>scalpers should be winning just on the antics of WATA alone, who led the pack in making the retrogaming hobby completely unaffordable.

Emulators, flash carts, and repro carts exist which is probably why people don't see them much as a problem, despite all the legal issues. Video game collecting doesn't seem as popular anymore and people just want to play the games regardless of the means.

People have realized that downloading a ROM or buying a repro cart is morally no different than buying a used game as the original developer/publisher isn't making money off of it either way.

>speedrunners not getting any votes is interesting, but ultimately proves how essential GDQ is as an institution, which is: not at all.

In retrospect, I should've lumped speedrunners with esport athletes. They both turn the hobby into a competitive sport, but speedrunning generally relies on playing the game in a way the developers never intended (you can argue the same with esports, but I feel it is way more prevalent in speedrunning). Speedrunners tend to do their own thing and they don't affect other people's enjoyment of a game.

@Tadano The threat of nuclear war has always been a psyop to get people to accept one-world government.

And before you ask, no, I'm not one of those schizos who believes that nuclear weapons are a hoax. I can't see how the two bombs dropped on Japan were fake, but I feel like the whole threat of nuclear war after that is and has always been just a psyop.

@Weeble It's like having a conversation with Richard Stallman.

@Indigo @LukeAlmighty You could also try Wasteland 2 and Wasteland 3, which seem to be the spiritual successors to Fallout. (Ironic given that Fallout was meant to be a spiritual successor to the first Wasteland)

@Indigo @LukeAlmighty I never played it either. In fact I never played the first two games, but from fans of the classic Fallout games, they seem to agree that it is more of a worthy Fallout 3 than the actual Fallout 3, despite it being a spin-off.

I'll confess that I really liked Fallout 3 when I first played it only because I never played anything as open-world as that game prior. The closest to that for me were the Zelda games. I even went as far as claiming it as one of my favorite games of all time. Though I haven't replayed it since, so I can't say if it still holds up.

I also liked Fallout New Vegas, but I feel like that game is just an over-glorified political compass test which isn't always a bad thing, but I've seen online discussions saying things like "if you choose anything, but the Legion, you are just a soy-chugging Redditor". Discussions about that game just lead to political flame wars, at least from my experience.

I absolutely refuse to play Fallout 4 or Fallout 76, and any future game after that.

@Indigo @LukeAlmighty What about Fallout Tactics?

@LukeAlmighty I'm pretty sure it was made clear that the TV show was a separate canon.

@LukeAlmighty Why are you even watching that garbage?

Created a texture for the extra life item. It looks kind of weird. I tried to make it look like a stick figure with a plus sign, indicating an "extra life", but it turned out kind of odd.

Finally, the key is no longer using the coin sprite as a placeholder and now has it's own texture.

@giru What about Pxtone Collage?

@ArdainianRight Another 44 ritual, as always.

@djsumdog Were you seriously asked to download the Facebook app back in 2004?
