there's something about the small numbers in paper mario that just *works*, really well

you start with 10 hp, most early-game enemies do 1 damage per attack, and mario does 1 damage per attack too. early enemies have like 3-5 hp. these numbers increase, but few if any enemies have more than 100 hp and doing more than 10 damage at once is a lot of damage even in the late game

i just like that more than the FF system where things are easily in the tens of thousands.

our desktop can run dolphin pretty well. maybe baten kaitos? what do people think of that?

if i do a stream (which will probably be friday or saturday), what game would people want to see me do? we don't have a capture card yet so it'd have to be a PC game or easily emulated game

wanna do something relatively unknown, but really good, too. Hmmm.

fedi should have single-transferrable-vote polls

how about we stop discontinuing things and replacing them with new versions that are lacking features the old versions had

this is a bit of a graphic design failure

i am also not sure that ypbpr capture cards exist

wow capture cards are not cheap

hmm

we've never tried it before but

would streaming games be a thing we could try doing maybe????

would people want to watch casual playthroughs?

we don't have a capture card but emulation exists

if you think about it, any strategy game can be considered a chess variant

@Spixz@mastodon.social Hi, did you read my profile before sending that follow request?

it is certainly a Thing when someone you know who doesn't use fedi suddenly brings up the same obscure topic (bitter almonds) that you were earlier talking about on here

that was a mini-anxiety-spike. I have no reason to believe the people in question are stalkerish or anything, it's probably a coincidence, but wow that was a stress burst

is the original or the psp remake better?

sudden desire to play final fantasy tactics

nevera ctually completed it

apparently you can fry one of those frozen puff pastry sheets to make an approximation of funnel cake and now i want to try that

(if you aren't aware: bitter almonds contain a substantial amount of cyanide. eating about half a dozen of them could be enough to kill a human) (regular non-bitter almonds contain very little cyanide and are not dangerous at all; this only applies to bitter almonds)

why exactly is it possible to just go to the store and buy a bag full of bitter almonds again??

so does anyone else know about the chip bag microwave thing or is that just us

popcorn colonals

so what happened in politics that people are talking about today?
