LawfulWaffle: Mar 11, 2014; Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.

It's one of those puzzle games with such a clear and clever concept that could have easily become a thing but just didn't for some reason. It could've been the next Picross or Pushmo.

I assume I'm not alone in playing the hell out of the demo and never buying it though.

I also played the demo tons but never shelled out for a pure puzzle game for the PSX. Shame, I could see it taking over my brain with patterns like Lumines did/does

Streamed the end of sekiro earlier -- just the last boss. I was having a hell of a time with him last night and figured it'd be a decent stream to watch me bash my face against it for a while and I ended up beating it in like 5 attempts. Sekiro is a great game, probably my favorite From game (admittedly I bounced off of Bloodborne because of the framerate and I think it'd be pretty high for me too), and has so many beautiful sights to see. Excited for VG to play it soon enough :devil:

Allegedly the prototype was called the Playstation X. Here's another. Why is the Gamecube abbreviated to GCN

Seems to line up with their other products like the ESN, the SESN, the GBN or the DSN.

The french GCN slogan in Canada was apparently "encubez-vous" which technically reads as "get cubed" but the verb is made up and exactly one letter away from a rather forward sexual suggestion.

That's a good one, except for the interminable slowness. Probably the one most likely to receive a low-effort remaster that just updates graphics and QoL and makes no gameplay changes
