Re: Doshin The Giant Creator's PS1 Oddity, 'Aquanaut's Holiday' Arrives On Steam This Month, With "GenAI" Remastered Mode

I feel like the Venn Diagram of "people who want to buy a port of a super-obscure , experimental PS1 game whose main selling point is that it's from the creator of another, different super-obscure experimental retro game" and "people who won't buy a game without the textures being run through a gloopy, ugly filter"...those circles can't overlap, right? I don't think those two circles can even see each other.

Re: Legend of Dragoon Producer Denies The PS1 RPG Was Intended To Be Sony's Final Fantasy Clone

I mean, it's a very Sony thing to do, right? At least at that time. Take a genre that's popular at the moment and do a version of it with big production value. I'm thinking, like, Killzone coming out when Halo was super big. The Getaway for GTA. Doesn't make those games derivative, just reflective of when they were made. Sony started out big on third-party games, but they were always trying to find a hit that they Owned.

I love paying more for no reason! And small businesses? Who needs those. Thank goodness we have a Master Negotiator using his shrewd business acumen to bring all the success to America that he brought to...Trump Ice, Trump Airlines, Trump Mortgage, Trump Steak, Trump University, and other famously successful and definitely still alive products. Certainly, he's not just a rich failson who used daddy's money to stumble into enough mob connections to Mr. Magoo himself into looking competent.
