Secret Music

Just finished Metroid Fusion earlier, started Metroid Zero Mission. Replaying both. Probably going to get to the GBA Castlevania games soon as well.

Although I’m starting to get an itch for a Phantasy Star run again so by this time next week I’ll probably be busy with that. Thinking of going straight to Phantasy Star 3 this time. I’ve played PS1 the most by far and PS2 multiple times as well but I’ve only fully completed PS3 once so far.

Omg twinsies except for the doing well and having a good life part.

Gives me Laughing Man vibes. Ghost in the Shell storyline where an incident involving a hacktivist holding a healthcare CEO hostage ends up leading to investigations and CEOs and corrupt politicians going down.

Absolutely. Also Power Rangers for having a diverse cast that includes girls who kick ass too, and Captain Planet for having both a diverse cast and ecological consciousness. And X-Men for the same reasons they shat on X-Men '97. And Sonic the Hedgehog for being anti-authoritarian and having little PSAs about tolerance and being a good person. And Justice League Unlimited for showcasing female heroes just as much as male heroes. Powerpuff Girls for obvious reasons.

Back then they called everything they didn’t like “satanic” or “evil” anyway. Before they realised they could trick idiot kids into joining their cause by calling it “woke” and packaging it as rebellion instead of pearl clutching and puritanical nonsense.

If Legend of Zelda first came out today, you can bet your ass these people would be complaining about Link not being ‘manly’ enough.

I know that ‘Christians’ exist. Not sure I’ve ever met any Christians though.

Strange. I didn’t see a single mention of drag queens or trans people in there.

Yeah that’s what I thought the other day as well. They should all get together and take Nintendo to court.

Wait, so in all these years that Europeans have been making fun of dumb Americans for having a two party system, and for having no real left wing options, the UK has been basically the same?

So did this UK “centre-left” party turn out to be a Trojan horse or what? They’ve dismantled trans rights. They plan on using AI thought police to ‘predict’ future crimes and criminals. And now they want multibillion corporations to have free access to anyone’s work without compensation.

If I hadn’t looked this political party up on Wikipedia, by this point I would be assuming that they’re a bunch of conservative wankers on Elon Musk’s payroll.

The Hop Harrigan 1946 serial and the Congo Bill 1948 serial. I found a Hop Harrigan torrent that sat at 0% on my list without even downloading metadata for about two years before I gave up. And I couldn’t find Congo Bill anywhere. Something tells me that Congo Bill would be pretty problematic and full of insulting stereotypes these days though.

Reads: “rule 5 - systematic downvoting.”

Replies: “Well stop downvoting everything.”

This guy: “Ah well I see that you just can’t read then.”

Yeah, I’d say, if hetero people need an excuse to have fun and celebrate something, I’m all for it. But I have a sneaky suspicion that this is going just going to be used as a hatefest towards LGBTQ+ people instead. I would love to be proven wrong but I have a feeling that straight cis people who are open minded and accepting and not bigots, aren’t the ones who feel the need to go “what about straight pride / international men’s day?” whenever anyone else gets a bit of attention.

Watched that a couple of months ago, had a good time. Was pretty surprised to find the origin of FitGirl’s profile pic.

Haha I’ll believe it when I see it. Pretty sure he said something similar a couple of Stardew Valley updates ago. This seems to be his number one love and obsession and one of these days while working on Haunted Chocolatier again, he’s gonna think “hmmm that would actually go nicely in Stardew Valley” and start working on SV again.

Just FYI I’m not complaining or anything. I think it’s funny and relatable. But I’m not gonna hold my breath for this game until it’s actually out.

The song “All I Want” was prominently featured in the game Crazy Taxi, I believe.

Sega Mega Drive for me. We had knock off NES consoles in my country with 100 in 1 cartridges but we just called those “TV games”. Nintendo never bothered with any non first world country back then, so pirates picked up the slack. I don’t think I even knew of the ‘Nintendo’ brand when I was a little kid until I started using the internet and collecting magazines.

But Sega wasn’t quite as stiff upper lip and exclusive as Nintendo and had no problem with lowering themselves and selling their goods to us plebs in the 3rd world. So Sega was the premium brand here and “TV games” were just cheap shit in comparison in my eyes.

We had a knock off NES when I was a little kid (called a Pegasus) but my first actual legit name brand console was the Sega Mega Drive.

Wish I still had it. When I was about 13, I went through a really dumb phase for about 1 month total where I decided I was too grown up for this stuff and I sold my Mega Drive and comics for enough money to buy one CD, probably of a band that I don’t even listen to anymore. Regret it to this day.

Zoomer humour.

This guy is so behind the curb. Doesn’t he know that the latest fad is NFTs and blockchain AI?

That’s one of the infuriating things about these people. They’ll just make up BS that makes Trump seem reasonable. Trump does this English only thing, and now suddenly non-english truck drivers causing accidents is a thing, something that’s been a problem all along and thank Jesus he’s finally fixing it. Even though this was never actually a real issue that anyone even imagined before today.
