      In the past couple of weeks I've recently watched some console retrospective videos while doing some chores (Liam Triforce's videos on the PS2 and Dreamcast).

      It got me curious if anyone would be interested in discussion/retrospective threads on the different console generations/consoles?

      I was thinking about using the Wikipedia page for the history of video game consoles to guide this, and potentially adding in some threads for different stages of PC gaming (i.e. decade or 5 year periods).

      If there is interest I was thinking of having this be a weekly post. I'd love feedback on which consoles to cover/how granular this would be.
      I.e. would it be better to discuss all of a generation's consoles in one thread or separate threads.

      Some sample questions I thought of for different consoles:

      • What was your favorite memory of this console?
      • Favorite/least favorite game on the console?
      • "Hidden" games you've played that you think could use more attention?
      • Have you gone back to play games on this console or do you still play this games on this console regularly?
      • Do you have the console physically or do you emulate the console?
      • Are there any region specific games that you wished had been brought to your region, and if there are have any of them been fan translated?
      • Are there any interesting tidbits you'd like to share about the console? This could be from promotional campaigns, development stories, fun facts.

      I don't play as many new games as I used to, but I've also realized there are tons of games on the consoles I did play that I have never heard of or got the experience to play and would love to go back and try them. I've also seen some channels where people try to play every game on a console which sounds like an interesting experience, especially the guy who is trying to play all 4,000+ PS2 games that were released!

    10. Do you play knock-offs of celebrated indie games?

      I've been getting more suggested game trailers on youtube and have been surprised by the number of "knock off" games. I've seen three different versions of Dregde (a game I absolutely adore) and a number that seem to be mimicking Hollow Knight. I don't even mean just like fishing or rogue like games, I mean like full on knock-offs.

      I get the niche they fill, but I'm kind of curious about the ethics of it. Like, I would love to play more dredge but it doesn't appear more is on the way. But I also don't really want to support a company that is just completely ripping off everything from mechanics to art. Like this game seemingly took the actual artwork from Dredge. As a developer I think I'd be pretty pissed.

      Is this really common and I'm just learning about it now? Is it the video game equivalent of Atlantic Rim? Where do people stand on playing these kind of knock off games?

    12. What's your dream job?

      Do you have a dream job/one you've always thought about doing?
      Do you work your own dream job? If you do, what is something you'd like to change about it to make it even better?

      This question popped in my head this morning while not wanting to dive in to a weird work thing and after a quick look, it's been ~4 years since the last time a similar question was asked by @kfwyre (who posts awesome discussion questions!), and I thought that it's been long enough to ask again for new Tilders to chime in or for whoever answered last time to come back and see if their answers are the same.
