Everybody loves The Acclaimed

I only found out a few years ago that Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm by Crash Test Dummies was commonly regarded as one of the worst songs of the 90s, but it reminds me of middle school and summers at the pool. Same with Sex And Candy by Marcy Playground.

I don't care if it has the same framerate as traditional animation, if your CGI movie is less than 30 fps it looks cheap and gives me a headache.

The Orange Box was a lot of people's first Steam purchase. It's hard to overstate just how much gaming value was included.

I made the switch when RiF died. In all honesty I wish it wasn't necessary, because the niche communities here are a shadow of what Reddit had before the blackouts. And while Reddit had trolls just like Lemmy, it was big enough that you didn't have to share general spaces with them.

Suikoden II is generally considered one of the best JRPGs on the PS1, and while the English translation isn't spotless the writing and setpieces have a similar quality to Chrono Trigger. It is a sequel to Suikoden and you'll enjoy the second game a bit more for having played the first one, but it's not a requirement. The original Suikoden wasn't nearly as polished and I'd hate for you to give up on Suikoden II because you burned out on it.

I had thought that the Iowa Caucus losing its first-in-the-nation status would keep these leeches out of the state but now I guess the Fair is their excuse to saddle up the clown car.

Absolutely, and I'm looking forward to it. I'll be the fossil holding up the entire self-checkout lane because the retinal scan can't see past my cataracts, and not one of these kids can stop me!

Guild Wars 2's World vs World mode, but with an established IP and without the bolted-on single player content. And increase the team sizes while you're at it. Sell cosmetic DLC to pay the bills if you must.

WvW was a blast until they shelved it for a year to focus on poorly-written single player DLC, and lost half of the community in the process. I tried going back a few years ago but it's a grindfest now.

Ticks and Leeches off of Lateralus by Tool. It's not even a bad song but the aggression ruins the flow of the album and sticks out like a sore toe.

The original PS1 game had both main character options, if that makes you feel better about it.

I'm more than a little sad to see it happen but it was only a matter of time. At least we can still download past purchases and play multiplayer.

Vagrant Story was ahead of its time and constrained by the PS1 hardware. If Square Enix had held on for a few years and developed it for the PS2 it would have started its own franchise.

It's not worth the price, financially or morally.

There was, I signed up for it and I never received anything. And then the disk drive on my PS3 went to pot and disabled the whole device. Sony can't design hardware for shit.

Crusade. The story was just starting to get interesting but JMS had used all of his pull just getting the fifth season of B5 on the air. I'm cautiously optimistic about the animated series that was hinted at by The Road Home but I'm also not holding my breath.

This was track #1 on my work from home playlist back in 2020. Such a weird time.

Imagine telling people your first name is Gunner or Major and expecting them to take you seriously.

Still better than the best.

Maynard was definitely going through a phase around this time.

Love this one.

The original Driver on PS1 made me better at handling cars in general, both in video games and real life. It's a shame GTA and Saints Row went with exaggerated vehicle physics and the Driver series never got the non-vehicular parts right.

Ray Traylor didn't do anything to deserve this.

Ford has a hard enough time keeping up with demand for their vehicles as-is, so I kinda understand their decision. The US is starved for good domestic hybrid trucks, though, and Ford is leaving money on the table here.

I'm about halfway through the first book. First time through the series. Better late than never, I suppose.
