Man I know emulators are technically considered piracy I guess, and I can see why it would be an issue with newer games (not that most emulators are advanced enough for that anyway), but I just… hhhhhh the way the video game industry operates in regards to old games is so fucking stupid. It’s like

Gamers: Hey, I’m really interested in this game you made a long time ago! Can I play it?
Game companies: No. 
Gamers: But I’ll give you money!
Game companies: We no longer manufacture, support, or distribute that game or the console it’s available on. There’s no way for you to buy it.
Gamers: Well, what about this slightly-newer-but-still-outdated game that was never released in my region? Can I play that? I’ll give you money.
Game companies: No. You’re only allowed to play games from your region. You can’t buy it from us.
Gamers: So, you don’t provide any way for me to purchase these games from you, or to play them in any form?
Game companies: Correct. We don’t care about these games anymore. They might as well not exist.
Some guy on the internet: Hey, I found some old and foreign games that aren’t sold or available to play anywhere, so I fixed them up so everyone can play them now for free! Here you go! 🙂
Game companies: ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT. HOW DARE YOU STEAL OUR PROFITS. PLAY THE GAMES LEGALLY OR DIE.
Gamers: But you just said there’s no way to play them-
Game companies: FUCK YOU

They did it, they beat the final boss of video games.

The dictatorship if the Gamertariat

also get dead cells because despite the collection of terms used to describe it it’s actually the one example of them that pulls it off well + it’s going to be fully released as 1.0 on like august 7th or some shit, not that it matters. it’s already a fairly complete game and will have free updates + dlc in the future.

yeah it’s incredible buy it

More facts

….maybe that’s why I listen to Skyrim and Mass Effect when I’m writing.

Just going to leave that there for anyone who needs it

this is true. whenever i study, write, or other university things, i always listened to game music, film musics and classical. (and maybe a playlist of adventure time and starwars). it makes me super focused!

More advice from a gamer and psych major. Make two playlists! One with the softer, more flowing music, like what you hear while traveling in a game. Name it “Field music.” This kind of music is supposed to just keep the flow as you travel in the game and it keeps pressure even.

Now take all the high-intensity battle music and make a playlist called “Boss Fight.” This music is supposed to make you feel just a bit desperate, but also empowered and badass. This is good for VERY CLOSE DEADLINES and “HOLY SHIT THREE PARAGRAPHS TO GO I GOT THIS.” It helps you get reenergized and gets you pumped to push through the last bit.

This is how I study and write papers.

For those of us who like lyrics, pick something NOT in the language you are writing in. When you’re writing in English and listening to English music it lowers your ability to write as well as you could because your brain is also interpreting the music.

If you’ve got 4 hours or close to that to work on something, I recommend this:

It’s wild but it fits the criteria and works for me.
