I agree with the 8bitdo ultimate, the pro 2 was my favorite controller for a long time but the ultimate is just so reliable.

Nah we definitely have had places like this named by Americans, too

Only if they’re independent developers of the game, which is why you shouldn’t pirate little indie games. Otherwise they already got paid as much as they’re gonna get paid, only people losing money when you pirate a game are the executives.

Yeah that’s a fair take, for sure. Although tbf there was never an explicit cutscene where Leon looks up Ashley’s skirt in the game, it was something that only happened when the player or Leons head in general looked up her skirt. That being said, it still felt weird and out of place regardless. Not to mention it just happened too often in weird ways, like suplexing an enemy near Ashley.

I never really considered how weird some of this stuff really was until remakes changed it. Like the voice line for looking up Ashley’s skirt in RE4. Lots of weird stuff like this in games where it kind of doesn’t fit, although I did think the erotic bonus in dead rising was funny in a kind of campy B movie way. Sexualized zombies are kind of a staple of the culture in a way, I think.

Now, I hear they’re making a Lollipop Chainsaw remake and I hope they don’t change anything there, as an achievement of shame for looking up the characters skirt was pretty funny and fit the general aesthetic of the game well.

Absolutely

Nintendo fanboys don’t like to think about emulation existing

Yeah I basically got this exact advice and was surprised to realize they cost much more than that anymore.

Owning a cat gives you far more detailed knowledge of cat buttholes than you’d like

It’s a joke about writing slurs and censoring them with an asterisk, implying Gamer is a slur

They have some new IPs but they’re purely game publishers nowadays, primarily more indie and AA titles afaik Edit: write this without looking, looks like they do also sell old consoles and some controllers and such as well.

Ask Irish people what they think about the drink “Irish car bomb”

A lot of games were significantly more expensive bc back then too

I mean, you still pay people to do that?

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.

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.

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

Nah it’s everywhere, Lemmy is not special in that regard. Gaming culture in general has a large amount of people who just hate shit, regardless of whether it deserves it or not. Just ask anyone who plays an MMORPG

They did tho? Not being able to make a new save was one of those issues

I want this but the audiobook equivalent. Ive had such bad luck getting them.
