The drinking is for when you have to make the mods work together without the game dying a slow horrible death, followed by a rather quick also horrible death
(The original calvin and hobbes comic is about the dad explaining how a point on the outside edge of a record travels farther, but still completes the same number of rotations as an inner point)
Not the same. Games with parkour make movement look good even if a games journalist is playing. Games with platforming respect the player’s right to fail and learn from failure to eventually make movement look good.
I really wish old consoles didn’t usually need old TVs to work well. I used to have a N64, NES, and PS2, but I sold them all because I was moving and didn’t want to schlep the absurdly heavy 2004ish plasma TV I had to play them on.
I rock my old Apple color monitor for my old consoles. The same one I’ve been rocking since I was a kid. Gotta smack it from time to time. I’ll change the capacitors one day.
Brother, have you heard of our lord and savior, emulation?
Outside of a few weird edge cases, everything up through N64 era is easily emulatable. PS2 is… okay for most popular games but still actively being worked on.
There’s even video shaders if you want to make it look like your old boxy TV. A lot of games from that era have graphics made with CRT screens in mind.
When was the last time you looked at ps2 emulation? Less than 2% 1% of all ps2 titles are unplayable, and everything that I have tried playing works great.
Also, every Nintendo console works amazingly well, and the switch actually sometimes has performance improvements on some games.
PS3 emulation is doable on a good PC, same with Xbox, though I haven’t tried any newer generations than that.
