My mom got us this “Kids Cube” game collection in CompUSA when I was a kid and there were some gems in there. I’ve been looking for years to try and find the list of games but it’s one of those cheap dollar bin software collections. Anywho, some of the games I loved from that included:

Battle Bugs Jetpack Mice Movers Loader Larry

Non Kids Cube games: Doom (duh) Hero’s of might and Magic 3 Kings Quest VI Return to Zork Raptor: Call of the Shadows Battle Chess Jazz Jackrabbit Prince of Persia (the classic DOS 2D) Duke Nukem 2D

Did a quick search and thank you Archive! Found the Kids Cube! There’s a lot of weird stuff on there but I would spend hours just trying stuff out. https://archive.org/details/aztech_kids_cube

Sega needed a comeback. He’s right that a lot of Sega has been conservative for the last few years, but when AAA studios are shitting the bed left and right, companies like Sega and Nintendo manage to capture the magic of gaming like an indie developer can still.

I’ve already appreciated the amount of “fun” Sega brings to the table. Some classic IPs are absolutely batshit too like Kid Chameleon, Vector Man, Virtual On, Comix Zone. There’s so many unique experiences they can make from them.

Hopefully they can maintain focus on fun like a smaller studio but still deliver polished big products.

The actual hot take is that most of these movies are actually pretty good in the context of their correlation to source materials. As critically acclaimed movies: debatable; but as an adaptation? Unbelievably they tie a really neat rope around a hodge podge of different ideas and oddly make it work.

The truly hot take is that these movies serve there purpose well and do a great job being a vehicle for the story in the comics (sometimes)

Dark Souls remastered taught me how to look at life differently. I now accept failure as part of the process of growing, not something that should be avoided at all costs.

Also it taught me how to parry like a G.

Animal Well.

Well balls. Oh well, looks like I'm just gonna start the journey again.

I did the apple arcade version. I wonder if I can transfer my progress when I eventually get the steam version.

They should’ve never messed with the original avatars. Xbox finally had their own aesthetic in a way that Nintendo always seems to have. Then they went and changed everything.

Only big corporations who either kiss the ring or generate a ton of money and lobby like he’ll will be exempt.

The goal of republicans is to watch out for their clan and get their beak wet doing it. If some republican lawmaker or trump can make money off this they will.

Summer homes in Europe go up in value. A new market for winter apparel opens too. Just think to the potential market growth. This is going to make a few shrewd entrepreneurs very wealthy. The planet will suffer, but man think of the money.

As a longtime fan (since Blackwater Park came out) I am pretty happy with the new common ground Mikel found to please both OldPeth and NuPeth fans alike.

I agree that the last 4 albums were mostly forgettable, aside from a few songs a riffs.

My biggest gripe is how much stuff is packed into each song. I liked when Opeth songs were long cause they really let an idea sit and stay with you. It wasn’t overly repetitive, they always made the long sections (aside from a few choice selections) interesting even they repeated a riff for 2-3 minutes.

I will say that this album has some AWESOME grooves. All the more reason I wish they lasted longer. I feel like songs would be more memorable and distinct if they did.

Overall I’m really happy with the new compromise of sound. I know they don’t want to do the same thing over and over, and this is a happy medium that is a great step forward.

Bodom is still kinda underrated. Think about when they were creating this music and what was popular then. They were right before the melodeath surge of the early 2000’s. Alexi Laiho had his finger on the pulse.
