it also didn't really help when towards the middle of the video, there was a good handful that you could not get working or couldn't play at all. i understand adding it for completion's sake, but it bloats an otherwise already long video that is in desperate need of being trimmed down.

this was why my takeaway on the video was that its interesting as a reference on a topic and not much else, the inaccuracies are just an added annoyance. its an interesting topic for sure, but you can't really add anything new to the discussion when you rapid fire through everything in 1-3 minutes.

honestly i think i was just kinda annoyed that day lol
but i do still feel that the format does not really fit the volume of games and a more focused approach where you discussed only a handful of jp fps games would have been far more interesting than trying to cover the 50+ games that you did.

now to be fair, the other licensed counter strike project, cs:nexon, does have valve listed as a co-developer. though far as i can tell this is because it includes all content from cs1.6 alongside nexon’s own additions to the game. far as i can tell, cs:neo is almost wholly original.

i don’t really think that’s fair to say they co-developed them. let’s take the half life expansions as an example. yes, they build off half life 1 and re-use assets and locations from the base game. but no one says those are co-developed by valve, not even valve themselves

it is still a very important thing to mention as it being an arcade game as that informs much of its design and gives clearer context to why the game is the way it is. yes, that fact does not change your perfectly valid opinion of the game, but it is crucial info you’re withholding from the viewer.

in the case of re survivor 2, its very easy to find pictures of the cabinet and most articles mention it so im not sure how this was missed. for cs:neo, the details are a little muddy both in english and japanese but far as i can tell, valves only involvement was approving namco’s use of the license

the main part i recall was the bit about shooters ready, though it looks like you already cut the incorrect section out. a couple others i could find was that you didn’t mention re survivor 2 as originally being an arcade game, and the insinuation that valve had a hand in developing cs:neo

code fairy had the opportunity to make something pretty cool with gbo2 gameplay… but unfortunately it’s just kinda lame. most of the campaign maps i played were just empty flat maps with trash mobs spawning and nothing else.just way too easy for the type of game it wants to be.

i have some qualms with it being a post game unlock/digital deluxe early unlock, but bandai adding a true perma death mode to their new sao rpg is such a massively ballsy move i have to respect it lol

try 大きい犬 if the game allows kanji (i assume you are trying to name him big dog)

that’s what im hoping!! it’s just kinda bizarre lol

radirgy swag is really fun but uhhh i think rs34 forgot the english translation lmao
all the essential text is translated but most of the messages are left untranslate. not a huge deal to me as the game is still worth it but what the hell lol

playing some doj on my lunch break via internet archive and i highkey have 0 idea how people play stg on keyboard this shit is torture

i like to be vague about it anyways cause that shit sucks lmao. most of the time im just calling it “X:TEA” on here 😭

if any of you ever get a desk job i beg you: never use zip ties to do cable management. just 1 is too much. 7 is sadistic.

i’ve kinda put off posting about my work ever since limiting my use of the other site as its an awful use of my time but my god. the shit that happened today was genuinely like unreal and felt like some sitcom tier bullshit

RS34の日です

i swear i don’t use reddit but i saw this post yesterday and i have to wonder what was going through this person‘s head that made them think this was something they should post

this is awful but really, i don’t know who is surprised by this. plenty of speculatory market apps have been making money off allowing people to bet on world events that people suffer under for a while now. it makes sense that once armed conflict makes the news, they’d allow that too.

it’s funny being an arcade game player but having 0 affinity or nostalgia for this specific aesthetic of arcade. this looks like hell to me

hop on the assasins creed shadow cabinet guys

my boss made that one id look like a smart ass if i did that, but next time im in the office sure
