I’ve gone back in time. Finally playing Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga. I skipped this franchise when I was younger because I didn’t think it looked as cool as Legend of the Seven Stars. The battle mechanics are actually better than that game. Hopefully I’ll get to all of the games.
Still trying to get through Age of Calamity myself. Will hopefully be the next game I finish. I’m one of those people that likes leveling up equipment and trying to 100% stuff, but sometimes burn myself out in the process.
Visually it looks great, but leans into the horror too much for me. When I was younger I was into a lot of the Resident Evil games, but I’ve since moved away from playing that kind of stuff.
I think I spent around 12hrs on it? I did most of the side quests, but I missed one in the first town, since I didn’t know stuff is missable if you go too far ahead.
Overall it was enjoyable, but I quickly went from thinking “There’s only 6 towns? This game is going to end too quickly for me” to “This is feeling long” when I got halfway through.
I would have liked more variation in cards for battles as well, but as a small indie game it makes sense that they limited themselves.
I am curious about the next game and may get it. It looks like it’s switching game generes a bit with it being top down, but it looks more polished.
Just finished playing Lost in Random. While the general art-style and premise were great, the ending felt a bit lack luster, like the studio ran out of money. There were also some interesting mechanics that just seen abandoned mid game.
Before clicking I already assumed microsoft and sony were going to be named as options, who are arguably worse companies. While Nintendo is doing shitty stuff, I don’t see the equal uproar against the other companies. My only assumption is Nintendo’s strict stance against emulation is clashing with lemmy’s pirate culture.
Which is why I think people on lemmy need to get used to the fact that their data isn’t theirs to own on something that is so public facing like this. Instead we should reteach people to be conscious of what information they post. Once upon a time even A/S/L was too much info.
Which is fine, if that’s what the general consensus ends up being (I generally disagree with deleting knowledge, but that’s my own opinion and not up to me really), but then this should/will never be a place for knowledge and only just casual conversation. A lot of people on lemmy want it to replace reddit in terms of search results, but it may never be that.
Disassociating with old comments and posts would be a good way to go, but I’m not really sure that’s an option for the fediverse? In theory couldn’t someone in the future set up an instance whose sole purpose is just back up and collect data? How would someone even go about trying to erase themselves from a situation like that?
There is one worry I have about Lemmy being the knowledge of anything and it’s what happened on reddit. Many people went through and nuked their comments, essentially making many posts useless. There are already people here on lemmy that delete their profiles, comments and start over every few months. Not really sure what that means for all the federation, but I assume different instances may have different versions of deleted information in the long run?
I lived in Cincinnati over a decade ago and back then they were accepting of different people. Columbus is 3x the size so you should generally be fine. Just be aware of who you are spending your time with, and you are likely safer in numbers.
I have this mental issue with the number pad as well. My solve is having a separate number pad to the left side, which frees up the right side for the mouse.
