Kojima being the most basic bitch in the world and buying poo poo like the $200 Assassin's Creed box sets is probably his best quality.

I'm through the second level of Resistance and I'm starting to be not impressed. They went from quaint English town to generic alien factory and after playing Quake 4, Prey '06 and Gears I feel like we've pretty much tapped this genre out. This game is giving me absolutely nothing new. Plus the fancy ~*next gen*~ graphics are really ugly. I know it was a meme to bitch about bloom back then but holy poo poo there is way too much loving bloom. And worst of all, the level was set in Grimsby. loving Grimsby!

Just gotta keep walking down that road.
The latest addition to the virtual youtuber scene populated pretty exclusively by young anime girls is a middle-aged balding fat guy who may or may not be played by the famous Japanese voice actor Akio Ōtsuka who played Snake in MGS amongst other things.

Guy did his first ever stream today playing an ancient Chunsoft SNES sound novel from 1992 and immediately got 10,000 viewers and probably at least a couple hundred subscribers on Twitch, enough to surpass almost every other streamer on the site in view count despite no prior content and only speaking Japanese.

In arcade games it's doing things for the score when it's unnecessary for progressing in the level (like jumping over barrels in Donkey Kong)

I don't know virtual youtubers beyond knowing about them, I was just surprised to see a Japanese streamer pop out of nowhere and instantly get 10k viewers on Twitch, only the most popular ones break even 1k most of the time.

It (probably) being the voice actor for Snake and the dub voice actor for people like Denzel Washington, Nicolas Cage and Samuel L. Jackson makes him streaming an obscure-rear end 1992 game in the virtual guise of a fat old guy kind of amazing in its own weird way though.

It’s interesting to me that Japan is embracing playing characters while presenting curated content when internet entertainment was basically built on that foundation until people got lost in their characters and used that to define their entire persona. Dirty Old Man Tanaka seems a lot like Mr. Plinket but I bet they won’t fall progressively deeper down the murder-rapist rabbit hole to keep hammering the point in.

Ok for a moment, from your descriptions, I thought it was an actual AI playing video games for an audience but it’s much more boring than that

I've rolled some characters here and there on the emulated vanilla servers and I usually have a pretty good time reminiscing until I hit Stranglethorn Vale. STV, killing character progress for 15 years.

Don't suppose anyone here can suggest some decent romhacks of games like Fire Emblem or Pokemon on GBA? I know a ton exist but life is short and I'd sooner avoid the stinkers.
Good FE Romhacks:

Void's Blitzarre Adventure is dumb injokey nonsense but the gameplay is good and the injokes don't get in the way of the gameplay generally. And the injokes aren't offensive mostly. It's a challenging game but not bullshit hard and some of the gimmicks are interesting.
Elibian Nights is fanficcy and some of the stories they try to tell don't really work but it has interesting ideas for levels and the core gimmick works well, since it's a series of disconnected levels rather than a continuous story.
FE Midori is solid and is fun if you've played a lot of FE games since it's just full of weird references to earlier ones.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/585180/Open_Sorcery/

Goon-made game titled Open Sorcery, from the maker of the fun short freeware interactive fiction/cyoa game 16 Ways to Kill a Vampire at McDonald's. Open Sorcery is a game where magic and technology both exist. You play as an elemental spirit of fire who has been conjured up and given form as a firewall whose sole purpose is to protect your two creators, a nearby school, and a nearby nursing home. The game takes place over the course of I think 7 days and each day has static events that happen but how you choose to approach those events can and will drastically change the story by giving you new powers or increasing your strength or leading to a variety of different endings. Also I believe the developer is working on a "sequel" to this game (though I don't think it's directly connected to Open Sorcery, just takes place in the same world with the same ideas) and it is called Open Sorcery: Sea++.
