Yaay!!

I donned my fanciest attire, and went to get this screenshot for you. (Pls read the text, is a little npc dialogue)

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. :)

Thank you!

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.

Awesome job on the anniversary. I didn’t read everyday but I enjoyed seeing the posts. Your dedication to Lemmy content is admirable. Hats off to you.

I don’t think so, looks right to me.

A_Union_of_Kobolds,

I actually loved my Charmeleon, you can get some great attacks for him that just wipe the floor with everything more or less.

But evolving him was always #1 priority, its true.

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

Gengar is the only Pokémon that comes to mind as not being a clear aesthetic upgrade over its previous evolutionary stage.

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.

ltxrtquq,

Zubat, Meowth, and Voltorb are all first evolutions though, and only Zubat even has a third evolution.

mienshao,

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!!!

SatyrSack,
@SatyrSack@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

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”.

PineRune,

Goofy kinda makes sense, if you go by their highlight episode they premiered in (not counting ep.1 for Gengar).

Dragonair

Yes!! Cute purple snake-dragon > elegant purple snake-dragon > doofy orange off-brand Charizard. 😭

I love the Dratini line, and thus Dragonite by default (and glad it’s popular because we get some great Dratini/Dragonair cards) , but COME ON!!

glimse,

Hermesturtle is a worse design than Blastoise IMO. Looks like water/flying

faltryka,

There’s a fight here now thanks to you. I just want you to know though, I’m on your side… blastoise > hermesturtle

MushroomsEverywhere,

Rhydon has got to be cheating here. Most of the ones that got evolutions in future generations look worse (see also: Magmortar and Electivire).

slazer2au,

Gengar is a recoloured Clefable.

Empricorn, (edited )

Uh, Dragonite exists. Cool blue dragon-snake, cooler blue dragon snake, then bam! Derp the Orange Dragon with a gut, out of nowhere…

Solid dedication! Nice work!

Thank you for contributing meaningfully to making this community awesome.

themurphy, do games w Day 365 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing (One Year Anniversary!)

You did it, legend.

Congrats, it has been a fun ride so far! Halo 3 is an excellent choice!

Mobile, do games w Day 365 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing (One Year Anniversary!)

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.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

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

Zahille7, do games w Day 365 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing (One Year Anniversary!)

Hell yeah

Happy 1 year anniversary! ❤️

Can’t believe 365 days have flown by. It’s been fun going through these posts.

It feels like as I get older time passes a lot faster. One day I’ll blink and I’m suddenly graduating with my Masters and have a job or something

prime_number_314159, do gaming w Haven't we forgotten someone?

Charmeleon is not as cute as charmander, and not as powerful looking as charizard, so it’s second place in the things that matter for merch interest.

technomad, do games w Day 365 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing (One Year Anniversary!)

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 :)

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I’m excited to continue. I’ve had a few ideas, I’m just not sure how to implement them

Okay, yeah, you are hitting me right in the feels with the nostalgia. The Pokémon trading game was my jam growing up! I conned more than a few 6 year olds out of their holographic mew and Charizard cards by convincing them my cards were rarer…im not proud of it…well, maybe a little.

Edit: Okay, chill ya’ll I did this like once when I was 11. The whole coment was a joke. Do you really think im actually proud of something dumb I did almost 25 years ago? Really think about that for a second. And if you answer yes, this dude is actually proud of that, then your social skills aren’t that great.

ech,

im not proud of it…well, maybe a little.

I stopped finding those cards fun because of someone like you. Gross to be proud of doing that to somebody.

NocturnalMorning, (edited )

I was like 11, and it was mostly a joke, chill man. We weren’t allowed to trade Pokémon cards anymore after than. And also, people did it to me, which is the only reason I did it to someone else.

ech, (edited )

Are you still 11? Cause current you is the one bragging about it. And continuing the cycle of shitiness does fuck all to justify it. If you really regretted it, you could actually show remorse instead of making a “joke” about all the kids you scammed and making endless excuses about it.

NocturnalMorning, (edited )

It was one time, like 24 years ago dude… and it was like two kids. Like, damn man, whatever happened to you must have really scarred you to be arguing with a stranger on the internet over it.

ech,

Yeah, I must be emotionally damaged to be bothered by people bragging about being shitty to others 🙄

Keep making excuses. It doesn’t change anything.

NocturnalMorning,

I mean yeah, you took a very clear joke and are berating me over it… whatever this is, it’s about you dude, not me.

ech,

Turns out you don’t get to normalize being shitty without rebuke.

NocturnalMorning, (edited )

Dude, why are you still going? Seriously…

Are you for really trying to tell me that something i did when I was 11 is some moral failing of mine? Gtfo of here with that shit. If you keep this up imma just block you.

ech,

I’m saying what you’re doing currently is a problem. And I’m “still going” because you’re still attempting to normalize it and you keep trying to paint me as mentally damaged because I dare to point that out.

NocturnalMorning,

Okay, blocked. This was fun, let’s do it again sometime.

Undaunted,
@Undaunted@feddit.org avatar

Dude, it’s frickin trading card game! It’s not that their proud of punching someone in the face. Stop being so salty about it.

ech,

It’s almost like it’s not about the card game. Hmmm…
