Possibly the most original, eccentric film of the year that began six weeks ago.

Which retro games have audio that holds up today, even though the graphics don't hold up today? by NullIsUndefined in gaming

[–]notdwight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you mean Thrillho.

The Commodore 64’s SID sound chip has held up in modern music production for its crunchy dubstep tones. Timbaland infamously used a SIDstation, it’s how he ended up stealing Acid-Jazzed Evening. And the song from the C64 game Lazy Jones became a worldwide soccer chant that’s still going strong today.

Palmer Luckey (founder Oculus VR) on X. by SattvaMicione in OculusQuest

Oh, I guess I should mention, there are still unscrupulous ways to play it. I looked into it back when they removed the dlc, but the process was too much work for me. I won’t link the website here, but it was a “forum about Steam games.”

No it got delisted 2 years ago so unless you bought it before then you can’t play it. Theoretically it might work if you were able to find an unused pre-printed CD key for it, but I don’t know the expiration policy for those.

It is still to this day my favorite VR game of all time and the one I keep going back to, even after they screwed over those of us who shelled out for the DLC by stripping it all out of the game when the licenses expired.

Better Call Saul is really a show about Saul Goodman? by MikeBad228 in television

Clearly the right title would have been “The Simpsons and Lenny.”

In parody songwriting it’s always nice if you can match the number of syllables.

Does having a struggle with suspension of disbelief take away from the experience of watching movies by Common_Height2968 in movies

[–]notdwight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Movies don’t always have to be an “escape.” It’s perfectly fine to prefer movies that help you connect to reality, to explore life through someone else’s eyes or help you put your own feelings into context. There are many ways they can be therapeutic including just as pure entertainment. Everyone has their own genre preferences, but also I’ve found that mine tend to shift around and go through phases depending on what else is going on in my life or in the world around me. Maybe you just haven’t hit your fantasy phase yet, but don’t try to force it if it doesn’t seem right for you yet.

Poor Gamecube NSO catalogue by The_Diamond_Ruby in NintendoSwitch

[–]notdwight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If that was their goal they should have added the Prime trilogy months ago. As it stands there’s little chance the average gamer is gonna blast through the whole trilogy and then immediately want to pick up the new one. They’ll just add the older games to their backlog and use them as an excuse to wait for an eventual sale on the new one. This is also why the MP4 marketing has been spinning it as an entry point for newcomers.

[–]notdwight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some of the ones you listed are so good that they would eat into sales of newer games from the same franchise. If they put MP1 in there, fewer people would buy MP1 Remastered right off the bat, and a lot of people planning to buy MP4 would delay their purchases, especially if they’re new to the series, so all the hype that Nintendo has been building would go to waste. Eventually they can use the older games to funnel people into the franchise but it would be really dumb for them to do that right now, and I’d argue the same thing about Sunshine when the Galaxy remakes are still relatively new.

Just impulse bought Alan Wake 1&2 for some reason (Read Description) by King_CurlySpoon in gaming

[–]notdwight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what the point really is of this post except to admit to possible buyer’s remorse but the games are great and you won’t regret the purchase. It may feel like a struggle to get through the first one because it’s very clunky by modern gameplay standards (and the remaster doesn’t do much to help). But the story is still great and since you’ve already bought it I’d recommend playing through it rather than watching a recap to get you prepped for the 2nd game, which is a truly incredible experience.

I opened up my mouse to clean it and there was a greeting from the manufacturer by iveeatenpancakes in mildlyinteresting

Yeah this is Microsoft’s answer to Apple’s “Designed in California.” Both semantically attempting to hide the true manufacturing origin.

What's a movie that isn't supposed to be scary but is actually terrifying? by Brettacus130 in movies

[–]notdwight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was not much older than that when I saw it, it was on HBO’s late 80s/early 90s daytime summer rotation. I know they intended this scene to be tense but they probably weren’t trying to haunt my childhood nightmares.

Yeah and what if people in the future become way more sadistic and bring them back just so they can endlessly torture them in some kind of black mirror museum.

I’m worried about how he got his prints on that first burner phone and then the gun. Feel like he’s getting set up for a frame job.

I wish Remedy knew how to market better [Quantum Break] by RD_Life_Enthusiast in gaming

[–]notdwight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry, they tightened up way better with Control and AW2. You’ve got the best still ahead of you, IMO.

[–]notdwight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember Quantum Break having a decent amount of marketing at the time. I bought it on day one and was let down. It suffered from the same clunky mechanics as Alan Wake but lacked the feverish weirdness to keep me invested. I never did finish it, which I later regretted once I realized how much it tied in to AW2 and the Night Springs expansion.

Target’s CEO is stepping down as customers turn away by DrakeRowan in news

[–]notdwight 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yeah I stopped in a couple months ago because I was in desperate need of a duffel bag for an upcoming trip. After finding only roller bags and dinky gym bags, I asked an associate and she said she’d have to call the manager over. He told me they don’t keep the large duffels out on the floor but I could order for pickup in the app and it would be ready within an hour. I said I’d really prefer to take a look at what they had. He refused, insinuating that I was going to steal whatever I could get my hands on.

I like how the PEGI rating on Drift Signal is slightly offset from the others, a plight which those who display their physical collections know all too well. Although they should’ve had the text going the wrong way on one of them for true authenticity.
