This made me lol.
So a smash bros rip off and now another mario kart rip off.
Why do other companies think putting karts in a racing game will work for them? If they made LBP as a realdeal racer, more people would buy into it.
Fail.
Sony may as well host a press conference and announce they have no ideas of their own. If it was official, I would be more appreciative.

Calling the Sony fighting game a Smash Bros ripoff is reasonable, but LBP Kart is not a Mario Kart ripoff, if only because of the amount of customization you can do. If you have to call it a ripoff, it's a ripoff of Modnation Racers, but much better.

this is mainly a reskinned modnation racers (you know the game thats been out for 2 years now) if anything with a bunch of stuff added in, mainly for track creation to meet lbp2 creation options level, I think they are just letting mnr series die off since they ported the whole system to lbp now

dont forget CTR, which was arguably better then mario kart 64

IMO mario kart 64 was terrible. Honestly you think CTR is good? oh dear. I must also point out that CTR is a total mariokart clone. And not very enjoyable. In fact I have an appointment to let someone shoot me in the face just so I dont have to look at that game ever again.

    I can't believe you got me with that

    I haven't been gaming for such a long time. Been mostly busy with sleep, hardware tinkering and checking GBAtemp frequently.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Hope you've had a good morning.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    It's going alright thanks :) I know what you mean with gaming time. It's precious where I can get it these days.

  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    I think that's why I focus on just enjoying single player experiences that aren't too competitive
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    How are you doing?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    There's also this thing where I'm hyperfocused at night and cannot get to sleep.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, I'm doing alright, thanks.

    That must be rough. Productive I'm sure but hard to balance with daily life

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.

    @Maximumbeans, I had a friend who had a glass chess set for their birthday.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It was like all clear and fancy. Tbf I'm not too experienced with chess, but would like to learn someday.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    That sounds really cool
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    I know the basics but no strategy at all :rofl:
