@noiob ooh! that's not bad

thinking of maining anyone?

@Nystre creät tastey fod

@Nystre hee, the secret mario genre!

but actually though, it's always a little stupefying to discover a genre that you never knew existed outside of some specific game music

the last time that happened was when i found out that most JRPG music was nu jazz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz1-1N4PYSE

this message is brought to you by Griffin McElroy randomly playing the Pokemon theme on MBMBAM and me realizing "wait, why don't i know that yet??'

"i should sleep!"

(i say, immediately before learning how to play two separate pokemon themes on ukulele)

@noiob aaand oops, i'm totally acting like an ad right now (sorry!)

it's outright my favorite game series though--they have such good vibes!

@noiob yeah! quite a few more, actually!

explorers of sky is probably the longest of the bunch, because it has like 20 hours of post-game added to it that goes into detail of the back-stories of characters

gates was the first game on 3ds, and has an animal-crossing like building mechanic

and super has the largest scope, and the most polished gameplay, shaking up a lot of things (it's also harder)

@noiob oh! a lot has happened since then! three sets of games, in fact

the easiest ones to find right now are probably "gates to infinity" and "super mystery dungeon"

gates is the earlier of the two, and has a really satisfying story

also super mystery dungeon has the continents of all the previous games as places you can visit, and makes quite a few references to previous games (nothing story-significant though)

of the DS games, "explorers of sky" has everything the others do, and tons more

@noiob aaahh! they're so good!

i love these games so much!

@Kistaro yep! it's still going strong here too

it's interesting to see how far i can push my resources without leaving the apartment though

@HTHR@cybre.space there's no way for him not to be!

if he wasn't, sailor moon would still be sans undertale

i wanted to draw a location in pokemon super mystery dungeon, and was going to use the actual game as a reference

so i started it up and discovered i was at a story segment completely isolated from the place i wanted to look at

this is an extremely good excuse to play some mystery dungeon, and i'm definitely taking it!

@bombsfall@mastodon.social happy birthday, @bombsfall@mastodon.social! (and good night!)

*sees one of those positive messages directed at everyone*

my brain: oh yeah! this really does apply to everyone... except for me, of course!

hee, nice try, brain

maybe my resolution for next year should be to get out there as much as possible to counteract my self-exclusionary thoughts?

getting anxious over nothing is the last thing i need, and i think getting some proof that it's all unfounded might be just what i need

@KommaChameleon i totally didn't expect it either

i'm glad they went through with it though, because a deus ex machina would have felt so cheap after all of that

i wonder what this means for future marvel things though?

@99CentSoftness if they barked behind each other, at least there would be a chance for tail call optimization
