I have played and finished both Bubsy 1 and 2. Neither of them was worth playing. The mechanics are those of a Sonic game without rings and deprived of the spin dash (charged and otherwise). Playing as Bubsy requires constant eggshell treading: everything kills you, including fall damage. In even the most brutal of "unfair" games - I Wanna Be the Guy and that cat Mario game come to mind - death is quick and reloads are fast, minimizing frustrations with a hit of "I get it now" dopamine and an increasing knowledge of short, manageable levels. Bubsy's levels are vast and labyrinthine. Death comes with several seconds of cartoonish animations, sound effects, and voice clips before plunking you at the beginning or middle of a level that just killed you with an 8 pixel gumball fired out of its dispenser two full screens ahead. -

I recently watched the one where A-ko and B-ko have to save C-ko from some intergalactic universe destroyer. Lots of very well animated, stupid fun. I imagine it was influenced by women's wrestling as was Dirty Pair. -

@noyoushutthefuckupdad @All_bonesJones I dropped XKCD long ago, but I like this expansion/commentary on the original comic. -

Office jobs will definitely drive a man insane. I think the advent and large-scale use of the computer made the "office job" intolerable. Before the mid-20th century, men could work in an office keeping records and such by hand. It was probably still boring, but it involved doing some mental arithmetic and handwriting. A man could point to reams of paper stacked in a room nearby to remind himself of all he'd done. Now office jobs involve cold calls and data entry and other things that are done and stored via computers. A man can't see where he's come from, much less where he's going. It's like being placed in a desert and told to head in one direction one day and another direction the next but without any landmarks or road signs or even anything on the horizon to show that you've made any progress. -

That's a fairly crass view of anything: "If I can't use this for the single use I would like to get out of it, then it's worthless." It's caveman levels of insight and creativity. -

Roosevelt's potrait in the center shows just how much the dems idolize that Benedict Arnold. -

Aside from throwing his stale, 40-years-long weight around, what does Mitchell do for a living? -

It looks pretty, but it's still basically an expansion pack of a game I already own. Can't own Air Riders. -

Buy the cartridge, but it's merely a key to unlock the download of the game. That nonsense. -

???
I'm talking about the fact that the Switch 2 "game cartridges" are merely keys to unlock the download of the game on the box. They're not actually game cartridges. Am I wrong in this? -

> so pretty much every other game is a key card
Yeah, I still don't see the reason to buy a Switch 2. My gaming habits remain in the past, and a console with spy-potential hardware and a library of mostly digital-only games does not appeal to me. Like I said, I can play Kirby Air Ride on my Gamecube just fine. -

> a potential story mode that was maybe hinted at in the end
Dark Matter (and 0) would be nice relics to show off, but I think Sakurai would be better off doing something new. He has amazing ideas, but the Nintendo culture stifles him to work within established franchises. -

@Graf recommended TorGuard to me, and it's been okay so far. Some servers are finnicky for some of the streaming sites I visit and for fedi, but it's better than paying a jew for ExpressVPN.

Finally finished Crypt of the Necrodancer!
Started playing years ago, then dropped it and picked it back up a few times. I hunkered down and powered through Aria's mode. I'm not doing Coda because I have a life outside of this game.
The gameplay is the star here (as it should be with most video games), and it is perennially refreshing. It's a shame more companies don't take risks with ideas like this more often. The mix of rhythm game and dungeon crawler is genius and, so far as I'm aware, completely original to this game. The plot was kinda thin and cheesy at times, and I cared little for the characters themselves. Their design is lower-mid-tier and uninspired. The monsters were interesting, though, and great visual music puns.
Needless to say, the soundtrack is A-tier at least.
Overall 8/10. The difficulty is very high later on, but it's not unbeatable. I hope some other studios do more games like this with better aesthetics and more engaging narrative elements.

I didn't get Goldeneye when it first came out because I had no interest in FPS games and other games had multiplayer that was more fun. Also, Final Fantasy VII is a 3D RPG and it sucks. -

Anyone know the source for this music and background? Is it Metal Gear? 007?
