They don't have a regular general thread, like Doom (which is likely just spam bots anyway), but they do have regular "threads". There's always at least one up for some reason, whether it be an h-game autist, or someone mentioning how amazing Dead of the Brain is.

One of my favorite things to do in games it glitch hunting and playing around with ones that others have found. I rarely see much discussion about this stuff outside of niche communities like speedrunning or whatever.

A personal example I remember was finding numerous OOB areas in Resident Evil 4, a little interesting note there is basically every room in the game has a hidden cache of ammo and some other odd items OOB you can pick them up and I don't know what purpose they serve but it sure is neat.

Post your own stories or knowledge or whatever, as long as it involves vidya glitches.

in my case it would have been when i was 6 years old replaying super mario bros. and got to the end of 1-4 and thought " i wonder what would happen if i touched the axe but also got hit by bowser at the same time but with a mushroom so i don't die?"
thought for the longest time i was pretty clever till i learned that "do two things at the exact same time" is a pretty common setup for glitches

I figured out the double jump glitch the very first time I played Spyro 2. I had no idea it was even a glitch since all it lets you do is get slightly out of bounds but nearly all out of bounds areas are fully modeled with full collision anyway so you're not likely to break the game unless you know what you're doing.

On a similar note, I loved how basically every Ratchet and Clank game had some kind of infinite jumping or wall climbing glitch. I think they even talk about it on the dev commentaries on youtube and how they seriously did not add them in on purpose. I was only ever able to reliably do the one in the PS3 game though.

only criticism for this game is that you can't adjust the audio for some things,
mainly the radio comms being a severe earrape.
it's too loud, and to hear the gameplay adequately, you have to turn the volume up. bad balance.

Raise luck to get more drops.

I raised speed for all (faster battles)
Magic for Koudelka
Melee for Edward
Guns for the priest

Later everyone had guns because bullets were plentiful. Fights were over quickly

I think the complaints come from people fucking up their stats. You get a shitload of weapons so them breaking isn't even an issue.

Honestly the twist of Cloud wanting to become SOLDIER so much that it caused him trauma, and made him impersonate someone else and live an illusion created by his mind, and also one of the Sephiroth clones that creepily roam the earth like a religious cult worshiping searching fir their god. Really shocked my mind, it’s really superb storytelling. Sad that the overall story is undercooked which makes me believe they probably took it from some other work.

ive posted this here a million times but i played a hack of the old 90s game "bunny killer" called "nazi killer" on my friend's dad's old black and white second-hand macintosh. im 100% positive that was the name but there is no trace of this game on the internet at all. i can only assume it was some homebrew thing that is now lost.

It's possible, but certainly far less possible than 15 years ago. Odds are greater that they wind up on ebay or sent to a grading service and sold on some "premium" auction site like Heritage Auctions.

Nobody posted Manly Guys Doing Manly Things yet? I used to follow those comics sporadically back in the day, although it was more of a late 00's thing. I liked the art style and thought they were pretty funny. The website is still up, although it hasn't been updated in years.

Bad choice of words then; it's much, much harder to keep your kids safe on the internet these now. Back then, normalfags kids at least, the worst was stranger danger in chatrooms & stumbling upon shock sites.

Like it's a specific kind of kid that would reach 4chan, and furries were still told to yiff in hell. It was page 30 of google image search before you got to poorly drawn rule34.

Now it's insanity beamed directly in people's skulls.
