yeah just give me some botw2 footage and a smash character that isn't totally stupid and i'll be content basically

for smash, i'm betting we're gonna see a bandicoot, which won't be the hypest thing in the world (for me at least), but it would certainly beat another anime sword waifu

Here's every N64 game I may never own, unless I get lucky or bite the bullet on their price.

- The holy grail of the system is ClayFighter: Sculptor's Cut, but it's just an updated version of a game I already possess, so if I never get to have it, it's no skin off my back.

- Super Bowling, Stunt Racer 64, PGA European Tour, and NFL Blitz Special Edition are all just sports game that I can probably live without, as well, but I actually really want to get Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 for the simple reason that it was the last game made for the system. I can see myself biting the bullet on this one; it's pricey, but not absurdly so.

- Sometimes, there's an unfortunate situation where the ONLY reason a game is considered rare or valuable is because it was released at the tail-end of a system's life cycle. Bomberman 64: The Second Attack is probably the most egregious example of this, especially because it's part of a big name franchise, and it was never re-released; paying $250 for a loose copy is your only legal option. It's not even good, apparently.

- Games like Worms: Armageddon and Transformers: Beast Wars Transmetals may be expensive to get on the N64, but at least they happen to be available for cheaper on other platforms, such as the PlayStation.

- Ogre Battle 64 and Harvest Moon 64 are both available as Virtual Console titles on the Wii U's e-shop, so I'll probably just end up picking them up on that platform.

- Snowboard Kids 2, Chameleon Twist 2, and the two Goemon games are the ones that hurt me the most. They're all considered great games, and none of them are available on anything else. For these ones, I'll just have to cross my fingers that Nintendo Switch Online will have add N64 games some day.

- Strangely enough, if I were to hold out for digital re-releases for all the games I want the most on this chart, the most logical game to physical purchase on this chart would end up being Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine and Duck Dodgers, because these are never getting re-released.

- Starcraft 64 would be such a cool game to pick up, and I'm still kicking myself for passing it up that one time I actually saw it on a shelf (it would've sent me way over budget, but still).

- I recently beat Earthworm Jim 1 and 2, so Earthworm Jim 3D would be the next game in the series for me, I suppose. But the original creators apparently have nothing to do with this game, and it got bad reviews because the charm was lost, or something. It would be a fun novelty, at the very least.

- Daikatana is an infamously bad game by John Romero, and it's kind of a meme. I might bite the bullet some day.

Picked up some N64 today—nothing I would call noteworthy (except Rampage: World Tour, maybe), but enough to bring me down to less than 70 games to collect, 33 of which are in the sports/racing category.

I feel so close, but so far. Prices are getting fucking ludicrously insane. I found a loose copy of PGA European Tour—a basic fucking golf game—and they were asking $70 for it. Once I get Banjo-Tooie, if there's seriously nothing else to collect but sports games that go beyond the MSRP for a modern day PS5 game, I'll probably just consider my collection to be "ghetto complete" for my own sake.

I just find it weirdly exploitative even though its a drawing

But anyways
I don't watch much (or any) anime actually so I can't really say
Of what I have watched, I would say slice of life comedies are my favorite
It makes me feel like I'm laying back and chilling with the lads

alphy's got you covered then, all i like is edgy psychological shit

Fanservice is the worst thing to ever be invented
Why would you do that to your own characters?

yeah, it's a pretty fucking shit trope, and a big reason why i couldn't get into anime for the longest time

but in the show that i suggested, while the fanservice is incredibly over the top, it's possible to watch the show as a satire (or even a critique of) the male psyche, which tends to enhance the humor a great deal—at least for me, because the show is basically making fun of how the average hormonal numskull guy sees women, and that's funny to me, in a "let's all laugh at this idiot" kind of way, or a "why do guys have to be like this" kind of way

i can totally understand being unable to tolerate it, but it's also going to make the vast majority of anime almost unwatchable if you can't let a little bit of it slide

what are your favorite anime/what are you generally into

OFFICIAL LIST OF CERTIFIED FRESH ANIME:

- Dragonball Super
- Attack on Titan
- My Hero Academia

not only are you a weeb now, you're also the most basic possible weeb

how does it feel, wormdick

Well the goals I have are kinda in conflict. On one hand I want to improve the world, ease suffering, etc. On the other hand, I really don't want to do anything at all. I naturally crave the loser lifestyle and would be happy living in a one bedroom apartment working as a delivery driver. I feel most fulfilled when I am helping others but doing things for others just drains me emotionally for some reason. The things that make me happy make me feel dead inside at the same time. So going towards one end would lead me further from the other. Either way, I just feel exhausted and not at peace with myself at all

Now that I'm out of school, I feel like I have to decide who I have to be. I wonder if I'll ever find anything that will make me happy without make me feel like a piece of shit at the same time. I don't know if this even makes sense but I feel like I'm spinning my wheels in place

i guess we're more alike than i thought

Been hitting my backlog pretty hard lately. I'm trying to focus on 1995 games, but because I have a couple friends playing through that remake of Nier that came out recently, I figured I'd start playing that as well. Not the remake, though—I've owned the original on PS3 for a while now, and I've never been keen on remakes in general, so I wasn't gonna fork over $60 for a game I basically already own.

Besides the music, it's honestly pretty fucking shit so far—the combat is brain-dead and the gameplay loop seems fairly monotonous—but I've been advised to keep going in spite of that, so whatever.

For the 1995 project, my current favorite game from that year would have to be Yoshi's Island, so the project is essentially about finding a game I happen to like more than that one. I've beaten Comix Zone, DKC2, Eathworm Jim 1 and 2, Vectorman, Street Fighter Alpha, Ristar, Mega Man 1-7, Mega Man X-X3, and a few more all in the past couple months.

Most recently, I just beat KoF95, which only cost me whatever was left of my mental health, and I'm currently playing Real Bout Fatal Fury, Rayman, and the first Klonoa game—which is not a '95 game, but the sequel is one of my favorites of all time, and I've never played the original, so I felt like I owed it to myself to check it out. It's also $5 on PSN vs. the $300 I would be spending on it, given that it's currently the single most valuable PS1 game on the market.

I really want Vebatim to post ITT.

well, if you insist

i don't have a lot to say, though, because i'm willing to bet that i've probably changed the least out of anybody still using this website

i joined this forum during my first semester of college, and after seven grueling years, i can finally expect to get my worthless degree by august, whereupon i can spend the rest of my days worrying about how i'm going to pay the government back for the stupidest decision i've made in my life

i haven't really changed any of my beliefs over the past seven years, and if anything, i've only doubled, tripled, or quadrupled down on the majority of them (because the world only continues to prove just how right i am about fucking everything—and yeah, my bitterness has also increased tenfold)

if anything about me has changed, i'd say i've gotten a little bit better at communicating with people; i find it much easier to express myself in ways that regular people will actually understand now, and i also find myself a lot more tolerant of people's bullshit in general—but at the core, i'm still a pretty angry and spiteful person who doesn't enjoy life very much, because as anyone could plainly see, there's really not a whole lot to enjoy

If you're not feeling post nut clarity something is wrong.

I still dont understand what this clarity is or is supposed to be

It's apparently more noticeable for people who get addicted to porn and end up watching more extreme/odd content to fit the bill. The clarity part hits and makes people suddenly feel disgusted with what they just watched, or shows up in some other form such as depression coming back to fill the void from the high of masturbation.

personally, i've cut down to watching porn maybe once a month, and what i watch is extremely vanilla by internet standards, and i still get "post-nut clarity"

there's actually a much older french term for the phenomenon: la petite mort, which literally translates to "a little death"—it's like the brain is distressed that it allowed itself to be overcome by carnal desire once again

the fact that casper doesn't understand it also leads me to think the phenomenon may be linked with intelligence

all things considered, i'm doing okay

despite a huge spike in covid cases in my area, i was able to get vaccinated last week, but my second dose is still pending

I'm pretty sure you can make a rom from a copy you already own

i just don't know why you would do this, unless you suffer from "PC master race" brainrot to such a degree that the mere thought of playing a game on its intended console makes you want to vomit, or something

best justification i can think of would be a speedrunner who wants to use emulator tools for the sake of practice

cool, where can majora's mask be legally purchased on my PC and when did nintendo greenlight this

Buy a copy on ebay and then it's completely legal to own a copy of the ROM.  Ta-da!

There is no-where you can buy Majora's Mask and have it contribute money to Nintendo's bank account.

that's a commonly circulated meme, but unfortunately, not how it actually works—you could argue from an ethical standpoint that it's okay to do it that way, and i wouldn't be able to argue with you, but there's no law that says "it's okay to steal something if you already own one copy of it"—you could have a million apples, and it still wouldn't be okay to steal one more apple (if anything, that only makes it worse, because why would you need one more apple at that point)

majora's mask is currently purchasable on the Wii U's e-shop, so that would be your one option as far as supporting the developer goes (not that flea markets aren't worthy of monetary support—they are, and piracy hurts them, too)

but if we're talking about a game that genuinely isn't available to be purchased anywhere, then that's kinda tough shit from a legal standpoint—i don't like it either, especially for the sake of preservation, but that's the way it is

not that i'm saying you should care about any of this—you can do whatever you want—i just personally find it a little disingenuous and irresponsible to argue that PC lets you play "all games" when you essentially have to steal in order for that to be true—and if stealing is okay, why isn't the same true for consoles? because it's harder to get away with? you wouldn't steal physical copies of games if you could get away with it, would you?

all you really needed to say was "steam" and you would've had a solid foundation, even if the majority of games available on steam are also available on console
