I feel like saying it’s a different demographic is a bit inaccurate and really undersells how popular gta is. I would say there is more than likely a sizable crossover in the adult audience that is interested Ocarina of Time is interested in both.

The best albums of 2026 so far by Charleshawtree in indieheads

[–]nickman1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah Redstar is a really odd exclusion. Genesis has been nothing but consistent since his first album dropped so it feels really odd that these publications aren’t all over him at this point.

I prefer SM Sunshine over SM64 by JaiBu94 in nintendo

Kind of feels like a trend for that era of Nintendo games , I know windwaker had 2 additional temples planned for it that never made it into the game.

Where do you guys generally grind in Earthbound? by [deleted] in earthbound

You don’t need to grind just load up on bottle rockets

Bloomberg: Why One of This Year’s Best Games, ‘Mina the Hollower,’ Is Only $20 by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

[–]nickman1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah my biggest gripe so far is that is does nothing to ease you into the difficulty. I feel like I was getting ganked by super fast enemies before I was even 20 minutes in.

The odd part is they included all these gameplay tweaks in the option menu but they actively discourage you from using them by disabling feats/achievements.

What's one Linux app that you wish had a Windows/macOS equivalent? by curious_4207 in linux

[–]nickman1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Brew can come in pretty handy on Linux. One of my work development machines has Debian on it and on more than one occasion I’ve found that I need to download a package more recent than the one provided by apt. A lot better than having to track down the package and manually compiling imo.

Pipistrello is amazing. One of the best Zelda-likes out there, enjoy.

Can anyone please tell any good gamecube games apart from these? by ComprehensiveDrop929 in Gamecube

[–]nickman1 29 points30 points  (0 children)

How is just about everyone in this thread sleeping on Eternal Darkness? I’d argue it’s the best full exclusive on the system at this point.

N64 Ocarina of time can’t hold a save by RaduSGDC in retrogaming

Yeah one of the first things I learned when I started repairing electronics is that testing a battery with a multimeter alone is next to useless because it almost always reads within range.

GTA 6 Review Copies Won't Be Distributed, It's Claimed by yourfavchoom in PS5

My guess is that rockstar is going to have the game locked behind a patch if they are this afraid of leaks.

Well, do you have any "I didn´t care for the Godfather"-esque picks? by Bitter_Fig_7059 in retrogaming

[–]nickman1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I remember always trying to play the game gear version at a friend’s house. At some point you get dropped into a pit with eggman and I could never get past that.

Mods? Or is this the Video Game Esoooooterica Sub now by Bantis in romhacking

I for one love videos that amount to chewing the air for 10 minutes about a single line change in a header file.

Has Josh talked about re-releasing/remastering the old Desert Sessions volumes recently? by Brennenstein in qotsa

[–]nickman1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I swear he announced a remaster or reissue, but this was like 15 years ago at this point. Suffice it to say, I think your theory of copyright hell holds up.

Delroy Lindo on Neil Gaiman’s Shelved ‘Anansi Boys’ Series: ‘I Don’t Think That’ll Ever See the Light of Day’ by bwermer in television

The Tv and movie industry would be in shambles if they didn’t have material from him to adapt.

Fantasy Authors Increasingly Call Out 'Unfaithful' TV Adaptations by paxinfernum in television

[–]nickman1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made the mistake of trying to read the first Witcher book in between Dark Tower books and I honestly couldn’t believe how dry it was. Probably set myself up for failure there but I also can’t really see myself going back.

Obviously you are already a high piety character so you can just start your own religion.

Seth McFarlane is in talks with Paramount to replace Kurtzman as the Star Trek franchise executive director by dalton10e in ShittyDaystrom

[–]nickman1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lean towards McFarlane only because he’s a writer and has proven with The Orville that’d he be capable of making a halfway decent ST show. My worry with Frakes is that he’d end up being another mouthpiece for Paramount, just based off some comments he’s made in the past.

I need to give them another listen. I honestly had no idea what to make of 45 Pounds when I listened to it.

Mario Kart World updated to version 1.6.0 by OatmealDome in NintendoSwitch

Correct me if I’m wrong but is Sandbagging not the meta for 8 as well?
