itâs so funny to me that Wikipediaâs main image depicting the Virtual Boy shows it mounted *backwards* on the stand. as though nobody involved in taking the picture had anywhere near the level of investment necessary to notice this
alright. have you played my friendsâ video game UNBEATABLE yet? if you havenât, for whatever reason, well, you have to get it and play it because they worked really hard on it for 8 years so you have to be nice to them. and also the game rules. like this shit rips, genuinely. and hey, if you donât have any New Yearâs plans, then you have the perfect opportunity to have the canonically ideal UNBEATABLE experience! https://www.unbeatablegame.com
oh my god. oh my god? so apparently a Mario Kart World update this month âAdded "Music Volume" to "Settings/Controller".â wow, finally an option in a CAD $110 video game to just, turn the music down, or even off!
the only options are âNormalâ and âLoudâ.
utterly fascinating failure mode for trying to run Fedora LXQt Spin on an old laptop. what even is happening here
a little bit after beating my fifth gym leader (Norman), i found a TM for Ice Beam. while debating whether to teach it to Tuna Salad or Flat Fred, my friend looks over and suddenly yells âYOU HAVE POKĂRUS??!â
i guess itâs extremely rare! i lack the context to grasp exactly how rare, but my friend proceeded to start telling a bunch of her other friends about my somehow getting it on my very first playthrough of the third PokĂŠmon game iâve ever played. meanwhile, iâve yet to see a single shiny.
a couple more showcases. while the ghost boss itself is obviously more atmospheric, the shivering effect on Wario is also much more subtle and visually interesting with the more âflawedâ rendering!
i hadnât actually played the first Wario Land all the way through until just the other day, and iâm very glad i went out of my way to do so using a shader that mimicked the LCD characteristics of the original Game Boy. it might seem unfathomable to deliberately impose latency and ghosting onto a gameplay experience, but this game was designed for that screen! many of its effects are tailored to the response times of that green dotâmatrix display.
