Wish I wasn't allergic to wearing white.

It's never talked about these days but yeah, back in the day it was a pretty well known hit. I don't know why but almost nothing makes me laugh harder than playing the BMX event on the Atari Lynx version and just making this poor bastard on the bike eat shit in the worst ways.

Mutant League Hockey was also a lot of fun, also based on their NHL engine on Genesis back then. Great choice. There was some sort of spiritual successor to Mutant League Football that came out recently if I'm remembering correctly...?

In the arcades, NHL Open Ice, AKA 2 on 2 NHL Open Ice Challenge. The sport of hockey done by the same team behind NBA JAM, which sadly never received the Tournament Edition version - like NBA JAM did - that it always deserved. The source code for it, and several other arcade games from Midway, did eventually get leaked to Github, so my hopes of a hack that adds stuff or gives us updated rosters is still alive: https://github.com/historicalsource/open-ice

Ladybird will save us all.

There's so much I love about this game. I'm not a baseball game fan in general but I keep coming back to Base Wars. The fights triggered by a runner sliding into a base as the ball is arriving was always fun. The velocity of the ball when you hit a homerun was awesome. Great pick.

Depends on the streamer, I guess. Personality probably matters more to those that are variety streamers - people that play many different games at any given point with a large general audience and probably less important for those that specialize in a specific game that has a built-in community of people interested in that game.

Personally, I don't care as don't follow streamers myself. But seems like the right thing to do is to not abandon the people that built you up to begin with because something shinier shows up. Make a transition over time to something new, sure. But when it's sudden like this, it's hard to see it any other way.

New game = new community = new dollar signs, I suppose.

It would have been incredible if Nintendo allowed them to add the Atari Games/Tengen NES version of Tetris in this compilation.

Also, anyone else out there remember/used to play TetriNET?

Been interesting watching streamers quitting their current games to jump immediately onto Deadlock, some even in tears pretending to be doing anything more than abandoning the communities that built them for anything other than the dollar signs they have in their eyes.

We finally figured out why Linus is so deep into badminton.

Love Nexpo, always glad to see a new video even if it's about the creepiest things possible.

Appreciate the browser extensions link, thanks.

Tried it a bit yesterday on Windows. Opened a Github link in it and Windows Defender killed the app saying it was a threat. Definitely a false positive but seemed odd to see the entire app just die instantly, lol.

As someone that never really was familiar with the Nickelodeon shows aside from hearing the names of a few of them here and there, the documentary was an interesting and hard watch.

Pretty sure that is the actual default location for standard EmulationStation, as opposed to ES-DE.

Playing videogames and listening to music are passive activities. Going to the gym, learning to play guitar, working on a YouTube channel, those are all active activities which build up a skill that requires time and effort being put into them. It's often said that it takes ten thousand hours to get really master something, but it often takes a lot less to get good enough at them. It sounds to me like you pick something new up, find that you aren't instantly good at it and give up and no, that's not normal. You say you're 35 years old, but that's really kind of a child-like mentality to have. It sounds to me like you really need to understand what the underlying fear/problem is here that is causing you to give up.

Oh boy, there's some crazy shit about to go down.

Such a great band, sad to see they went different ways, but still new music coming out from both sides.
