Are those fees related to the platform tip or are they something else?

Thanks for this write-up! It was a very interesting read and actually makes me want to try out the series now (especially P3 and p4).

Love that piece of sountrack you shared! Such a nice and melancholic melody!

I have the remake (The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition) in my Steam backlog. I've been meaning to play it for a while, but it seems like a game that will require my full focus to not forget the story / puzzles. Once some of the games I'm currently playing are finished, I might give it a go. Also seems like a fun game to play during the winter times, so maybe I'll get around to it in a few months.

I absolutely love this retrospective video about the series by youtuber Ahoy: RetroAhoy: The Secret of Monkey Island. I highly recommend it!

What are you trying to achieve here, "triggering" people? It just registers as infantile to me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

My favorite is honestly my PS5. The load times are fantastic and I love the feel of the controller and the rumble / adaptive triggers. I also fucking loved my PS Vita, to bad it had such a mediocre run games wise.

Worst is pretty harsh, as I have loved all my consoles. But there's no denying that the PSP was a bit garbage with its single analog stick (which was also very hard to use).

Also, I made the picture for this post myself from the different Wikipedia entries using GIMP. It was quite a headache 😅.

I personally have almost zero experience with this generation, though I realize it's historic value. So many great game franchise originated here: Super Mario, Metroid, Final Fantasy, Castlevania, Zelda, Metal Gear, Mega Man, Mother...

I'll give a shout-out to Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, which I got to know by watching a YouTube video on the world record history for this game. I then played some of it myself on my Switch and was actually quite impressed with the almost puzzle like gameplay!

I also played Super Mario Bros. While I respect it for being the first, I thought it was quite ridiculous at times (the way to progress in the final world was so stupid).

Still have to sink my teeth in the others!

Based on a recommendation I received, we'll change things up by actually not discussing a game or series like in earlier posts...

Sadly I am feeling horribly ill right now, as I have Covid for the 3rd time in my life. Nothing serious, but just feeling like shit for the third day in a row. This made me think back to a game that released at the perfect time during the pandemic (the one that isn't Among Us).

I just want to bump this as this is one of the funniest films I've seen in my life. Try and watch it with others who appreciate surreal weird films. Absolutely sublime.

Metal Gear Solid is one of my favorite games of all time, followed closely by 2 and 3. It really is an incredibly timeless piece of art in my opinion, just filled to the brim with incredible moments.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. With siphoning money, I mean not giving actual value in return. The NFT market was a clear example of this: get some hype going, sell the promise of great gains on your investment, once the ball gets rolling make sure you're out before they realise it's actually worth nothing. In the end, some smart and cunning people sucked a lot of money from often poor and misinformed small investors.

I think I have an inherent idea of value, as in: the value it has in a human life and the amount of effort needed to produce it. This has become very detached from economical value, as there you can have speculation, pumping value and all that other crap. I think that's what frustrates me about the current financial climate: I just want to be able to pay the people who helped produce the product I buy fairly with respect to how much time and work they put it. Currently however, so much money is being transferred to people "just for having money". The idea that money in and of itself can make more money is such a horrible perversion of the original idea of trade...

Your last paragraph is not how money should work at all. Money should represent value that ideally doesn't change, so that the money I receive for selling a can is worth a can, not a Lambo an not a grain of sand. What your describing is closer to speculation and pyramid schemes (NFTs for example).

Either try and explain to me how BTC could be an ideal currency that fixes the problems in existing currency, or try to explain me how it's really cool as an investment thing to siphon money from others, but don't try and do both at the same time.
