I think our generation will definitely have consoles set up in nursing homes when we are elderly. No doubt about it.

Just to give perspective on how rapacious the textbook industry has become:

When I was in nursing school (graduated in May), even though I “purchased” the textbooks, it turned out what I purchased was only a license to access the textbook through their proprietary e-reader app for the semester. As soon as the semester was over, my access to the textbook disappeared.

This is the model that the textbook companies want. No more reselling used books to even recover a small portion of funds.

This is why piracy of textbooks is thriving.

So far, the highlights for me are Super Mario RPG remake, and a new Dragon Quest Monsters installment!

One day Doom will be able to run through carrier pigeons.

Wow. Memory freaking unlocked. I had forgotten that these existed for probably 25 years until I saw this very post. Now it’s all coming back to me! I had the Jurassic Park one and never could figure out how to play it right as a kid, but still had fun.

FINALLY!!!

I’m glad you said that, because I have access to both Birthright and Conquest, and couldn’t decide which one to play. I’ll pick Conquest if it’s your all time favorite!

What’s your favorite Fire Emblem game? I recently started getting into some of the older ones after playing the new ones. I really enjoyed Radiant Dawn, although it was super hard compared to the ones I was used to lol.

Have you ever played Lost Odyssey? It’s a more obscure title because it was an Xbox 360 exclusive, but it’s excellent. If only Microsoft had kept doing more of THAT, the Xbox would be in a heck of a better spot now.

If you have an Xbox 360, an Xbox One, or an XSS/XSX, it can be purchased for a pittance. And there’s also the Xenia emulator if you’d like to play your legal backup on PC or Steam Deck, but Xenia doesn’t emulate it perfectly yet.

Its one of my favorite games of all time.
