Spread is brokenly good, but I like playing with Laser too. It feels good to land the entire beam on a boss. Especially in the arcade version, laser kills bosses fast.

Megaupload. It was like the Library of Alexandria burning down. Not just pirated stuff, either.

Whoa… [email protected] looks really good in PieFed’s tile views! It’s kind of what I was going for with my CSS. I think PieFed has a ton of potential, and I want to mess around with it more.

@[email protected], if you just saw a spike of like 1GB of data getting federated in, that was me manually retrieving my first few hundred posts.

Edit: Oops, I tagged the wrong instance admin named Jerry!

Here in Ohio, FuncoLand and Electronics Boutique were the national game store chains in town until GameStop bought them both and took over their stores. Funco was known for their lists of trade-in values in magazines in the days before VGPC. Now it’s come full circle and GameStop is turning some stores into the 90s FuncoLand stores they replaced.

Or FuncoLand?

Actually, you can still get the full Steam game for free at https://www.sega60th.com/register

I’ve only actually played the first game, but as I understand it, NiGHTS is a high-ranking Nightmaren just like the monstrous bosses they fight. NiGHTS happens to be powerful enough to be independent. Whenever the other Nightmaren mug a dreaming visitor, if the visitor keeps hold of one of their Ideyas, NiGHTS finds it more fun to help the visitor wreck everything instead.

Edit: corrected NiGHTS to they/them pronouns (and while I’m here, you can still get the Steam version of NiGHTS for free)

would’ve been fun if the local magazines were somewhat more active.

I’m trying! :P

I originally chose Kbin/Mbin over Lemmy because of the added support for Mastodon-like posts, but it’s still suffers from wonky early adopter stuff. I still rather like Mbin’s interface more than Lemmy’s defaults, though Lemmy’s support for third party front ends is very cool. Whichever way you go, I’m happy that Mbin and Lemmy have access to all the same content. Mbin could grow more if some of a magazine’s custom CSS could federate to other instances, or if it supported bots like Lemmy.

Oh dang, I’m gonna have to look into PieFed, though. That looks good! I’d like to see how my community looks, but I think a registered piefed.social user has to do this community lookup for federation to begin.

It’s close, but I give it to Ocarina of Time. Both were genre-advancing technological achievements of 3D and cinematics. Neither of them are the best in their series, with better games before and after these. But Ocarina of Time is more fun in combat and in glitches, so it’s better.

The better debate is what’s better: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past or Super Metroid. Both, of course!

no English localization

That’s a shame. I loved Working Designs’s voice acting in the Sega CD version. They even added voiceovers to lines that weren’t voiced in the Japanese version. I wonder who even owns the rights to that localization nowadays.

Come to Mbin! We have active developers!

Cool! Thanks for the Floating Is Fun shout out! I wish that CSS would federate to other instances, even if it’s just a header image like Lemmy communities get. You Lemmy users can still use interfaces like Photon and Voyager, and it looks great on those.

As for me, I like these ones: [email protected] - I comment my puzzle results in there everyday [email protected] - Good reliable world news that covers important events [email protected] - I’m American and this is better than most of our news outlets [email protected] - Good single-serving comics in my feed [email protected] - Sometimes I throw video game music at them @[email protected] - Not a community, but I end up following MentalEdge to a lot of the communities they frequent

True, it’s not that easy to find the good ones. Try browsing around RetroAchievement’s hubs, click a category you’re interested in, and then sort by “most players”. The popular games there might surprise you.

Losing interest? How about some shorter games that are super high quality all the way through?

• Kirby’s Adventure
• Super Mario Bros. 3
• The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX
• Gunstar Heroes
• Mega Man 4 (and then Rockman 4 Minus Infinity)
• Tetris Rosy Retrospection DX
• Hammerin’ Harry: Smash Smash Hammer Smash
• Klonoa: Door to Phantomile
• Streemerz
• Donkey Kong Country
• Star Fox 64
• Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

So, what kinds of games do you normally play? We can help you more if we know where you’re coming from.

I thought Soft Garden’s boss Jackle was a good fight. He tries to zone you out by throwing tarot cards at you, and it’s satisfying to slip through his cards and hit him.

Hi there! Since I’m here finding sources, I might as well crosspost my phone’s wallpaper. Papika and Cocona are sort of skydiving like this at the end of the show.

Challenge accepted. These vector trees have been ripped off to hell and back for ten years, but I think the original artist is desenart. Vector art theft just runs rampant. They even got rid of the surfer dude.

Yay! I love Shiren 1 on the SNES and DS and I actually just started it again after seeing it get challenged on GameCenter CX. I still need to actually play the other Shiren games.

Is there a community for Shiren the Wanderer on Lemmy or Kbin? I don’t want to have to go back to Reddit for it.

I liked a lot of the parodies and jokes in Conker’s Bad Fur Day, but the game had too many frustrating parts in between them. About half of this game should have been left on the cutting room floor, but Rare wouldn’t cut their bad ideas out of the game unless Nintendo was supervising them.
