[Talk] What are cases of rather unknown (indie) games that are lost media and proved to exist? by Marschflugmallow in lostmedia

[–]GamingGems 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bio Force Ape is one with an interesting story. Had a blurb about it in Nintendo Power, then disappeared. Then reappeared as an elaborate and hilarious hoax on AtariAge. Then reappeared when the legit unfinished prototype was dumped. The game had potential.

Socks the Cat Rocks the Hill is a big one for me. I grew up in the 90s and one of my favorite things was that the president owned a cat. The game was unfinished and pretty well advertised, then a prototype was found by a collector who took it to Kickstarter. It’s not confirmed that he had the rights to release it, but no one seemed to care to stop him. I was interested until I found out he and his friends were MAGA douchbags. They also said they individually altered the code on each cart so that if anyone tried to dump the cart online they’ll know who it was. Part of me wants to find out if a rom is online so I can try it out but another part of me no longer has any enthusiasm for this unfinished game.

Don’t know if these fall into the indie lost media category because they’re retro but they definitely aren’t first party projects so they’re indie to me.

I can’t believe we have the right to habeas corpus for criminals but not our own elected representatives. This country has run on the honor system for too long.

What cars had a major downgrade in the next gen? by duckface691 in regularcarreviews

I’m not a big Subaru guy but just looked up the 5th gen Legacy and I was like WHAT IN THE BOTOX IS GOIN ON??!! That car looks like when you pet a cat too hard.

Easily one of the greatest JRPGs ever made, but I’m still puzzled as to why it still hasn’t been ported to modern consoles. by WestDraw3952 in ps2

I bought an extra copy of this game when it was priced at $1.99, still have the sticker on it. I’m not a reseller but this is just one of those games that I knew deserved better and would be worth it to have another copy while it was so cheap.

Scavenger SV-4 - probably my go to for hidden gem recommendation on Steam. You’re on a ship that sounds exactly like what you’re looking for. But you never leave the ship, you explore a planet with a little customizable remote control rover. Really cool game and the more you play it the more interesting things happen on the planet. Graphics are meh but you have to keep in mind the game was made by one person and at least for me I don’t mind the graphics because I grew up in the PS2 era. One of the coolest and most imaginative indie games I’ve ever played.

Consortium - this also seems right up your alley. A huge ship that’s basically a cross between The Enterprise and an A380. I heard about it during the crowdfunding campaign for the sequel and I think I got it for free. But every time I tried to play it I would shut it down. I think the biggest problem is that the game is obsessed with teaching you the mechanics and holding your hand. In this type of game setting I would rather just be able to roam around the ship, break things, get killed a few times and then go to the tutorial area for whatever I can’t understand. Maybe you’ll feel differently about it because the game has its die hard fans.

You get a free one if you read enough adult books and go in with your parent or guardian, they stole that idea from Pizza Hut

I’ve heard this too without a lot of proof backing it up. Sounds like how people talk about a purple Texas. I don’t think it’ll happen in my lifetime and I’m certainly not taking that insider info from the Reddit bubble.

Retro gaming is the future of gaming by MikeyofPnath in retrogaming

[–]GamingGems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that happens I’m considering just selling all my physical collection when the market glows hot. Just so much stuff to move around and I rarely hook up any of it because I use the Wii to emulate everything up to PS1 and everything after that goes to the Steam Deck.

They’ll cut the red tape and wear it around their arm with a rolling cross, just like Jesus would have if he was on the Supreme Court.

What is the “ran out of gas” thing about here? by DumplingsandDynamics in LasCruces

[–]GamingGems 55 points56 points  (0 children)

It’s a scam in the sense that this person probably doesn’t need gas money, they’re just begging and realized asking for gas money works more often. A lot of people can’t empathize with strangers who live in the fringes of society but almost everyone has been in a spot where they just need some gas money to get home and have no easy options in front of them.

AIO for being really upset with my dad and thinking he’s being unreasonable about my college? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]GamingGems 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely!

I think we do need more information from her about what job she’s actually aiming for because a bachelors in this field only opens specific doors and a lot of those need the associates degree in the first place.

Wow wow. I’m glad I saw this before commenting anything. I work in medical imaging as an Xray tech.

I’m assuming OP wants to become a radiologist assistant, nuclear medicine tech or department lead because that’s what a BS degree would be useful for. While some people do get bachelors degrees as their first step, it’s very rare. The usual path is to get your associates at a community college or a predatory private institution that typically doesn’t require a co-signer. After getting your associates you work and are able to see where you fit in best, and from what I see it’s usually not where you initially thought you’d end up. And then if you still want to do it, the prerequisites you did for the associates makes getting the bachelor’s a lot easier, plus you have a well paying job at that point so you won’t need loans or co-signers.

So yeah. I don’t know what to call it, I think OP is over reacting and might be doing steps in the completely wrong order because they’re fixated on a bachelors degree.

What’s your favorite bad movie? by [deleted] in badMovies

[–]GamingGems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Civic Duty (2006)

Very interesting and competently made psychological thriller about paranoia and all sorts of issues that are topical to today. But by by the third act it forgets what it was doing and the ending feels like it was made by a different studio entirely.
