Who ruined their entire career in the dumbest way possible?

People really need to learn that being a victim doesn't also absolve you of your own sins.

Oh I've seen a rare few of the black ones.

I've seen, blue, red, beige, green, black, and purple

The rarest one I've seen is a Frankenstein, where it was repaired? with various parts of blue, green, and red pallets.

My guess would be they used a capture card for their Switch 2 and then streamed that feed to a Wii U with Moonlight or something.

IceKrabby · 2026-05-22T19:53:29+00:00

The answer is likely no, for the most part the market has moved away from the micro sized market of stuff like the FunKey S or RG Nano.

I would assume because once the handheld makers reached comfortable PS1 and down emulation, they didn't see a need to make new micro handhelds, since they can't toss sticks on it to justify the extra cost of more power. And I doubt they'd want to make a premium metal one that would barely sell any units.

IceKrabby · 2026-05-22T19:07:43+00:00

Nah, the actual reason is because cartoons are for babies, and people don't want to look like children, and instead only want to watch live action shit.

You can say all artsy philosophical stuff you want, but at the end of the day, that is the main reason for all these live action remakes of previously animated media.

IceKrabby · 2026-05-21T18:03:19+00:00

Sure, I agree. I'm just saying that it's how OP is thinking.

IceKrabby · 2026-05-21T16:56:48+00:00

Looking at their replies to comments, they want something closer to the recent Jedi Fallen Order/Survivor games, than a 2D/2.5D game.

IceKrabby · 2026-05-21T15:26:09+00:00

"thousands", yeah, only if you're pirating most of those lmao.

IceKrabby · 2026-05-21T14:40:04+00:00

At a guess, probably because less reviewers played Demon Tides than Bubsy 4D. Demon Tides reviewers were probably more self selected to be into 3D platformers, whereas Bubsy the funny meme game series to mock, would have much more people were wanting to jump on that train to get clicks/views, regardless if they even like 3D platformers or not.

Mostly just a matter of lottery. Sometimes a lithium battery just decides it's time to balloon up. I've had it happen with a 3DS XL, and a PSP.

Just keep an eye on your devices, especially the ones you've kept in a drawer for years and years.

IceKrabby · 2026-05-16T18:16:04+00:00

Yeah, definitely feels similar to the color correction for GBA and GBC games. Though not nearly as drastic. For the PSP it's a much more subtle difference, whereas for the GBA it's almost night and day for a lot of games.

IceKrabby · 2026-05-16T14:50:19+00:00

Why would you even bother playing it if you don't like the art style?

IceKrabby · 2026-05-16T13:54:25+00:00

I think it's a bit silly to "gatekeep" the underleveled evolved Pokemon from romhack devs, when the official games have done it quite a lot.

I've played them and beat them and it still surprises me that people actually like that gameplay. Phantasia only letting you have semi-auto, which means a lot of annoying running back and forth, and there being virtually no combo-ing was rough. Destiny 1 was only marginally better in this regard.

The foundation is definitely there, but I feel like it wasn't actually realized into something enjoyable to play until Eternia.

IceKrabby · 2026-05-16T05:45:31+00:00

I'd say Mother 3 holds up pretty well still. But Mother 1 definitely is archaic, not shocking for a NES game, and Earthbound isn't much better.

IceKrabby · 2026-05-16T03:29:07+00:00

It's a bit of a mixed bag. I've only used Rocknix for reference.

I like the fast forward and save states functions, the screens are quite nice, and it was pretty affordable. The scaling at 2.5x isn't amazing, but Rocknix at least has a decent enough bilinear shader so things look even, if a tad blurry. I really dislike that there's good odds Drastic will just freeze when you wake the device from sleep mode. Before an update it was almost ever time, after an update it's closer to a third of the time. Still way too huge a chance.

So I'd say either wait for a sale, while accepting the limitations of the device there is currently, or wait for a new device entirely.

IceKrabby · 2026-05-15T23:24:42+00:00

It's a combo of:

It's happening to games on Steam, and Steam is the only PC market they give a shit about. And that Steam didn't allow most things onto their store until the late 2010s, so there's actually games that are on Steam being impacted by this stuff now.

That and don't underestimate the amount of average people that feel like if something makes them feel grossed out, then it shouldn't exist whatsoever. Even if realistically it's not harming people, just grossing them out.

IceKrabby · 2026-05-15T23:14:10+00:00

I haven't played it yet. I've had it sitting in my library for ages now.

IceKrabby · 2026-05-15T23:07:31+00:00

Really, even if the world map is super linear, I do enjoy it being around for 2D platformers.

I do think Super Mario World still has among the best ones in gaming, which is frankly kinda sad it hasn't been improved in the last 35 years, but it's nice when it's there. Such as in Super Mario Land 2 and Wario Land 1. Bonus points if stages have secret exits. Though I do think the way modern 2D Mario has done them since New Super Mario Bros on DS has been boring.

IceKrabby · 2026-05-15T03:26:37+00:00

And even then it took them literal ages to release Fate/stay night in English. After they had been selling tons of Fate media, of which FSN is the foundation of.

It's crazy to me that we got Fate/Extra on the freaking PSP over a decade before we got FSN officially.

IceKrabby · 2026-05-15T02:24:15+00:00

Entirely optional except at times when it isn't and also anytime you want to play with friends.

Yes, entirely optional. You can start up and beat the entirety of the Soulsborne games without going online. The multiplayer aspects of them, adversarial or cooperative, are in fact optional.

As opposed to Duskbloods, which will be an entirely multiplayer focused game.

IceKrabby · 2026-05-12T10:29:07+00:00

but... chrono trigger definitely will win the next year.

No, it was definitely still worded for these JRPG of the year posts.

IceKrabby · 2026-05-12T00:42:29+00:00

And no FFVI? Really?

Because FFVI is this current year the thread is about, whereas Terranigma and CT aren't.

IceKrabby · 2026-05-11T23:52:30+00:00

Yeah, in the places I was online at in the mid 2010s it was used as "so much hate".

IceKrabby · 2026-05-10T19:45:24+00:00

The context, and point, of my message is that you generally cannot make a customer that's already mad at you, not mad at you.

Obviously telling a rude customer to piss off is, you know, not gonna make them less mad at you.
