https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d1112584940 I have no idea what something like this normally goes for.

Oh?

I guess DKJM did re-teach me how to do long division, although I've subsequently forgotten it again.

I haven't seen this movie in like 25 years. I don't remember if it's good or if I just really liked Arnold Schwarzenegger at the time.

You've invented walking simulators

You guys are still talking about video games? Lmao, everyone collects concert posters now. Get with the times.

Where do stumps fit into all this?

Belt scroller is such a cooler name than beat 'em up or brawler. One sounds like Toys R Us and the other one is what people call beat 'em ups when they're wrong.

And if Bloodbourne just portmonteaued itself into the genre name because it was particularly good, if Elden Ring is better does the genre name become Soulsring now? Stop putting game titles in genres. Ahhhhh. Edit: My sources are telling me Soulsbourne only refers to Soulslikes developed by From Software, so you can say "My favorite Soulslikes are the Soulsbournes". God.

As someone who only played the first DS, was Bloodbourne distinct and influential enough to co-opt itself onto the "Soulsbourne" genre or is Bloodbourne the SOTN leech of that genre name?

As everyone should

Mario made a BILLION dollars. We've got at minimum of 8 movies ahead of us for 8 temples, plus a finale movie split into two parts.

I think difficulty settings can be a problem. Metal Gear Solid 2 has six difficulty settings. How on Earth is any player supposed to pick the correct difficulty? Even just adding an easy mode to SMRPG can lead to people making the wrong choice. I heard the boomers say this was a "retro game", does that mean this is "Nintendo hard?" I don't have time to play a hardcore SNES RPG like Wizardry V, I better set it to breezy mode. Those old games were all so poorly designed! When Mulholland Drive came out, no one said "Man, they need to release a cut of the film that my mom can understand to make it more accessible!". They just went to see Ocean's Eleven because there's unlimited choice in media. I think Mulholland Drive would be perhaps a lesser work if it was released with "Film Bro", "Average Moviegoer", and "Mom Mode" difficulty settings rather than the singular cut it was intended to have. Like whatever who cares if a Nintendo game has an easy mode and SMRPG isn't Mulholland Drive but difficulty settings are still BS. If your game is a laid back action movie, make a laid back action movie. If it's a plodding third person shooter, make a plodding third person shooter. Why am I going to have to pick my difficulty setting when I play Uncharted 5? Just be whatever the best you is.

It's good. I never beat it because video games are long. I wasn't into the online component and don't understand how it made 8 billion dollars.

I just sit through everything. I fell asleep during Peter Jackson’s King Kong because it was 5 hours too long. The only movie I even remember turning off was Stone with Cornrows Norton for being interminably boring.

This blatantly unwarranted collective punishment is a violation of the Geneva convention

Well at least you don't need to install games to a HDD or download things online on consoles, you just put the disc in and go. Wait you WHAT?

I’ve pretty much fizzled out on modern consoles. I’m just playing Nintendo exclusives. I’m not a huge fan of AAA games and consoles are all the same now. There’s no other console or era of PC games that feels quite like a Sega Master System with its unique color pallet and audio hardware compared to say NES or Turbografx. Every console now is just a PC. When consoles add unique features like the Wii U screen or whatever the hell is in joycons to make them $80, we just ignore it and demand more games with Xbox-controller control schemes that are identical across PC and 3 consoles.

Vampire Survivors. I have witnessed the death of video games. I don't think I've ever played a skinner box that entirely plays itself so thoroughly. In every level you walk around a map for 30 minutes while enemies slowly walk into your impenetrable death ball while you do absolutely nothing. 30 MINUTES. Cookie Clicker is a more engaging game, at least you're constantly clicking stuff.

Dammit you ambushers and your late ass posts

Boomers who want ramps aren't old enough. Back in my day we didn't have ramps.

Who the heck doesn't like the theme or music?

Since this was at Half Price Books, they paid $1 for it to begin with I would have zero qualms about paying HPB $2 for one if I had the chance.

OP won't even get a pizza party

I think it probably is/was a fair price for a nice looking copy. Someone spent $63k for a worse one this summer. It was in stock when I posted it. I figured it would not last long for someone in the market.
