It's 3rd July, so I picked it up from your initial post that it's your birthday. So, allow me to create a thread for you on it. Happy birthday mate @Shagger. I wish you everything you ever deserve and dreamt of to come to reality. Have fun man and go easy on the drinks 😂 !!

What @Crazycrab have said around African continent is the fucking truth. Africa is kinda large continent, but they've failed to capture the eyes of the video game companies establishing branch in various countries in Africa. I believe it is matter of time and Africa will become an attractive option for video game environment.

Happy blated birthday man. Thanks for all your help ever since I have been here.

Happy birthday!!!

I think one thing that people oddly don't seem to take into account is that Africa is a big fucking place! It's a massive continent that's got significant geographical, economic and political diversity. Most of us ignorent European's and American's are aware of that there is a clear difference between France and Germany but seem to assume little to no difference between Uganda and Kenya despite that geographically they sit pretty similar. I'm a subject of this ignorance to but I am able to observe the attitude thay many people observe that the problems that affect "Africa" apply to the whole continent rather than individual countries and regions. South Africa is a very well developed region that actually DOES have some game studios like Clockwork Acorn, and there are others that starve in poverty. If we want to address problems in "Africa", I think the first thing we need to do is address them as problems in Uganda, Rawanda, Angola, Zimbabwe, Somalia........

It could be attributed to the lack of economic/political stability in large parts of the continent. There’s also the issue of modern day infrastructure, for things like roads, electricity, and internet. Some places you’ll only be able to sell your product in the major city(s), but you’d have difficulty transporting the goods to other parts of the country due to poor roads, or warlords, or those other towns don’t have internet or even electricity.

Well, all I saw was a hand making a mess of it's environment and just picking out body organs and tossing it back in where it came from. If it's hilarious to you it's okay, we all do sense humour differently.

Happy Birthday to our beloved @Shagger! Any special plans for the day?

Single.

You suck! 😆 Might be for the best though. Just build a stockpile of nukes and set off a million nukes at once.

It's good that both YouTube and Twitch are keeping each other on their toes with the kind of competition they bring into the industry. It's the only way they will keep giving their users their very best services, otherwise we would see some of the things we witness with some gaming companies that have monopoly over a game's franchise (EA in FIFA).

If catching really funny glitches counts, then I've been lucky as hell in RDR2. From a guy going flying down the main drag in Valentine level with the roofs of the buildings to watching Uncle playing air banjo (and it making music) I've seen all sorts of hilarious glitches in that game. Yesterday I went fishing with Dutch and Hosea, and there was a snake swimming in our boat. It kept merging with Dutch's leg and swimming back out.

Nostalgia is a huge factor for me as well. I still have my old NES and SNES among others. I'm about the only classic gamer here. I play systems from Atari 2600 to N64. I don't play much past that era, but there are a few games I'm on. RDR2 being the main one.

I don't see anything coming out for the rest of the year that I'm like OMG gotta get it. But, I saw that Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp is coming out for the Switch, and I'd be down for playing those again. Loved the first one on the GBA.

I was playing shin megami tensei v tuesday morning and this boss had killed my whole team besides the nahobino(the one fighter in my team of 4 which had to stay alive or else it would be game over). The boss got my HP to like 24/300 as well after using his omagatoki(the limit break type system for this game) attacks on me. Then I had omagatoki bar ready so I just about managed to finish him off in 2 turns with it.

Probably in the arcade when playing super street fighter 2 beating M.Bison with just a fraction of health left like one kick or puch would have defeated me but it diden't happen it was also the first and only time i managed to beat street fighter in the arcade. 10 year old me felt like a boss for weeks.

In a MMORPG called Age Of Wushu, I was just joining clans and being a troll by start fights with other powerful clans and one of the other clans showed up to wipe out the clan I was in. I ducked into a nearby store and it just so happened that my clothing matched the shelves of the store. The enemy players checked the store and didn't see me even when they were right beside me.

Honestly, only games I get stressed out to, are ones with really crap controls and ones where it's overly complicated. Oh and games where there are menus upon menus. Navigation can be a thing that stresses me out in game, because if I can't figure out what menu to go to, then it can be annoying learning that new system. It's why I never got into The Witcher, there was just too much going on.

Most times it's not just the game that you playing that stress you out but the people that you may play with. World of tanks or ships can stress people out if they keep getting bad resuilts

Welcomezz!!

That's a pretty great game actually and one that I never played as well. But Fire Emblem has always been a solid series on Nintendo handhelds.

I'd say any Dark Souls game and I'd add Elden Ring since it was made by the same company, You have to be on your guard all the time and you can't underestimate anyone/anything as that seemingly harmless thing turns out to be what kills you. On top of that, in Dark Souls games, you can't really pause either so it is quite stressing....

I'm going to define stress here as the level of punishment I get from playing that particular game and the worst of them all would be Dark Souls II. It's one of the most cruel games by FromSoftware Inc. There are so many enemies that will kill you with just few strikes and when you die, you are getting back where you died.

Not a city but a county: Yorkshire. You've got the dales and farmlands, the steel city of Sheffield, the coal towns, the shattering village of Skelmanthorpe, and some coastline. Set it during post-WW2 and you could have quite a strong atmosphere for a game. Call it Forlar' Farv (that's Fallout Five for those outside of God's Own County) and sell it for For'y Quid. In the meantime we'll have to settle for that Southern tripe, Fallout: London. I guess that'd be an alright place to explore. Might even work as a Yakuza-style world: compact and true to scale, if your hardware can handle all the pigeons.
