I’m queerly the 'Leigh you searched for! 😉 I do tech things, enjoy pinball, try to draw, make a little music now and then, occasionally jump in the ocean and breathe underwater, and marvel at how I’ve lasted this long in this world. Trying to do my part to make it better.

In my view, systems without an HDMI output or which default to a 4:3 aspect ratio are retro. But I don’t expect everyone else to share this opinion, and that’s totally fine. 🙂

Wishful thinking at best. Nintendo has no incentive to rush forward with a new platform yet. Hardware ain’t where the money is, and they’re not struggling to sell software when they have something good.

I can’t see how they could possibly market a “Game Boy Advance” handheld successfully. It’d have to be something fundamentally different from the Game Boy Colour. 😉

For the average consumer, it’s all about the games. If the next platform has awesome games you can’t play on the current-gen platform, it’ll sell. (Well, barring some disastrous marketing…)

Curious of other's thoughts on the term "beat" the game. DAE feel like it's outdated?

This is a weird thought but I'm just curious if anyone else feels this way. I'm 39 and grew up playing games all the way back to the original Atari and I just feel weird about the term "beat" when it comes to finishing games. I don't know why, but I just feel like it's weird to say nowadays. I'm talking specifically about story...

Very much feel the same! “Beat the game” made more sense back when it felt like the game was trying to defeat you, whether that was for more quarters in the arcade or for more perceived value at home. But I switched to saying “finished (or completed) the game” a long time ago as the general nature of gaming shifted over the years. For story games with multiple endings, I might say I “finished it” if I don’t plan to go back and see other branches, or “completed it” if I got all endings.

I too am curious if this an age-related tendency or not, I’m in my 40s.

I was going to guess “Gone Home”, but then I looked at the hint. 😅

While replying, look for the icon of an exclamation point in a triangle below. I had to search for it too!

Never heard of that one before, but clearly I need to find out. 🙂

::: spoiler correct answer Um Jammer Lammy. There’s a scene in the game where she uses a chainsaw to cut down a tree and build a guitar, leaving a stump — oops, I thought you were punning on that! 😆 :::

This sounds like it might really raise the incentive for building good transit networks along with bike and pedestrian infrastructure. 😄
