I just started playing Age of Empires II again. The soundtrack really brought me back in time.

Has anyone played Atari today?

Twisted Metal 2, my old friend…

KillerTofu,

I’ve come to drive with you again…

1942 didn’t have the same feel for me. That game is maddening.

bitwaba,

Was that the NES airplane bomber game?

mihnt,

Yes. Vertical scroller.

I have a Corsair m55 pro it looks gamer but the low DPI headshot left-side button is something I won’t live without again (I use it mostly for placing stuff in Cities Skylines). I just checked and I’ve had it since 2019, still works great

This applies to many things. That guy down the street who acts super macho and has a lifted truck? Don’t date him unless you want to be disappointed. The quiet nerdy dude with a prius? Absolutely freak in bed, and a hung power bottom that will ignite things within you.

No, he’s the lifted truck.

Red Dragon keyboards and mouses > that expensive shit.

cryostars,

I guess ymmv with red dragon, but the one mouse I had from them broke after like 2 hours of use. Normal clicking and the right mouse button just split in half. Figured it was just really cheap plastic or something.

blanketswithsmallpox,

I’ve had good luck with both a wired and wireless version so I can’t say much about that.

Fwiw I’ve use/d a K551 and K552 keyboard, M801p mouse, and a M601 mouse the later of each got handmedowned to my sons. 2021, 2017, 2019, 2015. The K552 is used as a toddler toy…

All of them still function great so I guess ymmv.

SpaceNoodle,

Nah, Bad Dragon is where it’s at.

Quetzalcutlass,

Why does your mouse have a flared base?

SpaceNoodle,

Because I learn from my mistakes.

Personally a fan of Keychron M3, and it’s pretty cheap too. I’ve heard that the shape is a bit of a crapshoot with regards to comfort when holding, but I’ve personally never had an issue and it’s just been awesome

caut_R, do games w Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability.

The good thing was that games were complete and they didn‘t try to suck ever last penny out of you post-launch. Also, no updates meant they actually couldn‘t just ship them broken and fix later…

TrousersMcPants,

But it did mean they would ship them broken with no chance of fixing them, tbf.

melpomenesclevage,

Still happens, used to be rare

uienia,

That only happened extremely rarely. Nowadays it seems to be almost mandatory, precisely because the mindset is that they can just fix it later

Cocodapuf,

That happened like, 6 times.

I can literally only think of a handful of games that had serious bugs.

There was that ninja turtles game for nes with the impossible jump, there was enter the matrix for PS2/xbox that was completely not done. There were a few games that were poorly conceived in the first place like ET for Atari…

But yeah, what else had serious bugs?

ouRKaoS,

WrestleMania 2000 on N64 had a bug that would randomly delete all saved data.

Honytawk,

There isn’t a single game without bugs

TrousersMcPants,

There was plenty of terrible, buggy games you just didn’t see because stores would drop them. PC had it far worse than console did back in the day. I think it’s also that games are just way fucking cheaper now, adjusted for inflation a SNES game was around 120 bucks and a PS2 game was around 75 bucks.

Cocodapuf,

I just don’t see how games that don’t meet QA requirements and subsequently aren’t shelved are in any way comparable to every game on the market today…

I mean I never had to encounter those bugs, games that weren’t shelved didn’t exist in any meaningful way because nobody spent money on them. But nearly every probably half of the games I buy and play today have serious bugs on day 1 (and many still have them on day 300). That feels like a different paradigm to me.

Tekken used to have more than half of the characters HIDDEN. Now they just sell them one by one.

TrousersMcPants,

Well the new Tekken games launch with more and more characters, besides 7 which did launch with less than 6, and if you consider that the price of games has gotten cheaper due to inflation since the first Tekken it starts to make sense that they’re trying to make more money off them. Games have been costing more to make while costing less to buy for decades now and the industry is reaching a point where that’s become unsustainable but people just won’t accept a larger sticker price and longer development cycles so studios are finding new ways to make money. Personally I think selling characters as they come out for a few bucks is actually not a bad thing in fighting games, it keeps the games alive and interesting for much longer so long as it’s done well.

That’s not even a bad haircut compared to some of the shit I’ve seen this decade. That’s actually pretty good haircut.

Coreidan,

Ya I haven’t a clue what this post is supposed to be about. Is this an attempt at humor? I don’t get it

TheTetrapod,

The guy at the bottom of the image is from GTA IV, and there’s a heavily memed line from the game about his “yee-yee ass haircut”

I still prefer these to seo optimized, ad riddled articles with videos that are somehow 8 minutes long to show a 5-10 second part of the game.

Go to the wikis. Ideally the non-fandom ones, but even those are bearable with ublock set up.

mediawiki got it right the first time :P

Yeah it’s just like looking up a food recipe anymore. A lot of times, the guide isn’t even correct. Google has encouraged the internet to just pump out hot garbage.

Cool site, shame there’s several outstanding PRs not accepted. Seems the maintainer went dark with the project :(

systemglitch,

Right? These are still what I seek out first. Give me plain text and an simple search function any day of the week

CptEnder,

I used gamefaqs for the latest Square HD2D games like Triangle Strategy. It’s actually awesome because it really completes the nostalgia and the games are kinda perfectly created for the type of guides, like the “Golden route” in that game. It’s so cool people still make these guides

I once wrote such a guide for a BBS game. Must’ve been 30 years ago. Man, I wish I could find that again. But I just saw you can play the game online: legendreddragon.net
