I’m surprised no tracks from mainline Final Fantasy have been posted! So many too choose from, but my personal favourite is Battle at the Big Bridge from FFV.
Also, it’s usually overlooked, especially in comparison to other games from the same era, but I do love the soundtrack from Super Mario World.
I got baited by this. I kept the one I got predicting it may be needed for the seals, just to be told “oh no, this time it’s a different kind of items, go farm the mines again for the void stuff”. So I went and donated the fish, thinking it wouldn’t be needed…
It’s a shame I didn’t get to see the final dungeon before dropping the game, though. I can only slave for the town so many times before I say enough is enough!
I got so excited, thinking it was a full remake! But I guess a port is also a welcome addition. Though it would have to have some QoL and othe goodies included in other to make it worthwhile vs just playing it any other way you can.
Terranigma is perhaps my fav game out of all the snes library, and perhaps even across all consoles. So anything regarding it is welcome, but considering how some recent ports have been nothing more than glorified emulators-in-a-box, I think it’s best to keep the hype in check.
Not dropped entirely, but Ceave Gaming. I haven’t been able to finish a single one of his latest videos, and while I once liked the convoluted way he approaches topics, lately I just want him to get to the point. His latest challenge vids are also fun, but I don’t know, I just can’t stomach them for long anymore. Not sure if it’s just me having less free time or patient, or something more intrinsically in his vids, but I guess at this rate I’ll be unsubscribing soonish. :(
I think it was the atmosphere more than anything. I don’t think I was able to watch more than a few eps. It was a long time ago tbf!
This may be extremely silly, but Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni traumatized me in a way no other anime has. I couldn’t even finish it! And the scary thing was no other than the eponymous sound of the cicadas. To this date, no summer passes by in which I’m not reminded of the dread I felt upon hearing the cicadas chirping…
Don’t let them fool you! I saw all first season (20-something eps), anm while it’s true he ends up growing a bit, it’s not much, or at least so it was to the point I saw. Not sure if it’s even worth it to have to endure 20 episodes just to get to “the good part”.
So far, my while I’ve like a lot Yomi no Tsugai and Kill Blue (among other less notable mentions), my fav anime this season has been Ramparts of Ice. I wasn’t expecting much at first, but without a doubt it has become the weekly release I look forward the most.
I was also looking forward to Witch Hat Atelier, but I think it’s not for me. I think this is very much controversial (for some reason I honestly can’t relate), but I hated that certain character not only got scot-free for what was basically attempted murder, but apparently such character also becomes important and never really faces any consequences for her actions. No, thank you; I like my fantasy to help me escape from the world’s injustices, not to glorify them.
Yeah, me too here. No website is important enough to need to endure ads for.
I’m a bit lost with all the recent developments, but in the end, does this mean that installing from, say, F-droid or similars won’t be possible at all?
Sorry for the stupid question; it’s getting harder to keep up with all the bad developments in the world.
I don’t think the devs are interested in that… considering that the game’s been out for a while, and even has DLC, I think that’s the gameplay the dev wants. Which, again, it’s not inherently bad, just not aligned with what makes a game fun for me.
Started playing Monster Train 2. Loved the first one, but oh boy, 2 is such a let down for me. Feels like it’s poorly balanced, on both player and enemy sides, and it’s just an exercise in finding the most BS broken stuff rather than properly strategy.
It’s not a bad game, mind you; it’s just that perhaps my expectations and the game were not aligned.
No, libra (the unit of mass), and libre (being free) have unrelated origins, afaik. Libra comes from scales, as in the Libra constellation, wheveas libre comes from liber, related to freedom (and not books (or “libro” in Spanish); that’s a different word), which apparently comes from even older languages, meaning “town” or “people”.
So this season’s finished already? With only 10 ep?? Rather short if so…
I know! But Lemmy/R***it seem to have some irrational hate for it.
Friends. Sure, many of the jokes haven’t aged well, and the laugh track can be a bit too much for modern audiences, but it became an icon of its generation for a reason. I get that some people may not vibe with it, but it’s nowhere near as bad as the mainstream Lemmy makes it out to be.
On that note, I really miss that kind of “wholesome” sitcom. It feels like newer sitcoms are all about cringe or the ridiculous lives of shitty people. While Friends’ cast may not have been paragons of humanity, they were, or at least so in the first half of the show, good, regular people. I miss that in TV.
After the disappointing ending of the manga, I just lost all interest in the anime too. Really hoping they take some creative liberties and rewrite that ending, but I know I’m just coping.
It’s called Theater of the Mind, I think. It used to be the way we played ADnD, but I guess that the newer editions pushed the minis-and-grid with their more tactical playstyles.
This has been so far a bit slow season. I’m watching The Apothecary Diares season 3, and well… I don’t know, maybe I was expecting more, considering we’re into season 3. I’m also not fan of the new setting, not to mention the profound lack of interaction (or progress!) between the two leads. Feels it’s been 3 episodes of a lot of nothing, with a very small side dish of the season overarching mysterious plot.
I’m also watching Ramparts of Ice season 2. Season 1 surprised me with how good it was. But season 2 is becoming a bit too heavy too fast, and I think I’ll wait until all eps are done before resuming watching it.
Finally, started watching Romelia War Chronicles (I apologise if that’s not the English name); it’s fine so far. Nothing too great, but also good enough to convince me to watch a bit more. That said, the main lead def needs a bit more time developing her character; so far it’s a bit hard to get her.
So, overall, a bland start to this season. Thank goodness for backlogs!
