Re: Are Cuphead and other difficult games ableist?

There should indeed be laws concerning the topic like there are for movies. I think there was such a proposal in the US, but it was postponed after publishers pressured for it to be delayed. And, as far as I know, there's nothing regarding the subject in Europe.

Re: I've decided - I will sell my collection

I think it makes perfect sense and I think you'll be much happier once you do it. After all, what are those sealead games doing for you? Do they really make you happy? I bet you have lots of games that you don't care about, not even in a collecting sense.

Re: Being a Gamer VS Being a Retro Gamer

Well, most people who play old games do stick to the good ones. Only the dedicated folks play the ones that are sub-par, in most cases. Well hello there. Have you heard the good word, friend? Shaq-Fu ain't that bad. Go away! You are an offense to the real Retrogaming God: The 4th tier JRPG that did...

Re: Do you find the old console games slow?

I recently read that infamous old Molyneux quote again. "Populous II runs at 17 frames per second, as fast as most shooters do today".

Re: Erik Twice | Why I stopped loving JRPGs

I like this article. It echoes back reasons why I don't get into RPG's much anymore; especially the part about how the genre didn't need to be that way...or rather need to stay that way. It's like most rpg's stagnated because it's what gamemakers thought it's what we wanted (and maybe we did). Anyw...
