“Henry Cavill has no range”

People generally have too much time.

Ooooooh, I get it! This wasn’t a ‘we’re just tweaking the perks for the sake of our customers’ it was ‘fuck every one of you who paid for Prime, we’re cozying up to publishers and developers on this one, and trying to sell it to you as a win.’

A steel case and Pro controller for that price isn’t too enticing...

DQ8 has been my favorite for a very long time. Being the first in the series that I got to play day-and-date of its release, and the first one where I did everything. It holds a special place in my heart because, while I was excited for it, I was also excited for the FFXII demo it came with.

Amazon: Making sure that Prime is the most useless, shittiest thing, one step at a time!

The Wonder Boy remake was top to bottom fantastic, so I’m willing to put faith in Lizardcube for this one.

I have a memory of me and my dad playing this with graph paper by our side to make maps. Not something people would do today, but it’s a nice memory.

Except Amazon implements an Uber style service where they contract drivers to do their deliveries:

And as we all know, 4 months on the internet is like 40 years or something.

From my understanding M2 is working on these, and they’ve done a fantastic job bringing a lot of different Genesis games to the 3DS. Not only do they make a great 3D mode, they added your choice of Japanese or US versions of the game (each with their own difficulties), modifiers that stand outside the standard options…

That’s cool.

If their only solutions peddled to consumers is “pay us incrementally over a long period so we can still get that $90 or more out of you” or “we want to build a universal platform where you don’t own shit” to offset the costs of $100+ million budgets, maybe they need to cease to exist?

I laughed pretty hard, here’s a star!

Considering that the additions being promised aren’t some catch-all but are designed uniquely around every game they release, I think that’s okay. There’s real work being put into elevating each game into an experience that goes above and beyond the originals.

Their Genesis ports on 3DS are stuff of legend too.

I know I was bummed when the Collection was announced for anything-but-Switch. The PC version is a really cool way to have all those classics in one program, even if they’re just ROMs with small improvements.

All I know is the Hat in Time dev said the same thing, and just yesterday announced their Switch port. I can wait.

Games haven’t seen a price hike in about 2 generations. We’re talking from the days of 360 in 2005, until today. Keeping games $60 for about 13 years ignores the combination of exploding development costs (with or without 4k), and doesn’t adjust for inflation.

Waiting for it on Switch!
