just a machine lurking
i watched the first 3 ones and the funny part is that I cannot recall a single thing about them. i don’t have good memory but I usually remember the biggest plot points or the impacting scenes and for these ones there is nothing other than data. it feels so weird because it means that they didn’t had a single impacting thing that the brain could keep.
i wanted to watch the new one but it’s hard to commit on something i know it’s going directly into oblivion
scream of independence
this is probably the first time I read this in english and sounds rad. it could be the name of a metal band or something
this was not my idea of gender abolition but sure as hell I would welcome it
honorable mention to outbreak. i only played it in single player mode but i’m sure it would probably enter the list if i had the chance to play multiplayer. between it and REmake were two very good ways of moving the franchise forward and keeping the formula interesting. sadly, they went the action route so we got okay-ish games (4 is great although it still ranks way below the classics for me) instead of hypotetical masterpieces.
Peace Walker has some very good things but the game is either hit or miss. it’s very short missions oriented that are meant to be replayed multiple times. it has a couple of mobile-game-like minigames that are fun and weird to play. it totally feels like a portable game even on the remaster versions. it’s recommended to play it with multiple players if possible.
story is enjoyable even if it’s a mess. it has some questionable points but overall it’s okay. it also replaces the codec calls with tapes that are literally meant to be heard on the go
can someone explain how does these beds are supposed to avoid people having sex? I cannot see a single thing that woud even be a problem for it.
also, is not that beds are a requirement for sex, but that is a different discussion
are they finally adding professional sex at the olimpics?
i think is more likely to be a “mainstream gamers do not like this” line of thought, like with motion controllers. DS and 3DS did really well, but they had always the “casual” label (analogue to the wii and motion controllers) so “mainstream gamers” stayed away from them. even with the wiiu, that had native dual screens, nintendo tried to cater to a “mainstream gamers” audience and there are too few games that actually uses the dual screen effectively.
there might be more to this, like casual audiences moving to mobile games and only “gamers” buying consoles, but i’m not educated enough in the topic to make a judgement there.
tangentially, but
loading minigames patent
what the fuck is this??? how did someone actually accepted this?? how did I not hear about it before? this is silly on so many levels. like, patentings characters jumping or so (don’t doubt something like this exist, but also don’t want to know)
the sp was clearly superior to the gba in almost anything, but it was a pain to play with (for me at least). i could have long sessions on a gba without any problem, but playing with the sp for long time was painful and uncomfortable. it was okay for rpg or games that did not require high reflexes or button mashing
I have been saying for years that dual screen (or asymetric screens. can’t really remember the name) was one of the best ideas in gaming that got fully abandonned no clue why. there are just a few games outside the ds line that actually did that and they were great (GZ did great. wiiu having two screens by default did not use it as much as it should). the DS games having usualy the map or sometimes inventory management on the secondary screen was simply great. many games would totally benefit from that
yay, the only ps4 game I ever had interest in will be playable without having to buy a sony console, nice
I hear “Lucho, no estas solo, carajo” which would translate to “Lucho, you are not alone”. Lucho is a way of referring to people called Luis (Luis Arce being the president’s name) and Carajo would be something close to “damn” as a possitive expression to accentuate the idea (not really sure how to translate it tbh)
unbound is a software that you can run anywhere to have a caching dns. opennic is a project of dns servers you can connect to to resolve dns records (think in google dns servers but run by the community). two different problem spaces. you can even use both at the same time
and non-us billions please
been thinking for a while about getting one (although probably a 1000, since I prefer the feeling overall) but i am a bit worried about the battery life and the size not being as great as I remember. also I don’t really game that much these days so it would probably be forgotten soon. that and alway wanting a vita makes this decision very hard
i still have to divide my music into “electronic touhou” and “metal touhou”

is this really the feeling people outside mexico has about the situation? as someone that lived a big part of his mandate, and part of claudia’s mandate on mexico city, I really feel like it was just a neoliberal government disguised as left populism. the biggest changes that I can remember were giving way too much power to the military and ignoring a bunch of problems.
there were a couple of things that I remember being good, but none of them looks remarkable enough to make me thing about socialism. socdem at most and I’m not even sure.
that said, maybe living the period from inside gives me some kind of short sighted view, but a bunch of people there that I know that has leftist tendencies (most of them anarchists, no clue why) have a similar readings of the situation
as far as I am aware of, she has been on the “violence is bad. both sides” side. amlo has been in the “is not a genocide but i won’t take an explicit stance” side, so I guess that is part of the reason she has not said anything concrete.
i just learned not so long ago the concept of “man cave” where they have rules like “no women allowed here” which in my opinion, sounds everything but het. but for some reason, it is considered very manly and very het
