Nobody fears Trump, he's just a fat, aging and delusional buffoon who only shouts and lies like it is his second nature behind breathing.

But that's what makes GIMP special. There's some users who feel that Photoshop has stopped being relevant for some uses among those users. GIMP may be a decade behind but it could be swimming in what people remembered best about Photoshop before its enshittification and retains that kind of nature.

The day the Internet Archive was being attacked and sued, was the signal.

Well for one thing - document heavily on the idea of the product. This is a must. Figure out your target audience - who or what is this for? Figure out an rough draft of costs and ideas how much you'd like to have sold this for.

And then once you figure all of that out, you're going to need to file a patent.

Wherever and however this idea of yours will come about, these are the kind of things that are important to deal with.

They released the original Anniversary Collection (Mixed 8-Bit and 16-Bit games) in 2019, Advance Collection (The GBA games + Dracula X on SNES) in 2021 and the Dominus Collection (The DS games) last year. So, there's probably some hope that maybe the next collection would probably, maybe have Symphony of the Night, Rondo of Blood, the Game Boy games, the N64 games and maybe a few PS2 ones? I don't know where they could go from there but that's all that's left as to what to re-release.

Either way, I don't have all the time in the world for them to get around to it.

Thanks for posting this.

I long gave up though on the PSP version beforehand, though am keeping it around because there are some games that I never got the chance to play on the PSP. So I pirated them and kept everything PSP for future use.

The remake on the PSP, feels so damn stiff! Like you make an action, you're committed to it and you have almost no way to change course or immediately pounce out of a situation. That was what was pissing me off so much and I failed so many times trying to get to Stage 4 and figure out where I needed to go in it to unlock the game. The guides are vague and no videos that I watched really showed where you had to go.

So I returned to trying to pirate the Turbo Grafix, the Turbo CD (acquiring all BIOs) and downloaded at least 3 files of Rondo of Blood. After much tinkering, trying and error, I finally have a working copy. And in that game, the flow of the game felt much smoother than the remake, reinforcing my feelings earlier about the remake on the PSP.

Again - fuck Konami.

They threw Dracula X into the collection with the GBA games. That made no sense, lol.

That's why I call the Super Bowl the Commercial Bowl. It's one of the American's biggest hypocrisies. We bitch and gripe about seeing so many ads and commercials, but we take one day out of the year to focus on one sports event that are now primarily known for commercials, trailers and reveals.

AND THEN WE GO BACK TO BITCHING ABOUT COMMERCIALS THE NEXT FUCKING DAY! THIS IS WHY WE WILL ALWAYS SEE TONS OF COMMERCIALS AND ADS!

Golf is offensively boring, because it is such an elitist sport, takes way too much land to even play, we're talking multiple football fields and stadiums here. The only appeal it attracts are just richie losers with boring personalities, older people and just plain elitist people. The only time Golf got even remotely interesting, was when Tiger Wood was playing. But since that era is long and gone, it is straight back to the basics.

Honorable mentions:

Racing - All of it. I don't care if it's Nascar, Formula 1, Truck Series .etc You are essentially watching people go around and around any track. All the while, corporate sponsorships galore, everything is a walking living billboard for so many sponsored companies trying to remind you what to buy or subscribe.

Poker - I loathed the days when sports networks decided, even ESPN for a while, to broadcast Poker events. Just watching a bunch of random gamblers, at a table, playing cards, for hours. What a productive event to broadcast...

The Kentucky Derby - Predates vehicular racing, only with horses and not as much sponsorship. It's just another venue to gamble at and disgusts me it is over the lives of horses.

All Olympic Events - The only things the Olympics are currently famous for, are what's going on around it politically and whether there's controversy. It has lost a lot of relevance and importance for decades now.

Sir, this instance is called 'No Stupid Questions'.

This is by and large - a stupid question.

This administration was established for one goal and one goal only - destroy shit. They're doing that with tremendous success.

Asking for anything else is obviously out of their depth, every single one of them.

 

All I want to do is play Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. That's all I want to play right now. But, leave it to Konami to not ever bundle it in any of the Castlevania bundles they've released so far. And leave it to Konami to exclusively lock it to a small bundle that is exclusive to a previous gen console such as the PS4 with NO plans of ever reaching PC.

So what are my options now? Emulate of course, so I opted to pirate a copy of Dracula X Chronicles for the PSP after I read that you can play Rondo of Blood. But leave it to Konami to not make it that simple, because you have to complete a certain task in a certain stage at a certain part just to simply UNLOCK the fucking version!

My other option is to emulate the PC-Engine and go through yet another obstacle course just to get one fucking game to run.

This is what brings my blood to a boil, is when there had been perfect opportunities and chances for game devs to do the obvious. If there is a high demand for a game that you know people would want to fucking play, you fucking bundle it and fucking release it.

You do not have a damn argument to stand by against piracy, game devs, when you have to make it such a pain in the ass for people to spend time and effort just to play a game YOU didn't want to simply release!

How do you fuck up this badly, Konami? Technically speaking, Rondo of Blood is a 16-bit game, so there was no excuses to have not included it in the initial Castlevania Anniversary Collection. But of course, just nostalgia bait everyone with all of the other games they could've emulated several times as easier than it is just to get the ONE game you didn't want to bundle.

So fuck you.
