They’re not playing the remake.  That’s the PS2 version.

Well, the transliteration of the original title is “Ganmu”. Note that that’s a nasal “n” sound — not the hard “n” you’re used to when it’s by itself in English words, but closer to the “n” in something like “gong”.

I’ve seen several Bowsettes/Boosettes/Chompettes at every convention I’ve been to in the last several months. It’s definitely the latest cosplay meme.

As somebody who’s a big fan of both Trails and Suikoden, I think that’s a really big stretch.  The only game in the series that’s comparable to Suikoden is Trails of Cold Steel II, due to the mechanic where you wander around the world to recruit team members.  Otherwise, they’re about as different as you can be and…

So this is totally off-topic, but I just thought I’d add some trivia that the reason you can’t see a vampire’s reflection in a mirror is because historically, until recent times, mirrors were made of silver. Silver, being a holy metal, wouldn’t reflect the image of unholy creatures such as vampires. That was never…

I’ve got good news! You don’t have to understand.  If you actually want to understand in good faith, be polite and there are many people who will educate you.  If you don’t want to, you can just move along and stop bothering people.

The thing is, if you’ll recall reading his original review, he also completely missed the real final boss. In fact, he didn’t even realize it existed, which suggests to me that he skipped basically all of the optional content. Note that he doesn’t have any advanced jobs on his save files; it’s possible that he got…

> The job’s been made easier, the hackers claim, thanks to Sony reportedly housing the key to decoding the PlayStation Classic’s firmware on the device itself

Actually, the nervousness and anxiety you’re seeing are how you know it’s *not* canned.  All of the people who get up on stage and give a perfectly eloquent speech where they never once stumble over their own tongue?  Those are canned as hell.

Did you not read the part about how you can switch between art styles?  It’s not censorship if the original is still available.

People keep saying things like this, but I’ve got a decent quad-band 801.11ac router, and my Steam Link is capable of streaming games at 1080p 60fps no problem through a couple of walls.

Came here to post this.  The sampling used in this test is objectively flawed.

> I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe ... 80-hour crunch weeks. Mismanagement of some of the industry’s top talent.

All of the decent NES emulators are open source, and it would be illegal for Nintendo to port them over to the Switch without also releasing their changes to the source code, and that’s something Nintendo would never do. (at least, that’s true for anything licensed under the GPL, which I know higan is)

I know that the “capitalism is EVIL!” thing is popular with kids nowadays, but come on, seriously:

Just for reference, when you see a console update’s patch notes vaguely mention “improving system performance” or “improving stability,” that’s code for patching security vulnerabilities that were used that were used to hack the system.  Your system is not actually any faster or more stable.

Any friend who can’t handle you playing Tentacle Rancher isn’t really your friend.

Your bank isn’t a payment processor.  That’s something like Square or PayPal.  PayPal in particular does not allow their service to be used for buying digital pornographic materials, and I’m not sure Valve is going to be able to make PayPal back down in a fight.
