Hey man, congratulations on this milestone! This was a great re-cap to read through, thanks for posting, as always. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for your continued endeavors :)
Congrats on the milestone! I have been looking forward what games would be the ones you enjoyed the most.
I never have played the Uncharted Series. I think I should buy a PS4 and just buy the all the games. I would love to play them on PC though. Maybe I’ll look into an emulator.
RPCS3 runs like a miracle if you have the specs. If you can I’d suggest it. I’m kind of contemplating setting it up myself just to play them again. Or maybe trying that PS4 emulator I’ve heard so much about.
Alternatively, I bought my PS3 used for around $60 on eBay. And this is one of the models that can be soft modded with CFW so if you’d like to acquire it with “alternative” methods it’s an option. But even then, I was able to get disc copies of the second and third games for around $10 apiece
I like a lot of middle evolutions better than final, Charmeleon included. Wartortle with those wing-ears, the Nidoran middle forms are pretty good. Zubat is better than Golbat. Meowth has more going on than Persian which is just any regular cat from Earth. Voltorb is better than Electrode, but in fairness they're both just Pokéballs--I always thought Electrode should have been modeled after a Great Ball or something.
Are you serious!? First of all, Haunter is indeed S-tier design, but so is Gengar???
Here’s a list of a FEW middle evos who have far better designs than their first/last evos: Wartortle, Dragonair, Arctibax, Dolliv, Rhydon, Dottler — I could go on….!
Am ready, willing, and able to fight to the death over these opinions, so come at me!!!
Going from Haunter to Gengar, they added arms and legs and big square teeth. All of which are functionally unnecessary for a ghost. And the overall aesthetic went from “scary” to “goofy”.
Are you just grabbing screens and reviewing stuff from your collection? Because that’s a lot of gaming, like I have played thousands of games over the last 27 years. But, I can’t game and write with that kind of dedication. Really respectable. Have you considered, cataloguing these and getting a blog? Or turning them into Youtube reviews? You gotta lot of material to work with here, all the hard work is done.
I’d say it’s more so that I play a game and I’ll see something that makes me go “wow that’s cool”. So I’ll take a screenshot to share with friends. And I’ve been doing this for years. And I only have like 20 screenshots for a game at the end of the day. And initial initially It just started me showing off the backlog.
But it kind of turned into doing new screenshots every day. And I’m a college student, who right now doesn’t have a job. So, I have a lot of free time.
I have considered doing a blog. Maybe not YouTube reviews. Very much for me this is more like “here’s a cool thing I like. I like this. here’s why” and I feel like reviews, while they have their own merit, kind of take away from that. Because some of the games that I have played, I think there’s no denying that they’re bad games. I still like them though.
Though now I’m typing that, I suppose offering my opinion on these games as in a way made me a sort of reviewer. So regardless of whether I want to or not, my words hold some weight
That’s pretty cool man, respect that. Yeah, I get that 100%. Video Reviews can be pretty formulaic as well, good for stabilising an income if you can cultivate the audience. But, then it’s not something for you.

I suppose Ross from Accursed Farms does reviews that fit that category. Anyway, glad to see someone commit to something they care about and produce something of value consistently. Be proud of it.
Congratulations on making it on a year of posts, your contributions are greatly appreciated! I particularly enjoy seeing your stuff because you play a lot of games that I haven’t played, (and probably I will not play) but I get to know a bit about them and appreciate the artistic vision and a tiny bit of the world through your eyes and writing. You take good screenshots as well!
Also, the written format is also something I favor over video (there is already too much of that around) and enjoy the personal touch. Today I read you with my morning coffee. :)
It very much was a night of celebration. I went out and got pizza and played some more Halo 3 with friends before sleeping in. Very much though if I did end up streaming, I think it would be disconnected from these screenshots. It would be its own separate project because I’d like it to be able to stand on its own. I’d probably keep it disconnected entirely. Probably even its own account.
It’s been fun to follow this past year! You’ve been through some bangers, I have an equal love for the Alan Wake games and the New Vegas DLCs are some of the best in gaming imo.
It’s been a very pleasant and cozy daily routine to read, even though I admit I am more interested whenever you’re playing something new and giving your insights and first impressions.
Regardless though these posts have been a fixture of Lemmy I appreciate, so thank you for your persistence!
It’s been very nice seeing familiar faces like yours through the screenshots!
I’m absolute ass at names, so profile pictures are the only way I can really remember people. So between you, the Monster Hunter Slime Guy, and the guy with the Sonic Pride PFP it’s been very nice having some consistent faces. And I’m sure there’s others too that I just can’t remember the name of since they have generic profile picture. But I’m glad to have them there too. So basically I appreciate you too
