@retrotink2 2024: feeling guilty about spending so much on my RT4K.

2028: feeling proud about spending so little on my RT4K.

@heyphilsummers I still routinely end up humming the "ESCA... FLOWNE" chorus despite having not watched it since the 90s

@heyphilsummers I saw a review in the Guardian describe it as "visually dull" which made me laugh out loud. Would you describe the visuals as dull? I simply cannot believe that's accurate.

@jonathanperos @analogue What is easily solvable about it?

[Count of the Mount @CountOfTheMount]

@heyphilsummers 100%. I've felt this way for a long time about any game which has a significant download component. If it's not playable right off the cart (or disc), I'm not interested in physical. This is also true if a day 1 patch is effectively required, too (e.g. CyberPunk at launch)

@heyphilsummers It is an extremely cool case! I love the old clay work on old Famicom games. Have you ever seen the Eggerland games? They were localized here as Adventures of Lolo. The JP artwork is clay work, too.

@retrotink2 @Jon_O90_ @Camfoxxx But Mike, one of the richest companies in the world made one factory in one place to make one thing, and it only took 5 years! Surely that's how easy it is to scale to every electronic component in every device that anyone makes anywhere!

@retrotink2 Love the transparency almost as much as I love my RT4K, Mike.

@Evilinc1 @L88842357 @analogue I mean... COVID was definitely a mitigating factor in that Pocket timeline. It delayed pretty much everything.

@heyphilsummers I enjoyed Astrobot and Astro's Playroom, but I 100% agree they feel kind of soulless. It's bright and colorful, but it's also like... these things are Great Value FunkoPops, which is kinda nauseating. The four or five big capstone stages were very cool, though.

[Count of the Mount @CountOfTheMount]

@heyphilsummers Same here :/

@heyphilsummers @NintendoForce Having the official Capcom logo must be a big weight off the shoulders. Looking forward to this!

@heyphilsummers I remember saving up for the SNES with A Link to the Past --- $99 if I recall --- and being blown away with the scope of the world. I had played some other RPGs (like Final Fantasy and Zelda 2), but ALttP just felt bigger.

@jessestout @Nintendeal Glad to hear there are others out there.

@heyphilsummers Wait $700 doesn't even include a disc drive?!?

[Count of the Mount @CountOfTheMount]

@heyphilsummers Yeah I haven't bought a PS5 yet and was holding out for the Pro, but man... that's a much higher price than I'd expected. Not sure I'm interested in paying full price for this!

@heyphilsummers Not really. I was just curious if you thought the FF7 animations were better or worse. I really disliked FF15's movie due to the mouths not matching the dialog --- this is a problem both in English and Japanese due to an unfathomable design choice!
