I imagine the hate-clicks from GenXers and retro-game enthusiasts do wonders for Laughing Boy’s engagement

ayyy great game✨

I’ve probably sunk several years into this

Unforeseen,

Me too, over 1400 hours. I use a lot of mods. I take a break for a year or more at a time and then get hooked again. I’m trying to wait for the NPC update until I do again

I have a friend who was really trying to convince me to preorder this garbage

Same guy who refuses to play older games because they “look bad”

Amazing game. I need to play more of this. Love your daily screenshots! Keep em coming!

JackbyDev, do games w How did Call of Duty get to this point?

Feels disingenuous to say “open beta” and require a purchase. Just call it beta early access like every other game.

lepinkainen,

“Open beta” lets them erase progress if they want.

“Early access” usually implies that you get a head start on the normies

Crashumbc,

Not sure why you got down voted, that is exactly my understanding.

SomethingBurger, do games w How did Call of Duty get to this point?

People buy this shit so they make more. Simple as that.

cyberpunk007,

Blah blah blah, supply and demand.

I swear the less A’ a game has in the context of “AAAA”, “AAA”, etc, the better it is.

In recent years I’ve found more niche or mid sized studios have my interest at heart. The more A’s a game claims to have, the more bullshit predatory crap it has, micro transactions, etc.

I prefer gameboy (really it’s a PSP)

SpaceNoodle,

I’ve actually turned into an Old Man and have referred to the Switch as “Gameboy” unironically.

TachyonTele,

The red Gameboy

lemonmelon,

The Virtual Boy?

TachyonTele,

Excuse me. It’s called “Mans Crowning Achievement to the Gods”, not just the virtual boy. Show it some respect.

Assman,

Crowning achievement to optometrists maybe

I say DS for Switch on accident all the time. Like I just had such a good time with the goddamn DS. And yes, the fucking 3ds is also a ds. That was my youth and I’m too old to change monikers now!

Ah, Super Nintendo Chalmers, welcome! I hope you’re ready for an unforgettable luncheon!

tiredofsametab,

Same. Not sure if it's generational, regional, or a combination of the two.

velxundussa, do gaming w NES

Rough translation, but here it was “Ordinary Nintendo”, as opposed to the Super Nintendo

dandu3,

Yep, Nintendo ordinaire. Lol

accideath, do gaming w NES

I know too many people for whom „a Nintendo“ means a Nintendo DS. Perhaps a generational thing.

AI_toothbrush,

Same for me and most people i know a nintendo is a ds(and the ds and 3ds are kinda the same for most of them)

Blackmist,

There are undoubtedly people out there who still use “Nintendo” to describe literally any videogame system ever made.

dejected_warp_core,

It absolutely is.

As a kid, everyone’s parents (boomers) called NES cartridges “tapes”. Considering their generation had a lot of experience with 8-track, cassette, and VHS/Betamax, it kind of makes sense. I guess every generation has this.

accideath,

Yea, for my dad, everything you use a controller with is a PlayStation and every handheld is a gameboy. Funnily enough, he never had either one and I also didn’t have a PlayStation until I have moved out. The only noteable difference for him is the Sega Master System, because he did have that as a child.

tiredofsametab,

everyone's parents (boomers) called NES cartridges "tapes".

My parents were very much boomers and I've never heard this. It was 'games' or 'cartridges',

hobovision, do games w How did Call of Duty get to this point?

That has to be a meme post. Black Ops SIX? You’re joking. This is a picture from 2018.

accideath,

Nope. I also totally missed even Black Ops 5 existing. But then again, what I’m looking for in a CoD game (good split screen offline local multiplexer with a decent selection of maps and not too much bullshit) hasn’t really been met since BO3. All newer ones are either online only (in varying degrees of awfulness, ranging from no splitscreen at all to splitscreen with two activision accounts required) and/or have a terrible split screen layout. Haven’t tried WWII though, so far, which might still be good enough (and interesting due to less bullshit than bo3, my current fav that isn’t from the 360/ps3 era)

Rhynoplaz, do games w What types of math games are ideal for children?

Best math game EVER!

Grangle1,

That and Math Blaster. Good times.
