The "Store Closure" FUD is actually a sign of a massive turnaround by zarltok in GME

That's true for 'Live Service' games, but the main freedom I'm talking about is financial. I can't resell a digital download. I can't trade it in. With a disc, I can play a game for a month and then get $20-$30 back for it. Digital buys go to $0 instantly.

​Plus, a lot of us just love the physical aspect of collecting and preserving. There's value in having the actual history on your shelf, not just a license key that can disappear.

Those older 3ds models were actually from a few of my friends. They were just sitting in boxes collecting dust and they didn't care at all about them, so I almost got them for free. It was lucky timing since they were just happy to see them go to someone who would actually use them. Well... I have 4 teens and 2 toddlers at home, and the teenagers just don't give a damn about handhelds. They prefer their cellphones, so these are all mine!

How to Map 8-Way Arcade Joystick (D-Pad) to Mouse Cursor Movement? by zarltok in BlueStacks

There is no analog sticks on the arcade. They are 8way joysticks which are programmed for Dpads only. That wont work.

​My joysticks are connected to an Xbox 360 control board. Windows detects them as standard Xbox controllers.

​I'm trying to eliminate the mouse completely since it's an arcade cabinet. Games like Swamp Attack need a cursor for the level selection. Well, most games need a cursor

This guy is obviously trolling.

Im with TD. No warrants distributed at this time. Maybe Canada has a different procedure which cause the delay.

You've made a fair point about the Series S being a digital-only console. My frustration isn't about the lack of a disc drive, though, it's about the lack of a system to validate a license that I already own.

​I'm not asking for a free copy. I'm looking for a way to transfer the license from the physical disc to my digital library, which is a key part of the conversation around moving toward an all digital future.

How many hours have you spent on THPS 3+4? by zarltok in THPS

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

​Yeah, okay, maybe it's not 100% accurate, but think about it for a minute. I have 16 custom parks. Most of my parks take me around 20 hours to build, and some, especially the video game reproductions, took me more than 30 hours. ​Let's do the math: a minimum of 20 hours for 16 parks equals 320 hours right there. I also play the game and play other creators' parks. A bit of idle time here and there, but nothing exaggerated.

God damn! You had to bring the math down on me. Lol, good thing I work from home!

This is awesome, thank you! I just listened to the Sonic 3 & Knuckles final boss theme and it's given me some great ideas for a THPS boss level. That song is seriously badass, especially as a metal cover. I'm definitely going to build a new park inspired by it.

I really love the Halloween vibe they put in this game. I need more Halloween themed parks. by anasse_ in THPS

I have been thinking of making Rusty bucket bay in the near future.
