It wasn’t difficult for me to find direct links between the person who crossed the Detroit River and the person who made the game. Not just the Detroit Free Press article, but corroborating information across multiple unrelated sites. That’s a pretty big hurdle when your first claim here is that developer isn’t you.

Same! This is much more welcome news to me than a new Prime (although I’d also play the hell out of that as well, whenever it’s finally made).

People seem really eager to take Blossom down a notch.

I’m impressed that you were able to gather all that from what is essentially a logo reveal.

It’s really hard to explain, but like. Why do we need to translate this into the language of the colonizers? Do they really need to know everything?

It’s not really a big deal. I’m Potawatomie not Kanien’kehá:ka, but I felt like the subtitles weren’t translated for a good reason. It was kind of beautiful to not let the…

This feels like yet another one of those easily resolved “If you don’t like it, don’t turn it on” issues.

good, now what is the Neo-Classic Arcade thing?

And it suuuucks. My poor wife bought it for us because we love all the CN shows and enjoy playing beat’em games together, and we played through like two levels before quitting. It might have been an acceptable diversion for 15 minutes if it was a free Flash game on the CN website a decade ago, but as a console game…

I certainly hope Analogue figures out their stock issues. I’ve been waiting for roughly a year to buy a Super NT and have been feeling increasingly hopeless it’s ever going to happen. In the time since I’ve tried other options for playing my reliable old SNES on a modern TV, including:

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…

Why is this customer a douchebag?
