Busy few days between chores and playing a few PC classics, Medal of Honor Allied Assault, which is still played online thanks to the game's direct IP option. Played this online a lot between 2004-2007. Also, one of my favorites, Magic Carpet. Fun hybrid of a first person shooter with strategy elements.
@Sunsy I've seen memes about Dollar General that basically suggest that it's the new McDonald's or Subway in the retail space; they're just about everywhere lol. I've occasionally found interesting nuggets in them, heck I even bought a replacement "dumb" phone (old Motorola) from them that served me well over two years before I got my first proper job and, eventually, a smart phone in my early 20s.
Wow, I haven't seen any memes on Dollar General. I love it when you find something cool in a budget place. Just made the trip to the store more fun. A replacement phone sounds like a cool find to me, especially since it lasted that long.
FWIW, I actually used a flip phone up until 2020. I was originally going to get a smart phone after moving, but paying rent got more important for mom, so I waited on my smart phone. When mom finally got one, we both went with an iPhone because mom's familiar to her iPad, and me having one I can help her easily.
@Sunsy Thanks for showing me the video. I actually enabled the widescreen mode when playing the game and it looks great, albeit kind of letterboxed. I actually tried out the cinema option for curiosity's sake, and it's even more letterboxed. So I went with the regular widescreen option. It's really cool that it's a thing, I know that a few GameCube games have a widescreen option as well. I might change the controls like that, though I've already adapted to the default controls so I'm in no rush. Thanks again though.
I think I first pulled off the Minus World glitch on the 3DS Virtual Console version, which I got for free as a 3DS ambassador. Before that, I couldn't get the glitch to work, so I just played normally. Which is what I pretty much always do anyway, lol. Shifting gears just a little bit, I like playing games either casually, or trying to go for all the collectables, like getting all the Power Stars/Moons in 3D Mario games. I'm usually confident enough to do so in platformers.
You're welcome, hope it helps with the controls if you want to try them, but sounds like you got the hang of it. I'm guessing cinema is more or less like the wider widescreen that most movies used. Didn't know GoldenEye even had that option. Yeah, I was playing Jimmy Neutron Jet Fusion a few years ago in widescreen thanks to my current TV. Also Need for Speed Most Wanted supported widescreen. These are two GameCube games I have that support it.
Yeah, I do feel Minus World has no point other than just a fun thing to do, which it is. Cool, I don't think I've tried going for everything in a game, I usually like playing from start to finish, and doing the other stuff after beating the game, to add some extra stuff to post game. Especially exploration stuff, it always amuses me whenever I find something I missed first time playing.
Quick question for those tech savvy around here: how do you get videos to play under comments? I try putting them in every now and again and all that shows up is the URL. It works fine, but I've seen other people have the video be playable from the article and I'm curious how you guys manage it 🤔

@Fizza I believe you do it like this.
Edit: That worked, you paste the URL a line after everything else. It's that easy, who doesn't love copy and paste?

Let me give it a go:
EDIT: Well it works here but the same trick doesn't seem to be applicable to my comment. Would you mind giving it a look to see if there's anything I've done wrong? It's the one I made under the Direct announcement if you're curious.
@Anti-Matter The gym leaders from gen 1 and 2 are surely the best ones, but I'm just surprised that they managed to produce something noteworthy and memorable in SV. Everything after 2nd gen is a blur to me because it all looks the same (except for Aloha). Also, Iono's outfit is ultra cute, and so is her personality.
As a sidenote, "Male characters with feminine long hair, female characters with masculine outfits" doesn't seem like anything wrong. Honestly, I hate this toxic approach that men and women have to follow a defined look and that men that dress/look differently are to be frowned upon, like in 1800s.
@ComfyAko I'm 90% sure that @Anti-matter doesn't like any female characters, simply because they're not buff men. (Okay, there are a couple of exceptions but not many, and he definitely doesn't like ones with typically cute/attractive designs.)
