I just wanted to have actual, official ones shared!

This one is not official, it was done by a girl who goes by https://www.instagram.com/p/CQZUoIJrW26/?hl=en&img_index=1, she just tried her best to make a photo in the ‘style’ of the old Y2K era, and the days of PS2 ads and…everyone ended up believing it was real. She did such an amazing job of it, this one often gets shared as if it were done for Sony.

And…to be fair, the actual official ones got way worse than those I included:

hoppolito,

Heh this post blew my mind twice in one package: I was definitely one of those that believed it was a real ad. I distinctly remember some discussions about the serialized nature of it or not. So as you said, super well done.

But secondly, the official ad you posted instead has three nipples at once? And one male two female on top? That almost seems weirder to me.

Are you sure? That’s just a nude girl in the background. Where are they getting away with that?

France did the ‘panties’ ads, there were three of them all up.

You can find them here

Here is another which has explicit exposure, this one from Chile has exposed breasts, also. And far more obvious to the viewer

JustARaccoon,

Oh god how is that meant to boost PS2 sales 😂😂😂

Hey- you can check out The Gamers’ Tavern if you wish. Here’s an invite link: discord.gg/xxReRYGF4r

Apart form the Discord, we’re pretty much only Fediverse based and host our own Mastodon and Peertube instances, among a few others :)

Noerknhar,

Sounds fun, thanks!

It’s wild how crazy ads. The Mouse one for the GBA Micro still pops up into my head every once and a while. And my friend group still debates whether Mario is hiding a Tribal Tattoo somewhere

I’m interested and invested in the fish ranking now as well, please do.

I cant’ do zombie games anymore, so I was happy with only watching the tv adaptation. But your screenshots show the amout of attention to detail and care that went into buiding this world, the atmosphere looks phenomenal, I might watch someone else do a playthrough.

One day i should shared the Water Ranking and Fish Ranking, it would be fun. Maybe for the one year?

I haven’t seen a video playthrough, but if you can’t do zombie games i say it’s fully worth checking out. At the very least to grasp the details

Little typo on the code of last image.

Other than that, great read, as always.

i’m surprised it took me this long to make a typo on the code. Thanks for the catch though lol. The perfectionist in me wanted to correct it right away

The nineties was the best decade.

Not low effort posting IMO, this is a part of our culture & has historical value.

Radical, as all your posts are. How the heck do you find the time?!

Oh this was nothing. My ‘news’ posts take me some time, and effort, which is why they’re kinda on pause right now (the 17th is when I see my specialist, get blood results, see what is next etc), so for now it’s this kinda thing - smaller!

But thank you so much, glad you enjoyed these :)

xspurnx,

All the best to you!

this isn’t low effort. These are freaking great!

Best I found was a Discord server called “dads gaming”. Rather than whiny youngsters, you get middle aged med who have little time for gaming, so they play casually and are happy to play with others who are also mediocre. I haven’t used this for ages though.

Noerknhar,

Sounds lovely!

cRazi_man,
@cRazi_man@europe.pub avatar

A lot of people are interested in what you’re asking for. You could try making a server.

fluxan,

I fit this description! Can I get an invite via DM, please?

cRazi_man,
@cRazi_man@europe.pub avatar

I don’t have invite permissions for the group I’m talking about and I found the channel on Reddit (back in the days when I used to be on there).

Having a look at Reddit now, there are still dad channels to be found: discord.gg/papasquad

Here’s another one: discord.gg/h6PkhgPjRC

Happy for anyone interested to add me: discord.com/users/crazi_man

(UK timezone, very erratic and limited gaming hours)

fluxan,

Thank you!

Really want to find GBA Tribal Edition in the wild—if it actually exists.

PerfectDark,
@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

if it actually exists.

Its easily available, but I suppose by ‘in the wild’ you mean picking it up in a secondhand store, rather than online marketplaces. If not, have a look at buyee to pick up a bargain.

Interestingly they command a higher price than I expected on eBay.

MentalEdge,

Definitely exists. Still have mine.

Might not be exactly vintage but it is getting close to 20 years old (ouch my age).

The Halo 3 advertising campaign.

And specifically this “Believe” video.

I cannot describe the emotions of excitement I felt for this game to be released. Waiting for the midnight release for this game is still one of my favorite memories haha. And once we got the game, the hours and hours of fun with friends… really was something looking back on it.

pulsewidth,

Halo 3 was peak.

I know some don’t like it because of some choices they creative team made that weren’t exact to the lore of the games, but I’ve been enjoying the Halo TV series. Had some moments that reminded me of the campaign and game series highlights. I’d say it’s worth a watch if you’re a fan - don’t be put off by the initial backlash.

Thanks for sharing!

The Swedish GBA ad campaign is very unique!

Whatever we gained by losing these, it was not worth it.

I picked up FFIX and installed the Moguri mod. I thought people were overhyping it, but it really is like playing the game for the first time again. 10/10 would recommend.
