this was not my idea of gender abolition but sure as hell I would welcome it
- RE2 (1998) - hard to beat. great in every aspect. having 2 scenarios that affect each other is sooo good that i want more games doing that. extra modes are quite challenging and fun to play.
- REmake (2002 GC) - perfect in almost every way. I'm very sad that there were no more games in that style since for me it's probably the perfect survival horror experience. I still like the original but the remake improved almost every single aspect of it.
- RE3 (1999) - it has a bunch of problems but is probably the funnier one to play. making up challenges to finish the game gives it an arcade-like feeling. nemesis keeps being scary even when i have every place he can appear memorized
honorable mention to outbreak. i only played it in single player mode but i'm sure it would probably enter the list if i had the chance to play multiplayer. between it and REmake were two very good ways of moving the franchise forward and keeping the formula interesting. sadly, they went the action route so we got okay-ish games (4 is great although it still ranks way below the classics for me) instead of hypotetical masterpieces.
Peace Walker has some very good things but the game is either hit or miss. it's very short missions oriented that are meant to be replayed multiple times. it has a couple of mobile-game-like minigames that are fun and weird to play. it totally feels like a portable game even on the remaster versions. it's recommended to play it with multiple players if possible.
story is enjoyable even if it's a mess. it has some questionable points but overall it's okay. it also replaces the codec calls with tapes that are literally meant to be heard on the go
i think is more likely to be a "mainstream gamers do not like this" line of thought, like with motion controllers. DS and 3DS did really well, but they had always the "casual" label (analogue to the wii and motion controllers) so "mainstream gamers" stayed away from them. even with the wiiu, that had native dual screens, nintendo tried to cater to a "mainstream gamers" audience and there are too few games that actually uses the dual screen effectively.
there might be more to this, like casual audiences moving to mobile games and only "gamers" buying consoles, but i'm not educated enough in the topic to make a judgement there.
tangentially, but
loading minigames patent
what the fuck is this??? how did someone actually accepted this?? how did I not hear about it before? this is silly on so many levels. like, patentings characters jumping or so (don't doubt something like this exist, but also don't want to know)
the sp was clearly superior to the gba in almost anything, but it was a pain to play with (for me at least). i could have long sessions on a gba without any problem, but playing with the sp for long time was painful and uncomfortable. it was okay for rpg or games that did not require high reflexes or button mashing
I have been saying for years that dual screen (or asymetric screens. can't really remember the name) was one of the best ideas in gaming that got fully abandonned no clue why. there are just a few games outside the ds line that actually did that and they were great (GZ did great. wiiu having two screens by default did not use it as much as it should). the DS games having usualy the map or sometimes inventory management on the secondary screen was simply great. many games would totally benefit from that
yay, the only ps4 game I ever had interest in will be playable without having to buy a sony console, nice
I hear "Lucho, no estas solo, carajo" which would translate to "Lucho, you are not alone". Lucho is a way of referring to people called Luis (Luis Arce being the president's name) and Carajo would be something close to "damn" as a possitive expression to accentuate the idea (not really sure how to translate it tbh)
unbound is a software that you can run anywhere to have a caching dns. opennic is a project of dns servers you can connect to to resolve dns records (think in google dns servers but run by the community). two different problem spaces. you can even use both at the same time
and non-us billions please
been thinking for a while about getting one (although probably a 1000, since I prefer the feeling overall) but i am a bit worried about the battery life and the size not being as great as I remember. also I don't really game that much these days so it would probably be forgotten soon. that and alway wanting a vita makes this decision very hard
i still have to divide my music into "electronic touhou" and "metal touhou"
because they would ignore anything that is not in english
is this really the feeling people outside mexico has about the situation? as someone that lived a big part of his mandate, and part of claudia's mandate on mexico city, I really feel like it was just a neoliberal government disguised as left populism. the biggest changes that I can remember were giving way too much power to the military and ignoring a bunch of problems.
there were a couple of things that I remember being good, but none of them looks remarkable enough to make me thing about socialism. socdem at most and I'm not even sure.
that said, maybe living the period from inside gives me some kind of short sighted view, but a bunch of people there that I know that has leftist tendencies (most of them anarchists, no clue why) have a similar readings of the situation
as far as I am aware of, she has been on the "violence is bad. both sides" side. amlo has been in the "is not a genocide but i won't take an explicit stance" side, so I guess that is part of the reason she has not said anything concrete.
seeing that screen brings traumatic flashbacks because it usually meant that the new pirated cd we just bought was not working
i mean, the main reason this type of "representation" appeals to chuds is because the "lifeless plastic doll" part and the rest is just part of the stereotype. it's very hard to find chuds that actually like real women
i always mix this comm with the trans one and I thought this post was about some type of hormones when reading the title
you have to be careful when talking about Morena because a lot of what they do is based on optics.
they created social programs where many could be summarized at giving money directly to a group of people but at the same time they removed others or restricted budgets to organizations that were more helpful to some other group (the one i remember the most was the shelters for women victims of violence where they reduced the budget to the point a lot of them had to close or to survive on donations). actual reduction of poverty might be true in data, but most of the people i know at Mexico concurr that situation is either the same as before or worse overall
also, a bunch of the infrastructure projects were plain incomplete, didn't solve the problem they were planned to solve and they could be traced to profits for some big magnate.
this is the party that is actively blocking the legislation to change the work week from 48h to 40h so calling them a Burgeois party is very well deserved
worst of all is that all of that was the old Morena. current one adopted a SHITLOAD of politicians from other parties just because it's pretty much confirmed they are going to win the next elections so everyone wants a piece of the cake. Sheinbaum is directly tied to the inmoviliary groups that are, quite literal, draining the mexico city dry and she is also tied to a lot of big capitalist entities (like, she had a conversation with blackrock about investments in mexico).
just to be clear, the other parties are probably worse. the communist party is extreme small and it has little to no power. there are some anarchist groups organizing protests but they are still on the small side so they cannot make big changes yet. by being so close to the us, the red scare was also very strong so most people believe comunist bad, anarchist bad and so on
