Hey, did you guys hear about the one about the console gamer and the girl? Neither did we. A little lesson in love, gentlemen: chicks don't dig guys who are behind the times. Sorry. But the good news is, when enhanced with a 3dfx Voodoo graphics accelerator, the performance and effects on your PC will kick the snot out of your console. Thus bringing you ahead of the times. So pick one up. Oh, and lose the headgear. They hate that too.

Imagine if Nvidia or AMD still made ads like this nowadays. If you don't buy an RTX 5090 that means your DICK is SMALL

If you're just getting into DMC because of the Netflix Anime, the game you should skip is DMC2 for a few reasons:

1. The original director of DMC1 (Hideki Kamiya) did not return for the sequel.

2. The person they replaced him with did not like Dante, nor had any experience in the genre (DMC combat exists because of a glitch from Onimusha and being able to "juggle" enemies)

3. Itsuno (director of DMC 3-5) came in towards the end of the development (it was clear the game was struggling) and added some things to improve the quality

4. take all the above, you have a game that doesn't have the characterization, tone, finesse, gameplay of the original- and just a bad game at that

5/ To make matters worse, the game ended on a cliffhanger that is never brought up again or resolved in any following games. It was chronologically supposed to be a game that takes place later in his life, but literally now just takes place after DMC1**___**

While kids in most parts of Japan are obsessed with Pokémon cards, the children of Kawara are clutching to something a little closer to home.

They are playing a trading card game (TCG) where the stars aren’t fantasy creatures, anime heroes or even famous baseball players, but ojisan (middle-aged or older men) from the local community of Saidosho.

On the surface, this Ojisan TCG looks like any other collectible card game. As of March 18, there are 47 different cards in the collection, including 28 featuring local men with stats and special abilities.

Take the Firewall card, for example. It features Mr. Honda (74), a former fire brigade chief who helped keep the town safe for decades. Then there’s Soba Master Mr. Takeshita (81), who runs a local soba noodle-making class and now holds legendary status among the town’s youth.

The publishers of Drug Dealer Simulator are suing Schedule I because it's a better game.

apparently they are mad that game kind of has a similar theme.

Here is one of the latest player reviews: "Game was mid at best when it first released. Lots of empty promises that were never delivered. I also can not support a company who would rather sue an indie developer than actually fix their damn game."

"we are obligated to perform this investigation"

No you are not. It's bullshit. Use your resources making better games, instead of being cooperate asshats and suing people who do

"It is not our intention to prevent TVGS from selling or developing their game"

where have I heard that before? oh, maybe when Nintendo/TPC tried to sue Palworld/Pocket Pair

And to say "there is no Lawsuit" but then continue to explain why they are investigating (to build a lawsuit) is not a good look.

Sorry Byterunners, but I will be boycotting anything handled by Movie Games, this is ridiculous.

Anyone play it? Thoughts? Seems like something hexbear would like. I have not played it, but it looks interesting.

there are a lot of video games and of course i know every video game ever but other users might not so it might be helpful to include them on screenshots or meme posts idk thought it was helpful

Just when I thought I had acclimated to the high school visual novel part of Valkyria Chronicles 2, I get the classic anime trope of accidentally falling on someone's boobs with a side of possible transphobia

For context, the character being groped is male-presenting with their sex being listed as male in their bio and is referred to with male pronouns. I did notice his voice actor sounded female and wondered if that was going to come into play in his subplot. With the huge amount of squad mates in this game I was expecting to see at least some queer ones since I vaguely remember the first game having a few. I wasn't expecting this (though maybe I should have)

Anyway, he admits to being a woman at the end of this scene so I wonder if this is more of a Mulan situation than an instance of a trans character. Guess I'll see how this character's subplot concludes.

There's also a pair of female characters where one seems lesbian-coded and is the target of some vaguely homophobic abuse from fellow students though they seem to just be "close friends"

I guess 2010 was a pretty long time ago

Forgot to post this on Sunday again sorry. Anyway I've been playing more Balatro and some Rome Total War. Hope everyone has a good week
