using x64 on consoles is dumb
kind of how Sony was high on their own farts after PS2
I regret a lot of Nintendo purchases.
i think scott the woz put it best with the ps3's launch
"sony was confident they could sell anything with a "ps" followed by a number"
I begged my parents to get me a Wii when I was little and when I got it... I stopped playing after like a year.
A year is such a short time span for that systems life span.
I stopped after a month
i still have my wii
The Wii is still popular.
it's good for gamecube games
I have all playstations from the first one up
I still got my DS in my desk drawer
That thing felt outdated the day it came out
I pull it out from time to time to fuck about with Trauma Center
DS was dope
The WiiU had no marketing.
Didn’t even know it existed until 3 months after it came out.
But then again, it's usually not the platform but the games
I was like “What the fuck is a wiiu.”
I see that dream cast.
reeeeeeeee
not the same thing
so what? i don't want to deal with memory cards
He got that P S TRIPLE
iconic af
only console out of all of those I owned was the NES
considering replacing the ps4 with a saturn
after that I became the Amiga kid
i actually hardly use the ps4 in this setup
Aight I’m gonna knock out
Hell, yeah. Amiga bois
Cya all never
Did you have Moonstone?
I'm still amazed at how many different death animations there are in it
That game was worse than Mortal Kombat
given the time it came out in
i hardly use that ps4 because
tho the game I played the most of on my amiga was Cannon Fodder
fucking war never been so much fun
i use this ps4 instead
Some mountain troll chomped off your head and shit. Fucking awesome.
I still have the main theme on my phone
Speedball Tournament, Lotus Esprit, MK 2, Soccer Kid
anyway my problem with the saturn is that hardly anything got localized for north america
People are so clean and proper with their shit. I legit just put some of my stuff on the floor and leave it there lmao
recently i learned that it's easy to bypass the region lock if you just have an action replay, but that still makes it hard for me to play certain kinds of games because i'm not good at japanese
i wanna play mr bones though
I still have to do the ghetto disc swap to run backups tho
modding stuff was pretty common back then, heck around here it was harder to buy the legit hardware
Where you load a real game, then just swap discs after it authenticates
like a dreamcast boot cd
except people have now reached the point where you don't even need to do that
god the copy protection on the dreamcast is weak

Yeah, they can sort of put the boot disc onto the game disc itself
So you can straight up load backups without swapping
man, old days piracy protection and region locking was the trolliest shit
earthbound's is great
I remember those old manuals they had for amiga games
Probably ps2
where you had to do a piracy check by putting in a word from specific page and line they told you
i've seen those
Yeah, but they cracked those to accept anything, so...
speaking of which, a couple of my genesis games are missing their manuals and i wanna find someone who can do reprints
i love the cases genesis games came in
they're so much nicer than snes and nes games since those were just cardboard and were often thrown out
i believe the genesis and sms cases were identical
just the inside was shaped differently to fit the different cartridges
Except for the cards perhaps. Didnt have those
im not old as y'all and iran shops always sold pirated shit far as memory serves so only thing i rember is my aunt once givin us a non pirated game and we couldnt play at the same time cuz we needed to have the game disk in the drive at the time

i want a power base converter
i think you're right
i saw a copy of sonic and knuckles in a game store and it was a cardboard box
That game, man
Hilarious how being older I look back at NvS and I remember "Oh yea I always played and rooted for the south"
"because they got better music"

i may be 20 but i have genesis nostalgia
because i got a plug-and-play genesis from radica when i was 7
When that fucking Mexican woke up and blew up your army for no reason
Crack me that Dixie all day erry day
I had a ton of Mega Drive stuff
thunder force iv's been my favourite so far
gameplay is tight and the soundtrack is so fucking good
Used to play golden axe 2 with a friend so much
only got pc games on my shelf now, I dont have any of my amiga, nes or atari games anywhere anymore 
i also bought sonic 3 off ebay so i'm hoping that'll arrive soon
you have physical pc games?
Having games on shelves in 2019
they're actually a goddamn rarity here
I mean the boxes now are more a decoration

half the CDs propably wouldn';t even work lel
collection% flex
or maybe he just never could keep his working
yes
well the other thing is most of them propably wouldn't even run on win 10

i should get my dreamcast games resurfaced, on that note
there's some scratches
not unplayable though
luckily I can buy most of them on gog so at least there's that
I could replay Gothic for the 99th time
i got sonic cd on steam as a gift from a friend
i'm not interested in hunting down a real copy
because that'd mean i'd have to get a sega cd too
and if you see my setup there, only the model 1 sega cd which goes under the genesis will fit the shelf
i recall dreamcast games being very sensitive around the outer edges, since that's where the drm sits
and all that for a single game? nah
no drm
the dreamcast's only copy protection was literally just the fact it used gd-roms
it's just that dreamcast cd's were sloppily pressed
is it the boot section then?
idk
maybe it's a myth but i heard if they got scratched there, you got shafted
lemme examine my dreamcast games
wouldn't that be the case if there was the bad sector check drm
i mean
yes, the format was the protection
but discs were written from the center to the outer edges
so maybe if your disc was too small, it wouldnt fit the code?
ditto with soulcalibur
and they banked on that working?
actually few dreamcast games made use of the extra 300 mb
i know. i downloaded enough of them lmao
dreamcast was just weird
my copies of crazy taxi 2, soulcalibur, and msr all have a few scratches there but they boot fine
controller weird, vmu weird
probably due to error correction
god the controller's weird
i actually don't like it terribly much
i love the vmu's concept but everything else is bleh
i always get that nice "your vmu battery is dead" beep
why remove the c and z buttons? why no second analog? why do the grips force me to have my hands fucking parallel?
i think the most hilarious thing is how much the dreamcast controller influenced the xbox duke
all the way down to the xbox controller having two memory card slots
next time y'all use an xbox controller, remember
it was not a good controller
sega came up with that face button layout
they also age poorly
they yellow, their analog stick and d-pad get loose as fuck, etc
man, all this nostalgia talk made me go over my gog library
and I know what I'll be playing over the weekend
worst d-pad award still goes to the gamecube
nah
ever try a saturn model 1 controller?
i've heard it's pretty nasty
the d-pad, that is
though the controller in general
i have one. worked fine for me back then
at least it's big enough
but yeah, the shape is horrible
yeah, that one
yup
with the edges sticking out
when i got my hands on a japanese model 2 controller i was surprised to find out the shoulder buttons were like mouse buttons lol
it does feel weird, i will give you that
oh, the fucking keyboard controller thing?
thanks for reminding me that thing existed rei
i played fighting games with it though, and it was fine
ye
they switched to this, which is like a natural evolution of the genesis six-button
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e0/Sega-Saturn-Controller-NA-Mk-II-FL.jpg
you're welcome
i could not play fighting games with the gamecube controller though
and that's what makes it worse to me
one thing i do like about the dreamcast controller's analog stick btw
it's stiff and tiny
I mean I can't play any controller where the D-pad is below the analog stick
which is why I dont own a 360 controller and instead have a PS3 one
it has some very subtle notchings so that you still have the eight cardinal directions
like a gamecube controller
I physically can't even with a 360 controller
when it comes to racing games, xbox one controller
xb1 controller is nice
fighting games, dualshock
still not optimal, but i dont think that's possible
i hear the scarlett controller will be very similar
something is always going to feel off
I'm just genetically incompatible with xbox controllers
if it's not the pad, it's the stick
and phil spencer basically indirectly confirmed that xbox one controllers will be forward compatible
Played too much on PSX and PS2, my muscle memory's burnt in by now
any other controller layout just feels alien to me
he mentioned playing on scarlett with an xbox elite series 2
meanwhile look at me
i've got like eight different controllers to deal with lmao
soda have you seen this before
its called the alpha grip
cuz betas cant grip it 
my friends fucking die from muscle memory when they play on consoles other than xboxes
g r o s s
you could propably still master it if you were korean
the pro typing controller

anyway i'm generally pretty capable of switching between controllers
though sometimes i'll accidentally press circle when i meant x on a playstation, or b instead of a on a nintendo console
the thing that triggers me the most about that controller btw
nintendo isnt color-coded
is the ball on top
if there's one thing i dislike about the genesis controller though
and it isn't really its fault
reminds me of those disgusting mouses that they tried to peddle at one point
it's that most games back then had no clear consensus on whether a or c should be the "accept" menu button
the ones where you'd have to roll the ball to move the cursor
because their labels conflict with the xbox controller
trackballs
hello there, I am evil, you can trust me 
yea trackballs
anyway
another issue i have actually is
ironically, despite the wealth of racing games on the genesis, the six-button is poorly equipped for racing games
because of the lack of shoulder buttons
i can't accelerate and change gears simultaneously
ive mainly played on ps controllers before,
on pc most games I've seen go with the xbox mapping icons
and the gamepads i can buy for cheap here are gay and mark the buttons with numbers luke 1 2 3 4 5 6 etc
makes me have to spend a whole 10 mins figuring what each button is
just learn the xbox layout
that's also why if you see a third-party controller that does have the symbols for face buttons, they always look a bit off
it's pretty much all you need
anyway i gotta hop off
been fun talking about this though
later i'd like to talk about everything i love about console maker sega and everything that frustrates me about their decisions that killed them
just learn the xbox layout
well from yakuza the buttons i rember dont look at all like what i just saw on a standard layout kek
had to press the top button for A and its supposedly the button below
gaympads
Y
XB
A
it's been the standard for pc gaming for a while, so learning it helps
because every single modern game uses it
i dont trust these fake cheapass iran gamepads getting it right
and they usually dont

yeah, nintendo has them switched, same with X and Y
and since they dont use colors, it's hard for me to tell the difference
because when i see X, i think xbox X
not nintendo X
i think my yakuza life was spent like A, BY, X
its ok i beat the game with those anyway
i mean i wasnt exactly curious where the buttons are
so didnt gab to google
time to go buy some bred for brekfast

i wish companies stopped trying to be smart. changing my language without my consent is fucking annoying.
"you live in bermany? you like berman language? here is berman language. please enjoy in berman."
bruh
i set it to english for a reason, but okay
sounds like me every win 10 update
"We know you defaulted a specific language pack but we're gonna install some other shit and make that default anyway"
thanks fam
it's so annoying

to make matters worse, it sometimes ends up half-translated
so some shit is in one language and the other in another
is it true that most of Germany speaks eng
some guy got me a gamepass so i could play halo with him
but to do that on pc i gotta have windows updated to install some xbox beta app
and it keeps failing to updoot
think its just gaysoft having iran banned too

happy lif
with irun
reminds me of the gays for windows live
where I'd buy an original game in poland and not be allowed to play multiplayer
cause the service wasn't available
so you had to pretend to be british to bypass it
young germans are more likely to understand english, but older ones arent
al is old already
i went to school with people who were like "why learn english? i live in germany. i dont need it"
ok boomer
well, get fucked.
denglish is the worst
there was apparently some shooting in the capital again today
im afraid
pls dont kill internet again
I'm assuming denglish is what Zed and prinz speak in the anime

do you even live in capital rei
no
denglish is when they unironically mix english words into german
my son does it a lot
but they turned off the whole internet just cuz 2 or 3 cities had riots back during the petrol shit
no one is safe

so like engrish but with german
more like german but with english
the D comes from deutsch
i dont know. it's a dumb name anyway
right. you're polish. you know a thing or two.
I had my share of german at school
tho I forgot most words
I still like to piss of the KC guy from Germany by saying Scheisswurst tho
we had forced arabic lessons
cuz its the language of god and our religion and blah blah
lmao
nobody has ever seen god, but everyone knows him
i slept through all classes except English
sounds like tanya universe
i wasnt referring to the holy trinity
i was more memeing
(what is that sentence even?)
as in
they're, like, 5 or so bros
sitting in heaven, watching earth vision
I'm still waiting for waifuism to become an actual religion
and then one of them spits on the planet and tells the others "check this out. they mad"
then instead of fighting people over different hats
we can fight people over different waifus

it's great
feetfu
so we think "man, what a nasty guy", but it's just one of them, and the other ones are pretty chill or something
I mean, if the other gods dont stop the one that's trolling
that kinda makes them all complicit
maybe it's to stop them from fighting
so they just avoid conflict altogether
i dont know, man. it doesnt matter. i was just thinking "what if we mistake 5 guys for one, and that's why we get it all wrong like the idiots we are"
tanya gods be like
"o shit boiz humanity's faith in us has dropped"
"lets make this crazy loli get a power boost when she praises us so she can keel easier"
"nice idea fam"
uh, that's not how I remember tanya god
tho in the anime they just changed it to a single god entity
my wife: wakes me up 5 times in the morning
also my wife: "why are you up? i thought you wanted to sleep"
wasn't he an asshole who turned him into a loli who has to praise god to utilize super powers
in order to make him believe in god
make me coffee, woman
i just said they changed some deets
so it's another one of those "Go read the manga" shit
the anime just has 1 god
ln has a few
lmao
they've animated upto vol 4 or 5
okay, since we're at mangos
movie considered
vinland
i know

I got one, for big bois
also, berserk
prob not doujins
if you're talking lewds, yes

something old men like me can read without feeling insulted
prob without shitty whiny main chars
I mean, I'm reading Yancha gal no Anjou-san right now
it's about a smart guy getting jebaited by a gyaru
like
other than that, Komi-san wa Komyushou Desu is pretty wholesome
if the guy loses his shit over some boobs, i'm kinda out
started reading it after lord and savior gigguk mentioned it in a vid
since i can't identify with that
and it's played out
gonna write that one down
can't be worse than a waste of time
which one, komi-san or yancha gal
yancha
cause so far neither feels like a waste of time to me
found it
seinen, adult, mature. sounds good.
school life does not though
what's with all this shit always being in schools?
gone through 5 chapters and school's more just a setting than actual plot element
it's mostly about an A-grade student getting teased by a girl

@wintry sonnet this is their god council thingie back in the mango

no u

i read the mango while ago but it hadnt even got to where the anime was

so the blueballs from the animu remained so just went off to the ln kek
i dont get it
that anime was so fucking dumb and ugly, but i guess people liked it
then again, i love jojo, and some people think that's dumb and ugly too
youjo senki?
yeah
I mean the premise is a bit dumb, but the show itself was pretty enjoyable
them flying around was what killed it for me, i think. that was a bit much.
i like my nazi stories a little more grounded. pun not intended.
they're kind of a mix of germany and russia
actually I still dont know 100% if it's more a 1st WW setting or 2nd
doesnt really matter. the vibe is similar to ww2, at least to me.
either way, it's not for me
that girl from yancha has a huge forehead
@wintry sonnet 

@wintry sonnet 
I only need the buttplug and corncob

@wintry sonnet watching gigguk's hentai vid. laughing my ass off.
I remember that one
the ugly bastard part got me
it's even better when you enjoy that shit
I dont want any ugly bastards in my fortnite
the one with the silver haired girl in a swimsuit btw
is 👌
i like that he called out queen bee
tfw a brand name is one of the worst tags
that's my personal ugly bastard. quite literally. their stuff looks so bad.
eh, unwarranted flak
tho I might be biased cause they adapted a couple thin books and mangos I was a fan of so 

i didnt say it was bad. i said it looks bad. i like some of the stories and settings.
still cant decide if i wait for more c97 merch in booth or just buy stuff 
but the art and the animation are usually really bad.
@wintry sonnet 
nice. done with the hololive dorm set
the default setup is pretty nice
too bad you cant rotate the holodisplay
because there's an empty spot where it would fit nicely
"this is nothing compared to how proud doujinshi readers feel when they watch a hentai and realise "I played fortnite to this"
you're goddamn right

lmao
that's the one thing I can relate to manga readers with
bitch, I played fornite to this when it wasn't even translated yet
I can't stand doujins in my native language
because our language is a lot filthier than english
i really dislike stuff in german, but this is on a completely different level
nah, man
it's way filthier than that 
halp, I realized I can't be lazy and have to farm for keeping Mio, so does later stages give more Mio points or I'm okay farming the event stages I did and 3-4?
fug, that means I have to keep her alive too
only in boss fight
she doesnt have to participate in other fights
she only needs to be present in alive for boss
yea I have her in my "better" fleet
hence you can also deploy your regular bossing fleet alongside her during boss fights 
also there's not much point farming her points if you're gonna go below chapter 10 of story
use the other to clean the stage
I'm far from chapter 10 
if you're struggling w/ the event maps, you can farm the lower stage event map and still give decent points
shouldnt be too hard
just keep her alive during boss fight
I was done on 2nd day lel
at 2,7k points now
wew
i used her until she hit 30 or so. did the rest without her.
i'm at 1400 mio points right now
1.9k here
oof, I'm relatively new, and I play lightly, so yeah looks like some effort needs to be done now

most of those that are active in here are pretty dedicated, even if they're lazy and bored
i cant imagine not getting her
just keep grinding
cheers madlads
oh hey
someone just got a cassin from purple bote commi
much purple

ugh
my discord keeps brainfarting but other apps are fine with inet
then they brainfart and discord is fine

Why is LÄMP Being spammed in chat
just block them. problem solved.
that's even better. it's rarely worth reading anyway.
I finally got black prince! 
nice
🍪
hope you bought her l2d
nice joke
what? it's legit one of the best skins in the game
i aint talkin bout the skin but more on sayin that to ina
gonna pick up my kid one hour early. i'm so nice.
All i need is the monthly bote for 100% collection now 
yeah, good luck with that
there will probably be another banner or rate up before that happens

or another kai
it's always like that
they should just exclude monthly ships until the day they're actually obtainable
hmm
i got home at 7:30pm and woke up at 7am
i dont think thats good
i also forgot to do all my dailies on AL
fking oof
no u
Cute! 


Alright, how much blood do I need to sacrifice in order to get Yukikaze to appear.
Friendship ended with Kizuna Ai, now Hololive girls are my best friends.


hololive is old news already tho
be rando
burn money on every chance
cri cri bout no money
still 50000k$ in credit card

Inb4 kizuna rerun and he gets the ships he wants
why rerun garbo collab
For spite
i gotta agree though
theres no quality in hololive
some of the clips ive seen are funny, but they arent engaging
even the girls from nijisanji are more engaging, heck hinata has a more engaging character, imo anyways
I don't generally see the appeal behind VTubers
There's so many of them now I feel like...it'd a bit of a chore to check everyone and see which one seems most interesting.
that too
I only really knew about Kizuna
and then given a couple of months, there's suddenly dozens more
I don't get it either.
Same with vocaloid.
tbh, i only really watch a few when im bored, like roa or kizuna's old videos. Hinata is funny, and i like himehina stuff, they're music is pretty good
i mean, i guess the music is really the biggest thing for me
Apparently a lot of them are real people just using OCs/designed characters for Youtubing instead of themselves.
thats literally what it is
But at that point, I'd be more interested in watching the real person's streams
and not their OC/VTuber design
i mean, kizuna started the whole "im not a real person" schtick
I guess it's for people who just prefer looking at anime girls.
everyone else was just like "imma do that too"
Fair nuff, I guess.
Besides, the content I watch on YT generally wouldn't work for VTubing
which is like cooking channels/outdoor survival stuff
That and the Kiwami Japan knife guy
I didn't even know Hololive existed until I'm Scatman just out of nowhere appears on my recommended
And then the event drops and I'm having a brain melt
oof.

this is gonna sound a bit fked up

but the general audience for vtubers i feel are generally geared towards younger audiences and very lonely male viewers
Sometimes I just get bored of watching regular people.
yea, i mostly use youtube for music while im at work, a couple rocket league videos here and there and like i said, the occasional v-tuber video. youtube is just so bad with ads now too that its really a chore to want to watch anything. Oh and i also watch a few channels like smarter every day, and vsauce2, try to learn a little too now that im out of school
I gotta mix it up.
I only watch sophisticated, intellectual entertainment, like Kreal.
Who?
I watch game movie reviews, let’s plays, horror content, and educational videos.
Cal listens to my podcasts on the daily
no
i can proudly say he is my #1 and only viewer

We're going with pure gameplay with this one, pure alligator gameplay. We're gonna see what makes these reptiles tick and hopefully learn a good lesson about...
I see.
it's 200 IQ entertainment
oof
they dont block anything but lewd shit at wokr
i also work with mostly 21-30 yoold employees lol
so everyones on some sort of media
I only watch the most reddit approved anime
Like Cory in the House.
And spongebob.
its better than a 30 min quick finisher comm
i have almost 1000 qf
QF's are hard to run out of unless you spam Light
but then you'll run out cubes faster than QFs anyways
i mean, even spamming event builds i still end up net-positive with qf each day
oh, those
i mean, if you dont need any of the resources from it then ya
but the 30 min equipment ones are prob still worth it
rip

^


+1 to peer pressure


@last kiln wehl even for the most simplest thingsa

Anyways, this is probably too much for the "pure" Inaba.
i am pure!
yeah, ina is boring pure
Oh boy it's that time again.

Listen to Pink Floyd while contemplating my existence.
boring but pure is good 
I bet you're into handholding.

everybody knows i like that stuff. that's why i sometimes get them as gifts
