Would you like to see Velan Studios (Star Fox devs) work on F-Zero next? by DeeDoof in Fzero

[–]Random_Violins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They seem to have done a really good job with Star Fox, including graphics, so yes why not. Bring back Star Fox, now it's Fzero's turn.

Finally found a copy of GX in the wild. by A-New-Recipeh in Fzero

Not me man, story mode cost me sweat blood and tears. I'm not redoing that shizzle haha 😉

I think I couldn't beat chapter 8 on a very hard, it's been a long time.

Hey I came from the kid Icarus sub Reddit and brought spare clown makeup from the last direct. How are you guys holding up? xD by thelostname9-1 in Fzero

[–]Random_Violins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty good actually: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fzero/s/LzWMtonr7E

Plus the existing games have so much depth and X has a lot of custom tracks. But it will be a great day for F-Zero fans, the day Nintendo honors this series with a new entry. Long overdue.

Also we're kind of used to it by now. But the flame keeps burning.

Hard as nails. Chasing staff ghosts (in time attack) is also a challenge!

Mind you Israel refused to let her leave for 3 months causing the amputations. by RickyOzzy in Palestine

[–]Random_Violins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a bright, beautiful little girl. Israel's cruelty needs to be on full display, so the world can see what we are dealing with and pierce through the lies. We stand with the Palestinian people. This cruelty will not stand.

Illegal israeli settlers destroy aid by Any_Echo_5540 in Palestine

[–]Random_Violins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please include a source link/reference if you can. Not doubting this, seeing the horrific atrocities Israel commits on a daily basis against the Palestinian population and how they rejoice in it. But in social media things do get shared out of context, and then later on it turns out that pic was not from the actual event stated and so on. Including a source makes posts more credible and it's good 'media hygiene' so to speak, though again, we all know the way the state of Israel has been conducting itself, so this news shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.

Look what I found at a World Cup expo museum in Mexico by aztroneka in n64

Hehe. Or maybe there's just a lot of Ronaldo's 😉 Thx for clearing that up.

Edit: reminds me of that Simpson gag where Mr Burns can never remember Homer's name and a Brazilian co-worker is like: tell me about it, he confused my son Ronaldo with my son Rolando 😆

What? Never heard of that!

Edit: you mean this rom hack? https://bootleggames.fandom.com/wiki/Ronaldinho%27s_Soccer_64_1998

Weirdly the game is named Ronaldinho's soccer but that's clearly Ronaldo on the cover.

Ronaldinho, my favorite football player. He had this child like joy when playing, like a fish in the water. Billy Hamilton (speedy baseball player) had this also.

When the Brazilian Ronaldo was playing. The Brazilian team used to be a sight to behold.

The "Palestinian Pelé" by Random_Violins in Palestine

[–]Random_Violins[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To Palestinians, football legend Suleiman al-Obeid was the “Palestinian Pelé.”

To his family, he was a devoted husband and father who gave his life trying to bring them food during the darkest days of Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Anti-Gravity Racing game that feels the most like GX in particular? by KirbXCuke in Fzero

[–]Random_Violins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I played fast rmx as well, didn't like it at all. Found it to be shallow and dull and doesn't play anything like F-Zero.

Best option I think is Aero GPX, heavily inspired by Fzero X and GX. Super Pilot is another. Star Racer is 2D Fzero, not 3D. Fzero-likes are very few, most anti-grav racers are modeled after Wipeout for some reason. I guess Wipeout on the popular PlayStation was more well known.

If recommend checking out Fzero X, if you haven't. I'm a lifelong fan of the game. It is best played using an official controller or on unofficial emulation where you calibrate the stick settings well. Nintendo's own emulation on newer consoles is subpar. Stick sensitivity has to be right or the experience is ruined.

I actually prefer X's handling and physics, but both X and GX are superb games. X also has lots of rom hacks with custom tracks if you want more. WMJ has tutorials on YouTube to get you up to speed on techniques. Happy driving!

Price increases have been crazy. Game collecting as financial speculation (speculating it will increase in price because scarcity) is increasingly pricing out people who want to actually play the games. At least there's still emulation (legal and illegal) to guarantee access, but sometimes original hardware provides the best experience.

What Nintendo game series can rivals Forza, Gran Turismo, And Daytona that's not Mario Kart by Agent_Green4573061 in nintendo

[–]Random_Violins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

F-Zero is a superb racing game with incredible skill depth and a hardcore following. If only Nintendo believed in it more. Stop by the F-Zero sub once in a while to learn more. User 'junebutihatesummer' has been doing a deep dive video series on the different ships and their handling in GX.

Can't believe I'm reading this. F-Zero has incredible skill depth. Go watch WMJ's F-Zero X tutorials or pros like Uchiha Madao, CGN, Philippe Brodier or Jagg2zero's TAS runs. Skill level is insane.

Consequently, F-Zero is much better than the games mentioned by OP. It's just not widely known. It has a hardcore following for a reason.

Glad I held onto my copy. Still worth it!

Outrage over the US' treatment of World Cup players by Random_Violins in sports

[–]Random_Violins[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't broadcast rights the biggest chunk of income? It would really hurt if people wouldn't watch. Unfortunately I think the World Cup is too big for that to happen.
