Hi, I'm DeadBored 🙋🏿♂️👋🏿
I'm extremely indecisive, so my favourites lists aren't top 10s (mostly random picks due to the limit).
As such, I'm constantly revising my scores. Anything I rate a 6 or higher is something I'd revisit.
I love Avant Garde anime, but can find enjoyment in anything with well-written characters & story.
Feel free to send a friend request :)

Yeah, entirely! Emulators are a great way to truly re-live and experience older works as they should be. I really like how Nintendo released a lot of their games for the Switch with the Switch Online subscription, but genuinely, I get so much more when I play those same games on an emulator. There's just a tinge of unruly-ness to it that makes it feel more authentic than even the official re-release. And I swear I'll get to Metroid real soon, it displeases and shames my Nintendo-obsessed self to not have played it after all this time xd Speaking of Nintendo, I'm pretty bummed out that the Switch 2 will have games exclusive to it, it looks the exact same as the Switch so you KNOW it's just for money's sake x'U Yes!! I love how excitable everyone becomes at fighter game competitions, plus the absolute skill that some of the players have. I participated once in a SSBU tournament once but I was beaten to a pulp by round two. Luckily I prefer being a spectator hahaha. But the community genuinely is the best part of fighter games, not only the game itself and fighting with friends, but also the online base where people make interpretations of the characters in animations or edit together scenarios using mimicking he in-game dialogue! It's so cool how dynamic people can get with a simple game. I mean, I cannot deny that even I grow a strange attachment to the characters I play as on a personal level, coming up with barely-tangible storylines to go with my wins and losses x'''D I still hold a grudge against Ryu from the way his CPU destroyed me over and over for hours one time lol
I too never really noticed the quality difference between old and new games until I was watching someone play Super Mario 64 once and some spectating kid nearby was asking his parents how the "box thing" was supposed to look like Mario. That rocked me so hard, I didn't even realize it was possible that anyone COULDN'T see Mario in the games I grew up with ;__; Made me feel old and damaged my soul, but also got me concerned for the future of humanity. I can't believe people honestly think stylization like looks 'bad' or 'wrong'?? Can't relate to that at all. I'd like to think that since indie games are so upheld though, people can still appreciate stylized media!Also I'm genuinely so glad to hear about the successes of lesser-known series, that's genuinely poetic! I too hope that more AAA names get more stylized in the future. It'd be cool if they recognized how many people want media to resemble the good 'ol days again C:
Having a stylistic taste of anime applies to both of us, I think! Like, I know that A Silent Voice and Your Name are without a doubt beautiful works of animation, but Yuasa and Satoshi Kon's works I remember so much more. Not saying they're either movie is bad or anything, but there's a certain charm about those artists' works that makes them unforgettable! It's sad to think there will never be something quite as absurd and fun as Cat Soup or Tokyo Godfathers again...
Oh man, that's swell!! Congratulations for the job offer!! :D I'm sure you'll be just fine, but I'll be wishing you all the luck I can!!
You got great favorites! I can see avant garde is your cup of tea! :D
Knockoff NES and SNES emulators are popular xD I appreciate that they allow so people to experience older media in a way similar to how it was first released! Oooh, Metroid is awesome! I've started it before but never beat it. I really hope to do that someday! Also I've heard a lot of good things about Double Dragon too, looks fun! I'm kinda addicted to fighters right now since I went to an arcade recently and spent a few hours knocking around opponents on Street Fighter II Alpha and Garou: Mark of tht Wolves x'D I swear, those animations pack so much personality! I might have to try out Double Dragon with my sibling sometime soon though... Anyway, I'm so glad you got to enjoy some high quality classics from an early age, it certainly sets the stage for appreciating the growth of quality for modern games! Kids these days who grow up on newer games fail to realize the value of older media, its a bit sad. They don't realize the subtleties and intent behind each pixel when they're used to the crisp and clean graphics. It helps that a lot of indie developers are trying to stylize their games to look retro though, if even a bit!
I got it from nyaa.si, but as far as I know the OVA version specifically was never subbed, though iirc there was not much difference from the first 2 episodes of the tv series.
That said, if you still want the raws and need help with seeding, let me know. Also I think I have machine translated subtitles file for somewhere it if you are fine with that.
I like it so much that you pointed out Jack Conte's music videos, they do feel like an experience exactly! I always really liked the artistic value of them, alongside the insight for his creative process. It almost gives you insight to his passions and personality when he displays his personal process behind the making of his content. It's just cool that he would display such a personal thing like that for people to witness and value. I enjoy that a ton! It's really observant of you to point that out! Also just to throw this n, but his video for Yeah Yeah Yeah is worth checking out too because it breaks his typical style with a more obvious and tangible story, though still surreal.
Hey it's perfectly okay! No need to apologize at all! I feel pretty lucky to still have the consoles I own, I know they're expensive and hard to come by, alongside becoming more rare due to console games being more easily available on PC too, so that's just another way people don't really need consoles these days. ... Also illegal emulators but you didn't hear that from me x'D I'm impressed you managed to be so entertained with an NES too, lol! Although its entirely understandable since 90s games are so darn good :'U Were there any games you especially liked?
No problem at all, thank you for indulging my want to give recommendations! Abandoned Pools is probably my favorite band of the three as well, I'm glad to agree on that! There's such raw emotion behind the instrumentals and lyrics, I've really grown to like them. Incubus has some great less racey songs as well, like Dig, and its pretty neat how versatile they are. I think it's so interesting the way Jack Conte mixes sounds in his music. In his other songs, he'll play music backwards, such as in Lonely Ghost, my favorite of his. The way you can pinpoint layers of sound is just so cool, and his videos that show him physically playing the instruments are really insightful too, as you get to see how he created the song note by note. Really nice stuff to see, it feels very personal! Also, and I’m sure you can agree with this, experimental stuff is really cool!
Aw, how fun! Sounds like a great weekend! :D Speaking of hanging out, do you have any video game consoles? I have a few systems and maybe we could play some multiplayer games if you want! If not, that's okay too!
