on top of that it's an autoscroller so even if you know you missed too many collectibles at the start you have to wait for the whole thing to finish

oh also there are barely enough collectibles to actually complete the stage, and if you don't you have to start all over

playing the harry potter 1 psx game because why not and

did they playtest this at all? this is _extremely_ difficult, and not in a good way

there are mandatory sections where you have to try to collect things while on a gringotts minecart with wonky physics, and the screen rotates every which way but the warnings saying "obstacle ahead" or "collectible ahead" point the same way regardless of screen rotation

consider:

bat-eared fox / flying fox gryphon
one: bats are like birds but not, and foxes are like cats but not
two: it's a fox named after a bat combined with a bat named after a fox
three: holy crap just think how adorable that would be

For every hard thing, there is an easy thing: failing at the hard thing

Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django

Boktai is one of those fantastic series that got very little attention and got left by the wayside not long after its debut. This piece, played near the beginning of the game, opens the game with a feeling of adventure, setting the scene for what's to come quite well, in my opinion.

I do love a piece that makes good use of the GBA's sound chip. It may not be high-fidelity sound, but that slight bit of chiptuniness really makes it, if the composer knows how to handle it well. And I think Hibino does.

Like the Wild ARMs series, Boktai has that unusual sort of setting and theming that combines high fantasy, sci-fi, and western in a way that just appeals to me, and the music reflects that as well, with a feeling reminiscent of a spaghetti western movie... Just, with vampires and zombies.

fuck, just realized I forgot to actually link the musici this time >.<

(I don't mean to guilt people into giving me attention or anything I'm just, wondering if anyone reads it)

so, does anyone actually read/follow/show-any-interest-in-at-all ? I like doing it but it feels like every post kinda just gets ignored...

so the game in question was the ps1 release of harry potter an the sorcerer's stone because we have really extreme nostalgia for the pc and gbc releases and wanted to try the ps1 one

and holy _hell_ these character models are bad

Show thread

just got a ps1 game we ordered and wow, it was really from a different time

"interact with over 20 characters!"

is tabletop rpg a mainstream thing now

they have displays pretty prominently of D&D rulebooks and starter kits in _target_ now

reminder that since sheik uses he/him pronouns, zelda is canonically genderfluid (or some other form of genderqueer)

or maybe they're just plural, hm

I wonder how well metroid prime would work in vr, considering it's already first-person and has the HUD entirely be information displayed on a high-tech helmet

(this is not really a serious post or anything and I am not asking people to translate their jokes, just to be clear. speak the language you like!)

mad at being monolingual because I keep seeing multilingual people we know post what are probably really funny jokes in French

was thinking about how inconvenient it is (not very but it still is!) to have to keep the mouse separate from the laptop when travelling and thought about having a space in the laptop to put a mouse, then remembered that laptops in the 90s and early 00s actually had such a space
