Basically I'd do what Richard Garriott does because Richard Garriott owns, gently caress the haters. That guy is just happy as can be and uses his money to do stuff he thinks is cool like picking up old artifacts or building neat mansions or going to space, and afaik Richard Garriott isn't an rear end in a top hat so he's like the anti-notch

Garriott is basically running a scam like Star Citizen only less successfully in terms of crowdfunding so

I thought Garriott always made products, it seems a bit of a stretch to compare that to the star citizen dev team that takes in money and likely isn't going to ever have any kind of output.

I guess whatever Shroud of the Avatar ends up being after they poo poo it out in a few months will be better than Star Citizen, but that is a real low bar.

I guess a better comparison would be Spacebase DF-9 where they just went from alpha to release because lol whoops funds ran out.

I mean wrt the unhealthy lifestyle/body thing you could literally pay a six-figure salary to a full-time chef to cook you multiple healthy, delicious meals per day

being a millionaire or narrowly part of the 1% or w/e is one thing, having notch money or trump money or w/e is totally different and I've always thought it was baffling how mundane or sad some of their lives seem to be (almsot as if there's a lesson here about what kind of person becomes uber rich and something something money and love)

I can't understand having that kind of money and spending all day shitposting on twitter instead of flying to a different tropical location every week and partying your rear end off

Richard Garriott once threw a Titanic themed boat party where at the end of the party the boat was sunk by another boat decorated to look like an iceberg, and everyone had to swim to shore.

I've seen a number of reviews of the new Crash game that dock it points for being exactly what was promised, an HD update of a 20 year old series. It's a good reminder that video game review scores mean nothing.

It is the future and F-Zero GX somehow gets a perfect remaster on the Switch.

It proceeds to get "7"'s for being too hard.

It sounds fun but keep in mind it's still a score attack focused thing rather than a pure mega man deal

It's more of a full game than the original Mighty Gunvolt was at the very least and carries a lot of improvements such as infinite lives and being able to customize skills for your character. It's got the same bosses from Mighty No. 9 but their patterns, attacks, and stage layouts are different and, you know, it's actually fun to play. I'd recommend giving it a shot to be honest (though I still would have perferred a Gunvolt 3, maybe someday though).

I'm like 5 missions into Peace Walker. This is exactly what I needed.

I loved MGSV, but what I really missed about the older ones is how short and straightforward they were. Yeah it's cool to have this big giant long game, but I can sit down and play Snake Eater in an evening or two.

Also, it helps that I already played V, since most of the stuff that would otherwise be complicated/daunting is much simpler rhan it was in V.

I haven't died yet, although I came really close during the first "boss".

I wish I hadn't watched basically all the cutscenes when I was getting ready for MGSV. I don't remember all the details, though.

I'm also one of the few people who doesn't mind Hayter's Big Boss voice that he used in Portable Ops and Peace Walker.

Coco is fun to play as, she's got good animations. They definitely put effort into implementing her.



She also gives a similar look of disdain. Like jesus I'm sorry it's a hard game okay!
