ByteOnBikesWow, they really attacked gamers. Conservatives speedrunning how to be hated by everybody.
AnissemI like him even more now
MegaUltraChickenI know right? The Dreamcast was awesome.
I still remember how exciting it was to see/hear the boot-up screen đ
Piracy was rampant on it though. Kind of feel bad having contributed to that but I was a poor teenager.
Thereâs a non-zero chance that Tim Walz still has his VMUs.
They still working though? Battery damage? I canât imagine the next scandal, lol
I found a couple of my old VMUs a while back⌠Luckily the batteries didnât leak and they worked once i found batteries to try em with! The Dreamcast really was awesome đ
Pretty sure all my Chaos from Sonic Adventure are long dead by now.
Same, lol. I thought this was a post to make me think he was more relatable and cool. Cause thatâs how I felt after reading the first paragraph. When I realized who was making the post and his take on it, all I could think was, why is this guys face so small relative to the size of his head!
Exactly. But the reality is the republicans would attack whatever side paints him in a negative light. If Walz was attacking video games the republican spin would be âfirst theyâll take your guns, THEN theyâll want to tell you how to spend your free time!â
Dang, I wonder if Coach was really into Crazy Taxi. Or maybe Space Channel 5? đ¸
Gotta be Powerstone
Hell yes! Loved Powerstone 1 and 2!

jordanlundHey, uh, Iâm looking for some sailors. Do you know where I can find them?
Jet Grind Radio (Jet Set Radio for international players).
Hey hey, come on over and play some Crrrrazy Taxi!
đľYeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!
Easily one of the best Dreamcast games imo đ i loved the bowling stage where you try to drift into the pins for a strike⌠I donât remember how you got there but it was so much fun. That game was also a blast in the arcade in the sit-down style cabinet.
nba 2k. when it was good.
Skies of Arcadia
vaultdweller013And now all I can think of is Jello apocalypse bits.
Rain of swords!
Nah 100% PSO, staying up stupid late with the guys to do one more run for that bazooka with a 0.001% drop rate
Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2
FuglyDuckEdit: lol.
FWIW, the genisis game out in 1989 in the US. he would have been 25. So. like. if he was playing the console a decade after it released⌠heâd have been 35âŚ
Dreamcast is not the same console as Genesis. Dreamcast was released in 98.
9.9.99 to be exact.
âItâs thinkingâ
And then you could be insulted by a fish, after it you talk to it with a microphone. Narriated by Lenard Nemoy.
yeahâŚuh⌠i was thinking of the console my uncle got addicted to.
heh.
fun times. (no. seriously. really fun times. Weâd play for HOURS.)
Harvey656TIL the fuglyduck also has bad eyesight.
Naw. But 4yro me has lots of fun memories on the genesis. Never played on the Dreamcast, so I looked the genesis up. Incidentally, it was my uncles and heâd be about the same age as walz.
(Cooler, though. Unless walz had the full start trek collection on VHS,)
ThePowerOfGeekTinyface McGhee is trying to dictate who is weird? Talk about pure deflection. That clown is basically in a villain group for talentless weirdos (along with Ben Shapiro, Candace Owens, Tomi Lahren, Matt Walsh, and Steven Chowder).
And after all the weird shit Kirk and company have pushed over the years, they are gonna have to do a lot better than Walz being hooked on playing a games console.
Your face is weird. Like, really.
No charlie, thatâs not that weird. In fact it happens all the time.
With normal people at least.
Also there is so little context to this. What counts as âaddictedâ? Was she just mad, that he wasnt spending enough time with her? Was she maybe just generally against playing video games? Or was he actually addicted? We will never know and its also completely irrelevant information.
LucidlethargyBingo! Rich people donât need games, their lives are a fucking game. The rest of us use them to relax and escape.
MeatsOfRageAlso thereâs like good weird and bad weird. This is good weird. Bad weird is having your name on Jeffery Epsteinâs flight logs.
I still have my dreamy in the office.
All itâs ever used for is the odd Quake 3 game; for people to play Metropolis Street Racer on it when they ask what console it is; and serving as a reminder that I really need to set a week aside for playing Shenmue III.
Iâve been running the emulator on my Steam Deck this week.
Walz is the guy who will join your 3 man group in Phantasy Star Online at 2 AM to go take down Dark Falz.
Walz manages to save your quarter from getting stuck behind the frame for the top display of the arcade cabinet, and lets you have next.
daisy lazarusIf âI was born in the 80sâ were a commentâŚ
Born in the 80s is more the NES and SNES times. Thatâs gotta be born in the 70s.
darkdemizeWhat? I was born mid-80s and spent a lot of time in the arcades growing up.
âBack in those days, we called quarters âarcade tokensâ, and they had pictures of Pac-Man on them! âGimme five Pac-Mans for the arcadeâ, youâd say.â
OMG yes. I loved PSO.
Ultimate Dark Falz was one thing (3rd form putting your buddies voodoo doll in its mouth so damaging it damaged the player), but Ultimate Olga Flow, yeesh. My brother and I loved that first form, then that second one was always rough.
RustyShacklefordDamn those were the good old days⌠Setting up my PC as a run through to fool the Dreamcast into thinking my DSL was dialup internet. I played PSO and Shenmue so much my family hated it.
DSL
I did some shenanigans back in the day to fake a local network for my xbox 2001, so we could âLANâ with others over the internet, mostly 2v2 deathmatches. I remember you neede cross-over UTP cables, and we had to learn what that meant. What did your DSL/Dialup switcheroo give you ins PSO and Shenmue? Just regular old multiplayer?? or something like pokemon trading over the link cable?
RivalarrivalXBConnect! I 'member!
Dunno where op was but in the UK at least it wasnât possible for the longest time to get the Dreamcast to use a flat rate dial up because Sega did a deal with British Telecom. This made multiplayer pricey af⌠I know this because my dad was not amused at the ÂŁ230 phone bill I racked up in the first month of PSO đ
I did similar for the Xbox lol, and I live in the states, so everything worked fine in both games for me.
I was surprised it was that simple, because these days it wouldnât be as easy. I remember being super safe trying to avoid the save corruption called NOL.
For anyone reading not sure what NOLâing was:
When the code is enabled, you withdraw a certain item from your bank depending on which slot you want to target. The victimâs character then reloads as one of the gameâs NPC characters. NOL is NPC 00, so she was the default chioce and thus became the generic name for all NPC overwriting. The victim would then have to turn off his Dreamcast to avoid having his character destroyed permanently, and doing so would instead cause him to lose all his unequipped items, since he didnât save.
Auto-save NOLing could either be accomplished by waiting to NOL somebody until he had already entered a teleporter, so that his game would automatically save at the end of the loading screen and destroy his character permanently on its own, or by combining a NOL code with a teleportation code that would forcibly send the victim to another floor after overwriting his data. Once the save is complete, the victim has to delete his character and start over, since his class, level, and inventory are forever replaced by that of the NPC. It was quite common on Oberon, which is why most people would play in locked teams on other ships to hide from the people who used those codes.
Various other codes were also created to improve the efficiency of NOLing other players, such as the âbank reachâ code that allowed you to merely face the direction of the bank counter and press the A button to access it, which would allow you to immediately NOL other players after entering a team, instead of having to spend time running from the Hunterâs Guild to the Check Room. Other codes would allow you to load your character data at the Telepipe locations instead of the Hunterâs Guild when joining a team, so that you would be closer to the bank and not have to run as far.
Walz the kind of VP to join the ARMA 3 session and play medic
BaybladeMy god, you have incited my urge to pick up that game again
Been emulating it on the Steam Deck all week. :)
Hell yeah! Thatâs how I have it set up
ig man, I lived that game. maybe I should return to it at some point
Just remember that Charlie is an extra special flavor of stupid. That oversized head of his is filled with the same shit that he spews.
Charlie Kirk struggling to be relatable as ever
Walz likes video games? Like a third of the entire planet does? What a weirdo, so unrelatable.
