Even when he has no business being in the story (Twilight Princess), he's still very fun to see. TotK Ganondorf is my favorite version cause the presentation really knocks it out of the park with him. 6 minutes ago, Acacia Sgt said: I fear it will be more like a headless chicken.

I mean, the Right here is actually getting desperate, they know that it's only a matter of time before they fall apart for good (this version of the Right, the Right will obviously never go away in any era).

I also know it would be a net benefit for the fans. Far simpler game preservation, and performance gets to be a lot better than with Ninty's shitty-ass hardware. Heck, the devs too. You know how Kid Icarus: Uprising could have been a truly timeless classic? If it was on PC, with normal shooter controls, so people could play it after the 3DS was discontinued. Alas, Nintendo are too interested in forcing everyone to buy their 400$ plastic paperweights.

No. But if I don't play it b/c I feel like I can't play and have to resort to something lighter in my present state, then I'll criticize myself for that. 49 minutes ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: you're still young You keep saying that, I wish I didn't keep not feeling it.😔 Every second that passes, gone forever. 43 minutes ago, Armagon said: And as much as DeSantis wants to be the next Trump, he won't be.

That thing I think I've seen a few Falcom fans asking for a sequel to (although I think I've seen more comments thinking Falcom's next game announcement not Daybreak 3 will be a Tokyo Xanadu 2). I'm not sure if I want to ask for a new game not on sale right now, after 9-5 and before 12-25, it's an awkward three-ish months for me. The thought of trying to get into premodern Ys did cross my mind though. And on the bright & happy side, I do have the Switch port of Kirby Returns to Dream Land newly obtained unplayed, and the Forgotten Land's postgame area untouched. ...I loathe myself for not being able to play something because of my mood. I feel like such an invalid for being unable to possibly do something ought to bring joy and having to resort to other things purely because of an irrational matter of the mind.😔 It feels like I'm on a medically-restricted diet or need to take medicine. The more passive act of merely watching something? What? I don't really look around YouTube for stuff, and as for television, all I really watch is the news and a few other things (and I hate, hate, HATE all the life insurance commercials that come up!🙈🙉), none of it providing me that sweet, wonderful, senses-overwhelming noise I want. And so I've been staying up late in bed desperate for something to suppress the devouring thoughts, fearful of finally putting the computer down because I know then I'll be without something to try to distract the brain. The handful of video games soundtracks I would try using to ease my agony only serve to remind me I am in it. The mostly unserious thought of watching ani-me! popped into my skull earlier today, but only the heavens know what could possibly be enjoyable to this non-watcher of animation, or entertainment TV in general.

Interdimensional Observer Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 The original still goes hardest. But I do appreciate the second Re-Boot remix not being stuck with that fuzzy GBA soundfont. Shame that for all the clarity and real instrumentation, they held back on the rawness. 12 minutes ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: So either on Sale or Emulation. JRPG, something bright? Hard bargain... Well, it's just between the passing of my bday and Christmas, it's like "Why buy anything new? Why wait until the next big gift-giving day, it isn't that far away". -But then I don't like to ask for things in the first, and backlog. I can name two or three newly-released games that have already fallen into this 🎂-🎄 gap this year. 14 minutes ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: maybe calm down with that a bit? Politics-induced depression isn't a concern right now. About this time next year... 🗳️ 😨 (I literally struggled to sleep during for several nights during the 2020 election, I made posts here on SF in Serious Discussion while in such a tired state of mind). My main problem with the news is that I haven't had any Late Show satire ever since the writer's strike began. Though now that the strike is seemingly over, that might be changing reaaaaaal soon. I need some laughs again.😀 16 minutes ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: Me when work life takes all joy & will out of my life. TotK is kinda helping with that tho You absolutely have my sympathies.🙂 And we all need to be grateful for the things that can bring us relief. ...I watched a video a week ago on the history of lighthouse keepers. The profession had a reputation for madness. Part of which would've likely been owed to having to do everything from household chores to maintaining the lighthouse yourself. And keeping awake all hours of the night to keep the light lit and clear. I know you're a nightowl, but relatable at all? Part of it would also have been owed to extreme loneliness, given most of lightkeepers either lived alone, or with only their wife & kids. And since they had to be back by night and didn't have fast modern transport, even those lucky enough to live close to a town would've spent weeks or months in isolation. Considering how rarely I leave the house (what? I don't drive still, don't have a job, don't have any daily interests that'd take me out of it), perhaps I live on a rocky outcrop battered by waves, despite appearing to reside in suburbia in a densely-populated state. It sure could be the reason I find sanity on SF, that makes me hesitate to get off the sight and actually play video games, is because it's basically my only point of human contact outside of the family I live with, as it has been since I got out of college. I'm so autistic I end up like this, but not so autistic as to avoid having feelings of loneliness. And circa-late 1800s, a bit of lighthouse insanity may have come from one popular beacon design having the light rest on a pool of mercury for easing the light's rotation. A pool of mercury that would've been cleaned out often, with bare hands. 26 minutes ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: How about some anime? Should i suggest some?

And if I answer yes, I'll probably end up not actually watching/reading any of it, because I'll hesitate over "is this really for me?".😆 And I ain't good with grabbing my head and dunking it under to get it wet. 31 minutes ago, Armagon said: The biggest problem for PC gaming will always be the huge barrier of entry.

And the quality mid-tier gaming laptop I chose was like $1300 I think. Even at the entry level minimum for PC gaming, a Switch is half the price.

Armagon Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Ok so Spain trip finalized for real this time. We leave Saturday, arrive in Barcelona technically on Sunday morning. October 8-10th in Barcelona. On the 11th, we take a local flight to Vigo, where we'll spend the next couple days there and likely cross over into Portugal. On the 14th, we fly to Madrid where we'll spend the remainder of the trip until we fly back home on the 16th. Dad didn't tell me about Vigo and he claims the train ride takes longer (does it idk) so hitting up Bilbao, Valencia and Oviedo likely won't happen. Family members will come in to meet us at the specified cities anyways tho so we're still seeing them anyways. I'll check out the beaches too. Not because i like beaches really but because i'll be able to see both the Mediterranean for the first time ever and the Atlantic from the other side. Only thing i'm not looking forward to is the return trip. Because of time-zone fuckery, when we leave Madrid at noon and do that eight hour trip, we arrive home at.......2PM. Eight hours in two hours, my internal clock is going to be fighting for it's life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
