I haven’t really played any romhacks besides one. A while ago I played through the Gold Quest for Ocarina of Time. It’s like an upgraded version of Master Quest: remixed dungeons, enemies added in different locations, items have been moved to different locations, and some changes to the world outside of dungeons. Great for anyone that wants a more challenging version of OOT.

I’ve also been watching a friend play through a Pikmin romhack called Bikmin 269. This game is straddling the line between a shitpost and a fever dream. You collect NFTs and Bitcoins, the ground texture is layered images of Shaggy from Scooby Doo, the space ship is a T-posing Luigi, and one type of Pikmin is a “mushroom” that looks suspiciously penis-like… It’s a nightmare in the best possible way

Isn’t it crazy that you have to murder and steal in a game like GTA V??? Wouldn’t the game be so much better if Franklin just got a regular 9-5 and you spent the entire game either sitting in traffic or sitting in a cubicle?

Wasn’t expecting to see II from Sleep Token here. Fuck ya 🤟

Colosseum: Road to Freedom

It’s a PS2 game where you play as a gladiator. There’s plot where you rise up the ranks to duel other gladiator camps’ champions for a chance to spar with Ceasar, and you get involved in a plot to murder him with a couple different endings based on what decisions you make.

The gameplay is some fun button mashing and the battles are fucking rad. Bladed weapons do more damage to unarmored opponents, blunt weapons can break limbs and have a better chance to knock off armor, curved swords and flails can reach around shields and armor. There’s “hunting” fights were you go up against bulls or tigers. And then the mock battles. They set up like a fake city or fake boats in the colosseum to recreate real battles from wars that the gladiators fight in.

There’s even a glitch where you bypass all of the endings and the game just continues forever with random fights at the colosseum every couple of days. Makes me think the devs were planning on making the game endless, but didn’t finish it or it got cut for some reason. But yeah, I really want a new gladiator game

On GameCube, I can see that Legend of Zelda Wind Waker, Mario Party 6, Smash Bros Melee are all unavailable. On N64, Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, Pokemon Stadium are also unavailable

We having hamburger tonight cuz that steak is SHREDDING

Definitely Vimm’s Lair for me. I still play a lot of GameCube and N64 games and Vimm’s was always my go-to place for finding roms. They got hit with a lot of DMCAs and take down notices, and had to remove the vast majority of their Nintendo library along with anything related to Sega and Lego. The site is still up, but it’s like visiting a graveyard now

If your looking for a shooter with a flow state, give Neon White a look. It’s a FPS platformer where you pick up gun cards and you choose if you want to use the card as a gun to shoot demons, or throw it away for a movement ability (double jump, dash, etc.) as you try to get to the end of the level as fast as possible.

If the platforming and racing doesn’t sound like it’s for you, I saw someone else brought up Ultrakill and I wanted to recommend that as well

That whole thing looks shady as hell. To me it seems like the whole interview process is meant to collect all the data they can about you, whether it is to sell the info or to hold on to it for… reasons. Also a private, invite/interview entry only community that strictly prohibits the use of a VPN or TOR and is based around sharing media? Bruh. Either they are sharing something a lil more illicit than your standard rips of Hollywood movies, or this is a honeypot to catch the kinds of people who share that kind of stuff. Everything about this is all red flags and alarm bells

Why wait when you can look at reviews and Ubisoft’s fuck-ups right now? The game was released on consoles and Epic at the end of August, it’s just the Steam release that’s in November

I think it’s cool that something like this is getting attention, but if every single “games journalist” is gonna write about it Sony is going to have to file a lawsuit against them

This feels like the start of some marketing pitch for one of those libertarian crypto tech-bros pod city things out in the middle of the ocean. I think I’ll pass

Whæt the fuck? How common is that?

Hell ya! I have a hard drive in mine too. There are definitely modchips on the market to get the hard drive to work, but the easiest way (and what I did) is to just use a memory card with some custom software on it called McBoot

I’m really speaking for myself here, but my main issues were the micro transactions that are in the game. Before the game was released, it was announced that you can use real money to purchase wakestones to revive yourself, rift crystals to hire stronger pawns, a portcrystal to fast travel, and even to change your character’s appearance (as well as some other items). After the game’s release people quickly realized that buying these were not necessary at all and they could all be obtained easily through normal play, but the damage was already done. It left a sour taste in my mouth and made it seem like the devs or the publisher were not confident in the game and felt like they needed to add a way to milk some more cash out of the people who bought it.

Ain’t that some fucking clickbait. To save everyone else a click, there is no remaster. All the article says is that there is a chance that the PS5 Pro will raise the fps from 30 to 60. And the author is calling that a “remaster”

And everyone clapped!

Awesome! Hope you enjoy them

Aw hell yeah, NCD is leaking again o7
