    I seriously

    Cannot see the stutter everyone is saying is ruining Links Awakening

    I see it, but isn't half as bad as people make it out to be

    The framerate dips every now and then, big freakin whoop

    I feel like every video I see is talking about how it makes it unplayable and I literally can't see what the fuck they're talking about

    I accept that its there but like you said it doesn't seem nearly as bad as people are saying

    I only note the framerate at the exact moment it drops or goes back up to... whatever the good one is

    Outside of the moment of the shift I couldn't tell you

    I know I talk about the Aftermath Show being the best piece of Giant Bomb content now, but this week has a segment where Ben starts singing the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny from memory and then immediately cuts to a voicemail from someone asking for how to look cool while passing out

    No but you see, Brad is a White Man who likes Real Video Games like Quake and Starcraft so obviously by default he should be on the Gamers' Side in this Imaginary War.

    As far as the framerate in Link's Awakening goes, I just got done playing Control, which is pretty rough on that front even on a PS4 Pro, so Link's Awakening's fps seems perfect by comparison

    Dick pill advocate Robert Evens, disgruntled millennial avatar Cody Johnston, and very nice lady Katy Stoll just started a podcast call Worst Year Ever about the 2020 elections.

    It's going to be a very good alternative to the shit we were talking about up page.

    If our EA President is this bad I cannot possibly imagine what he'd be like if he ever released.

    I am at work so I am not sure but it looks like they realized DK64 is a boring game to watch and a nightmare to play and they are now playing Mario 64 instead?

    But they also misinterpreted their own rules and have been spinning the wheel for the wrong reason this whole time so they DID make this outcome way more likely than it should have been and I know I shouldn't be over here ombudsmanning this dumb game they made up themselves but here we are

    yeah honestly they probably spin the wheel about a hundred times every episode, this wasn't actually all that unlikely given that

    Anyway I haven't really been watching it because I've never finished DK64 and I like watching these things when I'm more familiar with the game and now I guess I'm gonna watch it.

    Hah! Thats fair

    I just

    really don't like mario 64 at all

    DK64 at least has this kind of interesting train wreck quality to it that I enjoy

    Mario 64 is such a FLAT game for me. The art direction is bland, it doesn't have a ton of character

    It feels empty to me other than some very high highs, admittedly.

    Good music.

    There could still be a GUH HUH space on the wheel that means they shift to Banjo.

    Super Mario 64 is a very Important game that invented... literally everything about 3D video games that Doom didn't get to first

    it's also borderline unplayable by modern standards, extremely blandly designed and should only be played for historical curiosity (or nostalgic affection)

    much like Super Mario Bros., now that I think about it

    I think mario bros has some really interesting things to teach about teaching the player the rules of the game naturally, but yeah it's not especially fun at this point

    Lost levels though hell yeah

    I would rather play DK64 before Banjo or Mario 64 in 2019

    This is not necessarily an indicator of quality
