the joke is that it's the same rom file and you can just set the language to english, but a SFC cart still costs way less on the second hand market

That's what I did the first time I played FFV and I ended up hating it. Once you branch out though you discover all kinds of crazy poo poo and it makes the game a lot more interesting.

heck, one of the most fun things about job system games is figuring out how to get around not having a white mage :getin:

more so in bravely than in FFV since you have more options, but still. I beat bravely the first time with a spiritism vampire, singing conjurer, bushido pirate and dark arts ninja. Sky's the limit!

I replaced a Pokemon Silver battery with simple electric tape. No intention of playing it, but it satisfied a tinkering curiosity.

oh christ this reminds me

i wanted to play gold and silver again but the batteries were dead, so i opened my gold cart and did not have a soldering gun to take off the old battery. so instead i used an xacto knife to cut the solder that held the battery in. when i finally busted through the solder, the knife kept going into the side of my thumb i was holding the cart in place with, and given that it was an xacto knife, that poo poo went in deep.

i intentionally left a little bit of the blood on the inside of the cart as a reminder to my future self to never be that loving stupid again.

Y'know, after all this is over, I think we should all grab a discord for hanging out. I'm sure it won't be as active or hype as this has been, but it's been fun hanging out with everyone and it'd be nice to keep the atmosphere alive somewhere after the marathon is over

Okay, speedfriends, if I may be uncomfortably sincere for a moment. I know the marathon isn't over yet, but I wanted to get this off my heart before it gets late and sleep deprivation kicks in.

I'm a sadbrained shut-in NEET, and I've been having an extra rough time for the last month before AGDQ. Most of my days for the last 3-4 years have been spent alone in my room, either watching anime or movies, or more recently doing drugs. And next week, I expect that to come back, I expect things to be hard again and I expect to struggle with a lot of poo poo.

But for this one glorious week, I have been able to fill my days with something fun and meaningful. I have been able to hang out with a bunch of nerds making jokes about other nerds playing video games. It might sound pathetic, but it's been like a weeklong festival, like one of those giant music festivals except I don't have to leave my room. I'm not particularly deep into video games, but that has not been much of an obstacle to being able to hang out with all you wonderful people and just having a real good time, whether we're breaking the sound barrier during hype runs, mashing the emptyquote button, posting weird fetish art and funny gifs, joking about runners and runs, or just chilling and talking about everything and nothing. I don't really do the whole "friends" thing IRL so it's been a rare treat for me, especially since everyone has been so nice and accepting (shoutouts to beep by grandpa for creating and always helping maintain that atmosphere).

Now I'm sure a lot of you all are in quite different situations, but I also think many of you might have a tough or not very happy life and, like me, have enjoyed some relief from all that through this thread. Regardless, I just wanted to tell you all that I have thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with you all this week and all of you are really cool and nice people. I haven't been able to contribute with too much of value and my lack of socialization has probably made me overcompensate by posting a ton more than I should, but for once I haven't had the constant voice in my head telling me everyone is annoyed by me, which is a compliment to the welcoming and accepting atmosphere you all have created and maintained. Thank you all sincerely, and if you, like me, have tough times ahead, let's all strive to do this again in future GDQ chat threads, and use that as a motivation to keep going on. :unsmith:

I'm in a pretty similar situation myself and yeah having this thread to hang out in for the past week has been extremely fun and good. Six months to SGDQ! :hf:

Maybe i'm remembering wrong, it's been like 13 years since I last played the game and every first impression of the game from other people that I've seen since is pretty souring in the "you're not playing the game the right way so it's loving ruthless and awful" sense
