Unless there have been some major advancements recently I don’t think much of this is going to be running fully locally.

It’s interesting to keep in mind the basically no one who worked on that game still works for Bethesda.

That’s not really “like” and IVR, that’s literally an IVR.

Most IVR software is programmable to say/do whatever you need it to.

Ultimately both games involve humans that can be killed with guns so yeah I guess it’s partly that. That’s why I wasn’t allowed to play either a kid haha. At least I think that the characters from Jet Force Gemini are humans?

Unrelated but this just reminded me of how my brother and I somehow convinced our mom it was ok to play Golden Eye as long as we used the paintball mode cheat haha.

I got that part. I was wondering what earned it that rating. I can understand the “teen” rating in the US but this article says that in Japan games rated “Z” can only be sold and displayed to people 18+. Games rated “T” in the US can technically be sold to anyone as far as I know.

So what about the game is considered so offensive in Japan?

True. Iirc it got a “T” rating from the ESRB.

What got Jet Force Gemini that rating? I played it as a kid and don’t remember anything that bad. Some dialogue stuff that went over my head?

Retroid and the newer Anbernic devices running Android don’t appeal to me as much personally. I really like the charm of a dedicated Linux OS. Just something about connecting my Google account that really kills it for me.

Aside from that, retroid makes pretty solid devices too from what I understand.

For those looking to buy, the miyoo mini plus is pretty neat. Also Anbernic devices (RGXYZ) are always good.
