You’re right, the tracks are pretty short. But since the game is from my childhood it just has that special something in my heart, you know? And I also agree that the controls could have been better. If you make it to the part where he jumps into the robot dinosaur (my PFP, I forgot to add), there’s a nice variety of weapon pickups to keep the combat at least a tiny bit interesting.

Either way, I’m glad you gave it a shot!

I must admit, nostalgia has an outsized influence on my enjoyment of the things I grew up with, but I’m glad other people are giving it a chance! Like the other person said, the music is a little repetitive, but a lot of games were like that back then. Not everyone can be Koji Kondo!

There’s a game for the NES called Dynowarz and the main character’s name is Professor Proteus. The game is… not great. I loved it as a kid even though I was terrible at it. The music rules though, and I’ll die on that hill.

I’ve never seen a single other person talk about this game since I played it back in the early 90s so I wanted to give it some love 😊

I’ve always been very curious about this technology, but I imagine that they wouldn’t be as good at transmitting high frequencies. I’m no audio engineer so it’s only a hunch of course. Do they sound comparable to a decent pair of buds in the ear?

Conservatives love to control the narrative by forcing people to deny their ridiculous claims, so do it right back.

Force them to keep denying that they owe France the statue so the admin will never stop legitimizing the idea with their pissbaby tantrums.

Lancia

Sad to see that name here, but they’re nothing like they were in the Group B days. At least my ultimate dream car will never have ads, even if I’ll never be able to afford the car itself 🥲

Do we have a phrase for this yet? Like, we have “bit the onion”, so would this be “planted the bulb”?

Incoming executive order to rename it “Enola Happy (of America)”

I fear that this will lead to so much Intel leaking that it will put War Thunder players to shame.

Republicans LOVE drinking poop. Pass it on.

Please! It would be such a nice improvement!

I want to get out of here :(

I haven’t seen anyone else ask, but I have to know: what’s your Linux distro of choice?

Veering slightly off topic, but I wanted to rant about it. I absolutely loathe the trend of putting each and every word on screen, one-by-one, as they’re spoken.

As someone with ADHD it’s possibly the most distracting thing with this vertical video trash format. Even worse when it’s in the center of the screen, and worse yet when it’s moving, as in this one with the huge bounce animation. Captions are useful, and vital for some people, but this…

And it seems they use “AI” for it, because it frequently gets homophones and other subtleties wrong, so now the kids who are raised by this stuff are going to have some awful spelling skills.

Alright, rant over. Gonna go yell at some clouds.

As a fellow ashamed american, I feel you. I’d keep my mouth shut if anyone asked, if not out of shame, then out of (admittedly paranoid) self-preservation.

I hope the rest of your vacation has been/is great!

I can understand not sharing the fear response, but do you really mean you don’t get it? Like, having thousands of people waiting on your every word and silently judging you on every tiny mistake, or the nervous tics that you do and don’t even know about?

I know it’s an irrational fear, but it’s still real to me 😂

Thinking about it, maybe by “get” the fear, I think you’re saying it doesn’t happen to you. I gotta say I envy you for that.

Not only that, but the sky islands are gorgeous, and you have access to tons of cool machine parts.

I would be perfectly content living through eternity in the comfort of Hateno Village

I’m sure it was your autocorrect, but for anyone who doesn’t know it, the term is “scrip” :)

Wait, I should type :( because it’s a very depressing concept.

I’d be fine if they brought back old-fashioned duels. Besides, boxing requires a level of athleticism. I don’t really know what altman looks like (and I couldn’t give less of a shit) but musk is a disgusting, pale cold ham. Seen those boat photos? 🤮

One of the reasons he’ll always be one of my favorites is because he didn’t take himself seriously and called many of his own filler jokes ridiculous. You could almost imagine him amongst the audience, laughing at himself on stage.

When I read your comment, I internalized “sorted” as “sordid.” I guess either one works!
