Another day, another company completely destroying any goodwill they had. https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2023/09/game-developers-unite-against-unitys-new-per-install-pricing-structure/

Video game stories have come a long way since the "Defeat the villain and save the princess" days. What games would you say have great stories?

Has a game ever made you cry? If so, which ones?

Hard to believe, but 10 years ago, Microsoft's Xbox One was revealed. I still remember exactly where I was when it happened, and I still remember the absolute shitstorm that followed. The XBone never really recovered from the absolutely disastrous reveal.

Would you say that Sony and Microsoft made Nintendo leave the traditional console market and start making handheld/console hybrids?

I remember the dark days of the Wii U, when there were calls for Nintendo to stop making consoles and go software only, and people were pointing out every Nintendo console besides the Wii had sold less than the previous one. Meanwhile, Microsoft has NEVER won a console gen in terms of sales...

The other day, I bought an original Gray Playstation from a game store. On my new (New to me) PS1, I keep getting the "Memory Card/CD Player" screen, even though my discs aren't that scratched. Could it just be the age of the console?

Did you know that back in 1983, Nintendo made a deal with Atari to help them sell the NES outside of Japan, only for the deal to fall through at the last minute? What would the gaming landscape have been like if the deal had stuck? Would Atari still be making consoles today?

I thought a thread where we post old video game ads would be fun.

Someone on another site told me that people and publishers "immediately flocked" to the PS1. Anyone who was old enough to be there, what was the hype for the PS1 like? How would you rate the launch lineup?

Nintendo is a very successful business, and gaming wouldn't be the same without them. Unfortunately, they've had their share of missteps. What do you consider the worst decisions Nintendo have ever made? My pick would be sticking with cartridges for the N64, causing them to lose third party...

I know Apple already tried their hand at the console market in the 90s with the Apple Pippin, and it flopped, but do you think they would be more successful if they tried again? Keep in mind that Apple is a MUCH bigger company now than they were back when the Pippin came out, and they have MUCH...

Not really sure where to put this. A few minutes ago, my computer froze while I was trying to watch a YouTube video. I had to turn the monitor on and off, then go to a different window to get my screen to unfreeze again. This happened a couple of weeks ago, too. How do I fix this?

Inspired by SNESDrunk's "Unconventional Ways to Play Classic Super Nintendo Games" videos. (You should definitely check SNESDrunk out). Finding alternate ways of playing a game, whether by doing a self-imposed challenge, or just playing a game differently than it was intended, are a good way...

How would you feel if Nintendo stopped making consoles and put their games on other platforms? I don't know if I could get used to Nintendo games being on PS5 or Series X.

As we all know, Nintendo and Sony were working on a SNES add-on, but Nintendo made a deal with Phillips, and that led to the PlayStation. I hear about how Nintendo betrayed Sony, but why is Nintendo in the wrong? Sony was going to get the rights to Nintendo's characters. It's not like Sony was...

I got a PS2 earlier this year. What do you think of my collection so far?

What popular game franchises have you never played? Resident Evil for me.

What game mechanics do you consider outdated?

What do you think of Nintendo dropping out of the console business and making games for other platforms? Would it be a good business move for them?

How is Nintendo successful when they're consistently behind the times, from not using CDs to having bad online?

What games have you beaten so far this year? Banjo-Kazooie Mega Man 3

Oh look, a game company doing something shitty. Must be another day ending in y. Take Two has issued takedowns for mods of Grand Theft Auto games, some of which have existed for years. https://gtaforums.com/topic/973749-take-two-changes-the-agreement-modding-take-downs

Even the best games ever made have THAT part, whether it's a level, a boss, puzzle, whatever, that are so annoying and frustrating that it brings the rest of the game down. For me, it's the Anor Londo Silver Knights in Dark Souls 1. If you try to block the arrows, you'll get knocked back...

Heard a buzzing noise when I turned on my computer, so turned it off and on several times. Pretty sure it's not the HDD, because my computer has an SSD. Computer's barely a month old. There's no way something's wrong with it already. Heard the buzzing noise again the other day and today. I...

I was just curious as to what mouse and keyboard you use. I use a Dell wired mouse and a Microsoft 600 keyboard.

I have a Microsoft 600 keyboard, which I've had for a couple of years now, and I was wondering how long keyboards last.

If you don't feel like building your own computer and would rather get a prebuilt, what are the best major computer brands? The worst?

I got this computer today. Is it any good? Anyone have any experience with Acer computers? I plan on using it to surf the web and watch streams. I ask because I've heard of Acer products breaking soon after purchase, and I've heard horror stories about Acer's customer service...
