They are definitely on the easy side but that meant as a kid I could finish it and is one of favourite Game Boy games.

Kirby’s Dream Land has one of the best soundtracks too. Especially “green greens” which I love.

Chance are they will go up in value but it also means holding on to them another 5 years or whatever. Maybe sell them and specifically put the money towards something cool you do want.

Lemmy doesn’t have the niche communities and people don’t want to take the time to customise what it can do for them so get stuck in the same shit as reddit, so then they leave.

The 360 does still download game updates.

Most of them aren’t my kind of thing but I’m happy to get Hogwarts Legacy and Outer Wilds.

If you want something modern then I would recommend an Xbox One S (or a One X if you can find it cheap enough) because of the backwards compatability with pevious consoles and a lot of games are dirt cheap nowadays. Also as a bluray player or streaming stuff if you want that too.

Xbox One S or X is a really good choice if they want to buy physical games. Great backwards compatability and it plays blurays too.

Sega was pretty wild with innovation back in the day.

We’ll cut to the chase: In collaboration with multiple parties, we have recovered over 100 new Sega Channel ROMs, including system data, exclusive games, and even prototypes that were never published. We’ve also digitized internal paperwork and correspondence that reveals how Sega Channel operated, how it was marketed, and what would’ve come next for the service.

Wow!

Kula World was suprisingly a lot of fun.

xD

Rollcage comes to mind straight away. 90s and early 00s games were full of jungle and drum & bass.

Lots of people make original music now influenced by the genre, like Pizza Hotline

I have a Flip v2 and think it’s great. Very nice to use and carry around but the thumbsticks are average quality. It’s probably my favourite to take out with me.

So far I’ve tried a couple different firmware, MinUI and Knulli, and everything up to PS1 emulation is good but stuff like N64/DC/PSP can be problematic.

I’m not a fan of the genre either but this is one of the few exceptions. I started a play through (fairly) recently and it holds up very well graphically but does fail in other areas as I would say it is racist in it’s depiction of different cultures. So along with that I also think it one of the games where source code is patchy at best so I doubt a remake/post will ever happen.

I’m interested to see how this one turns out. I love the design, mostly how slim it is, but those control button things do not look nice to use.

Without a doubt yes. Always yes.

I found the game to be better overall when you bump the difficulty up to hard or very hard and avoid using vehicles.

I bought a PS5 recently so I’m going to do another run through on the directors cut version and then on to DS2 which I’m excited for.

Keep on keeping on.

Death Stranding

I went it to that totally blind and holy shit was it amazing. It’s not even my usual type of game so I have no idea why I picked it up.

I’m always tempted to try private servers but never get around to it.
