I've recently gotten hooked on the Yakuza series. The whole series goes on an aggressive sale pretty regularly on Steam. I'd recommend starting with Yakuza 0.

Here's the original. Seems like the "Ape Escape" piece was added via a repost at some point. I was confused too why Nintendo systems were used instead of PlayStation as well.

This is still accessible from a Dreamcast if you have a working one! I did that at the beginning of this year. Requires either a broadband adapter or a DreamPi (that's what I used). You might be able to use the built in modem if you have a landline, but I didn't try that.

There's Nerrel who is both very entertaining and knowledgeable/informative about the N64 and emulation. He does use strong language so just wanted to point that out in case that isn't your cup of tea.

"Petersonian?"

Splatoon 1 on Pretendo! Got my Wii U hooked up earlier this week after the official servers shut down.

It's sad to see it go. As a game preservationist, being able to back up and emulate your games is so important to me. Not to mention a game like TotK can't even reach it's full potential on a retail Switch, and Yuzu allows that game to be played in 4K at 60fps if you have the computing power to drive it. Overall, it was probably the right call for Tropic Haze to give in to Nintendo now rather than battle them (as much as I didn't want to see Nintendo win this) because a court battle could have challenged emulation as we know it. A settlement avoids that for now. I don't support piracy at all, but I can't say it suprises me considering how Nintendo treats its customers and the gaming community as a whole.

Yeah! There was a mini-game called "Chao Adventure" that would let your chao go for a walk with little events that would happen along the way. It was also the only way to see your chao's stats and name them.

I'm all for the Scott Pilgrim memes

Garchomp!

Persona 3 FES. It was a pivotal game for me. Beating that game was my gateway to more challenging RPGs and made me start paying attention to voice actors due to the amazing performances in that game.

That's funny. But like the article says, it's not like it will do permanent damage, it's just displacing fat and soft tissue and natural head shape gets restored after a long enough break from wearing headsets.
