I recall CQ and BR selling for €10 new years ago, with them trying to sell stock. Maybe I should have gotten one of those on top of the digital, but it's no loss personally. The most recent used copy I've seen is actually the Special Edition cart with all three routes, but it was €110 before and this news will have to travel at some point. 5 hours ago, Interdimensional Observer said: Video games are as ephemeral as life itself, that is the lesson here. Physical is better, but eventually, discs and cartridges wear away, consoles break down. Hopefully all the DLCs and updates and whatnot can be found and preserved by pirates. They deserve praise for keeping many a game preserved for posterity in odd corners of the Internet. That shouldn't be their job, but in the absence of a global video game archive, it's the best we can do. I half-feel like listening to some sad video game tracks right now. My 3DS is within arm's reach at this very moment. I need to give it a play tomorrow, and avoid damaging it with a few of the tears that come from humanity's painful recognition of impermanence as it nonetheless clings to the impermanent. And while I'm at it, maybe I should head into the basement and turn on the old GameCube again and replay what was once Nintendo's greatest crossover, now that's a fossil. I need to sell that thing, it's unhealthy holding on to the perishable for so long. Dammit, video games are supposed to make me feel eternal, not remind me of transience. VG pirates: the heroes we didn't realise we needed. I note that patched Berwick was on the Internet Archive somewhere. For me, it'll be a matter of ensuring I copy everything over properly, updates and all. And before worrying about all that being able to sort out Bank without paying for it in 13 months time.

Armagon Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 And finally, info on Eunie and Taion. Eunie is 18, is a nerd and likes to say fuck. Nah jokes aside, the official Twitter describes her as someone who's good at academics but comes off as rude due to her sharp tongue. Curiously, it does imply she's closer to Lanz than Noah on the friendship scale. Her weapon is also described as a "gunrod" and it does say she's the healer of the group.....do not be like Sharla please i would hate that. Anyways Eunie being 18 seems to confirm my theory that Homs genes have taken over. Taion is 18 and his weapon is a "Katashiro" and he likes to refer to the little origami thingies as "Mondos". He's smart and cheeky but gets annoyed when he doesn't understand something just like the glorious H.B and Ahkos before him. Notice how the party is counterparts: Noah and Mio: off-seers (whatever that means) Eunie and Taion: the smart ones, seem to be support-based Lanz and Sena: the strong tanks Now that we have ages for all the party members, people are finding it curious that Mio is the only one who's 19. I've seen some really wild theories about this, one of them suggesting that this war is actually Basically the war between Keeves and Agnus has gotten so bad that they've resorted to cloning their deceased soldiers. The original party actually died in an earlier battle and who we see here are their clones. And given the long lifespan of some of them, accelerated aging has been implemented for long-lived races. It would tie into the Ouroboros theming but honestly, i think people are looking too deep into this. Sena's character description says she sees Mio as an older sister and that can't really happen if they're the same age. Mio also being a female Xeno protag means she had to be the older one. 3 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Soon they'll shut down the online servers too The servers will at least stay up thankfully.

Interdimensional Observer Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Looks like I'll finally be visiting one museum I've been delaying on seeing for months tomorrow. I can't say I'm enthusiastic about it, but it will be good to get the bother over with, and it ought to be sublime once I'm actually there. Shame the Islamic art galleries are closed, but a good big museum always has something under renovation. 4 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: That was how I felt when I discovered I could destroy opposing racers and knock them out of the competition for the remainder of the course. God, that's just so good. I've been told that's a solid Grand Prix strategy actually. 2 or 3 tracks into a cup, you'll be able to discern your top competitors, and if you manage to bump them out of a race, then they won't get any points for that track and thus ought to cease to be a serious threat to you leading. -You still need to race gud if you want to win though. 40 minutes ago, Armagon said: The servers will at least stay up thankfully. Taking them down might be the better option. From what I've heard with XCX, hackers took over the Global Nemesis/Yggralith Zero stuff a long time ago and have since been killing it in a very short timespan, too short for any residual real players of the game to get many Reward Tickets out of it. 40 minutes ago, Armagon said: Mio also being a female Xeno protag means she had to be the older one. We can slightly expand this to non-Xeno Monolith games. Milly IIRC is 16 to Sagi's 15, Soma Bringer's Idea is older than Welt as well. And how can we ignore the vast age gulf between Reiji and Xiaomu for ten years she has been grooming him into her ideal man I tell you? 4 hours ago, Dayni said: Greatest crossover? Just me fondly looking back on my childhood and thinking "and to think, Melee was once heralded as the greatest imaginable Nintendo matchup ever". Elitists and their wavedash whining might still think it so, but I'm not referring to that garbo, just to the majesty and awe of the game in general, particularly for my much younger self. It was only the second game in the franchise, so it's not like it was a foregone conclusion that we would get another and another and another, Melee felt more special. *Sniffles* I want that sense of wonder back!

Just watching this gives me... vertigo? Motion sickness? An irrational feeling of "Stop! Slow down! I don't want to fall off the track!"? If it weren't for your issues with N64 emulation, I'd suggest trying F Zero X as well. Some fans prefer it to its successor GX. It is a little sparse for graphical detail, but Nintendo had to make that sacrifice to maintain a stable 60 fps amidst the high-speed 30-vehicle racing. 3 hours ago, Benice said: Oh dear... Context on the joke, Reiji is... I'm not sure how old actually. But given he and Haken regard each other without any acknowledgements of seniority or inferiority, I'm inclined to say early mid-twenties. 23? 25? Something like that. Xiaomu is 765 probably 766 or 767 by now but she doesn't want to admit it. So like a 740 year difference between them. Reiji's father used to be her coworker, and she has known Reiji for at least 10 years. Haken infers Reiji was raised by a woman at one point, and then soon gets indirect confirmation it was Xiaomu. She herself admits that she has trained Reiji ever since the incident ten years ago in Namco X Capcom. Although I wouldn't call Xiaomu domineering whatsoever. Despite officially being Reiji's senior coworker, he will spank the insubordination of her if necessary. 14 minutes ago, Benice said: I submitted this for my first english assignment, I'm gonna get a terrible mark this year.

GX looks to have enough content to keep me going for a while, anyway. Took me five attempts to beat emerald cup on novice difficulty. Imagine the rest of the difficulties.

Of course, Agnus and Keves would have bigger problems than the war itself if they needed to clone soldiers. The war is probably orchestrated by a third party to feed souls to their Deus-analogue god/monster/weapon; I don't know if the off-seering feeds the souls to "Deus" or they prevent "Deus" from eating them however.
