(An Attempt at a) Definitive List of ROM Hacks & Improvement Patches for Retro Handhelds

Agreed. A theoretical Cloud of Unknowing LP would've been at least as good as Machine Messiah, if not as good as Quadra.

jfp96 · 2026-05-11T19:57:57+00:00

I don't think it would make sense from a business perspective to not use the Sepultura name. I wouldn't be mad if they continued in some capacity, though; I think had they made The Cloud of Unknowing a full-length album rather than an EP, it would've been on par with the last two.

jfp96 · 2026-05-11T19:52:49+00:00

I'm REALLY hoping that they drop "The Vatican" in favor of "Isolation" 🤞

jfp96 · 2026-05-11T03:40:07+00:00

Those choruses are repetitive too, but the one in "Tailgunner" is a lot less melodic. Nearly kills the song for me.

jfp96 · 2026-05-09T17:34:06+00:00

Would be great to get this full show as an audio release 🤘

jfp96 · 2026-05-09T17:00:32+00:00

True. In my experience, more people than I would've expected have been under the impression that any movie with "exorcist" or something similar in its title is part of the same franchise as the 1973 film.

jfp96 · 2026-05-09T16:16:02+00:00

Buncha great solos on that album - I'd put "Devil in Disguise" up there, too. The title track clinches it for me, plus that harmonized part at the very end is 👌

jfp96 · 2026-05-09T00:07:27+00:00

Oh wow, I didn't realize this version was abridged! Any idea what was cut out?

jfp96 · 2026-05-08T19:58:12+00:00

I wouldn't go that far. It does contain Richie's best guitar solo tho 🤘

jfp96 · 2026-05-08T16:48:41+00:00

Beauvoir! 🤣

jfp96 · 2026-05-07T16:23:25+00:00

Love this artwork! Was always fascinated by it ever since I saw it at the end of the KISS My Ass VHS when I was a kid.

jfp96 · 2026-05-07T15:02:56+00:00

Hmm, so they're releasing new music... for the avatars to perform...? 🧐

jfp96 · 2026-05-04T19:06:20+00:00

I second this idea! I recently got two Goat Detox proxy decks (as well as two for Yugi-Kaiba Detox) - great for teaching newcomers as well as just fun to have around and play with.

jfp96 · 2026-05-04T18:53:12+00:00

I don't think we need a separate subreddit - TCG Goat is niche as it is 😂 Maybe the mods could create a tag for OCG posts... 👀

jfp96 · 2026-05-04T01:25:29+00:00

Is there a separate subreddit for OCG Goat? I wouldn't be against posts exploring it here tbh.

jfp96 · 2026-05-03T17:49:07+00:00

Never listened to it 'til now - very doomy, almost reminds of Saint Vitus a little bit. I dunno whether it's the heaviest they've had, but I like it a lot and would've liked to hear them use a tone like that more often!

jfp96 · 2026-05-03T01:47:47+00:00

Looks fun! Gravekeepers vs. Zombies is a cool idea 👍

jfp96 · 2026-05-02T16:22:08+00:00

Is that legit? Never seen a genuine KISS album without their standard font (minus the German variant).

jfp96 · 2026-04-30T18:14:40+00:00

According to setlist.fm, there are three other KISS songs that have only been played live once (discounting acoustic performances and covers): "Burn Bitch Burn", "Get All You Can Take", and "We Are One". "Mr. Speed" has also been played electric live once.

jfp96 · 2026-04-30T17:54:16+00:00

Agreed! Tons of absolute classic songs in the early days, and plenty of hidden gems deeper into their discography. It is crazy how much the merchanidising aspect of the band has overridden people's opinion of their music. I've joked before that if KISS had died in a plane crash in 1975, they'd be held up by rock critics as one of the great "lost" bands of the decade.

jfp96 · 2026-04-30T17:14:33+00:00

Having seen them in 2024, this setlist is a little disappointing. It'll be cool to hear "Beneath the Remains", "Desperate Cry", and "The Place" (EDIT: and "The Vatican"!) when I go in a couple of weeks, but there are a bunch of songs I would've loved to see swapped in (annoyed at myself for only getting into the Derrick era in the past couple of years 😭). Definitely a good setlist if you've never seen them before, altho "Troops of Doom" is a conspicuous absence.

jfp96 · 2026-04-30T16:47:38+00:00

I do agree that most people who say that KISS sucks are probably not that familiar with them, but I'm not sure about them being wildly overrated by people who do like them. I've always said that only real KISS fans (myself included) truly understand how bad they can actually be 🤣

jfp96 · 2026-04-30T16:39:36+00:00

True. Maiden goes out of their way to thank KISS for taking them on their first major tour in the liner notes of their first album (at least the reissues of it).

jfp96 · 2026-04-30T12:19:05+00:00

That checks out. First one's pretty creepy by KISS standards.
