This author is a serious prude. They have an interesting definition of Otaku and makes it seem as if all doujin were porn.

He, apparently:

Biz Davis is a producer & writer who's spent 20 years in the world of underground music, events and eventually advertising. His work focuses on obsessives and their obsessions, circular economies and cyberpunk aesthetics.

then he should know better than make the false equivalence that otakus are all incels I guess

I love the art and sound of PC98 games, I just wish they weren't all so full of porn.

EDIT: The author of this article is dead to me. They called Hideo Kojima "problematic."

Xbox 360 if that's to young then prehaps the PS2 or gameboy

FYI, retro means something new with inspiration from the past. The word you’re looking for is vintage.

Setting that aside, it’s gotta be the SNES. The games from that generation have aged far more gracefully than the early 3d games of the fifth and sixth generation consoles.

DarkMetatron ,

In german this differentiation is only valid for furniture (and sometimes clothing), everything else is always just Retro. 😮‍💨 People are unwilling to change their minds on that.
I had that discussion often enough to give up and just accept it.
Sometimes neo-retro is used for inspired new stuff, seems to be easier to create new words the to use the correct ones it seems. 😫

Tippon , in If forced to choose one retro console forever what would you choose and why?

Super Nintendo, or SNES. The Mario and Zelda games were great, and so was Mario Kart, but there were loads of great third party games too, like Castlevania and Super Probotector (Contra?).

Would X3TC count as retro? It's from like 2005. I tried playing X4 because fans said it was like X3 but better... But it's not. It's so much more convoluted in all the wrong ways. The menus are trash. The RNG sucks. The AI economy is even worse. X3 is still a way better game.

These emulator box things usually have very poor quality prehaps the evercade might peak your interest and its only a little bit more or a raspberry pi

Nothing spurred my son to read (and then read better and faster) more than the fact that it was required to play video games.

What a time to be alive. Using a PS3 controller on a Macintosh laptop to play a Nintendo game, all while using board games as a desk. Lmfao I love it op.

Mario RPG for the SNES is really good. I was going to replay it recently but it sounds like a remaster is coming

sickday , in Halloween Retro Picks?

Hell yea! I try to play old retro games with the family as the seasons change. This year I'm going to show them some of my favorite PSX titles

  • MediEvil 1 and 2
  • Heart of Darkness
  • Skeleton Warriors

I think this is a tie between Bloodborne and Panzer Dragoon Saga. Absolute masterpieces, both. I replay both of them at least once a year, but it would be wonderful to go back in fresh.

AstridWipenaugh , in If you could play one game for the first time all over again, what would it be?

Ultima Online. It was my first MMO. I could own a friggin house that other people could visit! I've been chasing that high for 20+ years now.

Misconduct ,

Ahhhh UO. Sitting on my llama in my prized neon sandles in front of the bank. Buying a white wyrm from someone and having it rampage because I couldn't control it. Riding around in a boat with a polar bear trying to level up animal handling or whatever because you stopped getting xp if you were stationary too long... Good times lol. I used to have a whole bag of runes to glitch spots in the game 😎

shiroininja , in If you could play one game for the first time all over again, what would it be?

Earthbound. It’s been my favorite game since I first rented it from blockbuster

psycho_driver , in If you could play one game for the first time all over again, what would it be?

Probably Planescape: Torment
