Yes but my cabbage is still on the wrong side of the river
The fun part is all the people who are gonna come out with hot takes like “what does this ’pope’ guy know about being a good Christian? He could learn a thing or two from Trump.”
We’re doomed.
How it has any upvotes when the domain name is RIGHT THERE is beyond me.
I hate that we’re talking about when he can be allowed to say inappropriately demeaning and threatening things about public servants.
Technically you can “control” damage without necessarily reducing it…
If the success metric is “quantity of shit produced” then I think you’re very wrong.
I figured you meant something like that, but if you’re the kind of person who has cravings for Wipeout and you haven’t played it in VR, it’s something you should aspire to.
That said, I would probably look into emulating the highest possible system, which would be PS3 or maybe fall back to PS2 for a higher framerate. Looks like someone did some testing for you up to PS2 though: https://youtu.be/zlVWdk4i-1Q?feature=shared
If you ask me, get a PSVR set up and play it that way. You might need a strong stomach, but it’s amazing.
Dismissing credible accusations from multiple sources, and completely disregarding his actions such as skipping memorial visits because of rain. You’re just going to set an unreasonably high standard in bad faith so you don’t have to consider that you could ever be wrong about something. Cool move.
I’d bet dollars to donuts Stormy played someone’s “neighbor” once whose sorority sisters needed “help” with their “plumbing” or something.
It’s not meant to be a perfect example. It’s a comparable principle. Subverting the self-driving like that is more or less equivalent to any other means of attempting to kill someone with their car.
Alice is 16 and she’s got some arthritis keeping her grounded, but she’s still cuddly and loves her people. ♥️
TL;DR: faking out a self-driving system is always going to be possible, and so is faking out humans. But doing so is basically attempted murder, which is why the existence of an exploit like this is not interesting or new. You could also cut the brake lines or rig a bomb to it.
He also hadn’t replaced the entire Justice department with MAGA lackeys like he did the Supreme Court and federal court system.
So many options. Some deep cuts for you though:
PlayStation:
Rakugaki Showtime - a bizarre four-player arena battle with a ton of zany unlockable characters, this game was never translated but is worth the effort since it was made by the gods of game design, Treasure (makers of Gunstar Heroes, Contra Hard Corps, Silhouette Mirage, Ikaruga, and many other gems - made up of some of the OG designers of Contra).
Trap Gunner - two player split screen 3/4 view game where you lay traps to try and kill the other player. Not a ton of longevity, but worth several fun afternoons.
Blast Chamber - four player frenzied dystopian sportsball game that takes place in a cube-shaped arena with a clever gimmick: any player can run up to a wall and rotate the entire arena 90° and cause their opponents to fall.
Return Fire - frantic two-player capture the flag with a variety of military vehicles and a fun classical soundtrack.
The Unholy War - made by Toys For Bob, which was at the time the home of the creators of Spyro, Skylanders, Archon, and the greatest PC game of all time, Star Control 2 (now free on Steam as Free Stars: The Ur-Quan Masters). A beautifully balanced and fun combination of chess-like board tactics culminating in asymmetrical 1-on-1 live combat.
Genesis/Mega Drive
Gunstar Heroes - a cooperative run and gun game that out-Contra’s Contra. The game that put Treasure on the map.
General Chaos - weird, small scale real time strategy action with cartoony soldiers. Strange but quite fun.
Star Control - two-player strategy/action in a similar formula to Unholy War (these guys loved this formula and made many variations of it), this game has you navigating a small star map to position your fleet. Conflicts are resolved in a top-down ship combat mode that is incredibly fun on its own thanks to a wild selection of unique ships.
Mutant League Football/Hockey - two versions of the same concept, these games really liven up the sports for those who aren’t die-hard Madden junkies. Most of my games I ended up winning by default because too many of the opposing team members had died. Playing against a friend, you really feel it when you get one of your players murdered.
Super Nintendo
Metal Warriors - split-screen, asymmetric, side-scrolling mech combat. Always fun to get the drop on each other.
Bomberman - obviously not a deep cut, but I had to mention it. Controller-throwing four-player competitive deliciousness.
Best I can do is a YouTube video with ads for dick pills.
You’re getting so many responses that are just “have you tried indie games?” or trying to dispel the rose-colored glasses. I suspect it’s because of the headline saying modern gaming sucks, which I think can be pretty objectively disproven.
That said, I can tell you about my experiment. I’ve instituted a program with my 12 year old stepson where he can earn marbles through chores and other tasks, and he can trade those marbles in for retro games I find in local stores and flea markets. One of the things he can also buy for a very low price is a downloaded retro magazine from retromags.com - he can ask for an issue with a particular topic in it and I’ll find one and send it to him. He isn’t really very internet savvy yet, so he’s not likely to hit up IGN for info or anything.
The result of this so far (only a few weeks in) has been serious excitement and engagement. He has access to Xbox Series and PS5 consoles, but getting to own physical games and accessories (we play them on a Retron 3 HD console) has motivated him more than I’ve seen almost anything else do. He keeps asking me if Street Fighter 2 will come to the “store” anytime soon because of my stories of how badly I wanted that game as a kid his age. Little does he know that for Christmas he’ll be getting an excellent condition, complete in box copy of Street Fighter 2: Special Championship Edition for the Genesis. He’s gonna flip.
The upshot of all this is that I really do think there was a certain magic to the experience back then. I’m doing my damnedest to recreate that magic for him, and so far it’s at least kinda working!
