Hitchhiker’s Guide
Hitchhiker’s Guide
I’m in my 30s and we had them all throughout grade school.
Songs of Conquest if you’re looking at turn based 4X games.
I believe the N64 was huge in the US, Canada, and Japan, but PlayStation dominated that generation overall. I always preferred the PS graphics, the library, and the controller personally.
It’s kinda weird that the N64 seems to have a much bigger legacy. I think it’s because of Nintendo’s ability to make timeless games that are remembered more fondly than PS ones, but I would argue that games like Spyro, Tekken 3, GT2, and SotN aged just as gracefully as the N64 classics like SM64, Smash, Mario Kart, and OoT. Plus you can play them on a normal controller.
I’m the same: I used it a ton when I first got it and now it’s collecting dust. Here are my personal issues with it:
I guess I essentially just wanted a Switch that could use my Steam library for 2D indies and older games.
Aside from that, I think I also kinda bought it to rejuvenate my interest in gaming, but it only did that for a few months. That has nothing to do with the Deck though.
Everyone likes to circlejerk about revolution or whatever, but for 99.9% of people in developed countries, life is too good to put it on the line.
I like dunking on poor journalism as much as the next guy but Microsoft isn’t just some local office in Redmond. They’re a giant international megacorp with 200k+ employees. Their PR is 24/7. If they didn’t respond immediately, it means they don’t care to.
Bean, chickpea, and lentil dishes last a week in the fridge (probably more tbh).
Also, if you have a desk/cube, a great tip I picked up from a vegan friend is to keep a jar of peanut butter and a spoon in your drawer. Before I became remote, I would eat about 2 tablespoons at 10, 3, and 5. Probably not quite as good as the protein balls but cheap and effective.
The oil companies made me do it.
This means people in the test market are clicking on those ads. Not much we can do about it at that point - it works therefore they’ll use it.
I love reading judgy comments from people sitting on their ass watching a stranger do something incredible.
I wonder that any time these statistics are brought up. Like 100 companies are responsible for 70% of greenhouse gases - well isn’t it cause there’s 8 billion people buying their shit? They’re not just running those factories for the fun of it.
The majority of the aluminum in circulation in the US is recycled. It’s significantly more than even glass and paper. The reason is because it’s much cheaper to use recycled aluminum than raw.
But you’re right when it comes to plastic.
It’s not exclusive to older generations unfortunately.
I just want to know where it is so I can make sure to avoid it.
In Western news and media, everything has to boil down to a good vs evil story. It’s part of the reason our society has become so polarized. In reality, there’s often no good sides in a conflict.
10 years ago I was like “why tf would I want to watch someone play a video game when I could just play it myself?”
Now I’m like “why tf would I play this game when I could just watch someone else?”
I guess I’m still interested in what’s going on in gaming in general, but I don’t have any desire to go through all the bullshit of a modern AAA game with a huge repetitive open world, dozens of half assed shallow mechanics (rpg/perk system, loot, crafting etc.), homogenized design, predatory DLC/mtx, and all that. I’d rather play Factorio and watch a streamer play whatever hot new game people are into.
Babe wake up. New US weapons package just dropped.
