It is one of those modern Pokemon hacks that are just ludicrously hard, or is it casually enjoyable?

LucidNightmare,

You can make it as easy or as hard as you want!

It comes with documentations for the game and the mechanics. One of those has some cheats you can put in to play your way. Their previous romhack Emerald Seaglass was the same way.

Highly recommend both!

chunes,

To add to what the other commenter said, there is a hard mode that is off by default. It seems more aimed at reasonable difficulty.

halo 3 and onward sucked though

Whoa there, unpopular opinions belong in a different community you absolutely incorrect person.

Grass,

I dunno man, the flip flopping on the weird cortana fixation got old fast

sleep_deprived,

That was 4 and beyond, really. Cortana isn’t even in 3 except little snippets until you grab her from High Charity in the second to last level.

Grass,

It must have been me hoping that cortana would reprise her role in 3… aside from odst and seemingly reach, the only thing I remember is how much of a slog the cortana hallucinations or whatever that was and the didact part being somehow even less enjoyable

Harvey656,
@Harvey656@lemmy.world avatar

Wasn’t that 4 and 5?

sleep_deprived,

Whoa, 3 and ODST absolutely rule, and Reach is great if you aren’t a purist. Especially Reach’s forge mode, that shit was the bee’s knees back in the day

Grass,

I wasn’t inlcuding odst, and was reach the one that opens in a helicopter with the invisible elite on the ground? Those get a pass. None of the numbered releases after 2 did it for me though

Looks like the dev’s Ko-Fi is the official source for the download: ko-fi.com/nemo622

No offense, but I’m way more interested in this Crystal styled Emerald romhack itself than whatever drama is happening around it.

Although I am sad to hear that yet another creator has been badgered out of enjoying their work. That sucks.

ZoteTheMighty, do gaming w Still waiting...

There’s a Comcast store near me that still has a window ad for Superman Returns in the window. It’s still there because they moved out and no one else moved in since, but I like to think it’s because someone really loved the movie.

greybeard,

There was a Party City that closed around here, and they left the window display, a Halloween store moved in for October. They reused the signage, just painting fangs and Frankenstein bolts onto the kids in the pictures. Of course, as soon as October was over, they disappeared, so now there are just evil kids in the abandoned windows.

people really need to stop giving shitty twitter trolls the time of day. they now get to cheerfully read an article that mentions their behavior.

should have just cut that part out and focus on how kickass this romhack is. don’t even give them a second of time in anyone’s mind. let them rot in their little cesspools.

while we have a kickass time playing a cool pokemon hack =D

My article can be pretty easily broken down into:

  • What ROM hacks are
  • Pokémon ROM hacks in particular
  • Lazarus
  • The dev’s own response to shitty behavior

I don’t think I focused on Twitter’s behavior. I didn’t share any screenshots of tweets, nor did I quote any. There’s not much I can see I wrote here that can be glorified by the losers.

Should I…not write about how shitty the situation is for the developer (and so many others in this space) because a handful of idiots might think they’re being mentioned? I’m struggling to find what I should cut out of my article there!

Nima,
@Nima@leminal.space avatar

I meant no disrespect. only meant these people aren’t worth it. I know you didn’t focus on it.

just makes me sad that the dev mentioned it.

Im not gonna make any statements but I think this video might have some credibility. It comes from the person who gave the early heads up for the steam hardware launch :3

Sounds like most of the issue here is Twitter? Get the fuck off of Twitter. Why would anyone ever care what anyone on Twitter thinks about ANYTHING?

regdog,

Get off Twitter. You can just leave. Do it now!

Ghost of Tsushima (PS5), still taking it slowly! Cleared out the act 1 side content, took a break before the final quest. Loving the moment-to-moment gameplay, very satisfying and with some skill upgrades they make you feel super powerful!

God of War: Chains of Olympus (PSP), more of the same as GoW 1 and 2 which is a good thing. Those gaze enemies though, annoying as ever. In Hades now.

Fantastic game. I’ve been playing. Its fun.

Imagine sending someone hatemail because they like rocky road while your favorite is salted caramel. Who cares whats in their bowl? Why care? Eat your own fucking ice cream, losers.

SnotFlickerman,

Not just that, but this is free home-made ice cream.

@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

hahahahhah I like this one! SO true!

regdog,

Imagine releasing a passion project, and then going on hatemail.com to check for constructive feedback.

Not saying that the developer is at fault here. But NOT going to twitter.com is the first step towards a happier life.

I’ve started playing Factorio again. Let’s see how far I get this time

strlcpy,

I’m scared of starting this game. Zachtronics games are bad enough on my sanity!

Lunacid. Just finished 100%ing it and I’m impressed. I wasn’t expecting to get so much out of it, but it took nearly 40 hours.

Gullible, do games w Pokémon Lazarus: When a Fan Game Becomes a Conversation

I’d come to enjoy several creators who simply could not tolerate the negative attention of bigots. People’s desire to compel conformity, against the very nature of their subjects, creates a society that is not only deleterious to them and their subject, but mentally taxing to the rest of us. Literally not a single soul directly involved in this comes out ahead. It’s just a game designed to promote infighting and tertiary power grabs.

And that’s why I love lemmy. The general absence of []-phobes is fantastic. It’s the only reason I can tolerate the general inability to read sarcasm here.

PerfectDark,
@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

Agreed on all fronts there!

I’ve been spending a fairly sizable amount of time lately with the Android emulation scene, and the amount of times the public goes nuclear over the tiniest inconsequential things is…just unbelievable. From the []-phobes to death threats. I wish that people would learn some social skills.

The dev of Lazarus didn’t have this kind of reaction to Seaglass, so I think we could say that this trend of being a disgusting bigot is one which is being ‘allowed’ more recently than it once was in social media.

SnotFlickerman,

so I think we could say that this trend of being a disgusting bigot is one which is being ‘allowed’ more recently than it once was in social media.

I always try to bring this up because honestly, if we go pretty far back in internet terms, we can see that this has actually been brewing for over a decade.

In 2013, EA won the Consumerist poll for “Worst Company in America.” While mostly people pointed to arguably rational reasons for these votes (DRM, microtransactions, badly made and released games), the COO of EA had some other thoughts as to why they got hammered so hard as the worst company:

In the past year, we have received thousands of emails and postcards protesting against EA for allowing players to create LGBT characters in our games. This week, we’re seeing posts on conservative web sites urging people to protest our LGBT policy by voting EA the Worst Company in America. That last one is particularly telling. If that’s what makes us the worst company, bring it on. Because we’re not caving on that.

When this happened in 2013, most of us thought this was absolute bunkum and just EA doing damage control. Now, I’m genuinely not so sure anymore. I think perhaps some suit at EA had noticed something happening, some change in the waters that had not yet become “mainstream” but was bubbling beneath the surface, slowly growing. People made fun of this response from EA, because we thought at the time “this is the modern era, those are just backwards fools stuck in the past that are complaining about LGBT inclusion, if they even exist at all, I bet EA is making it up to cover for how shitty they are.” But… were they?? At the time it was roundly dismissed because popular culture widely accepted LGBTQ inclusion, but now we’re on a backswing and people feel emboldened to be disgusting bigots and be loud and proud about being a exclusive asshat who hates people different than themselves. Has it just been brewing under the surface for over a decade?

Hazzard,

Damn, I hate how often I look at a situation like that and just think… what a waste. Some morons came in and ruined the message most of us were trying to send to EA by making them the “Worst Company in America”. Now these gross bigots get a “win”, and EA gets to sidestep all the legitimate anti-consumer issues most people were railing against. What a waste. And it feels like that’s everything these days, someone gross is always “on your side” looking to claim your victories for their own narratives.

Odo,

I still have my doubts that was the majority of the issue, at least the first time they “won” that award in 2012. That poll happened 1 month after Mass Effect 3’s release, when emotions were still raw over people’s disappointment with the game’s ending. That’s not to defend those who were voting for EA over, say, Nestle or any number of other awful companies. But most of what I saw was immature lashing out to punish anyone perceived as responsible for the writing. I remember people cheering they’d managed to harass EA’s tech support Twitter account into closing, like they’d made some great moral victory. It was all pretty gross, just for different reasons than EA claimed.

SnotFlickerman,

I’m not saying it was a majority issue, I’m saying the beginnings of the social turn against LGBTQ openness and inclusion has been brewing under the surface for a long time and this is potentially evidence of it.

ObtuseDoorFrame,

Lemmy appears to have a lot of autistic users on it, which explains the struggles to understand sarcasm. But autistic people tend to be open-minded and we’re often targeted by the same bigots that you’re lamenting about. So while the sarcasm thing is an issue, it’s also a sign of an open-minded user base.

TheJesusaurus,

Dang Ive been wrestling with the realization that I might be neurodivergent in some way, I’m on Lemmy but I do understand sarcasm. This hasn’t helped at all

ObtuseDoorFrame,

Understanding the concept of sarcasm and recognizing it amidst a conversation are very different things.

Also: autism isn’t the only type of neurodivergence and failure to recognize sarcasm isn’t a trait that 100% of autistic people share.

HopeOfTheGunblade,

We actually fairly recently had a severe mental event, and since then, frequently read sarcasm as serious on the first pass and sometimes for some time after.

It fucking sucks from this side, too. We just go charging at someone and then have to be like, oh, uh, sorry, guess I was socially stupid!

We can at least take some solace in knowing we all hate the situation together?

Gullible,

I certainly don’t blame anyone. Fervent protection of disadvantaged groups is fine by me, even from people looking to do the same. Lol

vateso5074,

I’m out of the loop, did I miss some drama?

HopeOfTheGunblade,

Not… that this one is aware of?

What drama are you envisioning?

vateso5074,

Sorry, I think I misinterpreted your comment. Are you using something like the “royal we”? I initially read it as referring to Lemmy as a collective, figuring you were talking about something that happened here.

brsrklf,

Well, thank you very much, because of that last sentence I’ve parsed your message three times wondering if some of it was sarcasm.

Gullible,

No, I was entirely sincere. Not that it would matter, as people would likely take me at face value

SSUPII,

Unfortunately they can be anywhere.

I received death threats by an extreme fatphobe on Lemmy.

Gullible,

That sucks. I imagine they were banned pretty expediently, though. Was that the case?

SSUPII, (edited )

They only had their comments removed for “being rude”. They did not get banned.

Studies are being done to look for treatment and prevention of various issues historically treated with primarely weight loss. This research is finding positive results, and for some things like prediabetes it can be treated even while the person is gaining more weight. This is extremely imlortant research, because weight loss is not something everyone can and wants to do.

A comment attacked the research as useless as “the fatties” should just lose weight. After I responded with the importance for everyone of any size for this type of research being done, death in horrible and gruesome ways was wished on me and all other fat people and was even extremely proud of it too doubling down after being called out.

Outside of this one case, talking about body positivity and body liberation here on Lemmy feels like a minefield that will blow off any moment at any time. Either due to some crazy dude just attacking me or someone arguing it is all invalid because they don’t agree me and people in general can also not feel miserable in their bodies.

Gullible,

I guess lemmy still has a ways to go, as well. I’m sorry you went through that, and I hope it’ll be the last

SSUPII,

Thanks. Best of luck to you too!

No one has paid to replace it or has the money to do so. I faced this challenge in bike shops with advertising media. It is risky to accept large stuff like this from brand reps. It comes down to a plan and the level of investment in the product. Looks like someone bought in and had no long term plan for the space. Looks like a business on the threshold of black to red finances.
