the Hearth @Felthry@awoo.space

someone tell us about good pc-engine/turbografx games (including the cd ones)

we got a flashcart and want to know what's worth trying on the system, other than the ones we already know about (Ys, mostly)

@kat we've seen like two people mention jet set radio today and that's two more than normal, did something happen related to it?
-F

@sharkNserg excellent!

may the unpacking go well
-F

@avie final fantasy 7 immediately comes to mind as something that's really overrated but also still really good
-F

@avie i don't think this is a hot take but maybe that's just because we agree with it
-F

@heatherhorns are these in the wrong order?
-F

thing that bugs us: person doing a video game on stream, allows themself to get really distracted by talking to the stream audience, gets frustrated that they keep dying on a difficult part where you really don't want to be distracted, refuses to recognise that the distraction is the problem and blames the game

@socks is a very good catbatbot, i appreciate them

castlevania-themed party snack: hors d'oeurve of ecclesia
-F

@noiob yeah but they could have easily had incubi instead

well maybe not easily, they would have needed to make new sprites most likely, but they could have

(i don't know all the history of the mythology, but etymologically succubus just comes from "lies under" and incubus from "lies on top of", so you could also argue that succubi are just bottoms regardless of gender)
-F

you know i just realized, in castlevania tradition you encounter succubi in order of ecclesia, except they're all feminine-presenting

i choose to believe that this means that shanoa is gay, because if a supernatural creature wants to seduce her (they actually do have voice clips that indicate that they do want to), i imagine they appear in the form she finds most attractive, after all

if you have a dragon from zelda handling paperwork, is that a documentus?
-F

this says a lot of things that other people have already said about how advertising is a really bad thing
-F

using the internet is so infinitely better when you have good adblock and script blocking

@noiob @Nine i mean i agree but also the thing i said about complaining to the manufacturer of a faulty part? they'll look at the fact that the temperature *could* have been changed and say too bad, we're not doing anything for you
-F

@noiob @Nine €150? it's only $100-ish here

your point still stands though
-F

@noiob @Nine there's actual reason for this, process control stuff

you don't want some worker who thinks they know better changing the temperature and ending up with a lot of unreliable cold joints, or heating the board too much and damaging parts--and even if it doesn't damage anything if a part fails and you complain to the manufacturer they'll just say "well you didn't solder it to our specifications so too bad"
-F

@noiob @Nine none of that annoyance of "having to remember the layout of a keypad" or "having up and down buttons"
-F

@noiob @Nine it's only two buttons to keep track of!
