I know it’s better in theory than Reddit but maaaaan it’s so lonely here sometimes! So many communities are just a ghost town. It’s so bad that I (normally a lurker) am motivated enough to get out of my cave and post. We need more active text only post subs cause I’m just soo sick of news links :/ we also need more active friend making subs fr.
If anybody is out there, hi 👋. We probably have very different life experiences, but that doesn’t mean we can’t chat lol
I am okay, I also had a mild cold recently, must be something going around.
I’m currently trying to figure out the best way to fit a giant copy of the painting Lament for Icarus in my house, and listening to Olivia Dean. I also just finished playing a story video games called Dispatch recently, you heard of it?
Fitting a room for a lament for what now in your house? That’s a unique problem to have lol. Although I guess I can relate a little cause my parents were lowkey hoarders and every now and then we’d play furniture Tetris
Actually yeah I did hear about it. A friend was playing it and I also watched a review. It’s the one with the superheroes right?
I don’t play many story-based games. I’m like John Carmack who apparently said "Story in a game is like story in a porn movie: It’s expected to be there, but it’s not important.”. But that’s just me heheh
It’s a cool painting that I am a very big fan of, because in also a big fan of greek mythology
That’s the one! I found it very fun and interesting myself. I love an engaging story with some life affirming morals.
What kind of games do you like to play?
What I like the most: single player 2d games with unique combat gameplay and an exploration, action rpg focus, and secret content.
But really tbh I play mostly the same old games I played as a kid. It’s like my comfort zone is fossilized lol. Lots of stuff on gba, ds, psx emulators because back then my computer was a potato. Occasionally some 3d games.
I don’t play C&C generals zero hour but I watch the competitive scene.
Btw: if you like greek mythology have you played Hades?
You absolutely must be a big Zelda fan then, no? I love that series. My next game will be Twilight Princess I think. I have the master sword as well! Just need to hang it up somewhere.
Ever heard of RetroArch? Kind of a 1 stop shop for all emulation, other than the newer gens unfortunately
I also love Silksong, haven’t brought myself to finish it yet though. I’ve played Hades 1, not 2 yet though. It’s on my very long list, along with Witcher 3, Control, Batman series, various Zelda games. One day I might even finish them 😅
Actually I only played minish cap fully. I tried link to the past on GBA emulator and a link between worlds on 3ds emulator but found both had some quality of life problems. I also tried ocarina of time on n64 emulator but I didn’t like it that much. Heresy I know :P. But that was a long time ago and I only played a little. Maybe I didn’t give it a fair shot. I never played any other zelda, mostly because I like 2d zeldas and the new ones are harder to emulate without problems. Had this weird bug with a link between worlds where link would go to the right. It’s like stick drift on keyboard somehow.
I should definitely play breath of the wild someday because my brother says it’s amazing. He played it on emulator too, managed to get it running. But first I gotta play ocarina. He also played Hades and told me to play that. I don’t like roguelikes though so I’m hesitant.
Man my list of “should play” is endless lol. Like I said, fossilized comfort zone. There’s probably so many things you’d be like “Wait you’ve NEVER played x?” It’s even worse for movies or shows. I’m that guy who never watched anything.
No I never heard of RetroArch. I get my roms from shady sites so good to know.
Hey what else do you like to do in your free time :D?
