It's not as stylistically different as Predator 2 was, and it doesn't beat you over the head with the original flick as Predators did. It's a fine third sequel.

And using themes from Alan Silverstri's score from the first flick was a nice touch. Not just for cheap references, because the score fit everything very well.

Flashback isn't actually a vector polygon based game, but at least its cutscenes were. I don't quite understand why they just slapped a terrible filter (not shown here) on them instead of re-rendering them at higher resolution like in Another World updates. https://x.com/dosnostalgic/status/1072687305390022656
Replying to @dosnostalgic
Unlike Another World flashback cutscenes are actually really low res: 240x128. Hell, even the game itself is rather low res. That's because its primary target platform during development was the Megadrive/Genesis. And that's why the game itself isn't vector.
Replying to @zarawesome
I'm assuming lots of things, but neither of these two would be a factor in this case.

Yep
I see a very common thing among immigrants: people stick to so much to their own communities & culture, they struggle to understand English when after years of being here.
Replying to @dosnostalgic
I think instead of pushing classes and all that other stuff on people (Also important, although it wasn't in my case) other immigrants should encourage people to submerge themselves into a foreign language as much as possible.
Replying to @dosnostalgic
That doesn't mean you have to abandon your family, or your culture. Sticking to what you know can be very comforting when you're in a situation when everything around you is different and somewhat alien.
Replying to @dosnostalgic
But sticking to it too much can certainly be harmful in a long run. And it doesn't really have to be this way. Watching American films and listening to pop music is how I managed to get my English to some slightly usable level shortly after moving to the States.
Replying to @dosnostalgic
In my particular case I would just walk to the library (about 2 miles, so it wasn't all that close) once a week, and check out as many tapes & DVDs as I was allowed, and then I'd watch them throughout the week. Helped with US pop culture knowledge too, but that wasn't the point.

The original is definitely better, but there isn't much SB+AdLib music out there, so this is also cool.

So I was planning on putting out at least 3 new videos in December, but because of my work & other things I'm lucky if I even get to finish one before the end of the year. However, this means that January will be full of content. (Unless I get run over by a truck or something)

So I got one of them NES Minis for Xmas, and I won't rest until I can play Duke Nukem and DOOM on it. https://x.com/dosnostalgic/status/1078143011253559297
Replying to @VoltySquirrel
Trust me, I already have. 😉
Replying to @dosnostalgic
NES Mini is cute, but I literally had to have it unlocked 5 minutes after I got it because, come on, what kind of a NES is it without CONTRA?
Replying to @dosnostalgic
Then, of course, I had to get the Japanese version because it has animated backgrounds & shit, but it's not supported by Nintendo's own emulator, so I had to get RetroArch on there, and by that point is was already half way down the rabbit hole.
Replying to @MikkeyAlias
I'm gonna get a Wii U Pro controller for it anyway.
Replying to @MikkeyAlias
Yes
Replying to @cosmiclagomorph
Yes?
Btw, if you've never played the Japanese version of Contra, you really should. It's funny to see these differences in a game you've been playing for 25 years. https://x.com/dosnostalgic/status/1078422103072927747
Replying to @cosmiclagomorph
Yes, but it's more interesting to fuck around with something I don't have 30 years of experience with. Not to mention NES Mini is portable, so one cast surprise people with DOOM and Monkey Island alongside Mario.

I'm pretty sure it's to force a VGA monitor into a letterbox format. Not sure exactly why they'd want that, but all the graphics in the game reflect that, as they are 1:1 pixels.
In DOS we trust.

Sometimes games actually use 1:1 video modes instead of 320x200.
