I got a wired wired XBox360 controller at GameStop 10 years ago for a really good price and it works wonders! I'm on Windows 8.1 and for most games it doesn't require any sort of configuration either, I just plug it in and it works right away

Mh, not sure how I feel about these. On one hand, as someone who mostly buys games secondhand, I appreciate they can be resold unlike actual digital releases. But what's going to happen in 15-20 years when Nintendo pulls the plug on the Switch servers and eShop? Won't these stop working? So at that point it's just a piece of plastic whereas physical cartridges would still let you play games. Feel free to correct me if I'm misunderstanding how they work!
Good post op!! My first Pokemon game was FireRed and bulbasaur was my first choice too - one day I want to restart my save and soft reset for a shiny one!
I keep two windows side by side: the left one has my email, youtube and sometimes a comic I'm reading or audiobook; the right one has a browser virtual pet game I check every few hours and is where I open new tabs to check lemmy, imgur, etc. Pretty clean! But then the moment I work on either art or coding I open a third window that usually gets to 10+ tabs oops
Every time I hear a new piece of news about the Switch 2 it's disappointing. Bummer
My grandmother's great uncle (so talking about the late 1800s) was killed by lightning while out on horseback during a storm. Pretty crazy odds huh?
For something spicier, around the end of Italy's involvement in WWII Mussolini called his followers to move to the north of Italy. My aunt's family were fascists (my aunt was a child at the time) and they were planning on going there too with this bus that was gathering fascists to move them all north. My aunt's family had one massive trunk with all their belongings and it didn't fit into the bus so they were forced to stay... Which was ultimately a good thing because that bus was stopped by the partisans who gunned everyone down before reaching Milan. So my aunt dodged a bullet, both figuratively and literally oof
To be fair to the DS, playing 3D platformers with a d-pad isn't great lol so I can see why developers mostly stuck to 2D games
Oof I feel you there, I never got any event distribution that was tied to a real life location because they just never did them in the countries I lived in. ;; The wi-fi ones imo mitigated this a bit since you could get them anywhere so long as you had a wi-fi connection, but it is a bummer so many things in these games are now forever locked away due to time
It's also worth mentioning you can get most (if not all?) event pokemon through wiimmfi! It's also a lot more reliable than I first assumed, I still regularly play Animal Crossing Wild World with a friend through it and never had a single connection issue
Skies of Arcadia!! So much of the Dreamcast library is on Steam it's crazy to me they skipped out on this one. Yes I know I can just emulate it but I'd love to see it on Steam haha
Tales of Xillia 1 and 2 as well, as far as I know they've yet to be released from the PS3 prison. I do have some semblance of hope for these ones though seeing as Bandai Namco are pretty good about remasters/rereleases
Immediately thought of Sonic Adventure 2 lol I've never met anyone who actually owned a pair (I don't think they ever made it to Europe but I might be wrong)
