we've basically come full circle with Oblivion (hexbear.net)

Oblivion was The first AAA game to have microtransactions and now Oblivion Remastered could possibly be the last AAA game to be priced at $50-60 dollars.

with the Switch 2 being a success, we could see a rise in prices for all AAA Games. to 80-90 dollars

WHEN games do inevitably become 80-100 dollars, I'll definitely be buying more Indie games

95% of modern games especially AAA titles for switch/consoles are pure, unabashed simulacra. Why pay 80 dollars for a game that is the less authentic version of things that came out 5-20 years ago?

You can always just go touch the green stuff

This is why I'm gunna' try to catch all the 'mons in gen 3 this summer.

whats your plan for the gen 2 starters? colloseum or completing the emerald national dex 3 times

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

Honestly don't have a plan yet, but I guess I could do either. Probably Colosseum.

I have:

a childhood GameCube with an ODE (so I can play XD, Colosseum, Channel, Box)
also childhood GB(A) Player attachment
my sister's model 1 Game Boy Advance I just have now
GBA-to-GC Link cable I got from a friend
GBA link cable I just ordered from AliExpress for like $7
childhood copies of Ruby, Sapphire and a non-childhood JP copy of LeafGreen
Everdrive flashcart for the GBA so I can play and trade technically infinite amounts of the gen 3 GBA games although it can't be used with Box, etc. since it needs to be on to select a ROM and I think most of those GBA-to-GC features require the GBA to be off

I think that's enough to get everything that gen, even stuff like the eon ticket since I an either dump the save to PC and distribute into the games via emulation or the flashcart can actually emulate some e-reader functions. I could technically speedrun Emerald on the flash cart without wiping my Emerald cart to trade the gen 2 starters too, I think. Same thing with FR/LG. I think I can get a legitimate JP Celebi by playing JP Colosseum on my GC and then transferring that to JP LG and then trade that to Emerald or whatever. I gotta' install new batteries in the carts. I think all I'm lacking is the wireless gba adapter if I wanna' do pokeblock stuff in FR/LG/E which I'm not sure if that's needed at all, even for the ribbon/contest ribbon stuff. Can probably emulate that part if needed although I'm trying to avoid doing anything on PC if I can.

Palworld is only $30 and it's the best Pokemon game ever made (except for my extremely nostalgic memory of gen 1 and 2)

Stop liking games I don't like.
