     @adiwan Matter of fact, I have my NES still hooked up with the RF box on an HD TV and it's not noticable to me. I wonder if my cheap TV actually has integrated some kind of fix or other....

     @scribus I have one of those, they also run at 50hz instead of 60 because it’s based on European hardware.

    I think I'll make an RTS wherein you play a group of American patriotic Second Amendmenteers and the AI is the American military. Helpful splash screens while loading will say things like "Remember to aim your AR-15 ahead of the incoming ICBM" and "Napalm burns much more intensely than a normal Molotov cocktail." !vgp

      @asapmatt I mostly remember a couple of too-easy Sonic games (which, even then, made me think that Sonic has no business in 3D, but at least they were playable compared to other ventures...) and a pretty good Diablo clone in "Record of Lodoss War." And one of my exes loved "Chu Chu Rocket." And I think maybe some of the best fighting ports, according to Whoever 'They' Are, but I'm not much of a vidya fighter.

    man, this AGDQ was bananaing garbage
    it was literally a bunch boring soulless segments with people talking in monotone voices about how patterns are executed, "there's is only a 12.23% chance of me walking this cave without any encounters" I watch speedruns to distract myself from math, not to be reminded it exists
    
    FrankerZ me, even SpikeVegeta sounds like his soul has been sucked out of his body
    
    I don't even care what caused one of the coolest events of the year to turn into a papayaing snore-fest.
    I only want it fixed or euthanised.

    • adiwan

      @zennx Dude... I don't know what you mean. There were plenty of speedruns that had a lot of energy and probabilities (math) were barely mentioned. It sounds like you watched the randomized Zelda part. And by its very nature they have to analyze the randomizer in order to determine a path that is likely to be the ideal path. Also the games are played on machines that are called "computer", based on the word "to compute", which is basically math.

      @adiwan my point is that all the fun people were banned and now the best we can get is deadpan, child-safe humor. (and that's the best case scenario, the other option is cringe)
      analysing mechanics is fun occasionally, but when it's nothing but that then it turns into a lecture...

      @firestormdangerdash I feel like the Spitter is game-breakingly un-fun, though I do like the expanded weapon selection. I just wish you could have a melee and a sidearm. But I've only played one campaign, so time has yet to truly tell the tale.

    So I did a trade in from my original day one console to the Xbox One X. Its all so amazing except one terrible thing... the controller, the same that is in the Xbox One S and for some obnoxiously small reason it is slightly smaller. Not even enough for me to feel a difference. Yet I find my one hand cramps and aches within minutes of holding it. Such a terrible fate. !vgp
