I have a PC connected to my TV. And while scrolling through my games, I came across Major Stryker. I saw that it supports Xbox controller. I’ve only played this game with a keyboard, so curiosity got the better of me.

Now if you’re not familiar with Major Stryker, it’s one of those Apogee titles from the early ‘90s. You know, low budget shareware with EGA graphics and Sound Blaster. Major Stryker never got a console release, it’s exclusive to PC even to this day.

Well, having the console experience with Major Stryker—even though I’m not technically using a console—was strange. Good game, definitely one of the best shoot-‘em-ups of the 90s. But it’s strange playing it this way.

It’s just weird seeing this game on a large 4K display. It’s not terrible, it just feels dissonant.

Gym girls are sometimes impressed. But the thing is, because they go to the gym, they can spot the bullshit too.

A few people said that last year’s Prince of Persia game was pretty good. But I didn’t play it.

The 90s and 00s version of U soft was phenomenal. Remember the original Far Cry, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, and Rayman? Everyone loved those games, and they were actually innovative.

But now Ubisoft is formulaic and seems hostile towards the people who buy their games.

Not a whole lot of people know this but this game is part of the longest JRPG franchise ever. Legend of Heroes is a spin-off of Dragon Slayer.

God damn, that’s horrifying.

I’ve been on Reddit for 17 years, and I have no idea what’s going on.

 

Points if Clarence, the guardian angel, is world weary and depressed because things aren’t going so well in heaven any more.

I refuse to believe this is real.

It’s sad because this company used to make good games.

Good for her. She’s right about the USA’s gun smuggling.

Perhaps I should start an investing community. I’m not much of a WSB, but investing can be worthwhile.
