It seems that when everyone hated cable companies for “forcing” channels on us we didn’t want, we didn’t really mean it. We WANT everything in a single service instead of paying for half a dozen.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that sees it this way! This is exactly why an animated Metal should totally be a rock opera! Hey if Powerpuff Girls can get a rock opera episode, DC’s animation wing can!

That’s fair, considering how much I despise the recent trend of grimdark. What sells it for me is that Rebirth as a whole is just so full of light and hope and childlike wonder that it reminds me that hey, comic books use the word “comic” for a reason. Also, I’m almost positive they’re taking this dark as dark as it…

MS is infuriating sometimes. They don’t offer a free “kinect adapter” deal like they did with the S, and worse, they are out of the adapters entirely online (and in every store I’ve checked in with), which suggests they aren’t even going to make the things any more. The X is supposed to be the “elite” model for those…

I have somehow acquired 4 Sega Genesisisisisis .... genesi. I never set out to, but there’s the first one I bought, a model 2 with bad sound. Then I got one of the rare model 2's with good sound, then a model 1 without the copyright protection screen, and recently I picked up a Nomad.

I’ll just go ahead and play the Animal Crossing game that doesn’t have microtransactions. You might have heard it’s a rather large controversy right now.

Related to this, the best Star Trak (sic) game is the point and click adventure game for the 25th anniversary.

I have to give credit to the team for designing a combat system where the moves get more powerful and flashier as time goes on rather than the very typical “blow your most powerful stuff right at the start and if that isn’t enough to finish the fight, run on fumes for the remainder”.

Those games do look like you remember them, on the right kind of display. That is, an analog CRT with no preprocessing. That’s not to say that generation wasn’t rough around the edges, it was, but modern TVs make the games look a LOT worse than they were designed to.

Conquests of the Longbow and Conquests of Camelot are free downloads available on the original game designer’s web site. I hope GOG isn’t charging for them.

I felt exactly zero sympathy for the main character. What’s so hard about just... NOT cheating on your girlfriend? He’s painted as a victim of circumstance but all it comes across as the writer’s self-serving defense. Maybe I misread it and it’s actually a meta-commentary on how some men build up these elaborate…

My biggest issue with this movie is that it pulls one of the narrative tricks a lot of modern “teen drama” tv shows do (and I’m roping CW super hero shows into this). The double misdirect! Behold, as you think one thing is going to happen, then the story tells you nope it’s a different thing, then NOPE, suprise it was…

Oooooooooooooooooooooooohh. Carry on then.

How can I be sure they will fit on my keyboard? There’s not exactly an industry standard for keycaps.

Wait, I know I’ve seen this before...

Why are food companies allowed to sell us mysteries?

Attack on Normal Size is my least favorite anime.

So wait Splatoon 2's posting still works after the closing of Miiverse? I mean, I’m glad but, wouldn’t a unified posting system across games be better, like porting Miiverse to Switch?

AAAAAHH!

That’s entirely fair. Being more or less “outside” this whole aspect of society it’s more of a passing curiosity to me when I manage to even notice it in the first place, but this does seem a particularly egregious example and frankly Wayforward should be called out on it just like everyone else.
