PSA Gentlemen.  Stay away from crazy women. Even if she chases you for blocks, in NY, at night, in heels, through traffic, she's terrified of you, and YOU, not her, will catch a case 👀

Every time I hear that, I think of my brother's personalized plate from back in the day. NGGA PLZ. Yes the DMV didn't catch that for nearly a year. 🤣

I'm just tired of DEI. Let's call it what it is. DEI just Divides, Excludes, and Incites turmoil. They've made things worse with their nonsense. Too many openly racist and/or mistandrist people that never get called on their bullshit by the people they work for. I'm tired of the vitriol they generate for no real pay off.  Take the money allocated to them and give it to the developers. Stop laying devs off and paying people that add nothing to the industry.

@-PVL93-The Dreamcast was doomed before it even released. Sega pissed off US Retailers and publishers with the early Saturn launch. This made it hard for Sega to get stores to even carry the Dreamcast at US launch. This was mirrored in Japan but for different reasons. Japanese Retailers and Developers were pissed at Sega for killing the Saturn early because it was a very successful system in Japan.

True about the originality of the "Final Boss" term (although still not as overplayed as "Best in the World"), but the timing of the shirt's release does seem very sus, especially since it was shortly after The Rock started addressing himself as "The Final Boss". Which is kinda par for the course in AEW Land recently, as they seem to be pretty reactionary to a lot of things happening across the street. Take a look at CM Punk's most recent interview with Ariel Helwani (trashing AEW, Tony Khan, and the All In incident). Now TK has Edge cutting promos about how swell the environment is in AEW and now they're having the Young Bucks release video footage of the All In incident with Punk and Perry. LOL VEEEEY petty people

That shirt dropped in January. That logic makes no sense man. Wrestling fans are just as bad as Democrats and Republicans. Tribalism at it's finest. The CM Punk/Tony Khan situation is something to actually talk about. That's a real story with a lot of meat on the bone. Yet people are talking about 3 month old Samoa Joe T-Shirt as a rip off something The Rock said 2 months after Joe's shirt released. Samoa Joe wasn't even the first AEW wrestler with a Final Boss T-shirt. It's just stupid. Miro had the shirt 3 years ago. Like why is this even a thing at all?

As Saturn boy in late 90s remember "yeah, but 2D games are better on our console" was essentially our life mantra

The Saturn is a perfect encapsulation of Sega as a company. It symbolizes it's mismanagenent perfectly as well as highlights the talent of it's development teams to make quality software in sprite of it. Sega was one of the pioneers of 3D gaming. Despite having numerous 3D arcade hits. They didn't build the Saturn with 3D in mind at all initially. It was only when they got wind of the PS1 did they altered course. It's why the Saturn is so complicated of an architecture. 2 CPUs, 1 Co-Processor, 2 GPUs, 2 Sound Chips, and another chip just for the CD-ROM. If Sega of Japan had just swallowed their undeserved pride and listened to Sega of America more specifically Tom Kalinske, they'd probably still be in the hardware business....but that's whole other post in and of itself.

Now just imagine how my kid self felt when I turned on the PS1 version and realized I couldn't tag out.

 

That shyt was X-Men Vs Street Fighter: Street Fighter Edition (Rounds)

 

You could still do Team Hyper Combos but your first character stayed in.

 

I tried to find so many ways around it before I threw in the towel. 

My go to memory involving the console version of X-Men vs Street Fighter was when I pulled out my Saturn the first day of college in 98' and my dormmate started talking shit about it. I said nothing. I pulled out my two arcade sticks. His friends thought that was cool. I popped in my copy of X-Men Vs. Street Fighter.

Dormmate: "You can tag in that version? Can I play man?" 

Darc Requiem: "Nah man, Saturn's trash. Playstation better. Why don't you play the Playstaton version?"

Darc Requiem: turns to his friends  "Any of you wanna play?"

I eventually let him play but after letting all of his friends play first. I'll always remember that though. The look his face was priceless. 🤣

Dunno if the AEW merchandising department is tone deaf or trying to be cute, but cmon now LOL

I don't play super close attention to wrestling but this shirt isn't new. It's been out for months. I didn't even get why this was thing at first. I guess Rock said "Final Boss" recently and people think it's a rip off of that. This whole thing comes off as wrestling fans looking for shit to bitch about. "Final Boss" is generic.  I know Miro had "Final Boss" shirt in AEW years ago. Now if someone is using something specific like "The Excellence of Execution" then by all means give em' hell. There is always wild shit going in Pro Wrestling no need to invent shit to get mad about.

Kinda funny how PSone was chuck full of various 3d titles but would have slowdown in a sprite based 2d fighting game of all things

Not really the PS1 hardware was built around 3D rendering and it had less RAM than the Saturn by default. That gap only widened with the RAM cart.

Did you play DD1? I'm just curious since almost everyone who played DD1 had to get over those same growing pains back in the day so it's kinda funny seeing people say the same again. 

Yeah I played DD1.  I didn't finish it though. I played it for like 12 hours. I rebought it on PC a while ago and never picked it back up.

Dragon's Dogma 2-- I'm loving it as much as the first one... my crew ran into some group of bandits that also had a mage or sorcerer....the others took the regular bandits and I crushed that fraud mage easily....she had no chance.  There's a certain satisfaction when seeing my ice spell launch the victim up in the air.  I think they take an extra bit of damage when hitting the ground too....then of course follow up with lightning while they're down.  I always like adding that extra bit of insult to injury by throwing the corpse somewhere as well.  I threw her into some ruined abandoned building.  "Dookor the Foul" sorcerer is up to level 15 now.

 

ooh, in reviewing a clip from recently, I just noticed one of the pawns picked up a block of the ice (after it shattered) I conjured up and threw it at an ogre.  Little details like that help make the greatness this has going on.

I only have about an hour into it. Seems solid thus far. I really like the character creator. Too bad you can only have one character.

@iStu X: "Man I really can't wait to finish this game. I've been fighting this boss forever."

Stu's cat:

Man what the heck is this? How does anyone fail with this grading scale?

For reference, this was the grading scale when I was in school.

A = 94-100

B = 87-93

C = 79-86

D = 70-78

F = 69 & Below

Kids getting a B with a 64 and I would have gotten F.....what the actual fuck.

Disappointingly the new SaGa game sucks. I’ve been messing around with the demo and just…ugh.
 

Saying it was made with a shoe string budget with a skeleton crew feels like I’m being optimistic. It’s so bad. 

Ugh....sounds like a redux of what happened to Star Ocean. The remasters have been good but unfortunately the same can't be said for the new entries into the series.

LOL this has to be the worst fucking poll of all time in regards to iconic video game characters.  I won't even spoil any of it so you all can facepalm at this list.

 

https://www.bafta.org/media-centre/press-releases/bafta-most-iconic-character-poll-results

Oh those lovable Brits. Can't imagine why the top character is British and created originally by a British development studio. It is pure complete coincedence I assure you. 🤣

Damn Israel already threw a few soldiers under the bus for their "accidental" killing of the WCK aid workers. All it took was actual threats of consequence from Western allies for this to happen. 34,000 dead Palestinian civlilans? Crickets. 6* Dead Foreign Aid workers from NATO allies? Actual threats of policy change and threats of aid with conditions. Once again proving it's not how many you kill but who you kill. That said, I have NEVER seen the disparity be this high.

*7 people were killed does anyone actually believe Israel cares about a dead Palestinian? 

Bruh this video title, which technically is true, is hilarious. 😂

Ugh no embedding but comic on our fave hot topic Stellar Blade

https://twitter.com/kukuruyo/status/1775880361953599508

I couldn't get the link to work at first. While I can't get the embed to work, I think this link will work better.

Edit: Okay this is weird. Man, it's like the either link doesn't work. I think you have to be logged in to Twitter/X to see it.

Terrible that his happened to him, but all the respect in the world for speaking up about it. Dudes have no real place to go when they are victims of this type of thing.

Get the UMvC3 mod scene on it. They can just go full Thanos do it themselves. 

@RSG3I'm gonna keep it 100 with you. I find your stance on this to be completely ridiculous. So much so that  I see no point in engaging you this. Your interview stance is just patently absurd. Everyone should just drop press releases with FAQs.
