A chronically online millennial who absolutely loves to hear about the passions of others. Attempting to detach from more toxic places while not being completely isolated.
Is it possible? We’ll see!
Had a partner want to practice hacking a 3ds before they closed the shop so I can play PS1 games. The first one I put on that mofo is Azure Dreams, my first and probably favorite dungeon crawler roguelike with a city builder. Also Breath of Fire IV is one of my absolute favorite games ever.
2d zelda is my absolute favorite and I do hope we haven’t seen the last of them. I’d even settle for a Seasons/Ages reboot. 😩
If you are on PC and have never check them out, I totally suggest checking out NIS games as they almost always have a fun story mixed with humor as well as some really heart wrenching things you accompany the characters on.
It is really sweet! It’s a simple story about trying to save basically the world!
There are dozens of us dozens!
I just started back up one that I rarely see talked about: Ever Oasis. Does it do everything perfect? No, but it’s a cute little handheld game where I get to help an adorable water spirit save adorable seedlings and owl people. There’s characters to befriend and take on quests too! It offers a lot, but cause it was on the 3ds I don’t think too many people have played it.
Outside of that, Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life is my nostalgia favorite so I am hopeful about the remake.
I want the same toys but less loud and needy. 😭I loved Furby and tamagotchi too, but I wanted them to bring some of the stuff from those digimon pets they had way back in the 90s. Let me make tamagotchis fight!
Technically Furby Connects is a subcategory of Furby, and I was talking about the main line, (and “Connect” is in the name, so that is still not trying to sneak it past consumers) but I could see the argument it is a little pedantic.
But saying THIS model has a camera and is connected to the internet explicitly goes against most of the advertising and most everyone is just wanting to act panicked about a basic toy. 😑
Depite all the black mirror watchers here not reading or looking into it, no furby has connected to the internet yet?
Watching a few of the newest ones has almost had me playing vanilla myself! I love that they even tell you how to use some of the way the game’s left broken without the unofficial patch for a few of the combinations.
Have fun!
I believe this youtube channel mentions mods, but their builds are vanilla I think. Sometimes I like to roleplay deeper when I want the familiar but a little different. Here’s the FudgeMuppet Skyrim Builds playlist, hope you scratch your itch!
Tetris Attack was my jam!
Considering the popularity of Gaming Grandma, I think it’s just the stereotypes. Until recently, even social media was a nerd thing that brought out thoughts of smelly social rejects not respecting social spaces.
The internet is only just now not for social rejects, gaming being labeled for kids and something you outgrow seems to be an individual choice brought on ( often as I see) to peer pressure to stop in the first place.
I’d say there’s not a cut off, people just have some really shit opinions about things they should just stfu about. I grew up in the South and I abandoned trying to follow the minds of judgemental folks a long time ago. Half the time they’re just jealous you live your life and they haven’t managed to keep their personality after getting married and having kids. 😂
Trying new genres and emulating old games is what I do. I picked up Fallen London lately during my down time and I’m emulating some PS1 RPGs I never beat growing up.
I think the reality is, we won’t ever be able to capture the nostalgia. Sometimes I just don’t have the brain for a story, or the energy for skill checks, and sometimes I just can’t game at all. I try to not pressure myself too much during the dips in interest, it seems to make me more depressed.
Allowing myself to float from game to game as my mood wills it has been important to not losing my ability to play to depression and exhaustion.
I definitely don’t play the same games the same way I did before, but there is a lot of me that’s changed over the years!
I am in love with the character portraits and it looks amazing. I am absolutely thrilled to see this coming and I just hope it runs well enough or the Switch Pro comes out so these can run without chugging, my original doesn’t like Arceus sometimes…
I was so stoked with Penny’s Big Breakaway’s video! I am happy those highly stylized platformers are still being made, just I know it’s going to be on some underrated list of games in 5 years.
Because, what no one wants to admit, it was used to specifically call a text heavy game with no skill required. It’s very clear it was used derogatorily when a game the “hardcore’s” likes comes from Japan and you are playing a role and it is lore heavy, “oh but it’s not really a rpg” uh huh…
It was very much where people told anyone to go if they had any complaints about a skill check in a game, definitely used derogatorily for decades!
But the developers have told you how they feel and literally the style isn’t about Japan at all anymore? I don’t understand why you would be do determined to keep it?
I definitely think they are loads of fun but they both have amazing soundtracks, too! Breath of Fire IV still brings me to tears!
