I keep telling my friends this. It was incredibly simple to do. And you can start with only a couple smaller 1 or 4 TB drives and still end up starting a decent collection

This is a larger problem in our society at large: the financial class basically strangling creativity in search of ever increasing secure profit.

It sucks because the talent is all there to make these games and be creative but big money doesn't want to take a chance.

So they shit out games that just reprise other things, remake old games, etc. for that more certain dollar. It's no longer about making the best game of Z genre. It's about ticking the most boxes to please the most people so the game will sell everywhere enough to fill greedy men's pockets with money.

PS2 was definitely a huge jump to me, too

The biggest detail for me being that characters blinked outside of cut scenes in higher resolution (for the time) games like The Bouncer.

It stopped feeling like leaps after that. And even that, for me, felt more like polish.

But I love the discussion and I like seeing where and how people draw the lines!

I have friends my age who won't play games in anything below 1440p, 120Hz and I'm like... You are denying yourself a whole world of awesome games and experiences...

It's sad how true this rings.

And I'm not sure how much other people understand about how thick the bubble is that they've been submerged into.

One of their main problems is never thinking correctly in the aggregate. It is "good" and "efficient" for a single isolated company to exploit its pool of labor in this way.

But in the aggregate, it is as self destructive as the paradox of thrift.

With less and less going to more and more people, there become less and less consumers to prop up the machine. And it starts to collapse under its own stinking putrescence.

And again, the information came from the University of Zadar, not of Bradford.

Here's a link to their facebook post where they told everyone about it.

You can absolutely criticize the sensationalism of them using the word city in the good.is article and I agree. But to say that it is a "total fabrication" when there's roads, tools and signs of human habitation is a bit of a stretch.

This.

More people need to understand that the debt of a sovereign nation isn't analogous to that of a household.

Public sector debt is private sector surplus.

Gotta love the old "it's society at large's fault" even though they knowingly have let the world burn for their profit as well as suppressed innovation and information that could have helped alleviate our issues.

Oh and literally bribe our government to write laws to make them unaccountable.

Fuck these people. They are monsters.

If they want to have more rights than real people, they should have more accountability and responsibility, not less.

Trust me. That's all you really need to remember haha.

If you want to see good Spawn from that era, watch the cartoon. That was well done.

I never said nor implied anything about any other system. I spoke about capitalism.

The one I remember playing the most was Virtua Cop with the light gun. Loved that one!
