I also think Penny's Big Breakaway has gotten lost in the shuffle. Looks like an excellent, focused platformer and it's got the pedigree.
 
I look forward to platformers with novel gimmicks. The yoyo tricks they showed looked fun.

Would it be too much to ask to have a second yoyo and do some webslinging?

For those unwilling to open the video: Crusader of Centy, Ghouls 'n' Ghosts, Landstalker, and The Revenge of Shinobi have been added to the NSO+ Genesis lineup.

that Landstalker announcement was gonna make me ask where's Light Crusader, but it turns out that Nintendo's over a year ahead of me

go play Light Crusader

Oh, I wonder if analog controls and rewind would make Landstalker more playable.
Crusader of Centy is one of the top tier Zeldos of the 16 bit era, so I'm also jazzed for that

Ever play a game you want to root for but just can't? For me, that's Clockwork Aquario, a game that's brain-drainingly dumb even by the standards of mid 1990s arcade games. It looks nice, but it doesn't even do what little it does especially well. More information in the link.

Yeah, it's simultaneously a game I'm glad was able to escape unfinished ROM form and one I would most definitely pass over for a cartoony game by Capcom or Taito that I know I'd enjoy more.

Uh, sure. But in turn, I'd like to politely request that people read the damn thing.

EDIT: Oh, I see a few people actually did read the damn thing! Thanks.

Yeah, I got the point with the first warning. Feel free to browbeat me at your leisure, though.

Your previous response ("Uh, sure") seems to imply that you didn't understand why you were being asked to change your language. VV explained it. Nobody is browbeating you.

Fearful asymmetry
I acknowledged the complaint and changed my comment, which I had no idea was considered a slur, and continued to get attacked. I'd call that browbeating.

NOT exactly. I was asked to change phrasing that Lincoln found uncomfortable. (Do you just pick phrases out of a hat and determine that they're "offensive?" I've never had anyone react to the term I used like you did.) I did exactly as I was instructed, and you continued to harangue me about it, perhaps to pump more air into your already bloated sense of sanctimony. Do you feel adequately superior to me now? Or did you need to pat yourself on the back a little while longer? Go ahead, I'll wait.

Don't think I don't remember what you people did to Jeremy Parish. He started this forum, you knifed him in the back and demonized him. If you're going to continue to act like this, feel free to set me on the same rail you ran him out on.

did i do all of that?

There were people upset about the use of that term in SNL like a decade ago (those Stefan skits with Bill Hader used the term a lot), it ain't new. But if it's new to you, that's okay, change it, move on, no need to accuse people of browbeating you or being sanctimonious. I don't understand why you get so upset when stuff like this comes up - I nearly posted about it before lincoln did but figured you'd probably flip out so I passed.

ArugulaZ, people have been more than kind with you in this thread, and your response has been over the top, besides being grossly misinformed. I would recommend restraint in your response while the mod team considers your behavior towards Talking Time members, here and other places (such as Mastadon) and what to do about it going forward.

Dude. It’s an outdated term. Offensive on its face. I get you’re feeling attacked but this over the top reaction isn’t going to help. Take a few minutes to calm down.

ArugulaZ went to social media to continue at great length. Between here and there, he demonstrated a frankly alarming degree of hostility toward specific members (including some who weren't even present in this conversation) and this community in general. After considering members' feedback and deliberating amongst ourselves, it has been decided, for the security and comfort of everyone here, he is banned permanently.

As someone who had many unpleasant interactions with said person over the years and watched others endure the same, yes, it was.
