that's not so much an argument in favor of voice acting as it is proof that you should shop around for a good foley engineer

How about games just not have plot ever? Yeah that's the ticket it just gets in the way anyway! Duck and Cover fucked around with this message at 02:41 on Jan 3, 2020 |

Fat Larry from Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines justifies voice acting. That game is also deep art.

Pandora's Box is the super illegal chinese thing isn't it? Theyve got cabinets all over tier 3 cities in china with every mame compatable game in them. The most insane are the single player genesis titles I saw rigged up once that charged you per 99 seconds of play.

The 1up cabinets also have the original art from whichever included game had the coolest designs. Its not the most money:game ratio you’ll get for arcade stuff but I like mine. I just wish there were more volume controls than “Mute->loud->REALLY GOD drat LOUD”.

also uh that thing doesn’t include a screen so no, there is no way that that would even be the same price, even disregarding the cost of things like “the use of your free time building it”

Madeline from Celeste is insufferable. Despite the entire game being about her finding the inner strength to overcome challenges, I just feel like I did everything for her because she is too precious and whiny to do anything herself.

Despite the entire game being about her finding the inner strength to overcome challenges, I just feel like I did everything for her because she is too precious and whiny to do anything herself. The story of Celeste is very bad and for some reason requires me to push a button multiple times to get through its cutscenes instead of a single "skip all this garbage" press, or ideally something in the options. Also the wind level is trash and the stage that ends in a "boss fight" against your evil half that boss fight had the only deaths in the run that were pure blind chance so it soured me a little.

I once got a huge folder of Genesis games that had a random hentai picture collection in it (all vanilla iirc), doesn't sound too surprising that a Newgrounds-tier porn game ended up in a low-effort collection.

There's a lot of MAME roms of porno games, it's usually like Qix clones. The MAME rom pack on internetarchive had a reasonable amount of them.

tokyo expressway in gran turismo (sport is the one I'm playing right now) is a beautiful track but also one of the worst to play. it has guardrails on the sides instead of sand run-off, so you can just ride the rails instead of having to brake for corners. it's too narrow, the corners aren't very fun, and the game (in sport through missions and the gt league) keeps throwing it at me like I'm going to enjoy it. it's particularly bad when you have to do it with a very fast car (i.e. gr. 3, so porsche 911 racing cars and faster) -- it's at least more tolerable with slower road cars that have a harder time going fast through the corners. I hate it and I don't want to play it anymore. give me spa francorchamps or interlagos any day over it.

It's quite a simple concept to grasp that with a lot of purchases, part of the value of the purchase goes towards the labour involved in its creation. DIY alternatives allow you to bypass this cost, but all you're doing is spending your time (however much you value that) instead of spending money to pay for work that someone else has done to construct the product, most of the time at a higher quality than the DIY solution... Of course capitalism fucks with the "value" of the product/purchase in loads of additional ways besides the basic labour cost...

Its not a matter of cost. i would spend longer to learn carpentry and hand carve my own cabinet out of the finest rare woods.
