Phantasy Star IV on the Genesis retailed for $99 in the US in 1995. That's like a game being $200 now. I think Star Fox 64 was $80, but it came with a rumble pak at least.

Then what are they doing here?

More than 1,000 classic RPGs, strategy games, and horror greats are wildly cheap in GOG's "Classics" PC sale, and are we OK with Skyrim officially being labeled an "old game?" in c/games@sh.itjust.works

People who complain about article paywalls in comments are annoying and add nothing of any use to a discussion. in c/unpopularopinion@lemmy.world

You can read paywalled articles. You aren't considering that possibilty because you think you're entitled to everything for free, and you think your commentary is so valuable that it should always be made available to you because otherwise you can't participate? It isn't. If that's not your point, what is it?

We all block advirtisements, so if the pervasive attitude towards paying for written articles is hostile, what are we left with? I guess AI can replace human writers and that will be just fine.

You're not really making a point. Of course, you may not be trying to.

Seemed like an appropriate thing to post, but I guess it's not what this community wants. 😏

So this is it, is trump god? Will Republicans sacrifice their own well being to own the libs? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I really don't think even half of Trump voters voted for him because they think God wanted them to, and Trump voters don't make up half the population.

Its bright red, maybe toward purple! Brown is dark orange.

Are people in the US aware that they are now definitely a rogue state, or is this fact covered up by the usual patriotism somehow? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[–] bilb@lem.monster 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The phrase "rogue state" to me always just sorta meant "uncooperative with the United States," which the United States can't be. I'm sure there's a more useful definition.
