Oh, yeah, like there isn’t a truckload of perfect ports of games 1 or 2 gens past the PS2 on regular switch.

Have you seen the average Mushroom Kingdom animal? That scene does not look quite the same when your animal friends are some giant red beetles, sentient plants with huge teeth and freaking fire-breathing triceratops.

8bitdo SN30 pro. Small, lightweight, perfect button placement. SNES controller designers knew their shit, just add two sticks and a pair of triggers and you can play almost anything with it.

Connectivity is just one of many problems with joycons.

The shitty sticks that may or may not drift after a dozen of hours and the faulty rail cable that disconnects the SL/ SR buttons are worse.

Tolkien estate usually doesn’t like their words used in random stuff. Sometimes I think they’re bordering on control freaks, but in that particular case, yeah, nuking that shit and forcing them to change their name wouldn’t seem unreasonable to me.

If they’re not aware of it, maybe someone should tip them.

"See, on this diagram, that part of the global population represents the users we can legally identify, because they’re not minors.

_ So, who’s in the rest of the diagram?..

_ This is a mystery to everybody."

Je m’inscris en faux quant à cette analyse biaisée des accomplissements humains.

Also GLaDOS is the worst AI you’d want for taking care of the environment in a post-human world. She builds auto-replicating sterile laboratories, that can’t end well.

Yeah, I got it mostly for the campaign, hoping for more Baldur’s Gate. It was so disappointing.

The story was uninspired, but most of all solo gameplay was so boring. One character, one NPC companion and you couldn’t control them in any way, starting at low level, all of that made your strategic choices practically inexistent.

And then the engine breaking everywhere causing it to rewind your action after 5 seconds because it suddenly remembered “hey, you were not supposed to be able to go there, we’ve put a bunch of knee-high crates to block that 5 meter wide empty hallway!”

WHAT DO WE WANT?

…

WHEN DO WE WANT IT?

shrugs

X used self-destruct.

800 is a fucking crusade. 800 bastards pretending to be on the side of good and pillaging and raping your ass instead.

No, you’re thinking about reddit.

Yeah, well not even French Normans believed that.

In exchange for land and a title, they converted as a formality and where indistinguishable from the rest of French nobility in a generation or two. Basically an afterthought.

Contrary to popular depictions, vikings were generally pragmatic people.

Among the …creative “historians” who plague French-speaking youtube, there’s an idiot who spends hours and hours claiming all of the cathedrals were made by vikings to spread the true faith, fucking Odinism, against Christianity.

The guy doesn’t even know what a “cathedral” is (literally just a church with a bishop in it), and cherry picks examples (some of them not cathedrals) that he can make roughly make correspond timewise (ignoring dozens of cathedrals long before or after the relatively short viking expansion).

He also quotes nazi pseudo-historians, theories about the templars being vikings and establishing South-American empires, and he presents himself to his most devoted cult members fans as the incarnation of a Norse deity. He hasn’t made up his mind about whether he’s Heimdall or Hermod though.

Yeah, wasn’t sure where I had heard it first, but it was probably him.

That guy owes me literal days of my time.

One of the best joke I saw about that shit was like “Hey, you know how those ancient aliens only seem to help building Egyptian pyramids, pre columbian and Asian temples, Moai, etc…? Only logical conclusion : looks like aliens must really hate white people.”

Yes, so much yes. I’ve got that on mine too, and it’s a pain. it has very small, close “buttons” too, setting the temperature is an exercise in accuracy, when it reacts at all.

And yes, the tiniest drop of water fucks everything up completely.

Being lured to the dark side with lasagna is a more credible development than actual episode 3.

“Oh no, I’m worried that my wife might die one day, gonna listen to the creepy old man and murder a few dozens unsuspecting children.”

Capacitive buttons on anything are annoying, they’re unreliable as fuck. They might trigger with the slightest accidental touch, but then they’ll act like your finger doesn’t exist for a dozen pushes.

Counterpoint : there’s GLaDOS in that pic.
