The few select people who have played the underrated Phantom 2040 (SNES/Genesis) can finally rest because I figured out the game's over 20 ending variations and how to trigger them.
I made a FAQ which will hopefully help millions of present and future gamers

it's genuinely stunning to me you'd keep a game in the hopper for a decade and then do huge layoffs after a single month. a month is nothing in live service terms. less than nothing.

Hey everyone, just wanna let you know that ROMEO IS A DEADMAN releases the same day, is $10 cheaper and is an original game.
Review: Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is a remake built on disdain, not reverence, looking to fix a game that wasn’t broken, and ending up with little to show for itself.

I really want people to think about this. After all the insane lawsuits, all the threats, all the bullshit weve seen from this admin and the targets who kneeled in fear, an average Joe called the president a Pedophile protector to his face and didn't get touched. That's the Power of a union.

To everyone saying "we should go back to forums" - FYI:
Did you know that forums.insertcredit.com 1) does not require you to scan your face 2) is nice and slow paced 3) has a cool established community already?
Just mentioning that today in case it is of interest to anybody.

The attract loop for Amok, a Sega Saturn mech blast 'em up from 1996.
Developed by Lemon, published by Scavenger, and with music by Jesper Kyd.
This is a pretty damn cool game that uses voxels for its graphics rather than polygons, giving it a look that I more associate with Novalogic sims.

This episode took MILLIONS of viewers away from CBS during Super Bowl XXVI’s halftime to the point in which it forced the NFL to make big changes for Super Bowl halftime entertainment. 🏈
