Picks come with me when I get ready to leave the house! Otherwise they stay on the shelf next to the guitars while I’m here, otherwise they tend to get lost lol

This made me curious so I looked up my favorite game from childhood that I still play sometimes now… Super Metroid just turned 30 years old 💀

I only ever beat it back in the day by using the game guide lol! That was long enough ago that the game guide was an actual paper book I had to find at a store and pay real money for! Well, my mom paid for it anyway lol

My mom liked playing Nintendo games as much as I did so if there was a game she wanted to see the end of we would end up getting a Nintendo Power or a standalone game guide that was supposedly purchased for me lol

Gosh the only accessory I had for my Gameboy was the light up screen magnifier

Bu-bu-but it has RGB light effects and 8 extra buttons that I’ll never use, and it was only $30! The sponsored Amazon link assured me that this would push my gaming skills to the max! They can’t just write that about anything!

I know I’m probably in the minority here, but I liked the first 2 Grand Theft Auto games on PC better than the more well known ones… They were top down view and easier to just pick up and play. The graphics were more like a 16bit era game. They were simpler games that just felt more fun to me than the giant massive games that came out later. I tried a few of the later ones but it just made me miss the originals lol

This reminds me of the last time I watched the film Event Horizon. The CG scenes look SOOOO BAD! It’s been one of my favorite horror movies since I first saw it as a teenager in the late 90s, and I still love it, but I had no memory of that shitty fake looking cg lol Thankfully that’s not a huge part of the movie

Well, I guess that’s the end of video games for me. We had a good run there for a while

I have all the 8 and 16 bit systems on my hard drive! Turbo Grafx 16 (aka PC Engine) is probably my favorite for hidden gems lol

So basically some wealthy Saudis are paying prizes that amount to pocket change for them in hopes that cool trendy gamer kids will show up and make everyone forget all those pesky human rights violations

No, the worst case scenario is that the sports washing works, and the poor human rights in that area get worse because it will set the precedent that no one actually cares what they do over there as long as enough money changes hands
