Pintle and Gudgeon sound like terrible children's mascots from England

They had a show people vaguely remember from the 80s

So you're telling me a sega saturn controller in 1997 could turn the TV on and change channels plus change the inputs, but it's 2023 and no video game console controller can do that?

Technology has not moved forward, only sideways.

Also please do me a favor and drop a like on this feature request that would allow me to completely silence notifications on this, without deleting the whole post. TBH I stopped caring about this a couple of days ago and I want my doots to be about sega rally or Dovi's ass and not someone saying Wii U again.

The only other console I can think of off the top of my head that can do this is the Wii U

Which means that convenience and good ideas are bad, consumers dont want them, I guess

Anyways, yet more proof the Saturn is the best console.



I've been doing that thing this week where I've been buying things to add to my little Goblin collection to assuage anxiety and depression.

Anyways look at my cool new vinyls! Deltarune ch 2 and Chrono Cross hellllll yeah!



This is Decker, a freeware game from 2002 that I played an extremely large amount of. And I don't even mean like just in 2002, last time I sat down and played this was for an entire day back in 2021 lol

I kinda compare every cyberpunk hacking indie game to this subconsciously in my brian. It's primitive. It's kinda ugly. But it's weirdly engaging. You build up stats, design software upgrades, buy and build hardware upgrades, all while living rent to rent and hacking corporations to do so. Your missions can be anywhere from finding files hidden in the server, to going to a specific node and pressing a button. The servers are randomly generated, it's got a roguelike vibe to it.

There's lots of "Hacker indie games" these days, and I like the vibe of them a lot. But I will always go back to this.
