I wouldn’t post the login for random people to copy and paste. Still do all that other stuff to remove all traces of yourself from the account, but ask around and talk to people and when you find someone you want to offer it to, send it discreetly.
It’s a really difficult console to go back to. The peak of the N64 was one of my personal video game peaks. I was in high school and staying up all night at a buddy’s house playing GoldenEye was the BEST.
Many years later, I tried to scratch that itch and buy a used console and some games. We played it for maybe a week, but it was rough, and we didn’t really get any value out of it.
It’s hard to describe how disorienting Super Mario 3D was the first time I played it. 3D open worlds were very new and we were discovering it in the only way available, with a three handed controller.
Now that 3D games have been refined, the N64 looks like a hot mess, with very few actually good games, but at the time, it was like an experimental space craft going to new worlds, we learned how to work it, and we appreciated the ride!
As I've gotten older as a player, I have found myself dropping some eras of gaming that I used to be nostalgic for. One of them is the 8-bit era, the NES days. I have played some of the best that system had to offer and I will never say that system didn't have any good games....
Did you get a chance to watch the show on Amazon yet? The kids and I watched the first two episodes last night. So far, it feels like Fallout, and I am not disappointed!
The only nudity is a male butt, but there is no question that they are having sex. I was comfortable with my 15&16yo teenagers watching it, but might be awkward with middle schoolers.
I agree that Bethesda has done a fine job with it, but I don’t agree that we should pretend that none of the other games ever existed just so you don’t feel left out.
PS, I’m a console gamer who was excited for 3 & 4 BECAUSE of the first two games, and I’m really enjoying the show. Which kind of throws your stereotypes and generalizations out the window. So please stop.
Yeah, that news is more concerning than anything. BG3 was great and they want to recreate that by letting EVERYONE make a D&D game, and I’d bet the developers are just as focused on the BG3 hype money, instead of actually making good games.
What Remains of Edith Finch. A psychological horror game that REALLY sucks you in. As you play, there is a lot of stuff that doesn’t make any sense, but there’s a secret (disturbing) meaning behind it all.
I spent a good chunk of a Saturday going through it and there’s no need to do it again, but it was a great ride!
So I like to use Xbox controllers (doesn’t matter if it’s first- or third-party) because I like the layout, it’s just comfortable to me. However I’ve noticed that on all my controllers in the past few years, the left thumb stick will start to “give out” over the course of a couple months. For instance I’ll be...
I used to think that Xbox controllers ALWAYS drift within a year.
Then I started keeping a secret controller away from the kids. It lasted years with no drift. I got a new one and let the kids use my old one… Drift in a month.
It’s not the controllers. You just drop it too much.
My friend and I used to play this early 80’s arcade game back in the day. I can’t for the life of me remember it’s name. Hoping someone here can help....
I have another theory, and please don’t be offended if I’m wrong.
Maybe it wasn’t a game at all.
Could it have been The Bishop of Battle from the movie Nightmares? You might have Mandela-effected this game from memories of that movie and similar games you had played.
It doesn’t make them look weak at all. You need to dial back the stubborn machismo, and reconsider what being strong is.
A company that realizes the choices they made decades ago were inappropriate, and adds an apology later is strong.
Standing up and speaking out against someone who goes out of their way to promote sand share racism, is strong.
Getting upset because you agree with the racism and you don’t like people telling you that you’re the bad guy, and needing to remove all evidence that you’re a piece of shit is weak.
Be better. Don’t confuse being cruel and stubborn with strength.
I don’t even know what the original content was, but if the developers felt the need to point out that they made a mistake, they must feel pretty strongly about it. From what I understand, clearing the disclaimer changes nothing in the game, it’s just one less splash screen when you start it up.
It pretty much boils down to:
Developer: Hey guys, that thing we did back then was not cool, so rather than pretend it never happened, or block access to the game, we put a little message in just to let people know that we aren’t as racist as we used to be and we’re sorry.
Racists: We are just as racist as we’ve always been and your apology implies that racism is wrong. Which implies that WE are wrong, and we don’t like to be wrong.

Chiming in as a parent. My kids are MOST social when playing video games. They hop online with their friends and they chat and laugh and bullshit with each other.
The case against video games was created by people who think staring at the TV until they fall asleep is a good night.
Okay let me start with two heavy hitters right from the get go and don’t forget these are only personal oppinions and I absolute understand if you like those games. Good for you!...
Elden Ring for me. The kids have all played the shit out of it and killed literally everything in the game. I hopped on for about two hours, wandered around aimlessly, died a few times, avoided everything to prevent dying, died a few more times and decided I never needed to do that again.
When Minecraft came out, it was hard to understand, not that good looking and only really catered to nerd gamers. There was no recipe book, no cute animals, no lush caves to explore, just an unforgiving Day-Night cycle and few, very creepy caves....
Wrong kind of handicap. You are absolutely right in everything you said above, but it seems OP was referring to PvP games where one player has the option to have more health or do more damage than their opponent. It’s intended to even the playing field when ones pair is more skilled than the other.
