Having a platinum trophy be obtainable and reasonable should be the expectation instead of some mark of servitude to a game.

And with that Im now officially without a car in production that gives me the james may fizz.

I know this feeling. I have someone about to move in from the city no car lifestyle with me and they hate cars with long hoods.

I want the answer to the fruit matching game to be announced by cannons shooting whatever fruit is the answer into the middle of the stage. 

slime climb is turning into the ninja warrior of this game.

I may try for more of this if it’s bringing something unique but that first episode just didn’t resonate with me. It just seemed so trope heavy and the shots easy to call from that first episode. 

In 1996 I had never seen CG that blew me away like that. The motion of Yoshimitsu’s hand, Paul’s bike, and the crowd walking around Jun were so lifelike for a young me that only knew video games as a “kids toy” that no adult took serious

It’s a crime that the Tekken 2 opening sequence wasn’t included in the arcade release.

That actually scares me, but the fear I have more is in the way a company will try to follow the profits like Konami, scandals rocking companies to the core like zero labs, or license deals evaporating like even Ubisoft and EA faced with Scott Pilgrim and the NCAA games. Not to mention the constant turnover and…

Something that is unique to the younger generation is that the items that we normally held tangible and nostalgic for are becoming momentary appliances at best and irrelevant at worst.

While its a kicker that certain games went wild in price, atleast with pso the base game still covers the vast majority.

I recognize that its a dying way and that its not reasonable; for most people playing in the now is all they need. But Ive seen too much that servers, companies, and perceived value arent to be trusted. So while I will buy a digital only game, im still heavily invested in physical. 

While I get it from a business standpoint, the hobbyist in me finds discomfort in the direction as a whole.  

I was amazed at how good the pump it up run came through. Getting good audio with three fans blowin. The runner performing for a solid hour. And giving so much time to read donations

Im less dissapointed cus i got cool “aesthetic” merch from the deal. My big folly is Unsung Story. 

It seems to be stuck in early access limbo, i dont think theres been any update in atleast 3 or 4 years

This reminds me how much hope i had for drift stage

These are all cool ideas, but its gonna be real weird having to commit three types of cables to charge my ps3, ps4, and ps5 controllers for one console

Through all this I have been assembling what I can only call “Outbound Mountain”

Thats a real similar setup to my rig fx 8350, 16 gigs ram. My graphics are more period correct with a 780ti but I will say even a crummy dramless ssd breathed life into that computer over harddrive only
