>iirc, there are actually limitations on texture sizes/colors/etc on n64. there are some devs that would stitch multiple textures together to create one "big texture"
That's what I was talking about, but cartridge space limits that option. The blurry textures are from the limited space in the texture cache and the bilinear filtering which prevents it from looking pixelated.
@beardalaxy I prefer blurry N64 textures over the texture warping that the PS1 had, but that's just a preference.
I wonder if N64 homebrew developers can now take advantage of much larger ROM sizes and have decent textures along with things like FMV.

@LukeAlmighty They're both controlled by the same shadow government.

A good game is a *system*. Systems simulate thinking you need elsewhere in life. It's like training.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tafl_games
If you're growing up to be a viking raider, a game about escaping the middle of a board to a corner is probably good beginner's practice.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_%28game%29
If you're a minor Chinese noble, who needs to conscript and lead an army of peasants on short notice, a game about territory control and logistic encirclement is probably goos practice.
Similarly, from the era when most games were made by developers primarily for themselves, true *simulators* are a fantastically good facsimile for whatever you want more practice in.
There are other great potentials with the electronic mediums... But mass market productions are coopted now just like music and film.
What can I say? Either you can play Star Control 2 and understand what there is to get out of it... Or not. Don't lump it with "Press F To Pay Respects".

Sometimes I think about how literally every community I was apart of went to shit as the people did too.
The wild part is realizing there are tons of people living The Boxed Life IRL; in trailer parks/shitty apartments/boomer basements across America (and other Anglosphere countries).

There are tons of burnout autists on the internet who wasted their life away in front of a computer screen, communities subverted by a website collapsing with no bunker or drama whores wrecking things, and promising projects turning to shit.
Honestly what keeps me going online at this point is trying to try to leave my mark somewhere, as much as I feel the time to enjoy the "good days" is passing hard, there's a giant void because of it now, moreso because everyone bitching about it has no drive other than to drive to the wagecage every single day or living as a druggie in a tent city, physically or metaphorically.
Are you going to make a mark in your life (long or short) or are you just going to flame out a druggie, trying to get your next fix, wondering why your friends who gossip like women in a parking lot won't talk to you anymore? It's not a hard choice but many people are just incapable of thinking of the future outside of getting another hit/fix.

@ArdainianRight @ChristiJunior @TheMadPirate@detroitriotcity.com @hachi @TheMadPirate@freespeechextremist.com @danielhudson @lolipunk2069 @noyoushutthefuckupdad Neither is this Daniel Hudson guy. He's clearly just mocking Linder just with an anti-video game stance instead of an anti-anime stance.
I also wonder if the person behind hachi is also the person behind Daniel Hudson.

This is why we should replace the left/right - auth/lib political compass with moral/amoral - honour/dishonour.
Interesting concept.@46da9d8ac399a2ec9b2fbbf8bfb51544f2d8cee9052b735dde66c91d3f56ab9f@mostr.pub @Bad_Banner@poa.st @Wyatt@poa.st @grey@poa.st
@noyoushutthefuckupdad @ChristiJunior @TheMadPirate@detroitriotcity.com @TheMadPirate@freespeechextremist.com I haven't played that one yet. I bet it's interesting playing an Ys game without Adol.
@William_The_Dragonborn @ChristiJunior @hachi @TheMadPirate@detroitriotcity.com @TheMadPirate@freespeechextremist.com @noyoushutthefuckupdad What kind of boss fight takes a fucking hour?!
@Indigo Vinyl sales have passed CD sales for the first time since the 1980s.
@TheMadPirate@freespeechextremist.com @ChristiJunior @TheMadPirate@detroitriotcity.com @noyoushutthefuckupdad If you want a good action-RPG series, go play Ys.
@TheMadPirate@freespeechextremist.com @ChristiJunior @TheMadPirate@detroitriotcity.com @noyoushutthefuckupdad I've played it. When you are in the overworld, the enemies don't even try to attack you unless you choose to fight them.
@TheMadPirate @ChristiJunior @noyoushutthefuckupdad Thank God he did. Overrated garbage. Shit characters, shit story, shit setting, shit combat.
@noyoushutthefuckupdad Not going to bother doing one because soul searching is too hard for me and a lot of categories like "guilty pleasure" simply don't apply to me at all.
