Chrono Trigger is still being sold actually, so probably not the best example. That said, I still have my original PS1 Chrono Trigger disc that I haven’t played on original hardware (or even my still-hooked-up PS3) for a while because I legally dumped it and play it with a much higher emulated disc read speed. As much as Nintendo has made explicit statements to the contrary, it is legal in most countries to back up your own games and do with them what you will.

You and I would have been enemies in the 16-bit era, but I adore the Sega Genesis. (However, I’m also a sleepy bisexual, so I’m gonna say we’re probably nowhere close to enemies.)
It was an arcade monster and got a ton of amazing games from the arcades and purpose-built for the machine — many the SNES also got, but some exclusives that really took advantage of what the Genesis could do well. I’d argue that the gritty FM sound chip was better for certain types of game music as well, though that’s not to say that the SNES wasn’t largely superior on that front.
At the end of the day… yeah 16 bit stuff looks amazing
Tetris Worlds on PC was one of my favorites — A surreal, story-based Tetris with interesting twists on the gameplay, and the first Guideline Tetris game, setting in stone what “official” Tetris would look and act like even now. (Some love that, some hate it, I’m nowhere near a high enough level player to care either way and just like a cool looking Tetris game.)
This, 100%. While GB Tetris and NES Tetris were some of the first games I remember playing, Tetris DS was one of the first Tetris games I loved. And you’ve absolutely got a point that the original DS does best; the mushy D-pad on the DS Lite just plays it so much worse in my experience. (I feel good about it on my New 2DS XL though other than the either very soft image or very small image I get from it though)
Please, I don’t keep a curling rock in my purse.
About two bowling balls are much more effective.
I was a Twitter user and had been for a while; Bluesky replaced it for me and I rather like it. It feels very old-school Twitter, but is lacking some niceties such as videos and DMs.
As someone who is naturally very traditionally feminine (read: basic bitch) and likes all of these things… this is just misandry, isn’t it? It’s misandry.
Every company you can buy a smartphone from is “another big company that will do anything to make money, no matter how much they’re already making.” This is an issue with capitalism, not just inherently Apple. Don’t fault people for using the tool that works best for what they’re doing.
I know where this is going, I’ve played Rhythm Heaven
The final boss of polyamory
what exactly would he come into my room for? boykissing advice? surely that can wait until later in the morning so I can get some sleep, boykisser should sleep too, it’s not healthy to not get proper sleep
Back when I was uncracked I almost exclusively played male characters so I wouldn’t seem gay, but related more to female characters.
Of course, I’m extremely bisexual and was closeted about that too, but it didn’t affect me too much to see the ass of either generally playable gender as long as they were hot. 😅
Thanks for the recommendation! Diablo II was one of my favorite games when I was a kid so this is way, way up my alley.
Lately I’ve been playing Spark the Electric Jester 3, Freedom Planet 2, Sonic Superstars, Vampire Survivors, and Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade. I think all of these are on sale!
I’m a platformer gal, especially fast-paced Sonicy ones, so Spark the Electric Jester, Freedom Planet, and of course Sonic Superstars are right up my alley. Sonic Superstars really isn’t a $60 game but I’d say it’s $36 sale price is all right. Freedom Planet 2 absolutely nails fluid 2D level design with insane levels of polish. And Spark 3 may be one of the finest 3D platformers ever made, with a tight control system and a incredibly high skill ceiling.
Vampire Survivors, however, is not a platformer. It’s a bite-sized RPG where your control of your character is exclusively directional and what upgrades to their skillset they get. It is incredibly addictive and while each session can last a maximum(ish) of 30 minutes I find myself wanting just one more try all the time. If you’re not sure about it, the mobile version is free with ads, but it’s really best played on PC.
And I don’t think I have words for FFVIIR. Say what you want about Square Enix (such as “fuck those guys”), they make a solid JRPG, and this enhanced remake of the first… like, quarter of the first disc of Final Fantasy VII? is excellently done and takes enough liberties with the storyline to feel fresh without feeling so different that it’s unrecognizable. (and the fact that they took liberties is actually a story point in and of itself but I’ll just leave it at that)
I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to pour the cereal into the milk bag
IsabelleChiming is easily one of my favorites by far too! She’s fantastic.
I’ve clearly been doing the purse thing all wrong
