cause in case a lot of you forgot, marvel and cvs2 players specifically were really mean and shitty to the flycast dojo devs about *their* unrealistic expectations not being met, for days on end, so maybe the sticking point here, a little bit, is that the fandom maybe needs to chill the hell out

you are not actually angry at these devs, you are angry at capitalism. you are angry at the forces that crunch people to throw products out there before they're really ready for prime time. and a lotta you really need to check yourselves before spreading whatever weird myth some youtuber told you

I remember doing a setup like this 12 years ago on Twitch for N64 games and all I got was called out on r/badstreamsetups
It's kinda funny how much people want to feel like they're in a place instead of a high fidelity stream now

so many legendary music history sites that look like this, we don't value our culture part bazillion
OTD 1969 James Brown drags his road-weary band into King Studios in Cincinnati to record. Drummer Clyde Stubblefield bangs out a drum pattern Brown crafts into "Funky Drummer." Minor hit but it forms a foundational beat in Hip-Hop. The bldg remains vacant & standing but King left in 1971.

The number of people who simultaneously have noticed how this country just gets shittier and shabbier and more necessities and comforts become unaffordable boutique services but also think Japan is based because it's not diverse is bleakly funny
the actual suicide of the West will be combining a rapidly aging population with hostility to migrants. however we must give credit to East Asia, especially Japan, for pioneering this model.

archive.org has every issue of Flux, and i strongly recommend looking at their "Top 100 Games of All Time" list as a fascinating time capsule of that period. All i'll say here is, the list had no Mario games at all but DID have Earthworm Jim & Ground Zero Texas (a random FMV game)

Jaquays was so influent to tabletop RPGs that "Jaquaysing" became a verb for designing complex, non-linear dungeons.
