Based on the fair market value of ResetERA, I estimate D1P's valuation at $15.29

I think you're being generous with that estimate.

Have you ever bought a repro cart of a game?

I think repro carts can be a way to play a game that's insanely expensive on original hardware without having to decide which kidney to sell.

Weapon/armor durability

The only series I can think of that did weapon/armor durability well is Dark Souls, and even then, only the first game.

What game mechanics do you consider outdated?

Took me less time and effort to beat X2 than X1, especially the X-Hunter Stages. I died several times on the first stage with the moving walls that give you an instant death, but then I didn't die once on the other stages. Either I'm getting really good at Mega Man games, or X2 is easier than X1.

I've also never played Devil May Cry.

What popular game franchises have you never played?

Resident Evil for me.

I beat Mega Man X2 this morning.

I don't understand why Sega or Sonic Team don't make a Chao Garden app. It would print money.

I beat Donkey Kong Country 2 102% yesterday. Here's the picture to prove it.

I DARE you to watch the whole movie.

This is not true. 

Yes, it is. The GameCube would have sold more if it used regular discs.

They learned with the Gamecube that they can't directly compete with the big companies in an arms race, so they just decided to do their own their thing, and other than the WiiU they've pretty much nailed everything they've done since. And the WiiU was just a branding thing, like most people didn't even know it was a different system until the platform was already dead.

But the GameCube failed because of their decision to use mini-discs, not because it was or wasn't powerful.

How is Nintendo successful when they're consistently behind the times, from not using CDs to having bad online?

What games have you beaten so far this year?

Banjo-Kazooie

Mega Man 3

I watched the Jimquisition episode about Activision-Blizzard. Just burn the gaming industry to the ground, like people used to burn houses to get rid of the plague. I really don't give a shit anymore.

And this isn't even about "cancel culture" or "being woke". This is about basic goddamn human decency.

Do you ever feel like the gaming industry is broken, and there's no way to fix it?

It's supposed to get hot next week, and ERCOT says they expect a record usage of electricity.
How likely is it that we have power outages?

There's a part in the Doc Robot Needle Man stage of Mega Man 3 where you need to use Rush Jet to cross over a huge gap, and there are weapon refill items along the way.

The only problem is, if you die, the energy refill items don't respawn, so if you're out of ammo for Rush Jet, you're fucked.

Oh look, a game company doing something shitty. Must be another day ending in y.

How many forums have you been banned from, either temporarily or permanently?

I'd also like to add the Doc Robot stages in Mega Man 3.

Even the best games ever made have THAT part, whether it's a level, a boss, puzzle, whatever, that are so annoying and frustrating that it brings the rest of the game down.

For me, it's the Anor Londo Silver Knights in Dark Souls 1. If you try to block the arrows, you'll get knocked back, usually falling off the ledge and to your death. You just have to get lucky and make the Knight on the right fall off the ledge.
