Not really tho.

It’s silly how some of them do this while simultaneously pushing ugly and aggressive policies.

- Comment on Thief 1 & 2, the grandfather of the stealth genre 6 days ago:
A neighbor of mine gifted me Thief 2 Gold Edition when I was younger and it blew my mind. Getting to eavesdrop on the guards having random convos, and getting caught because I didn’t drag a body out of the way. It was wild back then. I’ve been tempted to play it again but I’m not sure how well it’s aged and I don’t want to ruin my memories

Man, I forgot all about Kongregate. Flash games with achievements was a cool idea.

Wait, some countries didn’t have letters on their dialpads? Maybe this was just a thing in English speaking countries?

- Comment on Were you blessed to experience this masterpiece? 😼 2 weeks ago:
Was there a difference between this and PSO on the Dreamcast? That game was a masterpiece.

Yeah, there are different models. I have a first gen North American one. I didn’t realize some had swappable batteries.
- Comment on Built to last 2 weeks ago:
That’s fair. I’d consider myself fairly new to it all, I’m not passing judgment but it’s worth checking out a vid on how to do… If you’ve used a soldering iron once or twice you could probably handle it.
You may also want to (or have your person doing the work) replace the single-shot resistor fuse with a self-healing one while they’re in there. Both parts are on the controller board. The fuse is notorious for blowing, and that can make the whole system unable to detect your controllers.
- Comment on Built to last 2 weeks ago:
The battery is soldered in, but it’s dead simple to desolder and replace with a proper battery holder so you can easily replace it down the road. Just make sure 6ou remember to use a rechargeable.
- Comment on Aight. Let's be honest. How many of you dress for yourselves, and how many dress for others? 2 weeks ago:
I dress for myself unless I want to try to exploit something, then I’ll dress to fit in because a lot of normies are stupid and actually think different types of clothing means something.

- Comment on What's your greatest "gaming high" you've been chasing ever since? Please take care not to spoil anything, if you are going to be story-specific. 3 weeks ago:
Whoa, I had no idea! I played the ones on the PC-98 a few months ago and thought they were quite enjoyable. A bit frustrating at times, but overall I enjoyed it.

I dunno if it was a high per se, but I used to love playing Dreamcast with my friends at lunch every day in high school. I dunno if I long to do it again, but the memories are nice.

Holy shit.
Also, it still blows my mind how Puyo came from a sick-ass dungeon crawler series. I wish they’d make more Madou Monogatari dungeon crawlers… 1-2-3 on the PC98 were fantastic.

I don’t get why you’d call the manager to try to negotiate anything… Dude made a joke, all you had to do was make a snarky quip back while you were scanning his shit in?
Imagine if he asked how you were, would you call your doctor and ask for a checkup?

I dunno, I think that may go to the demoscene release groups. Gamefaqs stuff was okay though.

Users are getting dumber by the day. The people arguing back to me about “this is a you problem” when I mention reasons why device ownership is important is way too fucking high.
This is why you gatekeep hobbies. Keep the dipshits out so they don’t become the masses that ruin what you enjoy.
