I use jap audio in 98% of my games so I don't have to A) Listen to old hags failing catastrophically at sounding like young girls (often with the worst valley girl accent in existence) and B) Don't have to suffer through burgers absolutely butchering the pronunciation of japanese names.

It's so depressing that the DKR and SBK revivals on DS were such dumpster fires, because those were my favorite two racers on the 64. DKR for the legitimately challenging single player you are some kind of robot if you beat Wizpig in under two hours of practice, and SBK2 for couch mutiplayer with buddies. Now they're both effectively extinct.

thats a good change. It was a novel idea at the time but dying at 95 notes is the worst feeling. Before you say get good, imagine if all other collectibles had the same system then tell me it would be a better game.

Yeah wikis feel like this clinical impartial impersonal thing. Forums felt so alive in comparison. I knew the game/anime was dead when the forums died down and eventually went offline. GameFAQs boards took longer to die and were an even sadder place, it was as if my favorite games were desperately holding onto life. Every time someone asked a question there it gave me a burst of hope only for it to die again. Wikis are the opposite, they literally immortalize the game in their quest for knowledge. I can go to cutting room floor and learn my favorite games had stuff I didn't even know existed hidden in them. But where did all this knowledge and secrets come from? In my perspective they simply randomly appeared on the wiki which I randomly stumbled onto, as if it had not been made by people. Who figured this stuff out? Can I join a group like that?

I look at those discords people create here as an attempt to do this again, meet people with names and socialize. I joined some but they were boring and aimless. It just wasn't the same... Or maybe I've spent so much time here I forgot how to socialize. I don't know.

I'm a foreigner who actually improved my English skills by talking to people on forums as a 12-13 year old. I wish I had kept in touch with those people. Remember MSN messenger? I think at some point I had added everyone from the board, even the sysop. I talked and was friends with everyone. There was this actual teenage girl who'd have cyber sex with people, it was fucked up. She started talking to me because I posted a shitty fanfiction on the board and she liked it. I was just a 13 year old kid.
