i recently got really into beat 'em ups thanks to streets of rage 4. so far i played through the whole capcom and konami catalogue and some smaller indie ones (mostly modern ones) and i have to say, 1989s Crime Fighters left the biggest impression on me and a really fucking bitter taste in my mouth. Maybe it was just the emulator or ROM i used but holy fuck that game is not fun.

When i was a kid,There was this rundown arcade near thw park that had golden axe,mortal kombat,a game that i think was metal slug,outrun and a bike game i dont remember the name of. We would go there every weekend and being poor little shits we would give all our coins to the best player and just watch him play hoping to find some secret stage or character.I remember mortal kombat 2(or 3) had a lot of secrets.

Most of the kids i spoke of died due to a heroin epidemic that hit my town during the early 2010s.We moved away from that neighbourhood over two decades ago but i recently went back to see if the arcade building was still there and they had built a highway in its place.as in a full 8 lane highway.the old neighbourhood wasnt the same either, all the locals have moved away and were replaced with immigrants from the countryside, meth dealers and methheads all over the place,dirty grimey streets filled with stray dogs,people speaking a language i couldnt understand etc.There was another arcade near our old house but some restaurant had turned it into a warehouse.I came across an old shopkeeper and i asked him about my friends, most moved away,some died, others had simply vanished.Thats when i realized that the world i knew no longer exists.

I play old games because i want to go back to a better time, when things werent so complicated.

Favourite retro computer? Mine is the Fujitsu FM Towns, mostly for its pioneering use of CDs and its Japanese computer games being superior to their PC-98 counterparts, although it died off a lot sooner. Just another blip in the Japanese computer scene.

>Favourite retro computer?
Well, I can't name one, because I like many designs; also I like aesthetic of old tech in general.
But I think that the most favourite computers for me are PC-98 (because of hentai touhou games and it's weird architecture) and some soviet computers (Agat and Poisk especially).

When it comes to "Hybrid Mac" for me it's the 6100/66.
I also have a soft spot for any laptop with a built-in trackball rather than a pad or nipple.

I've seen an old X250 and a X240 both going for about 100 bucks and I thought I'd pick it up. I need a cheap laptop for casual use and school and I'd rather spend money on a desktop than burn a hole in my wallet to get a desktop replacement that's about as portable as an old microcomputer. But is the old Thinkpad craze online legit? I'm always suspicious of trends and fads and nothing is more suspect than China bashing fools circlejerking over old machines. I've never owned a Thinkpad but some basic research online and it seems there is something to the hype train but are old Thinkpads really worth it or just a meme? Should I save to buy a newish model? And what's a good old Thinkpad for my use case? I just want something small (14 inches max), portable, and relatively modern and durable that can emulate some older PSOne games and run Linux.

My X230 is still doing pretty well for itself. The main issue it suffers is how low the screen resolution is, it gets difficult to browse some of the more obnoxious site designs out there. Hardware's hanging in there though. I don't know about FreeBSD but on Linux you can even squeeze basic Vulkan support out of the iGPU.

I had a T420s that I used as my main laptop for some time. It was pretty much perfect, save for the battery life being awful. If you're pretty much always next to an outlet, as I was, it wasn't a problem, but otherwise that would probably be a headache. I believe I got it for 120 bucks CAD.

How old is old, I picked up a P52 on corp clearance. I don't care about the "applized" design because everything in the market is built like that now anyway. It's purely a practical rugged workstation with a decent modern spec and 90% of its use is docked regardless.

There's that whole thing with the very old ones, debates about keyboards, hardware, lenovo and so on. Going down that road is very different than just buying one from the last 5 years that's still pretty modern (but lacks a lot of the classic design). Some people pride themselves on doing as much as they can on something built during Windows 7, but the limitations and shortcomings, especially with things like the screens and the processor - it's strictly for the enthusiast, who's forgotten the reason we did this to begin with was to buy decently built bulk corporate discounted modern spec notebooks.

I use a 440p for my mobile computing needs, it works very well. I run gentoo on it, and after a memory upgrade, it has no problems really. Old games even run smooth.

Let's talk about Treasure!

I started playing Dynamite Headdy on the Genesis Collection after reading about it in Legends of 16-bit Game Development. It's a lot of fun, but I stalled out hard right after Puppet Tower because, well…I'm no damn good at it. I need to get way better at aiming diagonally consistently before I'll be able to beat this level.

Then I picked up childhood favourite Bangai-O again, and raced through it until about stage 40, where I slowed down because it wasn't quite as fun. I'm not stopping, just trying to not burn out. Riki might be the hero, but I find Mami's lasers a lot more useful - homing missiles are good when you have one enemy in a wide-open area, but if there's multiple enemies then the bounce lasers are actually more useful because they won't get distracted. And I just really love watching the lasers bounce around; they're beautiful.

Anyone else enjoy some Treasure games lately?

I really liked Mischief Makers. It had interesting movement mechanics and overall felt like a really unique game. I'd seen it a lot at game rental places when I was younger but only actually played it several years ago. I've been wanting to play some of Treasure's other stuff but haven't got around to it.

I've actually played a bit of Sin and Punishment too. That isn't a game that I ever remember was made by them. And I know of Ikaruga, though I haven't played it, and have yet to actually get into shmups.

They don't seem to be dead but they haven't released anything new in over a decade at this point.

because yuffie is only 16 and 5'2" tall, weighing in at approximately 90 pounds, and even though that is legal in 98% of the world, square must follow the california rules of consent which is 26 years old, at least 5'5", and 180+ pounds.

Gotta hand it to them presenting the illusion of choice in the game's dating mechanic when there's only ever 1 option actually built into the story. Just like the original.

Does this mean that he's coming back to Capcom? The mythic Creator of Mega Man needs to return to sit on his thrown and to release his creative juices in the form of another Mega Man title!

I just beat it and I want to share some of my thoughts.

It is very good HOWEVER it is my opinion that they absolutely should've ditched the multiplayer aspect completely for two reasons

1. It took away resources from making more sp content
2. The message system partly antithetical to figuring things out for yourself. A mimic chest? There's a warning for that.

Everyone should play the game through offline first and use online mode for later playthroughs.

True, but there were still some useful messages around the place. You'd eventually find "try finger but hole" and "fort night" but occasionally you'd get some decent ones.

I also played through it for the first time recently, and I kinda missed the online component (was playing prepare to die edition, not the remaster). A lot of stuff in fromsoft games can be very unclear and/or convoluted, so I think players sharing info with each other is a fine mechanic. Better than having them look shit up on the wiki when they get stuck.

 No.1567

OP if you hate the multiplayer try out the "shadow of the eclipse" mod. It removes the online features and instead replaces it with new singleplayer content which is all pretty good.
