I loved those few years where CD-ROMs gave us a lot of storage but GPUs were relatively primitive so a number of games essentially filmed B-movies for their cutscenes. Wing Commander is a prime example. Love it.

Modern lighting is an unsung hero of technology.
Itโs super cheap, it lasts forever, itโs highly configurable (colors), and safe (little heat).
Itโs incredible considering we were on candles not that long ago in the grand scheme of things.

I was just starting to feel comfortable with a Game Key Card for Star Wars Outlaws when I booted it up and learned that the game _requires_ an Ubisoft online account. ๐

In the early days of the GPU wars, the PC version of Forsaken would auto-play in stores to show off how powerful a computer was.

Everything is dark, techno, and complex.

I missed most of the Game Cube and Wii generations so Iโve been slowly figuring out where a few โnewโ Nintendo characters came from.
Met this one tonight!
Star Fox 64!
Still really fun. I bet newcomers would enjoy it today.

Just guessing of course.
