man, I really miss all the Spelunky stuff a lot of folks used to do. it's such a hilarious game. I'm watching a playlist of Friends Without Benefits(specifically, Alpharad and Don) trying to get to and beat hell co-op in spelunky and it's incredible. this moment in particular, when they Buy Grom and the subsequent explanation of why you should Never Buy Grom, I'm literally crying, red in the face, from laughter. the perfectly timed shot of Grom falling from the top of the screen down off the bottom of the screen immediately after they go "Grom is stupid as gently caress" nearly killed me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wuhdj3s-blE&hd=1&t=375s

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJBlWYqVQbQ Jim Sterling hinted at doing a video about how Microsoft is bad in their own way when it comes to microtransactions in video games, but not that he would be this brutal about it. Nonetheless, I kinda have to agree with the title of his video. If anything, he doesn't go far enough back in time. Microsoft wanted people to pay for online access from the very beginning. Additionally, someone in the comment section said that Konami is trying to go back into video games as a result of Japanese regulators coming down harder on gambling. That sounds like gently caress Konami News fodder if there ever was one.

Its pretty disingenuous to specifically describe the confrontation between white diamond and Steven in order to play it down and make it seem less dramatic, though it doesn't negate his criticisms.

That sounds like gently caress Konami News fodder if there ever was one. Konami owns sports clubs and actual gambling machines worldwide. They're not suffering, so they're not exactly trying to get back into gamers' good graces.

Pachinko was a big earner for them in Japan, and that cash cow has been taken out back and shot with the new regulations. Iirc, what actually changed was proper for-money gambling was legalized somewhat, so people don't have to bother with pseudo-gambling like Pachinko anymore. They can go to real slot machines instead.

SNK Playmore went down the same path but came back hard with The King of Fighters XIV and all of their big ACA NeoGeo releases. Konami as a boardroom of olds in suits probably doesn't have a major interest in a big return to consoles, since they indeed have Yu-Gi-Oh in multiple forms (TCG, Duel Links, and console games), their entire music arcade game legacy, Pro Evolution Soccer, and classic compilations and re-releases. Like, the Rondo/SotN PS4 set probably cost 4 figures and a week to put together, and it easily made way more than they put into it. There's no good business reason to make a new AAA Silent Hill or Metal Gear except to cater to people who hate them, so they're not going to do it. I just wish they'd let the Hudson crew out of their basement prison so we can get some more Bomberman titles.

Do you have any other recommendations?

It’s loving Bomberman. The single player sucks, and it’s really annoying everything in multiplayer is locked behind tedious grinds, but every time I load it up everyone has a great time. I bought a loving multi-tap to play Super Bomberman whenever I rented it, so I have a long history with the series.

I’m super nostalgic for the adventure modes from Bomberman 64, Generations, and Jetters and even if they weren’t actually all that great I still miss them

Which was the Bomberman with Pommy, because my friend and I spent what must have been days grinding in that game to get a decent monster buddy. And for all that effort he still goes and hides during boss fights, the little scamp.

Sam Faust posted:Bomberman 64: The Second Attack Thank you. I seem to remember that both of those games had some pretty wild puzzles in them. 64 had all the weird bomb bouncing stuff, and 2nd had all the different element bombs. Also 2nd had a character named Bulzeeb, which I still remember because it's such a weird name.

There’s this attitude I’ll never get from a portion of the fandom where the show about teaching kids empathy and self-love is at some point obligated to “Grow Up” and teach them about how some people are monsters that need to be put down. It’s like wanting Mr Rogers to teach your kids Krav Maga
