gets back to the "what does a dreamcast game look like" question in a way!

2023-06-01 23:22:21 +0000 UTCI'm sure the bible on gameboy is a thing you do because why the heck not, but I would really be fascinated to hear from someone who legitimately used that for some real purpose. The different art styles discussion was the highlight for me. In my head, the original Phantasy Star Online has lived as a very specific style. Between the characters, weapons, locations and image chat it just felt like its own thing. But how unique is it really when Burning Rangers is right there and that darn menu screen is its own amazing work of art?

2023-05-30 18:33:28 +0000 UTCStuck in a Virginia mountain town Summer School with no internet back in 1999.... Led me to read about every lore book in Baldur's Gate. The only time Lore books have ever seen appealing, offering a rabbit hole escape from the mooing cows into a Fantasy world.

2023-05-29 18:33:49 +0000 UTCThe Q having to use wifi is the wildest thing to me, it is less functional than the wii u's game pad thst way (which was $99 to replace/buy standalone) and Tim's comment about the potential bargin bin price, I said $129.99 has to the price to buddy of mines and he too said "pricing it that low would make people suspicious, it has to be $199.99." . And I kind of yielded to the suggestion with the understanding that it broadcasted locally without needing for internet. It just isn't worth it even for the niche without that convenience.
