Gamecom? It's bloody awful. Because there's no Super Dungeon Maker on it.

To be fair, Sonic 3's Tiger LCD game was EXTREMELY successful, and business with other SEGA properties was also booming, Tiger and SEGA probably thought it was the best way to get portable Sonic at that point other than admitting the Game Boy and it's library blew the Game Gear out of the water

They put a fast paced aggressive fighting game on a black and white handheld so anything is possible.

Apparently, this is the first Sonic game released on a platform that is not a Sega console or a PC.

Another in the line of terrible Sega decisions.

Worse than that, they also removed one of Sonic's most important moves as well. You know, Sonic, the *one-button platformer*

especially considering the state of, whatever the fuck mark's channel is now.

Holy shit Classic Game Room is such a throwback.

no it is running slow. I played one of these like 10 years ago because my grandparents inexplicably had one just sitting around. the startup sound is WAY slower than its supposed to be.

As someone deeper into emulation than most, I kept trying to tell chat "No, the voice channel audio is slow, but everything else is just how this console actually was unfortunately" Except with out all the ghosting from the PDA-level screens these things had.

There's another one, but it's a huge MESS, honestly.

i binged their videos back in 2011 even tho i didnt speak english back then lol but i didnt care i just wanted to see all videogames in the world, you know what an fm towns marty is? i learned about it waay back in this weird era and even played games on an emulator, did this to other consoles, it was my jam

For a while it felt like whenever I looked up a slightly obscure or under-the-radar game, he was always the first result.

He really did have a vibe back in the day.

I dunno, the vaguely sexual moaning was pretty funny in itself.

Atari Jaguar did the same thing. Gutsy to insult your target audience.

With the tools they were given, what's here is absolutely amazing. Completely crap game objectively mind you, but on a technical level it's astounding how much of SOTN they crammed into this pos.

​@@warbossgegguz679 Yeah! On a technical level it's extremely impressive tbh.

@@Amiculi That's a great descriptor for it.

@@Amiculi For real - the screen had this awful ghosting that made any motion look like a blurry mess. I can actually tell what's happening in the emulation - huge improvement.

Well. It did seem like the games were trying to kill everyone's speakers/headphones on multiple occasions.

I want Vinny to do another Saturn pack. Thunder Force V, Shinrei Jusatsushi Taromaru and Panzer Dragoon Saga would be a fun stream to watch.

It's emulated. No capture card involved

@GoldenSpoon this is what I mean though, you know how certain neural networks will produce one specific output all the time if its not trained with all the fancy mathematical bells and whistles that stop you having a huge spike on the graph as it trains? I'm wondering if "foreign" is the word that the speech to text neural network picks out the most. OK bear with me here, I need to elaborate on this. So, the Adobe enhance video has "foreign" appear EVERYWHERE, I think maybe the voice that that neural network recreates by default, triggers the part of the caption neural network that interprets an unknown word as "foreign". Finally, something interesting I've found is that the 3 models of the jukebox ai will generate their own distinct things when it has no idea what to generate. The 5b lyrics model generates slam poetry read by a young woman, the 5b model generates creepy tonal droning, and 1b lyrics generates Wind in a microphone. Finally, we all know that gpt-3 generates HTML as its default output, regardless of whether it's the code or natural language variant. Which begs the question; are neural networks still biased? Surely if all they're generating is some variant of the word foreign, some robotic sounding woman rambling, loud wind noises or human readable speech patterns around some HTML of the response, if this is what an ai considers the default for everything, then different biases could make entirely new neural networks trained off of the exact same dataset. Or I don't know how neural networks work. That's also a possibility.

I have this theory that video games and TV and basically all electronic entertainment (other than browsing the Internet for information I guess) is made by people to widen the gap between consumers and creators.

@@JacobKinsley It's a fairly common and far back reaching concept that's been sort of expanded into a general political commentary these days. ""Bread and circuses" (or bread and games; from Latin: panem et circenses) is a metonymic phrase referring to superficial appeasement. It is attributed to Juvenal (Satires, Satire X), a Roman poet active in the late first and early second century CE, and is used commonly in cultural, particularly political, contexts. "
