I wonder how irreversibly cooked our brains are as the first generation of men to have memorized the geography of non-existent spaces. I'm far from the only one who can tell you exactly where this is located.

@QuetzalPhoenix I tend to drop the pronoun. Follows the rules of the "pro-drop" languages (in East Asia).
I am sure it throws people off a bit, but often there is no reason for the pronoun.
English
You should be writing in the second person more often.

@1GamewithDave1 I guess it was the NES. We had an Atari 7800 that my older brothers played, but I didn't like the games. Mario was the first game I played, around 1989.

@revenant_MMXX I don't see how you can hate Nintendo's direction. They have always been a combined hardware and software company. When it works, they make loads of money and have been able to continue to make the games they like.
English
Exclusives were the entire reason to even choose one game console over another. Microsoft and Sony have nothing special to offer anymore, their platforms are just idiot-proof PCs now. As much as I hate the direction Nintendo took, their exclusives justify much of it.

@VideoGameHstry Strawberry twizzlers. A Need for Speed game.

It's Saturday night. You get to pick out a game and snack for the weekend. What do you choose?

@QuetzalPhoenix It was actually common in northern Europe because winter nights were long & candles were expensive. By going to sleep twice, you fill up some time falling asleep twice. People stayed in bed most of that time or used it to stoke fires, pray, etc. They weren't up being fully active

Seems absolutely fake to me like the idea that the Greeks had no word for "blue" just absolute modern academic bug brain

Is that preindustrial biphasic sleep thing real? I've heard it repeated ad nauseam that everyone had two distinct sleep periods separated by an hour of two of elevated wakefulness every night and that artificial lighting has interrupted that, but it feels a little too pop history

Command & Conquer: Red Alert

For anyone who used a computer between 1990 & 2005… what’s the one game you still think about?

@MbarkCherguia 8.
4, 5, 9. These were the ABC, CBS, and NBC channels.
13 was PBS.
Then we had 25, 34, and 43. Those were Fox and other channels.

How many TV Channels did you have as a kid?

On the scale of 1-10, how would you rate the PS2 generation?
English
From the PS2 archives…Soul Calibur II!
Did you play it?

@F0ODHub Depends on the burger. I generally classify them into three types: an Oklahoma-style onion burger. No raw onions on that, only cooked. A mushroom and swiss. No raw onions, cooked are optional. Then your classic American lettuce and tomato cheeseburger. Raw onions? Yes, but light.

@PlayStalgiaX The PSP has basically the entire PSX library on it. It was easy to mod. Great interface. I love my PSP.
English
Why do you think the PSP is still so popular today?
English
@FerdsParrow Nah, we didn't like it when I was a kid. It sat untouched.

Zelda 2 is a pretty good game, it sold well and was succesful back in its release
The hate towards it is modern bs much influenced by youtubers and journos
"somewhat failed game" well, these guys made Shinobi Art of Vengeance, so they do understand games that are a failure!
Vota@ZeldaAnecdotes
Le studio Lizardcube (Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap, Streets of Rage 4, Shinobi: Art of Vengeance...) ne serait pas contre réalisé un remake de Zelda II : "Le premier est un meilleur jeu, tout le monde semble d’accord, mais le second, c’est un jeu qui aurait pu être meilleur. Ce qui en fait un bon candidat : on peut prendre ce jeu un peu raté et l’améliorer vraiment. Ça aurait du sens… Mais le premier Zelda, si on le refaisait, je ne pense pas que je changerais quoi que ce soit. Et si on changeait quelque chose, les gens se révolteraient. Mais bon, c’est Nintendo, donc…" Source : Eurogamer (lien en description de l'image)

@ZeldaAnecdotes The Dreamcast controller was good even though it was unique. But something like the Switch Pro controller is pretty much perfect and builds on the PS and Xbox controllers.

S’il y a bien une chose pour laquelle le jeu vidéo actuel est mieux, c’est bien les manettes
Je ne dis pas que toutes les anciennes manettes sont à jeter, j’aime toujours ma manette GameCube, mais qu’on soit sur Switch/PS5/Xbox Series on mange quand même très bien de nos jours
niko le collectionneur!@twinpeaksv
desabafo: precisamos voltar pra época onde os controles eram exóticos
