As bad as the DMCA is, this seems like a fairly legitimate use to me?

I could totally see this becoming a separate category. Just like any other trick that ends up changing drastically how a speedrun is played. They branch off into another category.

Hmmm, no. The merits of using MC ratings to determine bonuses aside, bonuses themselves are an extra benefit due to meeting certain targets. That’s why they’re called bonuses. Whilst the methods used to distribute them could open someone up to claims of “holding them hostage” (i.e. setting ridiculous targets) the…

most of the comments in here are people who have never and will never work in software development, crunch is a fact it happens on a vast majority of projects because people are easier to move than project deadlines, especially if the deadlines already been moved before.

I don’t think it’s even possible to do something creative and not have “crunch” time at the end of the project. I don’t know a single art student/programmer in college who has ever finished all their assignments way before the deadline, nor graphic designer or anyone in the industry. Every creative underestimates the…

Software engineer here (former gamedev, currently corporate). We mostly accept that crunch is a fact of life in software development (and a lot of other industries). Simply budgeting more time doesn’t work as a general solution because work tends to fill the available time without necessarily progressing further. Some…

Odyssey has three buttons, and like two others for changing the camera.

If you play Celeste regularly, it’s actually not that bad and I was able to finish it without assist mode. However I’m terrible at grabbing the strawberries and figuring out how to unlock the B sides, so I’m grateful assist mode helped with that. The nice part about it is they don’t penalize you for using it, so you…

My considered opinion is that Super Punch Out is probably the single best game on the SNES - possibly not at the time, but it’s aged far better than now-quaint titles like the original Street Fighter 2 or the original Mario Kart, and is now the best thing you can play on the 16-bit Nintendo.

My grandma went to yard sales all the time and would sometimes buy NES games for me. She meant well but it was always the most terrible games. The two that I remember being especially bad were Deadly Towers and Mickey Mousecapades. As for a game that I bought for myself, probably Deus Ex Invisible War. Huge…

Jesus christ somebody please fire the people in charge of naming their consoles.

This is going back over 10 years now but I just remember it was a big door maybe right before the very final area, tried checking a walkthrough to see if I could spot it but I’m not certain. Simply going through this door would freeze my game. SPM released slightly after I was finally able to obtain a Wii so my…

It may have been this one:

This statement from SE tells us less than nothing. I still expect 2023 for Part 2 at the earliest. Streamlined development has never been SquareEnix’s forte even back when they were still Square and Enix.

Oh, see, I would have thought that they were going to get it all ready and then delay it for no reason, but now that I know they’ll be releasing it “as soon as they can” well that about changes everything.

They shouldn’t have taken shit down. 

This listicle is stretching the definition of “platformer”.

Also, “best”.

EDIT: Because I feel money needs to go where mouth is, I suppose I should name three myself, huh?

It’s gonna be Sonic 1, Mario Galaxy and... hm... wanna keep it strictly platforming, so Rayman Legends? That feels right. 

Hey man, trans people are dying, but please cry more for video games not being purchased enough. That is the hill to die on, FOR SURE.

I have two friends whose daughters both lied about their age to try to get close to celebrities, one was 16 and one was 17, and in both cases, the girls were the pursuer once they got their foot in the door. One never get close enough to her intended target and the other had her purse searched by one of the…

Why is this customer a douchebag?
