One must merely find groups of games which share traits as determined by what the player does relative to what happens onscreen. For the RPG genre this can be reduced to four specific traits:<br/><br/>1. An explorable diegesis - the &#34;game world&#34; must be navigable which excludes simpler strategy games like video game versions of traditional games (chess, shougi), visual novels (usually, these merely involve reading reading), and strategy games (Nintendo Wars, Dessert Commander)<br/>2. A focus on narrative elements - the game has clear characters, setting, themes, and, often, a plot<br/>3. Statistics based actions - specifically, actions (especially actions related to combat) rely more on in-game statistics and numbers than on the player&#39;s kinetic skill <br/>4. Passive combat - there is not a 1-to-1 relationship between a player&#39;s inputs and his avatar&#39;s actions, i.e. a player can choose a menu item to order a character to attack (Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy) or may press a series of buttons which result in the avatar(s) performing a complex attack or series of attacks (Tales, Valkyrie Profile)<br/><br/>Quality 1 excludes games like chess or shougi as well as the Nintendo Wars series.<br/>Quality 3 excludes all action games such as shmups and platformers as well as adventure games and &#34;action RPGs&#34;.<br/>Quality 4 also excludes &#34;action RPGs&#34; such as the Mana games and Zelda wherein a single button press equals a sword swing or arrow shot.<br/><br/>These traits go back to the earliest examples of the genre (dnd, pedit5, Dungeon) and carry on to Wizardry, Ultima, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, SaGa, MegaTen, Pokemon, Tales, and all dungeon crawler games. One ore more of them is lacking in Zelda, Mana, Musashi, and MegaMan BattleNetwork, and Mario &#34;RPGs&#34;. 2026-08-14T02:27:36+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs8864gy9rtysmrvt4tnwgny542usphgrt0nkgt3elexkqamxtnzcqzyz0rstcnzvfkvury7ncxak0fttuwzt0fptetqn6kl3cct7c0ncugsdrrpgt In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8nd6trpvajulcc4fpqya80sknmc68ju2dl0gtcmy3wsgu6ufv4fsf64a9f'>nevent1q…4a9f</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>looks fun.

It was extremely insightful, but I&#39;m having trouble finding it. I recall the owner(s?) of the site published books containing the essays. The effort was an excellent resource for game studies, and I lament both its lack of use in the field and my current inability to find it.

Turning the world 90° clockwise really makes a difference in how the game is played. Wall jumping is necessary from the start and many longer horizontal rooms (and this game dramatically highlights their presence) become traps, often lethal ones. The thing that killed me most often was magma. There must be something about the way magma is programmed where it rises to such-and-such a y- value, because many of the normally horizontal rooms containing magma had it nearly to the top in this sideways version of Zebes. As a respite, the grapple beam is rendered useless making for an early and easy visit to Phantoon, and all of the bosses excepting one were ridiculously easy with the new layout. Kraid was about the same level of difficulty without adequate platforms to mount for easy firing. Like the magma, Ridley must be programmed to hover around a particular Y-axis; as a result, he merely floated around eye-level for Samus and was a sitting duck.<br/><br/>Overall, not a terribly exciting hack, but it&#39;s quite a unique and well-executed idea. 5/10. Not recommended for anyone but unusually masochistic fans of platformers.<br/><br/>#GameComplete<br/>#2026SoFar<br/>#ROMHack<br/>#SuperMetroid<br/><br/>And, yes, I always free the babies.<br/><br/>@coolboymew @noyoushutthefuckupdad @SuperSnekFriend@poa.st @King_Noticer@poa.st @Blouie@poa.st<br/> <img src="https://media.shitposter.world/shitposter.club/23/a0/48/23a048d39c9269b8bf1d14a60586af0bca412d4ca73ecc6b5784ff4bd65f7147.jpg?name=uHQGMOFs-Ljj4A.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://media.shitposter.world/shitposter.club/52/eb/49/52eb490ef64187b53a654299fec7d6140625c396d155ac480800899491133647.jpg?name=Xzx7SgTjIdu8nA.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://media.shitposter.world/shitposter.club/0a/94/00/0a940075d57cce7265e9e50652a3d47c29ba7cced271616e360df47bbc5f41b1.jpg?name=8mlXg0Fcd4Eo9A.jpg"> <br/> 2026-01-08T04:20:52+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsttfsyvaz948enffrm3uyyxknc554c02d592z0auddqw8ay3x9cdqzyz0rstcnzvfkvury7ncxak0fttuwzt0fptetqn6kl3cct7c0ncugsud7ylj In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8azrrlg8wgyfwnzhd733ey5pgftyetj39jqvhcg73852vztjd7sqns62zg'>nevent1q…62zg</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>&gt; 8-bit console emulation<br/><br/>How feasible is this?

As mentioned elsewhere, it&#39;s as if Super Metroid and Yume Nikki merged into one game. Both games use environment and visuals to establish mood and build a cohesive world of functional symbols inviting the player to draw conclusions about the plot and characters. This game capitalizes on that, especially with how it&#39;s done in Super Metroid. This was very dark in its aesthetics akin to something like Hollow Knight and very creepy in its visuals. Replay value is quite high due to gameplay alone, but the game hints at two possible secrets which come from not killing a particular enemy early on in the game and from completing the game without a particular item. That&#39;s a challenge for another day, but I intend to research things to learn more.<br/><br/>10/10 Highly recommended. This is a video game that takes advantage of the medium in ways all devs should attempt to emulate. Excellent way to finish the year.<br/><br/>#GameComplete<br/>#2025SoFar<br/>#SuperMetroid<br/>#Metroid<br/>#SuperJunkoidDX<br/><br/>@daphailwhale<br/> <img src="https://media.shitposter.world/shitposter.club/38/aa/87/38aa87fd5480107729edb8f00615ddb65772fa2602eec9d6841f5e6bb4488191.png?name=vciHE2O8JwhYMg.png"> <br/> <img src="https://media.shitposter.world/shitposter.club/16/c7/29/16c7294fc7f3902148c3191fe8abfaa5226f22171584479aabdf4e7921ac8742.png?name=tiKuewfXobDjsg.png"> <br/> <img src="https://media.shitposter.world/shitposter.club/1d/16/28/1d1628ba58131d6e1e5b6e2df8e260e2ec162cb1fa30220a3dcf0867d63db331.png?name=sghLBBc9UC8cVw.png"> <br/> <img src="https://media.shitposter.world/shitposter.club/4d/70/24/4d7024c43554027ed941cb7a7b9abacbd9af84d42c10b23f5a512524788286a4.png?name=IqPb76oQHNbLqg.png"> <br/> 2025-12-23T23:21:17+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs2hd360q5jaqeajyauc0zq8lkqdhfrkch03gusggmp9llnmazqs5qzyz0rstcnzvfkvury7ncxak0fttuwzt0fptetqn6kl3cct7c0ncugsw3zz3d In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsd5746szqpwg46q2wkpy5r7e25vcetsrumnulcettk54urz7e0e3gce0247'>nevent1q…0247</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Link? 2025-12-19T03:29:38+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsqz46cca8qumfemfgsnv9ua3kf4jx239t22u7spvry4w2zexru88szyz0rstcnzvfkvury7ncxak0fttuwzt0fptetqn6kl3cct7c0ncugs5ly6tq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrn87tfn94nc53pqnuk2u8rjq849sk7wjsczrv2jvshplr9xm38dquvpf7n'>nevent1q…pf7n</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>&gt; 20 or more new Commodore 64 games are released a year.<br/><br/>Are they worth playing, though? 2025-12-19T03:25:52+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs9vyn8pulukh3wymc6dly28msfda7gedpyehqx928vtj40m2elzhgzyz0rstcnzvfkvury7ncxak0fttuwzt0fptetqn6kl3cct7c0ncugsj8nfxr In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsw86mtszrhap97rclthcygxc0rj3wpjmsknrkvweqqd8ax98z4t3qr2z5et'>nevent1q…z5et</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;m grateful to God that I never had motion sickness from playing video games.

This came after &#34;practicing&#34; on emulators on a wide screen TV (terrible for such a game) and SNES9x on PSP. Fed up with the faults of the emulators (4:3 resolution is best for Gradius III), I decided to fire up my old cartridge. I was quite shocked by the results.<br/><br/>Two or three bottlenecks always got me: the fire dragon boss (which can really screw over the player), the speed up stage (and the transitions before and after), and the penultimate stage, especially when the walls fly at you in sequential chunks. My nerves began acting up with excitement around that last one during the run. 2025-11-18T21:21:49+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsrnndnjrdckqx8x7dc4fhdzk0rljr6k8p6jkvt8evqf25ql0dnrdgzyz0rstcnzvfkvury7ncxak0fttuwzt0fptetqn6kl3cct7c0ncugsxls240 Did something today which I never thought I&#39;d be able to do: I finished Gradius III for SNES on Normal mode without dying. It kicked me into Hard mode afterwards, and I managed to survive till just after stage 4 (the Moai stage) for a total of over 700,000 points. Not sure what the leaderboards look like for this game, but I&#39;m very pleased with this.<br/><br/>@coolboymew @noyoushutthefuckupdad @SuperSnekFriend@poa.st @Tsuki <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1gd4d7a7t0akazhvf9yyjpsf87hj9dhlqaef0aldl28d5f7ql3vpsuv393e" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Pawlicker 🐾😹</span> (<span class="italic">npub1gd4…393e</span>)</a></span> @Blouie@poa.st<br/> <img src="https://media.shitposter.world/shitposter.club/df/9d/1a/df9d1aa752f66bea986aba38ce2025ae08214f0c07eda7bf445dd361b3743b0f.jpg?name=no4I_KzVT-nm_A.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://media.shitposter.world/shitposter.club/93/d8/3a/93d83a33cd4520e1b0a1f1ce1dd9c535325975daf1547e3ac5bd8a52d58f345a.jpg?name=gItvPpBXgbP0Ow.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://media.shitposter.world/shitposter.club/97/7a/c5/977ac52172d62f104eeab00e9743a730e68493cf23f427f0328ca35b3b965cb9.jpg?name=u-tDP6mKGe8aKw.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://media.shitposter.world/shitposter.club/21/01/35/210135d5773807bffcf4295da56db81848a81f9464edc28df8eaeaecfa7b412a.jpg?name=sLKykkt30KHSRQ.jpg"> <br/> 2025-11-18T20:59:03+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0ejwzr9j4y0f8d4y3pvzkxxcvhgpnrfzpn0kwlchcjkz4jn44uvszyz0rstcnzvfkvury7ncxak0fttuwzt0fptetqn6kl3cct7c0ncugss02shv In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsddq3jnc00nezrt6g2hq42yfc669zrwcn5mzmv7pdt3f4ykzdws9srfpdsd'>nevent1q…pdsd</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>You should see the comments:<br/> <img src="https://media.shitposter.world/shitposter.club/d9/4c/5e/d94c5ef79479c927c16b90fff5ddc1193486eeaa1dd2636fd235dac233e381b7.png?name=ZKTURD4vYMbYzQ.png"> <br/> <img src="https://media.shitposter.world/shitposter.club/9f/7b/7c/9f7b7c6299dd9abb74b606513269592747839edd868cd44b06c430e7e3d91734.png?name=o26Ja1qlYxlpKw.png"> <br/> <img src="https://media.shitposter.world/shitposter.club/af/e1/e8/afe1e81fc68abd802e6374bd6c30ff8e2157b5e9ebd3d1ffdf096b56779f88f7.png?name=JJ2JkNgtv5sXVQ.png"> <br/> 2025-11-03T01:37:12+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsdtfszrkp0g7wnxvd4s5v74cn3haxkv923za7qqjkkyzx76h7xvxszyz0rstcnzvfkvury7ncxak0fttuwzt0fptetqn6kl3cct7c0ncugs6v4tym Finally got a copy of Golden Sun: Dark Dawn.

I have Fates and Echoes, but Echoes has faggotry and Fates never held my interest.<br/><br/>As for the TRPG gameplay, it varies with each entry. Earlier titles rely more on strategy and tactics, and Thracia 776 is especially brutal in this regard. Gaiden and Sacred Stones allow for grinding and are fundamentally different than all other games in the series before Awakening. If you need a game with which to start, do the seventh game, the one for the GBA (the first release outside Japan). I&#39;ve also heard that Tear Ring Saga is a good primer as well.<br/><br/>@noyoushutthefuckupdad I have a strong distaste for FFT/Ogre Battle style TRPGs. They&#39;re basically RPGs on a grid while Fire Emblem relies more on strategy and grew naturally out of Intelligent Systems Wars series. The stats and calculations are much simpler in FE than in games like FFT, Ogre, Battle, Disgaea, etc. where the direction a character is facing makes a difference in how much damage they do or receive and battles play out at a snails pace. FE&#39;s pedigree can be traced back to Shougi while other TRPGs are something else entirely. 2025-08-04T06:55:26+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs9h0pkeakk0vy46gp6t02fknlwghfylejpjrdnpyyayscpvmrex7czyz0rstcnzvfkvury7ncxak0fttuwzt0fptetqn6kl3cct7c0ncugsk46y52 Finished Fire Emblem: Sword of :seal: s!!<br/><br/>I immediately started playing it after finishing what&#39;s done of the Elibean Nights hack. The hack made much of the dialogue in SoS make more sense and gave a visual memory to recall for key character backgrounds.<br/><br/>The game itself gave me some frustration in certain chapters with some characters dying, but it was, overall, surprisingly easy. Perhaps it&#39;s that I&#39;m older or perhaps it&#39;s that the game was, indeed, designed to be easier for newcomers like its prequel successor. Speaking of which, the character and plot depth is a bit shallower here than it is in Rekka no Ken. Iirc, Fuuin no Tsurigi started life as a remake of Ankoku Ryuu to Hikari no Tsurugi, and it shows. The pattern of recruitable characters and some regions and environments show a slight resemblance to their Akkaneian analogues. The devs took advantage of the new Elibe continent. This was, essentially, a playground for them to make a more compelling scenario in Rekka no Ken. Also, I ship Lilina and Roy whenever I play through this one. It makes the most sense, canonically.<br/><br/>Overall, 6/10. A bit on the shallow/bland side for a Fire Emblem game--like the Marth games but, thanks to its prequel successor, a bit more fleshed out.<br/><br/>#GameComplete<br/>#2025SoFar<br/>#FireEmblem<br/>#GBA<br/><br/>Cc: @noyoushutthefuckupdad @coolboymew <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1re57p4wzuc68g20x7vlgcjkv0py5q53lkasajnk8tcxtpd2mrxvsu2jd33" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Blouie</span> (<span class="italic">npub1re5…jd33</span>)</a></span> <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1nn6n3kkdhg3rsycw4ztjmv8jg7gdazlq3q6up2hf6c2h23jun2gqq55yh9" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>SuperSnekFriend</span> (<span class="italic">npub1nn6…5yh9</span>)</a></span> <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1gd4d7a7t0akazhvf9yyjpsf87hj9dhlqaef0aldl28d5f7ql3vpsuv393e" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Pawlicker 🐾😹</span> (<span class="italic">npub1gd4…393e</span>)</a></span><br/> <img src="https://media.shitposter.world/shitposter.club/73/37/b6/7337b61e17bd29cfbde72c822eee894dd9788e728a8e940279066bcbc8bc8358.jpg?name=ZI1PS90izNQa5g.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://media.shitposter.world/shitposter.club/b7/87/14/b78714165c4dff21cfd6e75ffb5f3d0605ca8d64523bf3d3515ec54ec5a0822b.jpg?name=JwIwKviyGVIXtw.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://media.shitposter.world/shitposter.club/e4/83/c6/e483c65d35ef512d1389c34d1ea030905dffb05687f6e5d65be55219a54cd133.jpg?name=hHYJ5HT1MkXviA.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://media.shitposter.world/shitposter.club/77/e5/a2/77e5a229334170e7d3940a574ee6049d6042c42d8abc93b54af392717ad391fb.jpg?name=LnYOfF7GBu7qyA.jpg"> <br/> 2025-08-04T02:20:16+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs8z8zucswhppk44xrludkvleuhg734t5gx4pu20fdr4nwunxzhx8qzyz0rstcnzvfkvury7ncxak0fttuwzt0fptetqn6kl3cct7c0ncugsgrwzfu <a href="https://www.animecornerstore.com/faq.html#1-1">https://www.animecornerstore.com/faq.html#1-1</a> :3deyes: :3deyes: :3deyes: <br/><br/>@coolboymew @noyoushutthefuckupdad <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1nn6n3kkdhg3rsycw4ztjmv8jg7gdazlq3q6up2hf6c2h23jun2gqq55yh9" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>SuperSnekFriend</span> (<span class="italic">npub1nn6…5yh9</span>)</a></span> Do any of you know abou this? 2025-07-24T21:50:26+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsgypvu39452s8w9hzh7uv9rrfsp9w2f4vxacj2x55ae4qcs53hqtczyz0rstcnzvfkvury7ncxak0fttuwzt0fptetqn6kl3cct7c0ncugs9p59r0 Finished Metallic Child!<br/><br/>Current day devs should take notes: this is how you bring older game ideas back to life. Everything about this game&#39;s narrative elements and aesthetics screamed Mega Man with whole new sounds. The devs are clearly fans of Rock, but they went their own way in designing a fun, engaging, and aesthetically pleasing game.<br/><br/>The gameplay itself was something I&#39;ve not seen elsewhere: rogue-like dungeon generation with beat-em-up combat and a deceptively simple power-up system. Rona&#39;s moveset was highly varied and made it fun to knock enemies around and get knocked around by enemies.<br/><br/>Of very special note is the game&#39;s presentation. The player is addressed personally as a human on Earth with a camera view of a space station wherein the plot and gameplay unfold. At the start of the game, he (or she, whatever) is given complete remote control of Rona, a taboo action but one necessary to revive her and save the Earth from a collision with the space station. The level of immersion this facilitates is more than most games of this or any caliber can muster and puts any FPS game to shame with its ingenuity and emotional impact.<br/><br/>Oh, one more thing: there are two shmup stages and they were loads of fun and very pleasant surprises.<br/><br/>9/10, strongly recommended. The only drawback is the game&#39;s relatively short length. However, the ending left things open for a sequel I hope materializes for a console I own.<br/><br/>#GameComplete<br/>#2025SoFar<br/>#MetallicChild<br/>#Switch<br/><br/>Cc: @coolboymew @noyoushutthefuckupdad <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1gd4d7a7t0akazhvf9yyjpsf87hj9dhlqaef0aldl28d5f7ql3vpsuv393e" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Pawlicker 🐾😹</span> (<span class="italic">npub1gd4…393e</span>)</a></span> @Blouie@poa.st @SuperSnekFriend@poa.st<br/> <img src="https://media.shitposter.world/shitposter.club/63/2a/85/632a85a05d5bf420a610d986291a2017526a4849e72916103e462813be3b9bf2.jpg?name=D-RrnSx8AbuHKg.jpg"> <br/> 2025-07-11T06:08:25+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqstqeka5ky4muglrcenwqs8fszcenraje0yuawuk49s0swvrnu79rgzyz0rstcnzvfkvury7ncxak0fttuwzt0fptetqn6kl3cct7c0ncugsuxqtge In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspfexn9td3akrp4vmrm88th5yd8nrpmqesga3vfv9ltpakknvujyguzgljg'>nevent1q…gljg</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;m not sure I understand this image.

The major changes are to stage layouts and boss weaknesses. There aren&#39;t many surprises, but the difficulty is ramped up. Part of that difficulty may have come from playing the game emulated: I don&#39;t have a SNES controller that works with my Linux machine without lag and had to play with a PS4 controller (no claw hand and the R1 button was finicky making dashing more difficult than necessary). Most of my deaths came from not holding down R1 hard enough and jumping into a hole.<br/><br/>Music was the same and enemies and bosses didn&#39;t react differently. However, boss rooms were redesigned with difficulty in mind. For example, Chill Penguin&#39;s boss room now has two bottomless pits on either side and low sections on the ceiling making dodging his attacks and avoiding instant death much more difficult. Each boss room has something like this even in Sigma&#39;s fortress.<br/><br/>Overall 6/10. The game was fun and it was a good early attempt at MMX hacking, but it wasn&#39;t Puresabe tier.<br/><br/>@coolboymew @noyoushutthefuckupdad @blouie@poa.st <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1gd4d7a7t0akazhvf9yyjpsf87hj9dhlqaef0aldl28d5f7ql3vpsuv393e" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Pawlicker 🐾😹</span> (<span class="italic">npub1gd4…393e</span>)</a></span> <br/><br/>#GameComplete<br/>#2025SoFar<br/>#ROMHack<br/>#MegaManX<br/> <img src="https://media.shitposter.world/shitposter.club/d3/6b/0c/d36b0c7f88c8684e067dda109072c3af0f32cbd7bc5a72bd31e029cb18b76fc3.png?name=8iPmxIvLRvsZBA.png"> <br/> <img src="https://media.shitposter.world/shitposter.club/aa/49/7d/aa497daab06c89ecc3c1bb183014044f710657aa4c709035d1e5acff03f7919c.png?name=3PCjV0k7wtLuTg.png"> <br/> <img src="https://media.shitposter.world/shitposter.club/14/cc/36/14cc366920675437a098df9350377e708071df1874c1b8d7070417b374075dc0.png?name=N6zXCgbx20hlwA.png"> <br/> 2025-07-04T00:55:49+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsw4n4hg7v4gvx42ntjz46thzlqknvdfkkqk8c4yh9c2u6fjfhq4jszyz0rstcnzvfkvury7ncxak0fttuwzt0fptetqn6kl3cct7c0ncugs7tmd53 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqst2d6d4yqpc9xjce0fkg0aldeh5vref8t2458hmzwu4d0h2k8hjzgjx93zx'>nevent1q…93zx</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I didn&#39;t get Goldeneye when it first came out because I had no interest in FPS games and other games had multiplayer that was more fun.

I realized that Nintendo made an RPG that is stimulating and fun to play by tweaking the combat and overworld movement in unique ways. SaGa and Final Fantasy had the overworld enemies and Active Time Battles respectively, but EarthBound took what worked of those and made them better with the green/red swirl mechanic for sneaking up on enemies and the rotating HP numbers as a timer. The combat visuals are still amazing and delightful. It was absolute genius to make the final boss a background thus equating him and his evil influence over people and objects with the backgrounds when fighting them.<br/><br/>Playing it emulated helped speed things up with battles and movement and such. The game could have been the base for so many future games, and the engine could have been a base for so much more. It&#39;s such a shame the sequel was such a disappointment.<br/><br/>Overall 8/10. The charm, the visual appeal, and the base engine have all aged very well.<br/><br/>#GameComplete<br/>#2025SoFar<br/>#EarthBound<br/>#Mother2<br/>#SNES<br/><br/>CC: @coolboymew, @noyoushutthefuckupdad, @sun, @supersnekfriend, <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1k3hmn6jzlqtj6d8mydvrqpwphnsmvncf6smc49ufy86q05vxquvq3323wk" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Tsuki 🌙</span> (<span class="italic">npub1k3h…23wk</span>)</a></span><br/> <img src="https://media.shitposter.world/shitposter.club/db/3c/fc/db3cfc3d21cc223e03b099f6ddcddaea424dfc22ec11b85a4800f7a1775aa796.png?name=jf8BgNzHTlf_6g.png"> <br/> 2025-04-11T22:55:20+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqspr8at54wj2kucga0mysuq0ryan54tkglr04djnm6pyqmtpcs672gzyz0rstcnzvfkvury7ncxak0fttuwzt0fptetqn6kl3cct7c0ncugsxumrfr In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9k2qz8luk682q94dua0z992d9rw56ltyymm66u7m7acjs9qlwrtc4g7hwr'>nevent1q…7hwr</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Precure? 2025-04-09T03:36:22+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqst9psxvjdx8jv63gjkern9xmchlugqnxn2x80r26epnvr5lredy9qzyz0rstcnzvfkvury7ncxak0fttuwzt0fptetqn6kl3cct7c0ncugsyyvvly In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrtrv00ln9zg5v9q3zpnexnp062kyp3xneefe5qf65jjm4smqyhvqc632ya'>nevent1q…32ya</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Sounds like you were smarter than the teacher. 2025-04-07T21:09:22+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsxchsm6hg9flv49pyadufsdpjgcx9u5hjswkeyflcctm4ekqw40kszyz0rstcnzvfkvury7ncxak0fttuwzt0fptetqn6kl3cct7c0ncugsf6nutt In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsw0klnjyyz5g2sere4u5sh3dd8v0ecnkhvnexgul0055fjufhzkeg5jgprr'>nevent1q…gprr</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>1. You&#39;re describing the theory behind it while the praxis is much less intuitive. The imprecision of the controls often results in a misaligned attack and, as a result, much more frustration and wasted time than if the game had had traditional controls. This destroys immersion and distracts from an appreciation of the narrative elements of the game. <br/><br/>2. The gameplay of SS is not conducive to the (relatively) relaxed and sedentary posture with which the vast majority of the medium has conditioned gamers. Again, this destroys immersion: the player must focus so hard on doing certain motions with body parts other than the hands and fingers (as he would with nearly all other video games) that it distracts from other aspects of the game. 2025-04-06T04:31:39+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsfcp4ahayvwhz7mvy2wejtktukjvv24layd2ev2tfdmf0fu3lcy4qzyz0rstcnzvfkvury7ncxak0fttuwzt0fptetqn6kl3cct7c0ncugsjh2gen In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrrqs3tyq2jzudfe90cux6ln624jlksnn6c9kjp5xzcysaym95f0gum7j2x'>nevent1q…7j2x</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I am now certain that you have no idea what you&#39;re talking about. Adding an unintuitive controller gimmick has nothing to do with the depth of a game. &#34;New&#34; does not equal &#34;complex&#34;, and complex gameplay does not make for a well-designed game, much less a well-designed video game. The video game medium has the capacity to tie together ludological elements with narrative elements in ways that traditional games do not. Majora&#39;s Mask does this to the umpteenth degree; it has intuitive controls established by its predecessor and needs no improvement ludologically or narratively. Ocarina of Time ties together its ludological and narrative elements together very well, though to a lesser but very important degree than Majora&#39;s Mask. Skyward Sword, on the other hand, does fails at doing this mostly because of its cumbersome controls. (It also has a poorly executed preoccupation with world-building for a series with several already established tropes and character types, but that&#39;s a different--though related--matter.)<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1au2f3qhf6q0hp34zmth55va2ryd6khrhvuj2t575ps9rcxhwq4tqmkwgql" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Christi Junior</span> (<span class="italic">npub1au2…wgql</span>)</a></span> 2025-04-06T02:52:16+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqszvl2tmwd8pcvgwn5sj0mhrzdf6ee77wmrpwlhjz3rs5aq52ugypgzyz0rstcnzvfkvury7ncxak0fttuwzt0fptetqn6kl3cct7c0ncugsqs7ngk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqevjj5ewrzhhnvl0auwl809nqufxy4wmx7f60vcp0mks7va3dppszafgvk'>nevent1q…fgvk</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>&gt; motion controls made it the deepest Zelda overall<br/><br/>What do you mean by this and how on earth did you come to this conclusion? 2025-04-06T00:17:13+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqspgg2wv3nlg8xu7qj40685s0pexk3jhyw6ujjq73splyjgwnweeuczyz0rstcnzvfkvury7ncxak0fttuwzt0fptetqn6kl3cct7c0ncugs9nagav @sun, when I go to tag someone on desktop, I get a little notification that says &#34;Throttled&#34;.

It presents itself as an early 90s FamiCom/NES game that never was, complete with era-appropriate OST, visuals, and artwork from the Dragon Half mangaka. The latter is what piqued my curiosity as it looked like yet another boring RPG. This game is far from a dull grindfest, though. It has very sparse roguelite elements, but the meat of the game is in exploration of its diegesis: an enormous tower with abundant secrets, shortcuts, and goodies to find.<br/><br/>The game shows its pedigree in the single-screen presentation - it clearly takes cues from games like Legacy of the Wizard and Castlequest - and in its gothic-horror aesthetic in the amazing visuals and the music. The devs made excellent use of the background to establish mood and make the world feel bigger than platforms, hazards, enemies, and ladders. Their love of the first three Castlevania games is obvious, and there&#39;s even a &#34;secret&#34; character who looks, moves, and attacks like some long-lost Belmont cousin. The game is only difficult if you plan on doing a speed-run or no-death run: the roguelite elements and the abilities your characters obtain makes the climb up the tower progressively easier and increasingly fun. It feels great to move and attack in the game, and the division of abilities between 3-5 unique characters is a mechanic I miss from titles like Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon (for N64) and Majora&#39;s Mask.<br/><br/>The only thing holding the game back is the sparseness of the plot. From the outset, the game does LOTS of world-building, but only uses a fraction of the narrative elements it mentions. It&#39;s full name is &#34;Astalon Episode II: Tears of the Earth&#34;, so I looked into its prequel. It doesn&#39;t exist :02shrug: At least, not as an official release. I read something about the devs designing the first episode in the style of the Game Boy with a plot focused on the father of one of the protagonists and about a possible &#34;Episode III&#34;. However, one of the main devs seems to be in Ukraine, so I may not want to hold my breath for a new release. If the other games ever come to fruition, it would not be beyond me to consider them all as one over-arching game and to give them a 10 of 10 if quality were consistent.<br/><br/>Overall, 9/10! The only thing holding this game back from being flawless in my eyes is the spoiled opportunity with the narrative elements. Even so, it&#39;s an excellent game and worth every penny if bought in hard copy.<br/><br/>*Inexplicably, my Linux machine does not want me taking screenshots of the game; all attempts merely snap my desktop.

This section (with immediate context) reads as follows:<br/><br/>&gt; (1) &#34;Obscene&#34; means material or a performance that:<br/><br/>&gt; (A) the average person, applying contemporary community standards, would find that taken as a whole appeals to the prurient interest in sex;<br/><br/>&gt; (B) depicts or describes:<br/><br/>&gt; (i) patently offensive representations or descriptions of ultimate sexual acts, normal or perverted, actual or simulated, including sexual intercourse, sodomy, and sexual bestiality; or<br/><br/>&gt; (ii) patently offensive representations or descriptions of masturbation, excretory functions, sadism, masochism, lewd exhibition of the genitals, the male or female genitals in a state of sexual stimulation or arousal, covered male genitals in a discernibly turgid state or a device designed and marketed as useful primarily for stimulation of the human genital organs; and<br/><br/>&gt; (C) taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, and scientific value.<br/><br/>&gt; (2) &#34;Material&#34; means anything tangible that is capable of being used or adapted to arouse interest, whether through the medium of reading, observation, sound, or in any other manner, but does not include an actual three dimensional obscene device.<br/><br/>&gt; (3) &#34;Performance&#34; means a play, motion picture, dance, or other exhibition performed before an audience.<br/><br/>&gt; (4) &#34;Patently offensive&#34; means so offensive on its face as to affront current community standards of decency.<br/><br/>&gt; (5) &#34;Promote&#34; means to manufacture, issue, sell, give, provide, lend, mail, deliver, transfer, transmit, publish, distribute, circulate, disseminate, present, exhibit, or advertise, or to offer or agree to do the same.<br/><br/>&gt; (6) &#34;Wholesale promote&#34; means to manufacture, issue, sell, provide, mail, deliver, transfer, transmit, publish, distribute, circulate, disseminate, or to offer or agree to do the same for purpose of resale.<br/><br/>&gt; (7) &#34;Obscene device&#34; means a device including a dildo or artificial vagina, designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs.<br/><br/>&gt; (b) If any of the depictions or descriptions of sexual conduct described in this section are declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawfully included herein, this declaration shall not invalidate this section as to other patently offensive sexual conduct included herein.<br/><br/><br/>Strictly speaking, boobs, butts, and muscles are de jure &#34;still okay&#34;, which leaves three glaring problems with this law as written (aside from the practical issues of its conflicts with free speech, free press, and freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures)<br/><br/>1. Why only the genitals? If &#34;decency&#34; is the goal here, why not include secondary sexual characteristics of characters appearing to be legal minor&#39;s? Most pornography stresses a focus on the foreplay toys of the body. And if a &#34;description&#34; of a sexual act qualifies, what about stuff like World War Blue or early episodes of Shimoneta where the characters skirt the line so closely in innuendo and descriptions that it&#39;s almost worse than merely depicting the act?<br/>2. The distinction between &#34;art&#34; and an &#34;actual three dimensional obscene device&#34; is arbitrary. If some jew sticks a vibrator on a stand and displays it in a museum and a child stands next to it long enough for someone to think the child is part of the display, does that count? Too absurd, perhaps, but certainly someone will push this envelope rather far and get away with it because &#34;art&#34;.<br/>3. Which brings me to the qualifier in 43.21 (a) (1) (C). This is the big one. The &#34;material&#34; must have &#34;serious literary, artistic, political, and scientific value.&#34; The &#34;and&#34; is extremely important here. Solomon&#39;s Song of Songs describes (euphemistically) two young lovers (at least one of whom may have been a minor by Texan standards) engaging in manual and oral sex and extensive descriptions praising the beauty of each others&#39; bodies. The text has serious literary and artistic value, but I have yet to see any scientific literature on it much less political speeches quoting it. Will Texas remove the Song of Songs from all Bibles in the state?<br/><br/>Yes, this is a slippery slope where our anime collections could put us at odds with the law. Yes, I think that works like Dragon Half and Ranma 1/2 and Dragonball should not be attacked by this. I also think that the manner in which our laws are written needs to be revisited altogether (for the better, of course) in addition to pushing back against stricter (and even more poorly written) editions to those laws.<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1nn6n3kkdhg3rsycw4ztjmv8jg7gdazlq3q6up2hf6c2h23jun2gqq55yh9" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>SuperSnekFriend</span> (<span class="italic">npub1nn6…5yh9</span>)</a></span> @sun <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub176rzvpj6dd8400mwafvyzh4jvt9ulcc2h36pg3hppyskxv6syq4q90yuqx" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Big Bird Phoenix (reborn) ☦️</span> (<span class="italic">npub176r…yuqx</span>)</a></span> @coolboymew @noyoushutthefuckupdad @Tsuki@amami.paradigm-x.tokyo<br/> <img src="https://media.shitposter.world/shitposter.club/5f/24/fd/5f24fde3f9cc31bfbcb343241ea27fd5ae95fe5941adf0973f7040560f9e4a28.gif?name=xH0OWmrr6D6wqw.gif"> <br/> <img src="https://media.shitposter.world/shitposter.club/ea/3e/70/ea3e702d9f5c7282f6513c82eb83c2d51e435ed3735e11c9e33972ce5a632fac.jpg?name=DuGqoi02No0FNA.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://media.shitposter.world/shitposter.club/de/21/28/de212891d6100c760dc77a4c6323b376c3f3c220502cfca01cf35cab50f27732.jpg?name=o8dB4lN9vDbQ8A.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://media.shitposter.world/shitposter.club/60/b0/b9/60b0b984eae6a8852770fc23ab0e902fd56d43e437f38f3ee8888d88ed641405.gif?name=80SbmwVCNayKzw.gif"> <br/> 2025-03-18T01:49:00+01:00
