  • It is impossible to beat every (single-player; possible; human-made content) video game

    Jump

  • Have you heard of the cancelled Penn and Teller video game Desert Bus?

    It takes 8 hours to beat, requires your constant attention, and can't be paused. I'd say that still falls into the "possible to beat" but you could keep pushing the limits further.

    What if there were 10 levels like that but you can pause between levels? Still technically possible. What about 1000 levels? That requires almost a year of active playtime, but there are pro players with that many hours in their game. Where's the limit? 10K? 50K? 500K? I don't know.

    Of course, this is all just a random thought experience on what it means for a game to be possible to beat. I don't think there's an empirical way to define the boundary between possible and impossible, but we could also just restrict it to "games that have been beaten at least once by someone and are provably beatable".

    Ultimately I do agree with you though. There are just too many games out there for this to be possible anyway.

  • When you plug Sonic 3 into Sonic & Knuckles, that's what Sonic 3 was intended to be. But they couldn't finish it in time, so they split them into separate games. That's why when you play Sonic 3 & Knuckles, you don't just play Sonic 3 as Knuckles, you play through both Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles (as opposed to Sonic 2 where you only play through Sonic 2 levels as Knuckles).

  • Can someone help me "get" Prince?

    Jump

  • I didn't really "get" Prince at first either. His biggest radio hits didn't quite click for me. But then I watched a full concert video and loved it. He was just radiating energy the entire show in a way that wasn't quite captured by the studio recordings IMO. And I think it's one thing to read that he was an incredible multi-instrumentalist versus actually watching him absolutely shred on several different instruments at different times throughout the show.

  • Do you cheat in video games?

    Jump

  • The one and only time I "cheated" at Elden Ring was to spawn in some DLC weapons (hand-to-hand arts and perfume bottles) for a brand new character. Not because they were overpowered but because I hadn't used them on any of my previous characters and they looked fun so I wanted to use them for a full playthrough. And they were quite fun. Better than I expected too, but certainly not top tier weapons.

    Of course I could have just asked a friend to drop them for me instead but it was easier to just "cheat" them in :)

  • Don't forget to make a 2nd save file just in case.

    Jump

  • Only the most recent.

    I also have never had any issues with game breaking bugs like that. I've encountered some glitches but nothing a save+reload couldn't fix. Everything just resets to its normal spawn point.

  • The Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh dies at 84

    Jump

  • RIP to a legend

    For the last couple decades, Phil was an outspoken advocate for organ donations thanks to a donor named Cody who saved his life. Every concert he would ask people to consider becoming an organ donor. If you're not already, think about it. As Phil said, you could "save the life of someone you'll never meet".

  • Do you know any mobile games that don't suck?

    Jump

  • I really liked Dawncaster but then I didn't play it for awhile and when I came back it had changed significantly and all the builds that I used to win with consistently no longer worked out. Honestly it's probably more balanced now than before but I haven't spent enough time with it to get good again.
