What a game! I spent many hours playing this as a kid and some more as an adult!

In some ways yes and in some ways no.

Data and information are now more widely available than ever. Of course, misinformation is also more widely available than ever.

The new web feels devoid of passion/ humanity. Gone are the days of self funded sites that existed “just because”. Now everything has to generate revenue to stay afloat. I do miss the days where it felt special to be on the Internet, whether you were hosting content or observing it.

It’s a good idea to do that where you can, but some engines mount their oil filters sideways or even upside down.

In these cases, some cars have a “clear flood” mode that will let you crank the engine without it starting. You can use this to pump oil though the engine for 5-10s and help prime your oil filter. For instance on Subarus you can hold the accelerator to the floor while you try to start it to engage this mode.

Yes and no. For example I’ve seen this response to the argument “new music is bad”. It’s a valid response to “I think something is bad, why does anyone enjoy it?”

Elon didn’t program a thing. He paid a crony to do it for him.

That looks absolutely fantastic. Well done!

As long as the month comes before the day I can get behind it.

In loving this sort of alternate reality we’re getting to see with these ports. What if GTA3 made it to the Dreamcast? What if Doom for 32X were more optimized and had better development? What if the power of the N64 was better understood when Mario 64 came out?

All these scenarios and many more are playing out thanks to some wonderful projects. I look forward to seeing how Wipeout might have looked on a console that so badly wanted to be a part of the PSX/Saturn/N64 battle.

How do you differentiate old from new? I can just create a fresh copy of whatever I’m storing and it’ll look new.

But the Amazon doesn’t make money so it’s really just taking up space

Rappers used to rap about trying to be like Trump. I can even think of a skit where Method Man had him make a voice memo for him on one of his albums.

People idolized him because of his rich image, unfortunately.

B88B88 is DOODOO with a reflection

It created a genre. And it was surprisingly competent at what it sent out to do. In hindsight it was a miracle. Brand new technology harnessed to birth the 3D platformer. It was amazingly ambitious all around.

Mega Man X. The first one for SNES.

It was such an evolutionary leap forward from the previous MM games. Everything was bigger and better. The graphics, the music, the controls. It blew my mind at the time.

lol this thinking right here contributes to the problem. “The bigger bottle HAS to be better, right?”.

If people would stop and read to see what they’re spending their money on, we wouldn’t be buying larger quantities of mostly water-based products in favor of more concentrated versions.

60 loads for the 24.3oz or 72 loads for 64oz…what am I missing here?

I can already see it. “I didn’t start this trade war! Canada did!!!”

To think the CD-i, 3DO, and Jaguar were all “next gen” only to have the PlayStation/N64/Saturn (hey it did really well in Japan) absolutely blow their doors off is hilarious in hindsight.

Granted, it was a very uncertain time in gaming. And maybe these high dollar systems weren’t trying to directly compete with the younger market of Nintendo/Sega. What did the mature gamer want? More bits? CD-ROM multimedia adventures? Something you can put on your entertainment center on top of your VCR that isn’t just for the kids? These were all promising directions at one point in time.

Ultimately, the PlayStation and Saturn would come along and refocus on the games themselves, making 64 bit gaming seem irrelevant and essentially killing FMV-based gaming. The arrival of the N64 would solidify this.

It was an interesting time in gaming. Units like the CD-i and 3DO commanded huge sums of money and offered very little back in the way of quality gaming. Some people bought into the hype thinking they were buying into the next generation when the industry took a very different direction.
