  • Nintendo: Consistently makes the most unique game systems of all time, leaning heavily into capabilities that other developers won’t touch like motion controls, portability, dual screens, 3D capability without the need for a headset. Puts out games that, while may be reusing the same IPs, regularly adds and introduces new gameplay mechanics that are highly praised and quickly become industry standards due to how well they work.

  • If you’ve played, well, pretty much any RPG, there’s no point playing Zelda or Pokemon.

    Oh, there’s a point, and it’s a pretty big one that people tend to forget:

    Games like Zelda and Pokemon are fun. They might not have the best graphics, but they’re fun. They may not have the best story, but they are fun. The hardware may not be powerful, the gameplay might be repetitive, the scenery might be bland, the NPC’s might not be engaging, it may not be particularly challenging, it may have questionable design choices; but the games are fun to play.

    I feel that as gamers get older they forget that, at its core, games are supposed to be fun. They look at Nintendo and then at other big companies and go “what the hell? Nintendo looks like CRAP! Every other AAA company has WAY more impressive games!” without realizing that Nintendo isn’t really trying to make impressive games. They make fun games that are fun to play. Games anyone can start having fun with less than a minute after picking up the controller.



  • I think I saw the video of it, they did it by holding a blow torch to it.

    But many videos like that are misleading because the person filming it doesn’t know how blow torches work. They always hold the torch RIGHT up against the thing they’re trying to burn, but you barely get any heat when you use it like that. You have to hold it a few inches back, right at the tip of the inner jet. That’s where the hottest point is.
