bozo,

I know everyone wants the Captain Falcon GTA F-Zero, but the whole reason the franchise appeals to me is its purity as a racing game. GX pushed the absolute limits of what arcade racing could be, and there hasn’t really been a non-realistic racing game since that has a skill ceiling that high. It’s absolutely mind-boggling what Amusement Vision created with GX twenty years ago.

Adding vehicle weapons, RPG mechanics, or a GTA like open world would probably garner more sales and interest from average joe gamers, but doing so would lose sight of what makes this franchise great. All that is probably more likely to happen than not should there be a new installment, as much as I hate to admit.

bozo,

Has anyone here unlocked the “Be the last pilot to qualify with a Safe rank” badge? I have no idea if it’s referring to the per-lap safe rank or the Grand Prix per-race one. I deliberately sandbagged to come in last place in both situations but it didn’t unlock…

bozo,

That’s a good idea, I’ll have to try for that. I’m hoping it’s not, because that would be obnoxious - It’ll be painful to wait to run it back in case I miss it.

The more I think about it, the more terrible this badge’s criteria becomes:

  • Is it the per-lap Safe rank?
  • Is it the per-race qualification Safe rank in GP/MP?
  • Does it apply to Mini Prix?
  • Is it “last” in the sense that it’s the last qualifying racer in the penultimate race?
  • Is it “last” in the sense that it’s the last person qualifying on the penultimate lap of a race?
  • If the number of racers drops below the threshold of the Safe rank, does it still count?
  • Does it have to match the Safe rank exactly, thus making it unobtainable if the number of racers drops below the Safe rank?
bozo,

Update: I found someone on Discord who unlocked it by happenstance. You have to finish a Grand Prix race with the lowest possible Safe rank provided the number of racers doesn’t drop below it.

So for example, if the Safe rank bottoms out at 40 to qualify for the next race, you must finish in 40th for it to unlock. If there’s 39 racers or less left in the race and you place last (which technically should meet the criteria), it won’t unlock.

I was hoping this wouldn’t be the case, because virtually every race has enough racers KO’ed to drop below the rank. This is so needlessly situational, and I dislike how it encourages sandbagging.

OG XBox component, outputs to Framemeister but not Sony Trinitron Wega

The Xbox is softmodded and the video is set to 480i non-widescreen. Any idea why it might not be outputting? What I see is the intended output on my 4k tv, but the CRT is a 45° slanted, scrolling, monochrome image that’s heavily warped. My first though was that the softmod had something to do with it, but I’ve seen this...

bozo,

This sounds like it’s actually outputting 480p despite the 480i setting. Can you verify the resolution with the framemeister or a different display?

If you launch a game, is the picture still garbled in-game? It could potentially be a difference between softmod menu and game resolution

bozo,

I can’t tell if I don’t like Starfield, or playing games anymore.

I don’t know your tastes, but it’s probably the latter if you only stick to the AAA realm of games. I sure as hell have burned on them - the indie and mid-budget space is where you’ll find games focused on simply being fun. Hi-Fi Rush, Pizza Tower, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk to name a few that came out this year.

bozo,

Shout out to Gunstar Super Heroes! I feel like many fans of the Genesis original never even knew it got a (VERY good) sequel.

bozo,

For those unaware, Sukapon from Joy Mech Fight is an assist trophy in Smash Ultimate.

bozo,

Honestly, most “professional” game reviews are made by average joe gamers who happen to have a platform to broadcast their thoughts. Most of these writers are not expert players nor are they always well versed in the genre of the game they’re reviewing.

I never understand why people put so much stock into them when their opinions are no more valid than any random person on the internet.

bozo,

FYI, this isn’t exactly news, it’s been publicly announced over a year and a half ago. I’m not a fan of what Reddit’s doing either, but after reading this comment section I feel like this needs to be put into perspective a bit.

bozo,

Come hang out with the CRT fanbase!

[OC] Searching for the weirdest lost Nintendo promo event of all time - a 1999 stunt where they body painted swimsuit-clad college students to promote the Game Boy Color

Before anyone asks - yes, this actually happened and was officially sanctioned by Nintendo of America. As far as I know, I’m the only person on the internet who is actively aware of this existing outside of a few others in a lost media Discord channel where I originally shared this discovery....

bozo,

No, I’ve been focused on the Slamfest search, and no one else is actively looking for this as far as I know.

bozo,

brilliant Game Boy Interface which vastly improves the video quality.

It cannot be overstated just how massive of an improvement GBI is. If you’re using the stock Nintendo Gameboy Player disc/software, you’re playing with an enormous handicap.

bozo,

My app is still working as of July 1st when logged out, haven’t done any patching or anything. New content is loading.

@talklittle hope this isn’t going to incur API charges for you :(

bozo,

NSFW subreddits and posts also still work in RIF when logged out. Maybe it’s just an oversight that’ll be corrected at Reddit HQ next week.
