signalnoise posted:I dunno how to say this in a way that doesn't sound condescending but the fact is that bodily functions can differ depending on the body, and it can be stuff that people have no control over, or don't know the cause of so they don't know how to avoid the problems. For example, sometimes I get abdominal migraines and when that happens, I can expect to spend a significant amount of time on the can. Some people just have megadiarrhea or whatever and just want something to occupy their mind while their butt dry heaves. It's not great to think about, but it's also not something I'd go trying to shame people for. I dunno what Caesar Saladin is imagining I'm doing with my phone or which bathrooms I'm using but from the posting it reads like the expectation is I'm pulling out a phone for 30 minutes to play a game while taking a poo poo in a subway station's public stalls. I could be wrong, but if that was the intent, then lol and lmao Lol “don’t poop shame me, I have a made up condition”

I was gifted a Doom II strategy guide that talked about four player co-op and how everyone needed to practice rhythmic keypresses to stay in formation and how to move in a fighting diamond and quickly transition to echelon left or right and how to avoid overlapping fields of fire and all kinds of other pseudo military bullshit in the game about spraying lead absolutely everywhere while high as gently caress and listening to music that AC/DC could sue over if they really wanted to. I think they just didn't have enough material for a full book after the level maps and walkthroughs so they just told the author to stretch it to 250 pages or whatever, just get it done. And then gave him no help or even feedback after he was finished. William Henry Hairytaint fucked around with this message at 04:47 on Jan 2, 2022 |

I have a gamepro streetfighter 2 strategy guide with the ugliest character drawings in the world (still all better than the main character in SMTV), like they're just weird. I'm gonna see if I can find an example. Can't. Oh well, here's some of the cover.

Doom 3 was revolutionary at the time from basically every perspective and I remember having this big issue of some game magazine that was fully dedicated to Doom 3 and the technology/art behind it and I read it so much it fell apart

I'm suddenly reminded of the notorious Brady Games Official FFXI (that's XI, not IX) Strategy Guide. Not only was the information it contained already largely out of date by the time the game was released in NA (and destined to only grow more so, what with the game being an MMO that receives a constant flow up updates, balance changes, and expansions), but a lot of it wasn't even correct at the time it was written. Most MMOs can't be fully played/experienced without a huge time investment, and FFXI was a particularly demanding game in this regard. Thus there was no possible way the guide could have been written from a place of real experience, so it presented players with hilariously noobish advice, which ended up creating a scourge of new players who proudly used Red Mage as their subjob for Monk and then argued about it with people who tried to tell them that there were much more effective options. "Brady Games noob" eventually became used as a pejorative by the community.

Now a days they sell art books or you can just copy paste the jpegs from online. Hell even fanart can be actually high quality these days. But it was mind blowing to see like, Amano’s art in an FF guide or a bunch of “high quality” cg renders in the Starfox 64 guide back when the only thing you could see was boxart (which America always ruined) and your friends terrible scribbles on a piece of college ruled he made in math class.
