how Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (and Sega Europe, actually!) requiring a plain spine with high-contrast text made PAL collections look very uniform and easy to browse
I personally like that versus the logo anarchy of NTSC regions lmao but I recognise that some people are apparently very angry at this ancient decision
the source engines whole thing with like the dying gasp of the machinery when your game CTDs or gmod’s other instance of this where the game hitches for a while and all the sounds loop and distort over and over again and then it does the coming up for air sound and it just keeps happening for what feels like an eternity until the game stabilizes again
ragnarok online
like, every other day. also, it’s a 20-year-old MMO. The alpha was in 2001!
I know I ask this every two years what was the Secret of Mana insipired Korean Online game insert credit folks played for about a year?
the first thing that came to mind was maple story, but i think that was side scrolling?
Glenn really gets it.
Was watching Limmy starting some Skyrim DLC the other day and seemingly every single NPC in the starting location had at least one line of dialogue spelling out that a wizard wiped that person’s memory and I’ve been wondering if there’s any point in continuing to make open world RPGs
absurdly good soundtrack in that one. login music forever burned into my memory
Ragnarok Online and Trickster Online are both 2D isometric Korean MMOs that had US fanbases.
if i remember right i think both of those r in the Dawn of The Dead mall
I can’t think of having ever seen or heard of any malls with gun stores in real life. Even the one in dawn of the dead was a set.
there’s no gun store afaik but there is a shooting range in the west edmonton mall… they truly do have it all
I remember all the sword and knife stores.
in Flushing, Queens, there’s a mall that has a pretty big Chinese supermarket in it (called Sky Foods), but that’s the only example i can personally think of…
the big mall that’s like 25 minutes from my place (or from downtown at a slightly different angle) in Vancouver has 2 big supermarkets in it (one Asian one not) plus the usual assortment of weird hobby stores
it’s great, every time I go I always pick up like, uniqlo socks, a half dozen Chinese buns, and about 10 litres of fresca
availability of cheap food and such from different cultures is extremely good here, it’s buying expensive durable goods at retail that sucks
Lol there’s also a Chinese supermarket in the West Edmonton mall
I think supermarkets in malls is probably pretty common up here actually. I mean not in so much as connected to I guess. They usually have an entrance to the outside as well as one to the mall
In Parma Ohio, there used to be a mall with a whole ass Walmart attached to it. Then they demolished the mall, but not the Walmart.
Parma is America af.
In San Antonio they demolished a mall but not the Sears. And it was a nice two story Sears.
It’s closed now I think. I went in twice and it was real weird and sad.
