Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
Cool, a new monthly chat thread with another dumbass poll. Love it, just crazy about those stupid polls.

Really annoyed with this situation that I've been facing. I've never been able to live a normal life, since I was raised in the streets. So I pretend like I watch all the local sports teams, but all the twitch streams I watch got me spouting memes. I'm a pretty good gamer, in WoW I'm a rare mount tamer, and my guild's discord is my new home. But I'm 33, don't know if I'll make it to 34, I think I'm a slice or two away from stroke. Why are we always so blind to see that the ones we hurt are you and me?

These are great nerdcore lyrics.

I’m embarrassed about this, but last month I asked the thread for recommendations for meaty RPGs on Switch, but I’m having trouble finding the post and the subsequent replies. Um so, what are some meaty RPGs available on Switch?

Octopath doesn’t seem so great, and I already have the Final Fantasies on PC or iPad, what are some other good ones?
Chocobo's Dungeon, and maybe look at Regalia: Of Men and Monarchs.

i guess "born again" is kind of a misnomer because he's always been super into biblical allegories/christianity from the get go, it just seems to have metastasized over the course of the past 20 years.

So hard pass on anything with him involved. I already wasn't interested in this new console, it sounds bad. Intellivision was my first ever game console, i'll hold onto those childhood memories and not have them ruined.

Isn't the Atari thing just a retro 2600 or something? Also I liked Earthworm Jim when I was a kid but I don't know why I would care about it now, especially with Tennapel being lovely and bad.

I used to have a decent sized Intellivision collection that I got on-the-cheap something like ten years ago or so, but had zero nostalgia for it (my first video game experience was the NES in the late '80s). It was an interesting curiosity, but it really did feel like the in-between of an Atari 2600 and a Colecovision. Namely, it was games that looked and played like 2600 games but with terrible controls like the Colecovision. Ended up selling that whole lot a few years ago to an older friend who did have nostalgia for the platform and broke even on that exchange.

Based on that friend and others who were around for that platform, the nostalgia seems limited to hardware and software from that era. The name being used on newer products means absolutely nothing, if Atari is anything to go by.

I hope Rage 2 is fun though if it isn't I probably just keep playing Mortal Kombats along with FFTactics A2 which I just got for my 3DS. Loved the first GBA one so I'm looking forward to playing that on long commutes along with some Castlevanias

I think they did learn with DOOM, or probably more specifically Fallout 76 that people will buy their poo poo day 1 regardless.

Except for Prey but they were pretty timid about revealing what that game was truly about until like a month before release.

About Intellivision Amico: Intellivision Amico, launching October 10, 2020, is a home video game console designed to bring social fun back to the living room. Amico is the Italian word for “friend” or “buddy” and Intellivision Amico encapsulates this meaning fully with a home entertainment system that has multiplayer, togetherness at its core. All new games as well as reimagined classics coming to the system invite up to eight to play using easy to use controllers and even mobile phones. Designed to appeal to a broad audience from nostalgic gamers to families, all titles will be rated E for Everyone or E10+ making it a great addition to everyone’s home.For more information, visit https://www.intellivisionentertainment.com.

This vibration feels super similar to the OUYA "Nobody plays games on the TV anymore" shtick from before this current console gen kicked off.

"Nobody plays games together anymore!"

Edit:

Is this thing even real? Is it a grift? Is it a...real grift?

One big thing that feels different about right now compared to the waning days of last gen is that there's no real "Are traditional consoles obsolete?" fud going around. So there's not even that for any potential investors to read and get snookered into supporting this thing.

thanks for reminding me that Fallout 76 likely sold millions more than Prey. Arkane was posting work for "microtransaction" poo poo at some point last year so I fear for their future. They already lost the co-founder so it's just Harvey Smith but I trust that guy enough.

that's right, and then you'd lose them or buy used games and never have them in the first place, and have no idea how to play anything

Yep. My old Intellivision collection had CIB games with those plastic sheets still in the boxes which made games more playable. I couldn't imagine trying to play anything without them since there were no in-game controls from what I remember.

I guess, but even with those among most of the gaming population there doesn't seem to be any real concern that this is "The last traditional console generation" as we know it. It just feels a lot more positive right now compared to 2012.

He also writes, or at least used to write, for Breitbart.
