Contrary to what most people assume, the Gamecube was actually more powerful than the PS2 (the RE4 differences help illustrate this). The OG Xbox was overall the most powerful of that gen but even then the Gamecube had it beat in terms of memory speed iirc.

XBLA would have easily been the definitive version had it seen an official release.

By the way, anyone who was a fan of Goldeneye/Perfect Dark should check out the Timesplitters series if you haven't already. It's basically a spiritual successor to them produced by the same key ex-Rare devs in the 2000s.

brilliant Game Boy Interface which vastly improves the video quality.

It cannot be overstated just how massive of an improvement GBI is. If you're using the stock Nintendo Gameboy Player disc/software, you're playing with an enormous handicap.

It's funny how the public opinion on the Gamecube has done a total 180 since its time in the market. It was the laughing stock of the console space for not allowing DVD playback, having virtually no online capabilities, and "kiddie" looking games. Nintendo committed to quality games first and foremost and it resulted in their lowest selling console yet (excluding Virtual Boy).

Nowadays, the DVD playback that rocketed the PS2 to #1 is largely irrelevant, and the online services that were huge on PS2 and Xbox are shut down. The "kiddie" looking games like Wind Waker have aged astonishingly well, while the realistic aesthetic that dominated the PS2/Xbox library definitely looks 20+ years old at this point.

The focus on games was what made the Gamecube great, and it's what stands the test of time above anything else. I'm glad others have come to realize this, even if it took over a decade for it to happen.

NSFW subreddits and posts also still work in RIF when logged out. Maybe it's just an oversight that'll be corrected at Reddit HQ next week.

My app is still working as of July 1st when logged out, haven't done any patching or anything. New content is loading.

@talklittle hope this isn't going to incur API charges for you :(

Let the brain drain of Reddit begin. They've got what's coming to them - a mass exodus of the power users and a slow deterioration of quality OC.
