I cannot justify spending any money on games or Xbox game pass scenarios these days. All of that falls under "disposable income" and I have hardly any of that due to socio-political factors outside my control. Hence, my opinion is it is a waste of money and you are getting a negative experience because it is a waste of money.
However, when I used to have disposable income due to socio-political factors again not under my control, and I did game, and did get on networks like Xbox, there was always a division between people who gamed for the love of gaming versus people who gamed to try to impress people or else somehow made money off of gaming. Most modern gaming has gotten entirely away from gaming for the love/fun of gaming and gotten into franchising and "being the best" and a bunch of other shit that really was never exactly the core of gaming other than maybe getting the "high score" or something.
So, the joy is all "Drained out of it" and that's partly due to money, and so I'd say probably that is why you are feeling pissed off about the experience.

Reply to Would it be stretching it to call the Wii U controller inspired by the Dreamcast controller? by Wahaha
Dreamcast still has many patented things and also had more features.
Dreamcast had optional little lcd scrren and buttons for poker games, football strategy games, so multiplayers had secret bids
Dreamcast had rumble

I saw the IGN hands on, it doesn't look too bad. https://v2.incogtube.com/watch?v=oLtiRGTZvGM
Someone also 3D printed a mock up, it doesn't look too bad to hold. https://v2.incogtube.com/watch?v=JXj96a3TFOA

Too heavy and button placement looks very uncomfortable but I think if this succeeds it can be good for Linux

Button placement looks uncomfortable, though.

Playing this game in full HD resolution is pretty neat, I have to say.

If a reviewer gets a special copy of the software from the company, is it really the same as what anybody else gets? I don't know video games, but I'd expect any sane publisher respecting internet commerce ethics to turn off the throttling on the update speed, go light on the surveillance uploads, steer them away from the worst multiplayer idiots on the server, even shut off the Bitcoin mining subroutine! I bet reviewers see games like nobody's ever seen but them, and can't imagine the world isn't happy with the software. Am I wrong?

All reviewers or streamers who get pre-release copies should be treated as promotions, not reviews.

Damn, never heard of it. This reminded me of Ninja Gaiden, that was one of the most underrated cult classics of the Nintendo era, also the first game I know to feature "cinematic" cut scenes.

GeoHot is one of our few heroes. He may not be Alexandra Elbakyan, but he has been exposing the equivalence of slavery and "intellectual property" for a long time, in regard the PS3 in particular. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Hotz to get started.

The removal of Other OS really spurred the hackers to hack the PS3. It wasn't too long after that did the Other OS++ got released.

Reply to How Princess On Ice Was Changed Outside Japan by Wahaha
Changed.... more like defiled. A travesty, really.

Man, I miss CGRUndertow. It was rushed reviews if you can even call it that, but it was an entertaining take on video games.

Fuck that localization. This is why Nintendo is not any better than Sony IMO. I have accepted the fact that games developed from 2018 and on will be heavily censored. The SJWs has infiltrated the gaming industry too deep, it's like cancer taking over the functioning organs. They only thing we can do at this point is to wait for the gaming industry to crash, then the SJWs will move on to another bigger target (hopefully) and gaming will be the niche hobby that won't attract mainstream attention.
Hopefully when the rebirth happens, the devs are smart enough to implement Region Lock again. I learned Japanese to watch anime and play JRPG, SJWs and game urinalists aren't going to do that, combined with Region Locked game that requires you to either import the game and console from Japan or to find a jailbreakable console, the attention to these games will be much less.

Reply to comment by Wingless in Super Mario Kart Cover had to be changed because Bowser was too scary, apparently by Wahaha
All the characters use pretty much the same art, just flipped around at best. But Bowser was changed to not be as menacing and Yoshi's tongue got removed.
So I don't think that the aspect ratio of the box was the main concern for this change.

They look like two drawings by the same artist with different aspect ratios. Surely the change was dictated by the shape of the boxes?

Reply to Cover Comparison #6 by Wahaha
I wonder why it's always the US covers that are fucked up. Was there a mob telling Japanese developers that they could peddle their games only if the cover gets desecrated?

Reply to comment by TallestSkil in NieR Replicant’s Breast Reduction Censorship by Wahaha
That doesn't answer the question. It's a fact that they forbid the words trap and futanari because they are mad at those concepts.
Futanari and Traps have been part of anime for at least forty years. It never was an issue until the dick-cutters made it one.

I’m going to go right ahead and say no, that’s not the case. The delusions in media created the delusions in reality.

When did dick-cutting become a trend? Trannies are so mad at the concept of futanari and trap that in spaces dominated by them those words are now forbidden.

Not… no. Neither of those statements are true.

I don't really get why anyone would pay for consoles past PS2/NGC. Xbox has been shit since forever. PC gaming isn't any better either.
Personally, all I am doing is classic gaming and romhacks of classic games.
