Which do you find nicer to play on?

(context: thinking about getting one in the future to be able to take advantage of dual-cart things some games use, with a gba game and a ds game both in the console)

is megaman 9 an actual NES ROM being played as a virtual console thing, or is it just a Wii game with a *lot* of attention to detail re: NES limitations?

uspol, serious question 

what the hell kind of rhetoric convinces people that "we should help people who need it" is an idea to be opposed??? why are people against the whole medicare for all idea??

(no, i have no idea what it means, but i felt like doing this)

apparently in megaman 7 if you hold B while entering shademan's stage, the music is replaced with a remix of the ghouls 'n' ghosts music

i appreciate that

mh~ 

today's mood seems to be "okay, but it wouldn't take much to move to not okay"

to be fair we *did* use an action replay to get the area K sub tank, because fuck that tight timing stuff, that's all kinds of frustrating

Just managed to beat Megaman ZX on normal difficulty! It's not the hardest game ever but we normally have to go for easy mode in anything actiony so that's a Thing!

i like how megaman speedrunners refer to uncharged buster shots as "lemons"

question re: speedrunning (maybe twitch) 

what does "sour please" mean in the context of speedrunning?

uspol, - 

ughhhh
the incompetent fool of a white-house resident is apparently visiting our college campus on saturday

that said, the scaling on the 3DS is really not that bad, I'm not sure how they made it look as good as it does

Show thread

Just because a lot of people seem to not know: If you have a 3DS and are playing DS games on it, if you hold start or select while the DS game is booting after being selected from the main menu, you can play it in the original DS resolution, which means you get sharp, clean pixel art at the cost of smaller screens.

@Felthry The "e" in emoji is actually from the character 絵, which means "picture". So they're "picture symbols". Still a neat coincidence that it ends up seemingly related to "emotion", and I wouldn't be surprised if it were deliberate on the part of the original inventor.

thoughts on linguistics, extinct languages 

Language learning is hard but I kind of feel like we ought to try to learn the languages of our ancestors, to preserve languages that would otherwise die out

there are languages with less than ten fluent speakers out there and they have their own unique features, and probably their own oral tradition that ought to be preserved

...I wish we could say we were trying to do just that but. we only know english and our ancestors spoke languages like German and Dutch that are in no danger of extinction, and trying to learn a dying language from a culture you've never been anywhere close to being a part of would be... I don't know, it feels like it'd be wrong

still. i'd like to learn another language sometime. Not for its usefulness, but because some languages deserve more than they're getting.
