@nekofag You risk losing your career because someone online can snitch on your boss, but that's only if they also know where you work.

>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.

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.

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".
