    NES games difficulty compared to modern standards

    in The Gauntlet

    Posted

    Has anyone started this discussion before?? This is a very interesting aspect because a lot of NES games were tremendously hard to beat and many of them were exceptionally super unforgiving to the point you sometimes needed to glitch your way out in order to beat them. SNES still had some tough ones but it seems like things were slowing down back then. Now, compared to how much people complain on even putting the slightest bit of effort to even push buttons in modern games they completely obliterate NES games in reviews just for being hard. Granted, NES games were very hard but times were also different and I can sometimes agree some NES games were just too cheap or require too much of bullshit memorization but I'd say this judgement is a little unfair. Maybe it's a good idea to challenge it with the question- why? Why so many NES games were so hard to begin with? Was that in the purpose of keeping kids playing for a long time and not to disturb everyone's ass? Or maybe NES wasn't a super technologically advanced machine at the time so they tried to compensate for it with super hard difficulty? Or is there something else I'm missing?

    2023 VGS NES Weekly Contest - Tournament Finals!

    in Events Archive

    It's great to finally see the end results and the end of this tournament but there's tons of discrepancies. I think top 3 people are in the correct spots but I don't have a clue what happened to other peoples scores. For instance only top 3 people participated in Capcom and NESfiend didn't participate this round at all which is unfortunate so I don't know why he got points and his counter should stay at 6 from the 2nd round. This probably doesn't affect the top 3 places on the leaderboard but it is important to nail down who got the last place here

    By shitshow, you mean collectable or pawn show?

    I remember Storage Wars had a dude find an NES and mistook the model number (NES-001) for the serial number.

    Yeah, buddy, the very first NES ever produced ended up in the random storage locker you bought.

    Ah yes it was a crappy TV show (does anybody still watch TV???) where some seriuz byznyzmyn were arguing about retro video game prices. Thanks for reminding me the name, it was storage wars. I found the clip in question but I misspoke a bit, it went "you know what I will let it go for 5000 dollars....... or 5 dollars!!"

     

    And the old classic

     

    Twitch is now a porn site

    in Everything Else

    Posted

    For the record I haven't ever intentionally used twitch in my life for the purpose of actually using it. I only ever used it a few times when someone linked a clip, stream on twitch somewhere and that's it. Even though it always has been targeted as "gayming streaming platform" I feel it always has had a bad reputation for streaming softcore porn and severely bending the rules. There wasn't a single year where I haven't heard about a scandal regarding twitch and some lady in a bathtub, showing sexy body parts, intentionally or "accidentally" and these ladies never got banned even once. Contradictory, twitch staff was defending them. Even it is technically AGAINST THE RULES of their terms of service, they were always abusing the system or bending these rules but to my interpretation it was crystal clear explicit content of the likes that were called into question were NOT allowed. Just to remind you twitch is officially intended for people at least 13+, not 18+. It is not about hating ladies but about the fact people go there to watch some games, not softcore porn. Even then I always wondered- why even bother? The internet consists of over 50% of porn and you literally have zillion of options to go anywhere and do your "typing on the keyboard 1 handed" stuff. I always thought twitch is run by a gang of horny middleschoolers that are enjoying and defending these explicit streams. Alternatively I can only guess this sort of content and controversy generates a ton of money for the corporation and they know it. They have blood on their hands

    Very recently there was yet another scandal with a porn model that literally showed her bare booba on stream and encourage people to go to her porn site or do and pay for things off camera or something along these lines. This is STILL BLATANTLY ILLEGAL to do on twitch. Do something like this on youtub and you are banned immediately. So what did twitch do after that scandal?? Looks like they doubled down to the most extreme and unbelievable level possible and made possibly the most outrageous changes in human history of any website. Everything has literally been copy pasted from their terms of service page with identical wording. Some changes include:

    If you want to upload any of these below, you need to tag them with a hashtag. As long as you tag them, you are free to go to publish these:

    -Content that focuses on clothed intimate body parts such as the buttocks, groin, or breasts.
    -Body writing or body art on buttocks or breasts of female-presenting person.
    -Content with a focus on fictionalized (drawn, animated, or sculpted) exposed female-presenting breasts and/or fully exposed genitals or buttocks regardless of gender.
       -Figure drawing exercises of fully nude women
       -Zooming into artwork where characters’ nude buttocks are visible
       -Avatars that translate streamer’s real-life movement into digital characters are subject to our Adult Nudity and Attire policies and may be prohibited
    -Prolonged or repeated kissing another individual or object, including kissing or licking a microphone. 
    -Strip teases and other erotic dances that involve actual disrobing or disrobing gestures
    -Wearing or displaying BDSM-associated attire (e.g. harnesses, blindfolds, collars) or paraphernalia (e.g. whips) displayed or worn without engaging in sexual activity.
    -Display of sex toys in an educational context.
    -Non-educational discussions of sexual topics or experiences. 
       -Non graphic conversations related to sexual activities, preferences, fetishes, etc. 
       -Commentary that centers around sexual jokes or innuendos, including brief instances of sexual noises
    -Directly encouraging or eliciting conversations in chat that would qualify as containing Sexual Themes as listed above.
       -Asking users in chat to describe their first sexual encounter 

    My comment: the bolded part above sounds the most outrageous. You can literally just upload animated porn and hentai and this is very clearly stated in the rules. Enjoy your rule34 2

    Tagging NOT required (you are good to go to upload this right out of the box):

    -Presentation or discussion of sexual health education content related to contraceptives or safe sex practices that does not use detailed graphic language or utilize sex toys; art history educational content or public art that might feature nude figures, popular dance forms (including twerking and athletic pole dancing).

    Yep, yep all of this definitely sounds like a porn site now. In short, you can legally easily upload softcore porn on twitch now as long as you tag it. I can definitely see people doing these for "educational purposes" and never bending the rules and mods enforcing their policies and I can 100% trust them based on their history. Now seriously WHO IN THE FLYING FUCK LOOKS AT HASHTAGS??? This must be the dumbest idea ever and is absolutely deceptive. My instinct screams a ton of people clicking at twitch videos at work and accidentally launch porn stream because they didn't notice a stupid hashtag

    I heard certain discussion about "why wouldn't twitch just make a special 18+ section and call it a day?". Apparently it's all about money. As long as there is a special 18+ category it is going to scare advertisers because porn sites don't necessarily have advertisements about nike sneakers or KFC so they want to cover their asses with hashtags

    I literally checked twitch just for the sake of it and yep, looks like the gears start turning. Artwork category is literally just Japanese/Chinese hentai and other streams I came across had these titles

    18+ TWERK OFF BETWEEN BEAUTIFUL WOMEN
     (18+) Hot gamergirl Your Eva Effie 🍑-> Check my !links

    I clicked on these and there wasn't even any 18+ warning page just like regular porn sites have

    This is not going to end well

    Please do NOT upload porn here and comply to all of the rules of this place here
