There’s that Shredder fight in TMNT Turtles in Time where you’re throwing foot soldiers at the screen. Also that first boss in Battletoads.

I’m not the only one seeing the SS rune in the space between the 4 and 7, am I? That had to be intentional.

You just unlocked a core memory. I forgot all about those graphs and the little red plastic strips you used to view them.

Yes. The battery compartment makes a handy seat too, which we definitely probably maybe never rode on. Ahem.

Oh we already know: biofilters.

Not one person said Goldeneye? Wow. The main menu is good of course, but that pause music is legendary.

If you click the Legends button there’s info from the pre-Disney era. Apparently the term dates back to 1983.

“We need some more secret sauce! Put this mayonnaise in the sun.”

Sadly it was much more tame: search engines. They’ve been crawling Lemmy for a couple years now. I remembered just enough to get hits on that post from a couple instances. Luckily one didn’t delete it when OP scrapped the original. I’m a bit curious myself why that is, but in any case it gives us a backup of the post.

I found a federated copy of the post: https://m.lemmy.hostux.net/posts/l.hostux.net/c/[email protected]/comments/386931

The post’s text is gone and OP’s account is deleted, but the username and full discussion are there.

Pretty sure this is the real one:

Ouch. Haven’t seen it myself, but that ending must’ve been dire.

Yes, they work in the line “they’re not gonna sink this battleship!”. When you’re committed to this absurd premise, you pretty much have to say it.

Battleship. It’s just such a bizarre license for a movie, and certainly one nobody ever asked for. (Well, outside Hasbro execs clearly desperate for another Transformers-level hit.)

Oddly watchable in a big dumb fun kind of way, at least. And hey, it has Jesse Plemons not playing a total sociopath, so that’s neat.

Harmony of Dissonance on the GBA was a pretty good entry too, though with a couple minor issues. Circle of the Moon inadvertently highlighted how hard it was to see the original GBA screen (too dark, and it caught reflections like crazy), so Konami overcorrected with Harmony and focused too much on the graphics. Unfortunately they put so much processing into the visuals that there wasn’t much room left for music samples so it’s all chiptunes. That’s not necessarily bad but it did feel like a step backwards.

The gameplay was fun, at least. It’s been a while but I recall a neat system combining the various classic sub weapons with different magic elements.

It’s worth playing the whole GBA trilogy, but do it in order. After Aria you likely won’t want to go back to the others.

Either they have seen it but were so traumatized they can never speak of it, or they assumed it was a fever dream (“duck boobs? Nah, I must’ve dreamt that…”).

But yes, I saw it several times as a kid yet couldn’t stand 5 minutes of it as an adult. Such a profoundly awful movie with bizarrely good special effects.

On VHS: Moonraker. A truly terrible Bond film, but I was too young to understand that.

And then finding out years later that lamp pic really was what you thought:

Edit: Or not? It’s lies all the way down…
