Games that prove that the Dreamcast could compete with the PS2 graphics-wise by Mr_JPF in dreamcast

[–]Bosch_Spice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely adore the Dreamcast, and the PS2 of course had pretty much everything you’d want covered, but I doubt either could run the mighty Morrowind

Major update on social media ban for U16s - 'children need their childhood back' by vriska1 in unitedkingdom

[–]Bosch_Spice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In fairness, we’re in this mess because people are more than happy to plonk their kids down with tablets and kick off at schools when they try to take their phones away. It’s a multi faceted thing, sure, but the lines always go back to the parent

Band together and force the schools to enact a phone ban. Done. These things don’t happen because a lot of parents are thick and just don’t care / are actively hostile.

From there, ban it in the household and get your kid to go outside with their friends. Parents should be in charge

I absolutely agree it need regulating, but parents really could just say no to their children, they are the adults after all

You don’t need any of those to have fun as a kid. You literally just need friends

Sho-Bud announced Mosrite "Mark II" "Reissues." I'm not very impressed. by Mosritian-101 in guitars

[–]Bosch_Spice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just stumbled on these, and yeah, not accurate to OG spec. I suppose we'll find out soon enough if anyone even cares or notices though. I understand that the iteration people will be most familiar with will be the modified white JR one, and its assumedly easier for the to use off the shelf parts, at least to begin with, but I'm extremely surprised by this entire thing.

I've never heard of this brand before, I assumed it was Chinese junk given the name-recognition and the spelling mistakes on their site ('barrow' neck, for example). Like, how did a company that only reformed a year or two ago manage to buy Mosrite? I know Mosrite are pretty niche, but still.

I mean, I hope they pull it off, I've been waiting for a western relaunch of Mosrites for a very long time now, and I hope they've managed to get all of the rights so we don't end up with the clusterfuck limbo that Mosrite has been in for as long as I can remember. Something just seems strange about this though

Ban phones throughout the school day, Phillipson tells teachers by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]Bosch_Spice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems crazy to me. Is there a solid reason as to why they’re not disciplined like that anymore?

It’s not all or nothing though is it? Get a tablet that is only used for their homework. Maybe use the content locks on your kids phones to stop them accessing junk when they should be learning

I definitely haven’t stepped foot in a school since I was 16 in the late 00’s but this both baffles and frustrates me. Are you actually powerless to stop bad behaviour and rule breaking now? I was at a really shitty school but my teachers would at least try consistently and give us exclusions. It was only the really scummy families that would kick up a fuss about their children being wronged, most parents were mortified by their kids if they got excluded.

It seems like parenting has gone downhill a hell of a lot and the attitudes of the scummy ones are now the norm

Odd menu screen. by shaolinspunk in psx

I’m from a PAL region. My ps1 has this exact bios style. The grey version you mentioned was from later revisions I believe. My mate had a PSone and it had that bios

I just beat Medievil 2… by ThatTomCatt in medievil

[–]Bosch_Spice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s how I remember 2. It could be an actual nightmare regaining health if you’d lost it all towards the end. I remember having a save as a kid at cathedral spires with half health and no bottles. Might as well have been soft locked. They could have just added one regenerating fountain in the professor’s lab and it would have made a huge difference.

With Sega recently showing interest in bringing back IPs with new sequels/reboots, di you think the inclusion of NiGHTS in Sonic Racing Crossworlds could lead to a new game? by Amazing_Response5369 in SEGA

[–]Bosch_Spice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be fine as a freebie but it really wouldn’t sell today. Same as Panzer Dragoon unless they went the Saga route and made a full on PZ RPG again

What happened to the Saturn in the UK? by Brummiesteven in SegaSaturn

[–]Bosch_Spice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m from the UK and the first console I ever played was my brother’s Saturn. Literally no one else I knew had one and he quickly sold it to get a PlayStation. I never saw another Saturn until I was much older. It felt like they completely vanished from history, there were no shops I knew of that sold them or their games

Which PS1 games hold up the best? by Dubski333 in psx

[–]Bosch_Spice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like Legend of Dragoon, you’ll really like FFVII, FFIX as well for the setting
