I was watching simpsons at 0.75 without knowing until a scene where homer and bart were getting back massages at a hotel and the noises they were making were super drawn out like a youtube poop


Precisely the song that had been playing in my head since genesis music chat started yesterday well done

edit - hell yeah my bird started making noise to the song. he's been depressed cause his friend passed away a few days ago.

Nah Invictus, the snes soundchop was a low grade sampler. It may have been a first, but it didn't even make its own sounds. Cool reverb and delay fx on it.
Nobody is making synths out of the shitties vg samplers.
The chip from the megadrive, however

Dunno if they ever updated it after the ending, but man that game is good and looks great for that style. Love to mow down some screen filling masses of giant roaches

the usual thing after you've launched your first rocket is to work towards the endless techs and build a megabase. for example you might want to hit 1k science per minute

there's also a lot of mods so that adds replayability too

and on top of that they're working on an expansion pack next year where you can go to other planets after you launch the rocket, also adds new mechanics and stuff.

snes had the better soundchip imo. one of my favorite tracks is from a game most people have never heard of, which is insane considering the pedigree. A mecha platformer in the vein of cybernator, developed by LucasArts and published by Konami, METAL WARRIORS:

its rly not that bad, theres only really pressure from the bugs and you can just play the game with them as static/non-aggressive or entirely off if u want.

Factorio seems to be extremely my poo poo but I got a brain problem whenever I play building games that I restart over and over because I don't think things "look" right so I start from scratch until I find a layout that doesn't upset me, probably like 3/4 of my hours in dwarf fortress are doing that

i also do that but factorio lets you customize your starting layout if you just want immediate easy access to the basic resources

don't restart! you have infinite space, if you don't like how you did something you can move over and build a new way of doing it. this way you can let the old base keep producing raw materials for you to use when building the new one

minecraft suffers because while you can get to an endgame where you are manipulating the mechanics of the game to get whatever resources you want and even can actually break the code from within the game, you still have to place each block or equivalent (excepting ones that fall) individually and that's tedious. Also the inventory management sux even with shadowtech.

I'm running into the same thing after not playing for a long time, at least most of the basics seem the same. My kid keeps finding & watching minecraft videos so he asks me to play it, unimpressed to learn that I've had a copy for something like 13 years. I assume however, that after showing him Mario Wonder yesterday, he'll ask me to play that with him instead.
