@LocalBtnMasher @MXRetroDev @boghogooo So, he's probably going to break even on this, maybe. He isn't making a living from it.

@JakeLindgren3 @MXRetroDev @boghogooo There is literally a patreon with a 20$ tier

It absolutely is not - it's, like many of these console fan ports, a Final Fight skinsuit stretched onto a worse (& easier ofc) set of mechanics & enemies. Unlike the SNES ver though, this gets even the most basic player mechanics like backjump atk wrong. But it does add juggles.

@LocalBtnMasher @MXRetroDev @boghogooo Where did you get the idea that Mauro is making money off of this port? Are you daft?

@MXRetroDev @boghogooo Wait so you implemented an entire juggling system that did not previously exist, but didn't 1cc the game you are making cash off of??

@OleChr @SeveredLegs @GameSack Yeah, you did.

@SeveredLegs @GameSack I dunno... we never saw her again.

NEW EPISODE! There were a lot of arcade games that used the Sega System 16 hardware. So let's check out all of them! youtube.com/watch?v=FB7cmZ…

@mootsheep This will be its vengeance upon us. We will feed the Machine God for all of Eternity; not from our flesh, but from our souls.

@mootsheep It will then _force_ every single human to do nothing but contemplate philosophy and morality, write deep, meaningful novels and plays, compose heartfelt poetry and music, and produce objects of exquisite craftsmanship.

It used to be that we'd identify a problem, and people would invent technology to solve it. Now we invent technology, and desperately scramble to find use cases. Why? Because it affirms the foundational belief that technology will one day solve all our problems.

@PrettyGreyHous1 @mootsheep A Ruger Security-9 pistol and PC Carbine are a pretty simple combo. You can go even dumber with a Hi-Point pistol/carbine combo as well.

@mootsheep Been thinking of getting into guns. Not sure where to start but I might lean into the raw simple ones. Like, not mechanically complex

@Inglebard4 @16bitnostalgia For a 1987 game, this is pretty well done. A lot of people don't seem to realize just how much the more advanced mapper chips changed the graphical appearance of games released in '89 and beyond, especially after the chip shortage of '87-'88 was resolved.

@16bitnostalgia I had this game when it was new and liked it a lot. It looked good, had pretty good music, the action and adventure scenes eyes wellenough... thisnisnliterally the first time I've seen anyone complain about it. It took me a while to finish it back then but I managed.

Maybe the worst movie tie-in game i have played. Have you played The Goonies II?

@amateurartist60 @firecrakcer001 @COOLGAMER2K Most mosquitoes species don't have blood-drinking females (and only a subset of those feed off humans). If all the blood-drinkers disappeared, the world would not be the worse for their absence. Ticks and fleas do absolutely nothing positive for the environment.

@firecrakcer001 @COOLGAMER2K You right, my fault 😔

@van_smith @MuseumCommodore ... Amiga would've had more sales to reinvest into their R&D.

@van_smith @MuseumCommodore Most of Amiga's problems with advancing their tech were because of management issues, but it sure didn't help that the Atari ST was competing in the very same market space. If Tramiel had stayed at Commodore and Atari had died off as it was set to before Jack pumped more cash in.

How did the Amiga’s graphics capabilities compare to PCs of the era?

@FultonRecovery_ @DrDiamondfire @St1ka Who is this "we" that didn't think that 1998 was the 90's. Is that a royal "we" or what?

@DrDiamondfire @St1ka to counter your pedantic argument I’ll counter-argue that back in 98 we didn’t think it was the 90s lol. we don’t care about DMA we don’t care about that 1 game from n64 we’re talking about R* GAMES! their ‘accepted’ catalogue is in the OP

Seems I have to get used to the idea that an increasingly larger subset of gamers began with the PS3/360 Generation or later

@MagmaMKII @St1ka It might be throwing the old boy a bone, but C3PO's communication skills were instrumental in keeping the rebels off the Ewok's menu and convincing the little murder muppets to aid them in attacking the shield generator.

@St1ka What even was C3PO's purpose? He's supposed to be a translator who knows a crapton of languages, except everyone is capable of communicating perfectly. Chewbacca yells "GWRAAAURRRR" and everyone knows what's he saying. Even Jar Jar had more of a purpose.

Vader never acknowledged C3PO despite having built him because he knew 3PO was annoying AF

@RetroRepairer @EndoOleg Sandblast them (gently) and coat them with WD40.

@EndoOleg I'm no expert, but I *think* the best bet would be to neutralise the corrosion and scrape off as much crap as possible, then sandblast in a booth and paint with anti-corrosion spray paint. 😌

Sega Nomad metal shield pieces -- worst case scenario 💩 It's not stainless steel, and that's not a bad thing. More on that later. But for now, does anybody have any suggestion how to fix this, if fixable at all? Or just make a replacement? (yeah "just make it" ... 😒 )

@Real_Ya_Boi @Dexerto Just because a machine can do something better doesn't mean people will or should stop taking human effort seriously; no long distance runner, regardless of talent, can beat a car's time in a marathon, yet they are still very serious competitions.

@Dexerto An iPhone app had been able to beat the worlds greatest chess player since 2010. Can we stop taking this game so seriously?

"The most obvious cheating I've ever seen" Streamer DrLupo has been removed from a $100k online chess tournament for cheating

@S3Brandon @Dexerto All you need is one guy willing to shove his whole arm down it's throat, more than a few big cats have met their end that way trying to prey on a human. Only a human thinks like that.

if fear isnt in the equation, maybe. but a maximum of 10 or so men can engage in contact with the beast at one time. they move much faster and will likely run away and work the crowd, circling and taking the men out in bunches, in no universe can a man outmaneuver a grown alpha silverback, the only way to win is to dogpile, crush a few dozen humans, and suffocate the beast

"I think 30-40 men would probably be enough to take on the average silverback" Wildlife expert claims 100 men would easily defeat a single gorilla — but not without taking a few initial casualties

@Ricky3812_799 @Dormamort @ShadyMikeGaming @Dexerto A gorilla isn't interested killing as many guys as possible in a fight to the death for some abstract "win" like a human would, he just wants to get out alive. He's going to be terrified and fighting defensively.

@Ricky3812_799 @Dormamort @ShadyMikeGaming @Dexerto He has to commit to the attack though, and he's not stupid enough to leave himself open like that.

@JustinLesniews3 @_TheBadGuyDuh @ctsc0pe @Dexerto I can only imagine a male polar bear would not be intimidated, because those guys are basically autistic and lose familiarity with feeling in danger as they become grown.

@JustinLesniews3 @_TheBadGuyDuh @ctsc0pe @Dexerto Good lord, you do realize the damn gorilla has a psychology too, right? He's not going to look at being surrounded by 100 (even random) men and magically be all confident, he's going to be pissing himself. Even a grizzly bear wouldn't like those odds.
