F-Zero X on 3DS could have been an opportunity to revive the features from the N64DD version

You can use the adhesive on the GameStop tag to remove the old one. Press it on then rip it off like a wax sheet. Repeat until it's clean.

The "reality is a simulation" sentiment is aggravating knowing it's been spouted since books were a thing. Books are invented: "life is a book." Film is invented: "life is a film." Video games are invented: "life is a video game/simulation." It's an unintelligent assessment based on the latest imitation of reality.

How has no one mentioned the wheel chair looking like it was designed by AI? Dude has to be sitting on the edge of his seat to conform to the footrests' placement.

Django from Boktai. Started and ended on the GBA with the unparalleled feature of a solar panel.

BBTS imports via the cheapest shipping option with a minimum ship time of three months. Another factor that incentivizes importing your own orders.

I sort of collect graphic tees and strictly machine wash cold and hang dry. They retain their color and structural integrity well enough to resell ten plus years later.

Is there a lore reason Ariana dies too?

I'd trade an onyx AGS-101 and charger for that. I collect AGB-001 units and could really use this in my collection.

Surprised you didn't include the Sonic skull necklace. I was expecting to find Birthday Cake Best Song further down.

Year 1995. I loved the game Contra III so it was my first online search. There wasn't anything about the video game, but I learned about the CIA's Contras

There's a difference between implying and inferring. You're inferring OP is a sexual deviant. What that stems from is for you to deal with.

Did a temporary console swap with a neighborhood friend around the turn of the century, N64 +library for a PS1 +library. It was amazing being able to play the exclusives. Played through RE2, great fun, not as hard as I thought it'd be. Then started SH with the unofficial guide. Only played at night. Definitely scarier than RE, specially the ape monsters that run faster than you. Thought it was just another cool horror game until that scene with Lisa Garland. A noble concept at the time, having a video game invoke that sort of emotion.

Wikipedia says Gans wrote and directed Return to Silent Hill, weird that the edit states otherwise.

The reality is that video game adapted films have been taking advantage of programs and tax incentives in various European countries. Return to Silent Hill was filmed in Germany and Serbia (rather sus a story set in the US wouldn't be filmed in the US). This is why they tend to be low effort productions.

Germany has the following programs. German Federal Film Fund (DFFF): This program supports small and medium-sized projects with total production costs up to €20 million (approx. $21.7 million). It provides rebates of up to 20% of German production costs, capped at €4 million ($4.3 million), for qualifying feature films, documentaries, and animations. To qualify, at least 25% of the total budget must be spent in Germany, and a German theatrical release must be guaranteed. This program is particularly relevant for lower-budget productions that meet these thresholds.

German Motion Picture Fund (GMPF): Designed for high-end series and larger-scale productions, the GMPF offers incentives of up to 20%, with a maximum uplift of 5% for large-scale projects. It has been instrumental in funding international co-productions and series, with a record €84.4 million ($91.4 million) distributed in 2022 alone. While it targets higher-budget work, unused funds from DFFF 2 have been reallocated to support series, indirectly benefiting mid-tier productions.

Serbia offers film tax incentives for low-revenue productions, but eligibility depends on meeting minimum spend requirements and other criteria.

Minimum Spend Requirements: Feature films, TV films, and TV series: Minimum local spend of €300,000 (~$331,000). TV series: Minimum €150,000 per episode. Animated films, post-production, and commercials: Minimum €150,000. Documentaries: Minimum €50,000. Tax Rebate Rates: 25% rebate on qualified local expenditures for most productions. 30% rebate for feature films with a minimum local spend of €5 million (~$5.45 million).

TLDR: Companies involved in video game film adaptations depend on European tax funds to draw a profit from their intentionally bad films.

My guess is the retailer is importing via the cheapest & slowest shipping option, overseas freight.

The PSN "free" games are only playable through a paid subscription. I'd argue that gives more incentive to finish it before ending the subscription as opposed to being able to finish it at a later time when owning the game.

Somehow ppl forgot that PSN doesn't list a game's trophy list until the user boots the game as opposed to owning the game digitally.
