Kurieg posted:Sort of. The issue is, in part, that Sega of Japan told SoA's then president Tom Kalinske to do whatever he felt necessary to ensure Sega succeeded in America, he was the guy who encouraged the price drop, bundling in Sonic, the nintendo attack ads, and the "SEGA!" scream from the commercials. He also, apparently, was in favor of the 32X, since he believed it would have better push through in the US and Europe and didn't like the chip architecture they were planning on using for the Saturn and encouraged them to get in touch with SGI. SOJ refused and eventually SGI signed on with Nintendo for the n64. Then they undercut him by forcing him to release the system early to try and "Beat" The Playstation, but they didn't have the games to compete yet, and the way they stealth distributed the Saturn in america made a lot of stores refuse to carry the system at all. Then Sega shuttered development of the Neptune (A Genesis with the 32X built in) in favor of the Saturn, and things spiraled down from there. Well, if you deliberately sabotage the gently caress out of it because you don't like the fact that the ideas came from a gaijin, it isn't.

SSNeoman posted:So fun fact about alcohol and cough syrup, you gotta use the old school cough syrup, which is quasi-legal to sell nowadays since it has a mild opioid called codeine in it. You know that song "Like a G6"? Where they talk about drinking sizzurp? That's alcohol and the cough syrup mix. Okay, you're not completely wrong here but you're not quite there either, and anyone following your advice to try lean is gonna seriously hurt themselves. I'm from Houston, which was pretty much lean city when lean was a thing, so I can correct you a bit on this one. Nobody, literally nobody, mixes it with alcohol. Because this is an insanely dumb idea and even absolute morons know you don't mix downers with other downers. Instead, it's usually mixed with Sprite to hide the taste, because codeine gives you a pretty nice high on its own if you're not already an opioid user and most drug users don't actively want to die. (Also, regarding why Toy Story got TT the 3D Blast job: it was likely less because Toy Story was any great shakes on the Genesis, and more because they successfully did DKC-style prerendered graphics on the Genesis in it.)

Honestly I thought both Toy Story and 3D Blast were alright games when I had them as a kid, but I haven't really revisited either for long enough to get a feel for them as an adult.
