'd just have said Skype... But it doesn't exist anymore. I used to make all my UK government calls using that.

Grabbed a few retro psone rereleases lately. Croc Legend of the Gobbos? This is how you bloody rerelease something. Absolutely oozes polish. Gex Trilogy? No. Never buying another carbon engine game again. Fog. Shocking resolution. Dogshit controls and audio.

A screenshot of my development environment for my Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru colorization hack. It includes tools to edit the map, the sprites, the palettes and the graphics.

Absolutely loving my current dev environment. Working hard to finish this, believe it or not. I hope it'll be worth all the delays.

Last metal Zelda trinket. The hylian symbol. $14 in Walmart. $27 on Amazon here. Direct from Amazon too. And the prices for other ones are everywhere. Walmart had all standard ones at 9.99

I'm just happy that shiny mega Dragonite isn't green or purple :p they did good.

Walmart is first place I check every year. Usually half the price of Amazon

Textures. Clarity/Lack of blurriness. Overall resolution. I think the only thing I noticed was HDR on the PSVR2. Big effing whoop. Not going to as much as touch a PlayStation device at or near launch again.

PSVR2. I was excited for this. Second I heard about it. I sold my PSVR for about what I paid for it. Second I found out about the lack of PSVR1 support. I was out, and I'm glad. Tried PSVR2 Then tried Quest 3. HOW IS A QUEST 3 LOOKING BETTER THAN SOMETHING THAT CONNECTS TO A GIANT PIECE OF HARDWARE?

Didn't think much of my PS Portal. Wired my PS5 directly. Messed with every setting suggested online. End of the day, just not for me. Couldn't get an image I felt was worth it. I don't understand how badly Sony are screwing up peripheral hardware launches this gen.

Not saying a lot. Generally I find nothing of interest. This time I took note of a few games. Better than a Microsoft showing naturally... But damn. AAA gaming feels tired. Ready to fall to pieces.

Aside from Wolverine. Wow. State of Play is always a waste of time. I swear, gaming showcases are 90% Samey looking shit now. Flight Simulator 24 and Seven Deadly Sins Origin was about the only point I perked up somewhat.

What were y'all smoking when you were falling over yourselves to buy pac man world repac when it first launched. What an absolutely dire, dull game. Six dollars I'd like back tbh.

Heh. I got mine in the "Help" pack of three that came with Road Rash and Myst. I played Broken Sword 2 first. Magic times.

Drastically. We let it slide to such a level that we get totally ashamed. Depressed. Clean like fuck. Hate ourselves. Rinse. Repeat.

Now... Seeing I get an automatic discount at launch for switch 2. Maybe I'll just go for it. Hope I enjoy it more. I have a shedload of banjo mods to play now, so can hardly complain.

Yooka-replaylee... So. I backed the original. Bought it at launch of PS4 because it wasn't gonna hit Wii U like I'd hoped. My name was in the credits... But the game left me feeling...

Nintendo. If @nightdivestudios.bsky.social want to remake or remaster Eternal Darkness. You have my money waiting. Same with Rogue Leader. That is all.

This part of the world is definitely special. Hoping it's as rewarding to teach in too!

Isn't that ALWAYS the way? Guaranteed... Someone did that recently by deciding they were going to play Bubsy 3D :p also. Play pokemon go :p I want us to go best friends :p

I feel like they could've gotten away with using Samhain in place of Garraka (I keep thinking Baraka) but exploring ancient traps was great, use of brass/orichalcum etc... I eat all it's pseudoscience right up. I think everybody did a great job on that one.

Objectively a better movie than Ghostbusters 2. And Afterlife. Just... Packed a lot into it's running time. Left a lot of characters without much to do. I lit up like a Christmas tree seeing James Acaster, and the two returning faces from the first that I didn't know about.

I know I'm late to the party, but Ghostbusters - Frozen Empire was a bit good. It had a lot of heart. Definitely suffered with too many characters and plot points, and retreading stuff like keymaster/firemaster. But I am excited about the direction it appears to be taking the franchise in.

That's cos they're all on man-on-manc. They've been through three divorces. Now they're ready to show you how hard they *really* are.
