Switch Smash apparently doesn’t have a version of Smash Run and I’m sad/pissed about it because IMO it is the best form of what HAL tried to do with Kirby Air Ride’s City Trial mode and it works so well as something to play on a handheld.

Bought a family plan for my bros and downloaded the Nintendo Entertainment System™ – Nintendo Switch Online. I’ve decided that video games got good around 1991.

Blatantly false and you’re just trying to get a rise out of people so I’m not falling for it!

I only like the handful of NES games that are designed around the input limitations, e.g. Mario, Balloon Fight, or RPGs. I get irritated with anything that isn’t hiding behind physics or menus.
My first exposure to most NES games was using a Gameshark with Animal Crossing.
it’s so sad that future generations won’t carry with them the expectation of having been exhaustively exposed to the entire history of the medium from childhood

When I was a projectionist the old guys gave me shit because I hadn’t seen specifically Clash of the Titans (remake was coming out) because they’d familiarized themselves with the canon and they actually took a beat when I told them it was harder because the canon has 30 more years of movies for me.
RIP Filmstruck, I never got around to using the student rate

this is bullshit of them because Clash of the Titans wasn’t even a particularly old movie at that point (it was 81) and they’re acting like it was a 50s swords and sandals epic
also it has that fucking owl

Sad also that humanities funding has been so desiccated that our generation doesn’t get to be the vanguard of academic and historical study of the medium the way those who grew up alongside the birth of film did.

Every movie that came out after I turned 19 is pretty new. Them’s the rules.
NES games and Harryhausen films were core building blocks of my childhood. What kind of movies were you younger cats watching as 8 year olds? Did you graduate straight from Elmo’s World to Dark City and Final Destination 3 or something?
