Thank you for the information!

And for not jumping down my throat for disturbing the consensus echo chamber with a cautiously skeptic dissenting opinion, even if it was slightly misinformed. It's a learning experience for everybody, yay!

The part about optics still applies, I believe.

@BLD

I guess I'm getting my titles mixed up. Like I said, complete outsiders perspective, don't taze me, bro!

Dude has been milking this thing for years! It's almost become a parody of itself. It's gone full Metallica.

(Update: The next day after spending all night moving into a new place and not looking at my phone)

Whoa, buddy.. looks like I failed to read the room on that one, hahaha!

Homeboy must have done something right if legions of random internet users are willing to defend his honor by dogpiling on a person for making a dumb joke, as tactless, ill-informed and badly timed as it may have been. I guess I forgot that words cause physical harm these days.

I sincerely apologize for poking fun at The Greatest And Best Video Game Developer In The World. I hope we can still be friends, and that your day and future days are filled with abundance and joy.

Okay, time for me to get back to work!

I have a soft spot for the Game Boy, but the clear case for Famicom Salamander is extremely rad.

Also, bonus points for the Famicom carts for being the size of an audio cassette case, so most storage for cassettes can be used for FC as well. Thank you Sakurai for that gem of wisdom!

Siiiiick stuff. The NES/Famicom shooter made by former Compile people and now this?? Exciting times for fans of retro shooters!

Edit: almost forgot about Earthion. Stoked on that one too!!

If Jill joins the crew in the future, hopefully she's in the middle of the group photo. If you know, you know, hehe.

Three Houses all the way! I liked it so much that I went from the highest high to the lowest low when the continuation of the 3H story turned out to be a Warriors game instead of an actual sequel.

I eventually picked up Engage for cheap and bounced off of it around Chapter 20.

I'm hoping for an eventual Genealogy/Thracia remake to get me back into the franchise like Shadows of Valentia did.

@Picola-Wicola

I am the same!!! That makes two of us on the entire planet.

I've been frequenting this site for over a decade and this is a first. What a relief!

To answer your question: The only thing you're missing out on is the ability to fully relate to any other person that's into video games. But that's ok, individuality is important!

I watched one of the best films ever, Terminator 2, last night. Kill it with fire before it does the same to us!!

How much loose change do you have to pump into the gacha machine to get one?

Coming soon: "Small business owner" spending 100 yen and flipping it on ebay for $25.

@OldManHermit

Rolled into paper tubes for, uhh... convenience. Yeah, convenience!

Just looked at the roster. No Animaniacs representation?? Slappy the Squirrel would be awesome. "Now dat's cah-medy!"

And I'll just leave this here as well:

Private Snafu!

I ordered Triggerheart Exelica from them I'm pretty sure, but I'm about to move to a different address. Go ahead and take my no-longer-accurate personal information.

Also, sick avatar, @miwa!

A few decent looking ones, though they seem like they could benefit from a giant adrenaline syringe of badassery plunged directly into their hearts, resembling the album cover for Judas Priest Ram It Down meets that part from Pulp Fiction.

@AllieKitsune

Hot dang, I guess I was unaware of that fact. Thanks for the info!

Still waiting for the physical version to go on sale. $40 is a little too rich for my blood.

Now the question becomes: Did the killer give the victim the Brown Bag Special before or after they were murdered??

(Horatio from CSI: Miami puts shades on)

@Shiryu

A flight stick would be badass!

I'm holding off for the Switch Online Sega Saturn Virtual-On stick, coming in 2032.

It's strange that the physical version is Europe only. Coming soon to LRG, I suppose.

@Bunkerneath

🎵 Every time an adult says their first console was a 360,
I die a little,
Every time they say PS3 is retro,
I wonder why a little 🎵

🎵 He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp,
Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken,
To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away
And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin! 🎵

I speak for my fellow Iowa natives when I say, "something something Caitlin Clark something something".

@Joeynator3000

That is rad, I am in the same boat with the bullet hell genre. I want to be good at them, but I'm just not, haha.

@Joeynator3000

Thank you for the reminder to get the physical version of Crimzon Clover ordered! Never played it before, but I've only ever heard good things about it.

@BLAZINOAH

That is wild.. sorry you have to have to deal with that over there! Hopefully someday the Sharp Stick and Side-Eyed Glance Ban will be lifted and society can return to normalcy.

@-wc-

In Iowa, you can carry a samurai sword around as long as you're not trying to conceal it.

Last Halloween I played a show and no one at the venue batted an eye at my machete-sized, actually-sharp-as-hell Rambo 3 replica knife strapped to my leg.

I've only ever seen the box art to this title. This was my reaction to the trailer:

A Fire Emblem announcement would be very welcome, to get the bad taste of Engage cleansed from my palate. That title has shaken my faith in the franchise. Just please Jeebus, don't be an Engage Warriors game.

Crisis Force and Yume Penguin Monogatari! Both 1991 if I recall correctly.

Aww, I was hoping for a physical release of Cyber Shadow, or some extra content, or something.. that game rules!!

DO IT NOW, there are still some PS4 ShotTriggers titles that haven't made the jump!

@LikelySatan

Being a musician is pretty similar, finding out how low the actual music is on the priority list.

I'm at chapter 4 and 5 with everyone and I've hit a wall where every boss just destroys me, even though I'm leveled higher than the "recommended level". No idea what I'm doing wrong, I must suck at it. I probably just need to cheese them with some specific item or ability, I just haven't looked it up yet.

Shovel Knight II: Link to the Past meets Actraiser. SNES style with Mode 7, transparencies, and a dash of Super FX chip. Mostly top-down with occasional side-on platforming sections.

Shovel Spirits: Saturn / PS1 era Cave-style shooter. Horizontal, so you can dig to find alternate routes, with gratuitous amounts of "fan service" and a Cyber Shadow cameo.

Pre-Year 2000, so I guess the Saturn, PS1, N64 era.

@Notsoavid

Ha, my thoughts exactly!!

The end of Wind Waker, with a slot in Ganon's forehead that the Master Sword can fit into.

Awesome mask maker
Not-so-awesome band

Sincerely,
Heavy Metal fan from Iowa

And not one thing shaped like a tube. 2 out of 10, not tubular enough!

Team Service To Others getting absolutely obliterated by both Service To Self teams. Lack of faith in humanity restored!!

I missed the "Gen" part and was like, yep, ten games in a year sounds about right.

It's fun when they do it for fictional products, like the play-by-play commentators doing ads for Chork in Triple Play '99.
