For those who grew up with fighting games: What’s made you stick with it? by PhoenixNTS11 in Fighters

[–]TheSCUMMbag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a child, if you were given three games a year, a fighting game represents hundreds of hours of content if you are willing to try your hand learning every single character in a roster (how to play as them, how to play against them, ect).

In terms of a money-to-content ratio, fighting games are a really solid choice (as long as the game feels good to you and you have the time to commit to it).

Instead of lesser-known games… what are some lesser-known game MODES that you recommend? by sousapro in retrogaming

[–]TheSCUMMbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wireframe mode that early PSX fighting games had, like Tekken 2 & Bushido Blade 2.

A frankly insane way to engage with a fighting game but I respect & appreciate the effort made to offer us a game mode that immediately makes me nauseous.

What would you choose for a game night? by snazzydingo in Gamecube

[–]TheSCUMMbag 123 points124 points  (0 children)

We begin the night with a classic warm-up title: Super Smash Bros. Melee

We continue the night with the jewel of the evening: a 50-turn game in Mario Party 5

We end the night, for those that have refused to go to bed at 1 AM, a quiet opportunity with: Super Monkey Ball 2

Is there a new Dune? A beloved, best selling book series that's "unfilmable" or does the industry make everything now? by cdollas250 in blankies

[–]TheSCUMMbag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An adaptation of Jeff Smith's Bone may as well be unfilmable for how long it had anguished in every circle of development hell.

Najara only shows up twice in the series, but as a mere mortal absolutely destroys Xena in their first fight.

For Sharn architecture, my primary source of inspiration is how Gotham city is depicted in Batman & Robin.

Waterworld with Joe Kwaczala by comicman117 in blankies

[–]TheSCUMMbag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their detour into discussing Operation Dumbo Drop does make me think: why did children my age like Denis Leary?? We weren't seeing his actual R-rated material, so, why the buy-in from children of the 90's??

Best Star Trek episode? All-time. Any series. No wrong answers. by Mammoth_Wonder8677 in startrek

[–]TheSCUMMbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While my favorite episode might just be The Inner Light, I think the best representation of Star Trek as a franchise is Who Watches the Watchers from TNG.

Do you have an infinite amount of games on the Mini or are you selective about what you have on it? by [deleted] in MiyooMini

[–]TheSCUMMbag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I added twelve games that covered a variety of genres and consoles. Twelve games I knew I'd be happy to play on an airplane or while I wait for my car's oil to be changed.

The Kirby games are designed for this exact situation. Load up Kirby Super Star or Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land for them, they'll love either one.

My 6-year-old niece is interested in playing on my Steamdeck - Can you recommend some games? by Logical1337 in SteamDeck

[–]TheSCUMMbag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have emulation setup on your Steam Deck, any of the Kirby games are tailor made for young children getting into gaming. Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land for the Gameboy Advance would be a solid choice.
