Retro games and emulation - Discuss retro shit in case you're stuck in the past or a hipster

I reject this reasoning

It's nice because it allows you to double back and effectively cancel a jump if you can already tell you misjudged the distance. In a game where enemies are constantly spawning and respawning and attacking you from off screen, not having to fully commit to every jump feels like an improvement to me. And I haven't even minded the platforming in Rolling Thunder as much as most people seem to.

HG101 is really hit and miss. I think I've talked about my experiences there (used to be one of my favorites, actually) but I started to really zone out when they redesigned the site to that bland look and took away the way to view everything on the site on one page and just started focusing on glazing modern circlejerk indies.

I've attached a quote from a review about a certain well-known title, censoring the name. It's not written by Kurt Kalata but it may as well be with its hatred toward gamers and generally bad taste.

You’re not clever.

It wasn't supposed to be a difficult challenge.
