wonder if this is where the farmer from Balan wonderland came from

how was the game?
a good return to form or “cautious optimism”

…now there are two of them!

well (not sure if its irony or not) Old sly is partially to blame for how silly rambo and rocky evolved into as at least post Rambo II (where the overtopness was because of Sly’s notes and rewrites

honestly im kind of glad my folks (mainly me grandma(s) and my pa (who is by CHUDs definition a “many man” ie worked a blue collar job and such) taught me that society doesn’t deserve to “give me everything” for being white male (though in a sort genderblind/raceblind way)

I see (and agree) with your point
though i feel like if that kind of copycat didn’t die off over the 2010s via stagnation, than the expose of what happened with TGWTG was the all in one killing blow

well as i said (and something that dan from folding ideas more or less agrees with me on)
if James were to retire AVGN forever and focus on being a husband and father

he has more than earned that 10 fold

tbh its a nice change of pace from the sterotype that all retro games are a nintendo

like how boomers and Gen Xers call all modern games a “playstation”

tbh i been drifting away from DA and now kind of moved on from it since it open the flood gates to AI slop and rivaling twitter in being the poster child for dead internet theory
(like only dms i get on there are from bots)

funny thing is that he also blames higher pay wages, benefits, and a broad “over regulations” as another reason he cant find a job

yet despite railing ageist “billionaires” he still wont blame capitalism or folks like elon what so ever

this alongside BJ Blazkowicz depiction in the machine games trilogy (especially old blood and new order) is what inspired me to make
Khan a war vet who’s ptsd is never to made or treated as a farce
