SEGA Master System Brawl.

Think Super Smash Bros., but with SEGA characters—and yes, it actually runs on real Master System hardware.

That’s right, if you’ve got a flashcart, you can load it up and play this full-blown crossover fighter on an 8-bit console from 1986. Pretty wild.

If everyone was refusing to provide official IDs to verify their identity and age on social platforms, and just let their account rot there unused instead, we would soon see platforms themselves starting to advocate against these invasive laws to recover their users.

Just saying.
They need you more than you need them.
Stop complying with invasive requests.

This is the most punk thing I've ever heard of. This guy got his physics phd then proceeded to use it to create open source plans for everything you need to start a civilization.

Definitely going in my digital apocalypse kit (wait, you don't have one?!), and this guy is now one of my heroes.

Found a really nice website that allows you to compare different handhelds by price, performance, which systems it an emulate, and even if it has ergonomic grips or not. Pretty good stuff if you're thinking of getting one.

fair comparison

Phil Fish's most basted with red sauce pills moment.

He was right, Japan's video game scene, from around 2002 to maybe 2011, did indeed suck, and they were getting absolutely blown away by an endless tidal wave of burgerclap perfection. Shit, even stupid ass gay Ubisoft was making better games, even Japanese devs knew it (then again one of those devs was perennial (perineal/anal) faggot and woke leftist piss fetishist Hideo "if you kill your enemies they win" Pissjima).

For every great Japanese game made in that decade, there are 10 western games that are just as good or superior. Call of Duty 1, 2, 4 (not 3), United Offensive, MW2, Halo 1 and Reach (2 and 3 were okay, whole different topic), Half-Life 2 and all of its episodes, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2, Team Fortress 2, Portal, Beyond Good and Evil, Star Wars KOTOR 1 and 2, the Mass Effect series (even 3?), Castle Crashers, Just Cause 1 and 2, Battlefield 3 and 4, Battlefield Bad Company 1 and 2, Sin Episodes (its 1 whole entire episode), Star Trek Elite Force 2 (better than the Halo games because it had tricorders), Saints Row 2 and 3, GTA 3, Vice City, San Andreas, Red Dead Redemption, Vanquish (sorry nips, this game is ours now), Fallout 3 and I guess maybe New Vegas more like Troon Vegas, Far Cry 3 and especially the massively underrated Far Cry 4, Call of Juarez Gunslinger, Assassin's Creed 1 and 2, Bioshock 1 and 2, Oblivion, Skyrim, the Batman Arkham games, Brutal Legend, the Guitar Hero/Rock Band games, Deus Ex, the original God of War games, Burnout 3 (the best car game yet to exist), Fable (you can kill your fucking wife as opposed to gay Silent Hill 2 where you're trying to find her), Gears of War (chainsaw women in the nuts), the Metroid Prime games (they are American), and of course Spiderman 2, and double of course Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, a game that provides you with a big titted foid that you can endlessly abuse psychologically and physically with zero consequences (I made her change her appearance a hundred times in a row before fully draining her of blood and slamming her face first into my flatscreen, NO masquerade violation haha take that ya lousy broad).

That's just off the top of my head, I know there's more. Not Fez or Braid though, those games were gay and stupid (also there ain't no point to them).

Meanwhile, the best JRPG of that era was and still is Half Minute Hero. All other JRPGs of the 2000s are just inferior versions of Half Minute Hero with the same gameplay but gayer and a million times slower and more butt ass boring faggotry with gay environmentalist and "killing people is actually le bad" storytelling. The only actual good stories in Japanese games at the time were the Resident Evil games and Ace Combat (I didn't play Silent Hill 2 because it is a fridening game and I don't like being fridened). MGS2 and 3 are for dumb gay retarded queers and monetized youtube essayists with silver play buttons, oh wait all of those things are redundant.

Japan only started making a comeback after inventing rollslop with Dark Souls, which is a westaboo game anyway, you're welcome Japan. The best game in that series is Elden Ring because I can just summon other people in to fight all the bosses for me while I sit back and sip on a refreshing La Croyx.

@SuperDicq @xerz remember when he asked for opinions on the fediverse about neurodivergence and political beliefs and then after he collected everyone's answers he just ignored all the ones he didn't already agree with in the article he wrote about it

@xerz@fedi.xerz.one Why the hell is Drew "14 year old girls should be required to have an IUD installed" DeVault complaining about FUTO now?

That's my job.

I've been complaining against FUTO for over two years on fedi by now.

My Mom asked me how to download videos from Youtube and I had to explain that Google introduced a bunch of changes about a week ago that make it harder.

I usually use JDownloader2, but that's too complex for her, so I found a couple websites that have updated to account for Youtube's new bullshit and still enable video downloads.

Watch as the Great EBT Shutdown of 2025(-2026?) does more to reduce junk food than RFK's entire tenure as HHS director.
