Watching specific posters spend months calling people rape supporters and nazis cuz they still play star craft or diablo, talking up D4 or Dragonflight is super funny, I agree.

I legit never played a Kirby until late last year when I broke out the NES Classic for my kiddos. I was super suprised at how fun it was and it seems to have aged really well. Feel like I have a lot of catching up to do.

highly recommend Kirby's Dreamland 2 then Kirby Super Star. top tier games.

Trying to use the XMB when you've got menus five-six levels deep is either the depths of hubris or the depths of stupidity, and I find myself not wishing to mine the minds of the makers to find out.

the alternative is just going back to individual emulators. the upside is, a lot of cores really have to contrive poo poo to work in retroarch and its more of a pain in the rear end the further away your system gets from the snes

NESticles bloody hand didn't bug me at that age bc I think I had already played Warcraft 2 and the orcs badass bone sticking out really stuck with me.

But for some reason this other emulator, I think genecysr or some poo poo had this dripping red blood banner and that one did make me uneasy.

Man I used to spend so much time looking for cool cursors to use on my PC. And iconoacks to reskin windows stuff into random anime or MegaMan poo poo or pacman

Downloading roms one at a time from a website with three windows open bc no tabs yet, so when your NetZero connection finished doing a snes ROM in 15 minutes you're ready to start downloading the next one.

i completely forgot about the blood banner, possibly because i didn't do genesis stuff as much beyond sonic and phantasy star

the olden days of ZSNES were such a wild time, just spending nights browsing through the ROM lists looking for interesting titles and praying i didn't accidentally download malware. i don't think i ever found any real gems, although getting to play unreleased stuff like tales of phantasia and bahamut lagoon was a treat

i love how weird jailbreaking consoles can get, like the dreamcast being cracked via a random audio CD that let you overcome security checks, or the 3DS having a game so terribly coded that you could perform ACE through it to bypass the lockdown

I will be playing the not just released Zelder this evening.

I am currently in the sky dungeon in Twilight Princess and it is pretty awesome - just got the item and am fully prepared to get through as much as I can. I actually figured it out what it would be due to Regy deliberately telling me to go somewhere that dropped me to my doom.

(Everyone also had a 'huge discussion' about the difference between the EU and the US on floor numbering in houses and buildings and that was pretty funny to me. :twisted:)

Chances are high I finish it Sunday, which then means Super Mario Sunshine. I am STILL super pumped from demolishing Super Mario 64 all those months ago and looking forward to bettering myself in the 3D platformering realm. :hai:

G is for Ground
1 is for the 1st floor, the 2nd level to the building
etc

the proper floor naming scheme is 0 for ground floor, 1 for first floor, etc. so that you can tell people legitimately that you're going to negative world whenever gotta hit up the basement
