I did grow up around Detroit that's why I wear these hats. And I'm not afraid of black people just annoyed by a portion of them because I've actually been around them unlike sheltered dweebs like you. Only rich white picket fence retards glamorize poverty "culture" because they're far removed from the danger of it. Now go thinking you're a tough MMA douche until you get in your first street fight at age 30 something and either get jumped and shut down or shot in the face because it's the adult world

I now live not in Michigan but it's a state with extremely liberal gun laws, and no they're not legal anyway ya dumb square faggot

The tv show wasn't about the Kung Lao in the games, it was based on the ancient Kung Lao he was descended from who's only mentioned in lore within the games.

That show was weird as shit because it used popular characters who didn't make sense being in that time period like Scorpion and Noob Saibot

I had a friend who used to play Diablo 2 non-stop on his e-machines shitbox. He bought both Diablo 2 and the e-machine at Walmart. Then he robbed a gas station and went to jail. From this experience, I learned that you should never play Diablo 2.

It just means you value your time.

I liked 1 and 2 when they were new as a single player experience or with friends that you played through like an RPG with a beginning, middle and end. I have never understood the appeal of games where you endlessly do the same mindless tasks with the gameplay hook being finding tools that let you do the same repetitive task 1% more efficiently.

Is there a better controller for /vr/ purposes?

It doesn't work with any of my adapters yet, so no? I do like the dpad on it infinitely more than I did the pro 2 and sn30, though, It's really good for the switch 2 and has become my main controller for that system.

I've had one for a couple months, hardly use it, doesn't feel great in the hands, feels cheap. I started havingbissues with it, if I push all the way right on the right stick it says that I'm pushing left.
>>
The sticks, triggers and build quality are an upgrade from the Pro 2, but the buttons are so fucking loud and the clicky dpad isn't really to my tastes. I rarely use mine, instead I just stick with the Pro 2 with its shitty squeaky triggers but tolerable dpad and face buttons. The lack of Xinput in BT mode is bizarre too. It's such a one step forward two steps back kind of controller.

The M30 line is the only truly great controller that 8bitdo have ever done. I've got two and they've served me incredibly well across a variety of genres with digital movement.

All they have to do is get everything they can in each level before going to the next. If they're complaining about backtracking, they didn't look in the levels enough before moving on.

>Some people might say Bubblegloop Swamp needs the speed shoes too but just like, git gud lol.
It's a bit RNG without the shoes. You have to steal his targets so he accumulates points at a slower rate than you, but there's 0 delay on the re-pathing, so as soon as you eat one of his he can turn right around and land in a patch of reds spawned right that frame. He then clocks up 2 while you're surrounded by yellows. Next time that doesn't happen and you win. Makes it a weak challenge.

The cookbook is also a UK reference, to TV chef Fanny Cradock. I promise im not so old that I remember the 70s. Its the TVs fault for showing so many bloody repeats for actual literal decades. Those once timely sitcom references kept some things alive far longer than common sense would dictate.

I’m guessing these aren’t the same Sonic comics as the ones published by the same guys who did the Archie comics? Cuz something about these sure seems a bit off by comparison.

There's probably better these days like Expedition 33 that everyone loves, but back then it was a good cheap alternative to Final Fantasy X. I like it enough and only later did I play FFX to find I couldn't finish it when they wanted the whole world to sing in unison, I quit FFX and never went back, so I actually prefer Shadow Hearts as it was a much more tolerable experience.

Yes, fantastic series that peaks at Covenant.
Play Koudelka if you want some additional lore (its a prequel) and lays the groundwork for the general vibe they were going for with the series. The PS2 games basically just get wackier and wackier as they release. The games have unique backdrops in that you play in 20th century settings with alternate / fantasy horror thrown in. You literally play as Russian Princess Anastasia in Covenant. Al Capone is a major character in Brave New World. Its just something really fresh and different if you're tired of usual fantasy / scifi crap.
1 is kind of a tough game but pretty short. It always felt like a PS1 rpg on PS2 (pre rendered backgrounds, it DEFINITELY feels like an early PS2 game)
2 (Covenant) has probably one of my favourite battle systems in any jrpg I've ever played, it was so goddamn fun chaining attacks. My only complaint might be is that the game is a bit easy.
New World is just wacky as shit, definitely more challenging, my least favourite of the series but its still good.
>>
>>12387809
It's pretty good. I also like Koudelka a lot, but that one is less of a traditional JRPG.

Didn't beat the game

I finally made my gf, a gen Z who grew up on ps1 and ps2, play Super Mario World, I chose World because I deem it the easier of the retro Mario games to get into.
Well, she was completely crushed by it and got super frustrated. She was able to barely make it through Yoshi's Island 2 but starting from YI3 she wasn't able to beat ANY level, I also keep reminding her to use the run button to jump longer but I don't know, she can't grasp it.
I keep beating levels (we were playing 2 player mode) and by the time she tried Donut Plains 3 she gave up.
I then gave her my 3ds and she played New SMB2 and had a much easier time with it, started beating levels and got to the first castle all on her own.
She's also not bad at video games but admittedly her expertise is puzzle games like Puyo Puyo, Dr Mario and Tetris.
She also plays some survival horror games and FPSs, but I guess 2D action/platformer just isn't on her system.
Still, it made me realize how SMW is only "easy" for those of us who played lots of Mario and platformers in general.
The New series really was made with less skilled/experienced players in mind

The New series is extremely underrated

Virtual Boy:
Has a flashcart with a color e-ink screen that when you select a game can display the cover art (or any other picture you want) despite the fact that not only was the Virtual Boy a device that covered your eyes so you wouldn't be able to see it, but it made you plug the cart inside it so the label would be blocked from anyone seeing it anyway.

Just about every other console which has the cart sitting visibly front and center:
Flashcart has a paper label.

Wasn't the point of e-ink that it was cheap as shit since it was basically like an etchasketch or some shit? I remember e-ink readers being dirt cheap but I didn't too much attention to the tech.
>>
>>12390994
No, the point of e-ink is that it pretty much looked just like paper, didn't need a backlight, and the display retains the image with no power. You only need to supply power to change the image, once it has been changed the image remains until power is applied to change it again.

This made it ideal for ebook readers since they could have battery life measured in weeks or months since they would only need to turn on for a few seconds to turn the page then turn off again.

>No, the point of e-ink is that it pretty much looked just like paper, didn't need a backlight, and the display retains the image with no power.
I am aware of all of that, I still have an old e-reader that uses it, its amazing. I just remember them being cheap as shit for years before people just moved over to tablet bullshit and phasing them out entirely.
