I think I actually like it more than Super Mario Kart.

No? It's a metaphor for an "uplifting" story that's not actually uplifting at all since it's "about someone remedying the immediate effects of a sociopolitical issue that ignore the root cause of said issue."

Sometime ago somebody posted a news story about X person/organisation paying off the lunch debt of pupils. That was an orphan crushing machine moment, why can a kid in elementary school have "lunch debt" in the first place?

This is not that, one could argue it's not that uplifting but it has nothing to do with orphan crushing machine.

I never felt the need to use a GUI for it, it's very easy to use.

Also the site itself is ancient, searching for stuff sucks over there.

C buttons are meant for camera controls so a good amount of games did have fewer buttons to use. And dpad's positioning meant for most games it served no use at all. There is no reason both couldn't have been on the same handle.

It's not as bad as I thought it was yesterday when I wrote without thinking about it too much but it's still a big step down from the SNES controller. There is a reason a lot of people prefer modern replacements like Brawler64

Personally I don't agree regarding the dualshock, all though I play a lot more 2D games than most so I'm biased.

Personally I don't see how Dualshock's subjectively sub-optimal analog stick pla–ement compares to N64's mess of a controller.

[–] weirdo_from_space 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

N64 has less buttons to work with than it's predecessor due to this stupid three handle set up. And 99% of games are made with analog stick in mind, so I can't imagine a scenerio in which holding it is at all comfortable. I don't know what is there to like here, it's a step down in every way.

360 is AAA slop, I refuse to recognize that thing as retro.

[–] weirdo_from_space 7 points 1 week ago

Doom is the best retro game commnunity.

Perfect Dark Remastered on PC is all I need.

There is no benefit to using Firefox unless you really like uBlock Origin and will not consider another kind of adblocker.

Mozilla is just controlled opposition lead by the same greedy executives as Google anyway, using it won't make a difference. It's at best 3% market share won't stop Google from pushing their crap to everyone else either.

Problems of the modern web in general cannot be solved by just another browser engine. What it really needs is simplification. A way to make it do what it does now but faster and in a way that is easier to implement, but I don't see anyone doing that in the near future.

 

ADACA is a half-like. I'm seven hours into it and everything about it is just perfect. I love the low poly art style, the story and the world are pretty interesting, the guns are all great, combat is very satisfying, you have a gravity arm with a crazy amount of range, it's just an incredible game.

If you are a fan of 2000s first person shooter games you have got to play ADACA. I used to think boomer shooters were better but I get it now, we need more shooters like this.

 

If you haven't played it, you really should give it a try. It is one of the most creative games I have ever played and is now one of my favorite pieces of fiction ever. This game is the game that made me take visual novels seriously. Before this I just though they were all typical, anime-esque romance stuff. I want to try more of this stuff.

 

Trying to do so gives the

404: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'send')

and

404: couldnt_find_community

errors respectively, do any of you have this issue aswell? Has this been already reported?
