esper What’s your favorite tribute to a video game in another video game?

The birds from Gun Frontier showing up in Battle Garegga is tops for me.

captain

Anyone else having a hard time distinguishing where in the first image TracyDMcGrath the birds are?

Jaffe

The English localization of Battle Garegga is “Battle Greg”

fivedollardare SHOOT I totally forgot about this. I didn’t play it for very long but I remember that being a point that came up in reviews and things. Definitely a neat idea!

@TracyDMcGrath it’s tough for me to tell that those are the same birds! is it clearer in motion?

TracyDMcGrath

exodus the sprites themselves aren’t the same but the way they disperse is and their function as harmless score fodder is. Gun Frontier was a big influence on Garegga and this the most direct visual nod to it.

exodus

TracyDMcGrath ah, I see! the concept of the birds rather than the birds themselves. Now that I own both of these games and my Game Zone is almost set back up, I’ll check it out for myself!

TracyDMcGrath

captain yeah they’re pretty muddy, 6:30 here has them in motion

TracyDMcGrath

And 2:55 here in Battle Garegga

captain

I sort of figured it was my slight color-blindness but I do see it now, thanks

hellomrkearns ~~last year~~ In 2021 my previous phone that I had had for 6 years broke and I had no phone for a period of 3-ish weeks so my Insert Credit Show listening device for that time was my 3ds.
(also tried the Vita but I found loading mp3’s into the 3ds to be way easier)

Gaagaagiins gsk I still think of him as Dude Huge. It is just wonderfully stupid.

is the LG CX an incredible software experience or something? I have blocked every TV I’ve ever owned from network access at a router level, and was pretty shocked to hear tim and frank don’t do that. tim has an apple TV which i know has to be better than whatever comes packaged with it.

is the LG software suite confirmed to not be packaged with all the spyware and garbage that modern TVs always come with these days, or something?

I have one but wouldn’t be able to tell you, I use my TV as my main computer monitor so I’m not reliant on its software at all. I had a Samsung before this and I found that the software experience was a bit more obtrusive there than with my LG CX, but, like, I’m more or less used to ignoring it.

As well, damned if I could name a single one, but there have been software/firmware updates here and there that actually added features.

Gaagaagiins explains why they can't answer your question. Does that answer your question

Without defaming anyone’s home networking choices: no

exodus

esper yeah I block my TVs too (and never set them up to connect to the internet) - where’d you hear that they don’t? maybe I wasn’t paying attention, the cooking going on in the background this episode made it hard for me to concentrate

esper

exodus the whole bit about getting pop up notifications about the Googly Stada, i thought they said that came from the tv itself. maybe they need to do firmware updates, but that seems like the kind of thing you set on a 3-6 month reminder and then go right back to disconnecting.
