  • Fuck. It could be Wario Land or Donkey Kong Country 2 (a bit later, 1996?) for me. Been playing them almost constantly since 1994 along with Mario 1-3. This gets even more fucked when you throw in all the ports, randomizers etc.

    For actual hard numbers (roughly), it’s Xenoblade for me.

    1. Played once on the Wii when it came out here in the UK in 2011. 107hrs.
    2. Played it again through on the Wii. This was around the same, savefile says 142 hrs.
    3. Played through it on Dolphin. Probably 80hrs or so, I don’t have the numbers on this. Throw another 100 hours on.
    4. Played through it to 100% on the New 3DS port, twice. This was probably another 200+ hrs.
    5. Definitive edition. Played through once on the Switch to 100% (this took 97 hrs) then twice again on Yuzu in 4k. 150 hrs so far on Yuzu (just got to Valak Mountain in this current playthrough)

    Don’t even get me started on X, 2 and 3. but well worth it.







  • I used to always buy physical pc games and then redeem the codes on steam! This was back when I ran a gaming store for a couple of years. Got Fallout New Vegas and Portal 2 cheaper than on steam this way, and with staff discount on top too

    Still have the boxes and dvds! I miss the old big box monkey island era tho, dial a pirate lol


  • I have a few. And I’m not even that old (mid thirties)

    • People who talk on phone calls using airpods or similar look ridiculous in public, like they’re utter lunatics talking to themselves or their imaginary friend.

    • people who view life through their mobile phones are unfortunate and sad. Like…why pay money to go see a gig if you’re going to view it through your phone screen? I went to a wedding last week and I was one of the very few who was actually watching the procession with my own eyes rather through a camera app.

    • Not being on social media should be an accepted norm, not a fucking exception. This is an issue when dating, unbelievably.
