    'Dragon Quest VII Reimagined' gets new trailer and demo

    DQIX is awesome, I played it for over 400 hours. Not to 100 % completion, mind, but I have been thinking about continuing my save... :wub: Re: DQVII, thank you @Robert Newbie and @RyanTheArchivist for the info on how the versions differ. I have the 3DS version, and if it truly is less...

    Upcoming game release calendar - December 2025

    Daymn, I have a preorder for Octopath Traveler 0 but thought it was a 2026 game. Can't wait to not play it on my Christmas break! (...unless Santa also gifts me a couple more hours per day, ofc.)

    Is RetroArch too confusing to use?

    Indeed. I was also about to praise DuckStation in my message. It's just so intuitive to use for whatever reason.

    Super Mario Wonder artstyle is beautiful

    You're far from being alone with that opinion, though it's not one I share. My choice is SMB3. Not only is it excellent in every way, it also happens to be the very first video game I ever played and thus it will always have a special place in my heart. And still Wonder manages to make it an...

    Is a console ever "too nice" to mod?

    I don't think I've ever had a hardmodded console. It's not that I'm against it or anything, there just hasn't been a need for one, softmodding has been enough so far... though I wouldn't mind if someone replaced the failing NAND in my poor Wii U. :( What worries me is what to do when my devices...

    Please teach me to not care...

    You are correct, though it's not necessarily an easy skill to learn. But there are no shortcuts that I know, just gotta practice, practice and practice. Same as any skill, really.

    Buying games for reasons other than gameplay.

    This. Naturally I lie to myself that I'll really play them at some point... but, TBH, it's not very likely since I buy about four games for every one I get around to playing.

    Which series should I start?

    Wait... there's more to gaming than Dragon Quest? No, but seriously, I just realized that – excepting a few Mario Kart 8 cups with my son – I have played nothing but DQ games in over a year. Send help.

    I suggest DBT

    Super Mario Wonder artstyle is beautiful

    Is it creative? Why, yes, it is. I don't want to spoil it too much but there's ghost opera, dragon riding, wobbling along walls and ceilings as a slime, etc., etc.. Seems like every level has something new to offer. I don't know if it's the best 2D Mario game but it's definitely in my top 2...

    Is RetroArch too confusing to use?

    I hate it. It's confusing and frustrating, a true UX nightmare. I just couldn't learn to like it though I tried. Thus it was back to individual emulators for me.

    You guys still play video games?

    Well, at least you make it to midnight... I start dozing off after half past ten.

    "MasterCard, Visa & Activist Groups: Stop Controlling What We Can Watch, Read, or Play" petition gains traction as it reaches over 15k signatures

    But these people aren't "doing nothing". They're creating a negative atmosphere and hurting the cause; doing nothing would be preferable. Hope they're happy when instead of GTA 7 they get to play wholesome Bible games in the future. Learning about Moses has never been so much fun!

    Gaming Ubisoft’s CEO fights back against Stop Killing Games initiative

    Dunno! I wouldn't demand that from them, nor would I demand that from any other publisher; my scenario was that they could sell all their old games as-is, no refunds, no support, and leave it to the community to figure out how to get them running. Minimum effort, easy money. But yeah, not...

    Gaming Ubisoft’s CEO fights back against Stop Killing Games initiative

    Or perhaps Ubisoft could also sell digital copies of their past games for a few bucks. Just put BIG disclaimers with red flashing lights about how they might have difficulties being run on modern PCs, Ubi customer service cannot assist you, yadda yadda etc etc, whatever it takes to avoid legal...
