Cosmo Canyon’s open world slop area alone drags 7 Rebirth down to a 6 out of 10. No one play tested this or it’d have a “do it for me” button or would have been changed entirely. Every other truly reprehensible part of the game has a “do it for me” button.

It's not quite as bad once you learn to finesse the handling/controls and the horrendous navigation... but man... Even the guide I'm reading is saying "yeah, it doesnt get this bad again. Next region is sane, I promise."

Huh. I see Gimmick 2 on "Assisted Mode" is still pretty uncomfortably difficult for something that looks like Kirby. Mean. Uforia 2? Is that the play if I like medium or easy platformers? People keep thinking I'm good at games because I beat a few Mega Mans... DUDE, everything is relative.

BEGGING my fellow streamers to PLEASE stop using Tangia! I don't care if it makes for funny clips. Most voices on Tangia come from people who've very publicly said they don't want their voice taken from them this way. AI voices hurt ALL voice actors. You're better than this. Use other TTS.

I really should eat less fastfood... even the nugget-addicted child is starting to decline his FAVORITE foods because "I dont know, McDonalds and Wendys are gross..." Terms like Bag Maxxing make me want shut the place down until it doesn't look like a commercial for Soylent Green.

went to go see if you were bullshitting and got absolutely stunlocked by "bagmaxxing" we need to reverse

I'm seeing some animation from Dragonball Super Beerus. Am I missing something? Yes, the animation is much better, but I'd still not put it on par with any better moments of Z or any recent movies. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I feel really underwhelmed.

We lay all our cards on the table in the most comprehensive behind-the-scenes look at Mina the Hollower’s development there is. 🐭🍿 @shacknews.com really out did themselves! Laugh, cry, and reminisce with us as Mina burrows her way back into your hearts in this deep diving documentary. 🎥

I'll try not to blow you all up too much, but the demo is REALLY good. Tutorial, a low to mid difficulty stage, and a harder stage (I died a lot). I don't know if my muscle memory is just solid or if this one plays better than the original. OG felt really good to play/control too.

youtu.be/TCvZjiyUWBU?... Gravity Circuit 2 demo out now?! I'm listening... no really, I'm listening. The OST is amazing.

"I" have a business. My wife started making proxy decks for my stepdaughter. They turned out so good that she has been selling quite a lot. Everyone loves them... Except some guy named Mark. It's been impressive to see these cards evolve so quickly from great to amazing! www.etsy.com/shop/Hexboun...

I feel like Raiden 2 and Raystorm are two shmups I misremember as being okay at... not good but okay. I see footage of what a jerk Raiden 1 and 2 are and I replayed Raystorm recently. BRUTAL! Maybe I put them in easy mode or credit fed? My version of raiden also started you where you died.

Right... Forgot about this gem. Another moment when I knew Windows was not long for this world. The most useful error message from close to launch of Windows 10.

I always look at these things with the skepticism and practicality of "we don't need another emulation device! This is wasteful and silly." but when it comes to units that REALLY wanted specific keyboards or form factors... they win me over almost every time. Old computers, DS emu portables, etc

I think TG16 Mini really got me with it's VERY respectful UI and game selection. The whole thing feels like a celebration of the system. The menus, music, and especially the way it shows the HuCard or CD get put into the system and load.

So we have a demo for the new Castlevania. It's good. I enjoy it... mostly. I don't love how the dodge mechanic works and how it means bosses will ALL be damage sponges like most modern difficult games. The game has a vibe but sadly no music to speak of. store.steampowered.com/app/4231820/...

Did the thing! Tried not to over think it. All formative games. TONS of other games I feel deserve to be on here. I always go blank when people show off a Top 100 and I think about doing one of those. Easiest way to think of 100 games? Try to only think of 9. #My9Games my9games.net/en/share/c6c...

I suppose not every game needs some massive rundown of why or where I originally remember them from. Most can see those games and have a pretty good idea of the what's up.

I should have probably dropped an rpg for Street Fighter 2. Maybe TMNT Turtles in Time. There is no shmup on there either. Darius Gaiden or Android Assault Bari-Arm could have gone in those couple of slots. Lunar there because anime/voice work, Chrono Trigger because close to perfection.

Ms Pac-Man is one of the arcade/Chuck E. Cheese holdovers, then we got the Tengen version on NES with all the extra modes. While watching my dad play in the arcade, it was the first time I knew he understood why I liked games, but also... dude, he was impressive.

FF2 (4, the one with Cecil) was the first RPG I completed. It FELT like it took forever and I was a dumb kid. Maybe it did. The idea of exploring such a vast world was amazing to me and I really liked the characters. Then the SNES, Sega CD, and PS1 continues to feed me well.

SMB1 was the first home console game we had with our NES Power Set. I got shockingly good and can no longer recreate the level of skill I had at a time with only one "big game." Yes, we had Donkey Kong and a few other fantastic games, but SMB1 and 2 were the big boy games!

Borrowed. I played MM3 for a whole summer! Again, got pretty good. Those Doc Robot stages sucked but I could finish them consistently. I knew MM2, but this is the first time I had a lot of free time to play a MM game and understood what made it great.

Don’t sleep on Cyber Shadow either! Shovel Knight rules, but you can’t skip Cyber Shadow!

FB showed me a NES Maker-related post suggesting "What if AI was the future of NM? Here is my mock up!" and I said "I don't like it, but I'm not your mom. If it should come to be a part of NM or if you use it outside NM, just disclose. Let us choose what we consume" IMMEDIATELY um, actually'd.

Want to know why I'm in so few communities. I talk and shills and dumb people NEED to hop in, pretend they're mods and lords of opinions. "Read every comment first and there is no AI in NM" ... right the topic of the original post is "but what IF we had AI?" also casually read all 130 comments?!

I've left a LOT of Discords in the last year because of this weird pedantic behavior, a need to control everyone's opinions and words. I just don't have the patience anymore. "I don't like this game because it runs so poorly" "Be specific or you arent allowed to talk!!" ... sigh.

Replying to @kriswolfhe.art

I remember Max Dood played DMCV SE on stream and immediately noticed the picture was off. He used the Xbox quick swap feature to compare the XBX and Series X versions of the game side by side The last gen version looked so much cleaner that he flat out said, "something is wrong here"

Warming up to 7 Rebirth more and more. Open world and having a overworld map don’t serve the same purpose. It’s still very good but super weird to have to much space with nothing going on in it. That said, it does what it does well imho, even if I don’t think this is doing the game any favors.

Metroid turned 40 this year, so I'm celebrating with a couple of Metroid videos. First up is a review of the fan-made demake of the first Prime game: Metroid Prime Origins. It's free, and everyone likes free, but is it worth your time? Yeah. Link: youtu.be/XMoE8Jo5jKs

They pulled my ye olde wisdom teeth! I lived! Healing now but i think it’s all okay. Day 1 minimal pain so far. Told it tends to max at 2-4 days then gets better. Hoping i talk more clearly again since i wont have to avoid a sharp jagged half tooth with my cheek and tongue.

I had no insurance when they did this years ago. They charged $1200 and locked my roommate there in the office so no one could make a run for it (yes really). This time I’m on a baller insurance plan. Still no full sedation or gas, but it cost $70. Not sure what I’d have done without it!

No insurance is also why they only got the then-problematic side and not both. The side they left did a lot of damage as the teeth continued to grow in.
