    I was shown it by a mate, along with soulseek, in like, 2006 or so when in sixth form. It was way better than what I was using at the time (IE)

    At least that’s what I remember, pretty sure that was the date. I remember soulseek was before by a bit actually as we used it for trading At the Drive In and Mars Volta tracks

    I’ve carried on using it because of plugins, adblocks, privacy, etc.

    And from the article, way lazier than I thought it would be. He’s just got an Analogue Pocket and he’s running it through the dock via HDMI. I have an analogue pocket and a Game Boy Camera. I could, and have done this. I used to do this back in the early 00s with a SNES, Super Game Boy and a video capture card during the MSN messenger days!!!

    I was expecting him to actually have something cool and technical, like wiring up proper video out to a Game Boy, but no. Just a hipster writing as if a million people haven’t already done the exact same thing.

    Edit: fwiw I have actually added a native video out, VGA and composite to a stock DMG game boy before. Used a bennvenn board with a cpld. Maybe I was the true hipster all along

    Xenoblade 1 is over a decade old and launched on the Wii. While it is an important game, and was mind-blowing at launch, the sequels surpassed it imo.

    Skip 2 and go straight to 3. The gameplay is a combination of both titles and the battle system is FUN. By the end, you’re changing classes, 7 team members at once in battle - switching between them at will, 12 arts available to each member at once, chain attacks and transformations into massive mech-like beings called Ouroboros where you can really fuck shit up. If you install the rebalance mod it’s even better, battles are fast and if you don’t keep up you can get fucked over quite bad. Or you can just go YOLO and just punch things with the fighter class loaded up with attack gems.

    The story is very strong (endless war between two nations where the lifespan is only ten years (born at 10, die at 20), and your life is replenished by taking others) with some incredible voice acting from the UK cast, the world feels alive - full of warring factions and roaming armies, and the quests all actually mean something now (help any colony and you gain their leader as a computer played party member, as well as their class and weapon that you can assign to other team members and level up through use). The game runs a dream on a good Yuzu setup in 4k 60fps too.

    The great thing about Xenoblade is that you can arguably play the main games in any order and still enjoy the full story. XB2 is super horny, has a fucking terrible menu system and has a lot of it’s own issues, despite it still being a very very good game. But there’s a reason Xenoblade 3 was nominated for Game of the Year at the game awards, you know.
