@jk ah wow that's really sleek and nice an-... ...where's the mouse and keyboard...

WHERE'S THE MOUSE AND KEYBOARD?! WHAT DID YOU DO TO THEM DELL

@georgespolitzer honestly I think all "ice breaker" events should be about destroying ICE and related things instead of chatting nd revealing personal details about yourself.

after all, nothing brings people together like destroying fascism.

speedrunning video: "at this point we need to build up P-Speed and keep hold of it to get through the level"
me: *nods, understanding fully what P-Speed is*
my brain, also: "hahahahah PEE speed laolololol"
me: "...goddammit brain."

@g1comics Oh heck yes Rebelstar and Chaos: Duel of Wizards were my jam too. I used to play Rebelstar a lot with my little brother. I really liked Lords of Chaos too but the demo I had was really, REALLY hard so I never completed it lol.

@sobsz @monorail (safer, less hilariously awesome method, https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mew_glitch )

@socks Game Brock-en wide open

@monorail one thing that DOES irritate me about gen1 pokemon is the fact that I had a legit pokemon blue cart and a GB classic and long, LONG after I gave both to my little brother because I was A) too bummed out from my cousin destroying my save out of jealousy to play pokemon ever again, and B) didn't wanna spend money on batteries for it, I found out you could catch Mew in Gen 1 through a fairly simple, and safe, glitch.

@jk fuck yes you can dual weirld dymos now

@jk "yo we thought you might not like this product so we sent you TWO of it just so you can be ABSOLUTELY SURE you don't want it."

@g1comics It's super weird too. there was like... a 99% complete version of the ACTUAL Star Raiders 2 that is far closer in design and aesthetic and gameplay to Star Raiders 1, that was cancelled in favour of retooling the Last Starfighter tie-in game instead at the last moment. which is SO weird! The "real" version was released recently though and... dang it looks pretty great actually. Sparse, graphically, but... actually good, heck.

TurrrrrrON

@g1comics Nope! I found out what it was finally after doing a lot of searching. Like despite all my attempts before I could NOT find ANYTHING on it, but randomly I foudn it last night lol. It's called Star Raiders 2, and that game is ACTUALLY originally a "The Last Starfighter" license game, but retooled to be a sequel to Star Raiders for some reason, hence why it's so different to its predecessor and has elements from the first game seemingly shoehorned in.

I think there WAS some kinda tactical screen thing for plotting routes, or travelling around, rather than solely in your cockpit view, that was purely for the combat segments and planetary flying stuff. I think I only played a little of it, and lost the tape years and years ago. Mostly I just flew into suns a lot because I just could not work out what to do in it.

This melting effect was pretty visual too. like, your actual cockpit would start to change colours, going more orange and then yellow and whatnot, and then right as your ship was destroyed, the graphics would make it look like your ship was actually melting, before you got a gameover screen.
it was NOT, i might add, Elite. For a start, it had colour graphics and such rather than wireframes.
