    LOL.  Werner's making a list, and checking it twice!  For those of you not on his scumbag list, what's your excuse?  But yeah, I'll double down on my scum baggery.  In spite of COVID 19, Polymega is shipping units to beta testers.   The virus is absolutely a very convenient excuse to cover Atari's incompetence.   They've been stalling for time since the get go, and this pandemic gives them a blank check to drag it out indefinitely.

    1. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (Xbox One) - 79582 min. (103 times)

    Welcome to new participants, and in case anyone just is watching, feel free to log your times and post next week!

    I think it's funny that Animal Crossing has only been out since 3/20 and is already #6.  I feel partly responsible for the crazy times for BL3 and AC:NH, haha

    oh neat!  i didn't think about moving my house up on the mountain. 

     

    my wife got the bug dragon, but i never saw them- ran a couple of bust Nook islands last night as well.  s'all good, though, because i made a fortune on the Fish Tourney and Bunny stuff (the easter dresses sold for 8k a piece).  i'm slowly building up the bridges and staircases for parts of my island; i prefer the natural step aesthetic.  :)

     

    theres a villager that's a righteous pain in the butt to the other villagers and myself so i'm 'encouraging' him to leave so i can recruit someone else.  Village life is tough! lol

    I intentionally didn't upgrade my house yesterday.  I left it at 1K left in the balance before the 3rd tier home whatever that is (wider again or another level, don't want to know until I do it.)  I felt it more important to do other stuff and look into more island infrastructure, perhaps dropping the $30k if not that to move my house up on the hill like I wanted.

     

    I've decided not to go crazy with this like some people do as you see online.  I'm going to go like mountain/island village style with this so I'm just going with natural ramps, and the bridge I put in of my choice was stone, the starter is that annoying wood pole thing I'd love to remove in time to match the other.  I've put all my homes in the lower 1/2 of the island too as I'd like to have the isolated central space and peeks undeveloped for the most part.  I may throw a lighthouse, observatory, any interesting style kind of stuff in a place like that though.

    ill try to get some pics from my island up since i created a burner Twitter to upload them.  :)  sort of what i did was to have the houses grouped together sort of- i've left my mountainy stuff more or less natural.  on my hills i've started creating some fenced off areas for flowers.  i also have an orchard of all the fruit trees off to one side as well.

     

    that's a cool idea to replace the first bridge!  i prefer the stone or wooden bridge (the name escapes me.. suspension?), and i have a red zen bridge going to my 'shrine' area.

     

    personally, i think not going bonkers will go a long way to enjoying the game better for me- i'll get there. :)

    hope you guys have been having fun with Animal Crossing this week and with the events.  :)

     

    I did a good bit for the Fishing Tourney and then for Bunny Day- I managed to craft all the recipes so i got my super-exciting 'prize'.  I've been helping my wife out with stuff as we go back and forth to each others' islands. 

     

    my house now has *four* rooms!  woo!

    my game time is more Modern-heavy than Classic this week- part of this had to do with the arthritis in my hands being super flared up.  Street Fighter is a righteous pain in the... hand with a controller.

     

    I have been looking at arcade-style sticks for the Switch, though. :)

     

    Arcade:

     

    Bubble Bobble -- 61 minutes

    Street Fighter Alpha -- 120 minutes

    Street Fighter Alpha 2 -- 120 minutes

    I've got the config in MAME saved so that "up" is mapped to a button (same with Arabian which would be another good one for this thread).  If only Atari had the foresight to realize that it is more fun to have separate buttons for jump and punch.  Two buttons with two functions might have transformed this game from the obviously derivative into something innovative.

    And I don't remember ever seeing Kanagroo IRL.  I think by the time I would have noticed, Donkey Kong (or DK Jr) was so easy to get that it had taken over.

    We had a Kangaroo machine at our local roller rink when i was a kid. :)

    earlier this evening I needed to pick up some medication and was surprised to see this sign while stopped at the intersection...

    this reminds me of a story my wife read yesterday that happened in Louisiana.  when this town started their curfew the siren the police unknowingly used was apparently the siren sound from the movie 'The Purge'.

    What is everyone up to this fine afternoon? Playing some conhole and cooking dinner. Wonder if they will be able to get the bags to dangle partway in the hole like in real life?JPEG_20200408_161546.thumb.jpg.cac9934c7aa2c0e31536b87ca4635015.jpgJPEG_20200408_171216.thumb.jpg.96841ee9ca8b627307632ce398fd6603.jpg

     

    call me PB because I'm jelly of your dinner.  We were lazy-asses and drove to the next town for drive-through takeout, lol.

     

    we have filling from stuffed bell peppers last night, so likely that will be *tacos* tomorrow now.

     

    speaking of burgers, how bout Burgertime for the Amico?  any screenshots/etc yet?

    Nintendo is cracking down on rom site.  Soon none will be left so it does not matter.

    that seems like hyperbole to me- just like the line from Star Wars about star systems slipping through Imperial fingers (or something like that).  There's always going to be places I think to get ROMs no matter what kind of controls the companies exert.

    ive been lurking and reading stuff about the remake off and on, i have the same questions i think everyone does on the episodic nature of the games.  a lot of it's rhetorical stuff i know has no answer, but still curious.

     

    1) are the games intended to be self-contained?

    2) do items/stats/etc carry over?

    3) how far apart are the games' release dates going to be?
