  • Super Mario Bros 3. It barely makes the cutoff, releasing jn 1990 in North America. But man, it is something special. I completely understand why people prefer Mario World, but Mario 3 feels like the peak of the 2d franchise for me, and everything after that is just reiterating what it perfected.

    Sonic 2 and Crash Bandicoot 3 are up there, too. The first time I played Crash especially, my mind was blown. There are several games that scratch the same itch as Mario and Sonic, but I’ve not found a single game that feels like Crash Bandicoot. Gamers were spoiled in the 90s. …unless you bought from a company that wasn’t Nintendo or Sony.



  • I think the decisions in NV are all grey enough to prevent decision fatigue. Oftimes, you’re picking the best of several bad options.

    So sorry about your friend. Loss can make some things too hard to revisit. I’d not dare to speak for your loved one, but I would say that if I were to pass away, I’d certainly hope my friends played my favorite game. I’d probably take some time off from whatever afterlife there is just to watch.











  • For context, this paragraph is lifted from SomethingAwful’s Fur Trapper Saga, a series of fictional advertisements put out by two fictional fur trappers, who are competing in business.

    While one of the trappers, PB Fouke, tries to sell his business on dedication, JF Swanton sells his furs on the promise that he is so cruel of course he’s going to have the best furs.

    Doesn’t make it less offensive, but the point being that it was written in character as a fur trapper from the 1800s who regarded himself as much more cruel than all else.
