• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: There's an easy way to make retro game memes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The effort that goes into adding a game to the Death Generator makes it 100% worth using, even if you can use PS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bring them back!!!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve just realised - Hammond was such a cheapskate that even the seatbelts in the helicopters didn’t work properly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I dislike it when somebody says "so" and then pauses.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe they’re just enthusiastic about the seminal Peter Gabriel album.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has anyone ever read the book series “Biff, Chip & Kipper” as a kid?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember they were graded in colours. I read them so much they ran out of colours to give me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Silverfall is low-poly and low mercy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh I see - I don’t know why, but I assumed this was a new game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Silverfall is low-poly and low mercy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh no, we’re getting to the point where PS2-era visuals are considered low-poly??

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some great retro games that I can play with my 5yo?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is true! If you don’t have a frame of reference for what is “good” (or what everyone else considers “good”) then who the heck cares, play what you want

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some great retro games that I can play with my 5yo?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lode Runner (NES) might be okay. Not multiplayer, but it’s got nice low-stakes puzzling gameplay.

  Edutainment games are a bit few and far between on consoles - Donkey Kong Jr. Math springs to mind, but it’s remarkably dry for a Nintendo game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some great retro games that I can play with my 5yo?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The 2600 version is considered extremely bad. (It’s not that bad but it’s also not arcade-accurate)

  There’s a SNES version of Ms. Pac-Man which is extremely good, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hytale, once touted as the Minecraft killer, is ceasing development⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t even have the usual “we value your privacy” lie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nexus Mods' new owners promise they won't monetise the site to death as users panic at the whiff of venture capital⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Shortly after we introduce monetisation so terrible, everyone hates it - just to test your pain threshold

  Jazz Jackrabbit.

  Boggy B.

  Leisure Suit Larry.

  The little purple dude from the Dynamix logo.

  Skunny (begrudgingly).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As The Outer Worlds 2 hits $80, director says "we don't set the prices for our games" and wishes "everybody could play" Obsidian's new RPG⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh no, someone misspelt a brand name, whatever shall we do

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yooka-Replaylee | Demo Stinger Trailer | Play the Demo Now⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone who loves the collectathon-style platformer… yeah, YL’s graphics should be the least of their concerns. I’ve been playing through Banjo-Kazooie recently and it’s SO much better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do low framerates *feel* so much worse on modern video games?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have never come across a CRT whose native “frame rate” was 24

  Ever seen The Incredibles?
