I recently discovered Grimbeard, a self-aware "goth gamer" that does super chill Game Dungeon-style short reviews of mostly horror and adventure games. He also makes industrial music if that's your sort of thing.

Also, Cybershell has recently returned after a long hiatus, doing ridiculously deep dives on Sonic the Hedgehog games and fandom. I don't even like Sonic and I listened to this guy talk about Chao Gardens for over an hour.

Tumblr is just incredible at generating the most insane drama I loving love it where else would you find callout posts about people selling human bones or find people happily handing thousands of dollars over to literal teenagers to organize conventions or create animated TV shows without question?

The Dashcon organizers were actually 30-somethings.

I don't think she was the main organizer, but from videos on the debacle it's clear she was the only one making an attempt at actually running a convention.

Man, if this is true, I have to go back to Kirby one of these days. Back then, not even the secret hidden difficulty mode of the original Kirby's Dreamland could stop me, and I even bulldozed my way through the harder NES-game.

Ever since they started putting Arena modes in Kirby has secretly been the most hardcore Nintendo franchise, in both difficulty and content, and it's not even close.

Wait, what?

Synydyne, probably the shittest professional ARG group, unceremoniously abandoned their actually kind of interesting project This Is My Milwaukee and secretly bought horse_ebooks and the YouTube channel Pronunciation Book, on which they hosted a mysterious countdown that lasted a little over a month. People were going nuts over what it could mean and at the end of the countdown, they revealed Bear Stearns Bravo, a CYOA/ARG hybrid nobody asked for about the 2008 economic collapse, where you were a cyberpunk auditor or something? Nobody cared and people were and are angry because they effectively killed three mildly fascinating internet things to make it.

ACES CURE PLANES posted:

SaGa Frontier Remastered just came out, and it's both the original game in a more convenient package AND a shitton of new content that incorporates a bunch of side material into the main game. It's good as poo poo and I kinda hope it sets the standard, even though I absolutely know better.

Jamie Faith posted:

The funny thing is Spyro Reignited is exactly what I think of when I think of bad remakes. I got it for Christmas last year and enjoyed my time with it but I hate how radically different the art style is. The characters and the world itself look way different stylistically from the originals. Maybe it's because I've replayed the OT Spyro trilogy again and again throughout my life so I'm used to that look but normally I love graphical updates of old games. I think the new CoD Modern Warfare Remasters pretty much can replace the ogs because they're pretty loyal to the source material for the most part (except Nikolai looks way different now for some reason but besides that lol)

Yardbomb posted:

The Shadow Man remaster that just came out is fantastic, not only is the game dolled up a bit with HD textures and more modern system support, Nightdive also restored 3 whole levels that were lost/cut from the original, restored uncensored more gory and nasty enemy models and stuff that got cut from the originals, added two cut/unfinished weapons back into the game fixed up, reimplemented unused dialogue and little character bits in the spots it should've been, just incredibly high quality work for a cool weird cult classic.

Heh, you have all fallen for my trap and recommended other good remasters. Too easy. Dance, puppets, dance.

I wonder how much of that is actual members of sports teams at his high school bullied him and how much of that is Bob internalizing John Hughes movies or probably more accurately Revenge of the Nerds. There's a nine out of ten chance that it was other people on Bob's social level bullied him because that's how it usually works.

I think about this, too. My understanding is I grew up around the same time and in very similar circumstances to him, and I only had one bully who was an rear end in a top hat to pretty much everyone until he discovered weed. Never had a single problem with the jocks or other popular kids - in fact, there was huge crossover between them and my group of nerd/skater/goth kids and we all played Halo, MVC2, D&D, and Magic together on weekends. Anecdotes aren't evidence, of course, but that's my experience from a similar place.

i'm still not sure what card counting is if not "using your human memory to have better odds a winning"

Basically, yes. Card counting isn't really cheating but casinos don't like it and good dealers know how to look for it, and a casino can ask you to leave if they suspect you of doing it. They won't outright accuse you of cheating, because you aren't, but they are well within rights as a private to business to strongly suggest you either go play something else or hit the bricks.
