But really, how could you forget Lufia 1&2?

“You don’t buy the beer here. You rent it!”

That’s a bummer, but also not entirely surprising when you consider Half-Life 3…

From what I understand, they basically have a very open work structure. People are free to work on what they want, when they want. They actually are against high workloads and do everything they can to prevent employee burnout.

I can’t say if that extends beyond the development teams to other departments like server management, but everything I’ve ever seen about them says they’re all just in it to have fun, make cool shit now and then, and of course make tons of money. The fact that their sales platform basically just prints money helps support that culture, obviously.

“Alexa, all lights off.”

Now, talk to me about going up the stairs from the basement alone…

Everyone knows that’s how the evil clown, ghost, or whatever basement demon living in your house gets you…

Grabs your ankles ands pulls you right back down…

The whole cast is amazing. I had no idea they had so many people from TNG on there until my wife told me last night…

Let’s also not forget Keith David… That man could talk me to sleep any time…

Took a break from Elden Ring and started playing Chrono Cross in ernest for the first time in over 20 years. I lent my original copy to my best friend and never got it back.

I tried a couple times, but only ever got as far as Viper Manor. I’m almost up to Fort Dragonia now. Boned getting Leena at the start. Took the Save Kid Route. Just got Pip, Skelly, and NeoFio. Disappointed I took Guile instead of Glenn… For a character that’s supposed to be Magus, you’d think he’d be decent at anything, but holy crap… He’s just bad…

Shut up, brain! When we were 9, you didn’t even know what cringe was!

That’s the cover art for SF6.

Everything else, totally valid concerns.

Have to see what the casting is going to be like.

Absolutely, getting a PS2 was a game changer for me. DVD playback AND backward compatability. You had PS2, PSX, CD, and DVD all in one. I dumped my VCR shortly after getting it and mothballed my PSX. My 5 disc stereo collected dust until I sold it. Rigged it to my 5.1 speaker system to run on the same line as my computer. Between the PS2 and a properly equipped gaming PC, my bedroom was practically a movie theater, albeit with a tiny ass 22" crt.

They’re actually all considered 6th gen consoles. There’s only a 3 year gap between the Dreamcast and the Xbox.

Dreamcast was 98

PS2 was 2000

GameCube and Xbox were both 01, the year Dreamcast was discontinued.

Dreamcast could have been a wild success, probably would have been, too. The major issue was that the Playstation was still totally dominating the market. 98 and 99 were both ridiculously strong years for PSX title releases. Then the PS2 released and totally overshadowed it. Sega just couldn’t keep up… Nobody could. Not until the market kinda leveled out in 05-06.

I look forward to the day when I pass my screen name on to my son…

And, to this day, I still crave that super thin wedge of pizza once in a while.

Next update: Well, we never actually removed the feature because it’s already irrevocably engrained in the file system. It can’t be turned off or opted out of because it’ll cause your hard drive to explode. Instead, we’ve buried it so deep that only hackers, malware, the government, and Facebook will be able to make use of it.

It’s also important to check your registration now and then too. When my wife and I got married and moved, I went to vote in my new district and found that someone had illegally changed my party affiliation to Democrat.

Details for checking and changing your registration can be found here and here.

Then don’t use it.

Or fork it and remove all instances of the word. Put the pearls down, you’re grinding them to dust.

From what I’ve seen on their site since is that they’re saying they are now GDPR compliant. And I suppose, since they are still open source, that anyone finding anything seriously malicious would have pointed it out by now. Maybe just a bit of bad press and people jumping to conclusions because “Russia bad.”

I do still plan to check out Tenacity though and see if it’s a better project.

Gonna share this, because I had no idea… I think the last time I updated Audacity was, like, 10 years ago…

Here’s Tenacity, which I’ll be checking out shortly…

The torch has been passed…
