CitizenKong,

I mean, Cosmic Ghost Rider is also a thing. Although he’s actually the Punisher with the power of the Ghost Rider and also the power of a herald of Galactus.

If your horror game doesn’t do this, it loses points in my eyes. I want a final chapter that makes me think “Damn, he really is The Evil Within™”

Renacles,

The Evil Within was so close, they called it An Evil Within instead.

rickyrigatoni,

That was a hint at a sequel, since An implies more than one.

What’s the reference for people who know the Mario reference but stopped playing games later in life and don’t get the Zelda reference?

(also, consider the Eowyn reference, with aragorn+stew)

Muscar,

What? Zelda and Mario have coexisted since 1986… The first game for each was only released a year apart (the first Mario game came out in 1985, first Zelda game in 1986). The Mario reference in this is from Super Mario 64, which was released in 1996. I don’t think there’s any specific Zelda game being referenced.

Everything you’ve said barely makes any sense. And there’s no LotR reference, you can’t just say “uuuh, they eat food in this too!!” and say that’s a reference.

Your whole comment is like a fever dream.

synae, (edited )
@synae@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Damn, why so hostile?

The root question of my comment is, why is Zelda’s saying her cake is bad vs Peach’s whose is delicious? I had to assume it’s from some newer iteration of the Zelda franchise that I’m not familiar with since the image of her appears newer than Mario 64. So if someone (me) did play Mario 64 and understood that reference, but doesn’t know the newer Zelda entries then this doesn’t entirely come together for that person (me again).

Then my mind jumped to- assuming that there is some zelda-franchise lore about her making a shitty cake, well, here is another franchise with another female character offering food to a male character with humorous undertones, and that could be used to riff on this meme that OP (or whoever) could make. “Dear Aragorn, Please come to Helm’s Deep. I’ve made a delicious stew for you. Yours truly, Eowyn” etc. Not really a stretch unless you’re artificially limiting yourself to nintendo franchises.

I may have been a bit buzzed when I posted my previous comment but I really don’t think its incoherent enough to be raked over the coals for.

Thrickles,

Yeah, this version was shared in April. No source provided, unfortunately.

Ok, so I found a novelty account on X/Twitter (“Quest 64 Official”) that has been spreading Quest 64 memes and think it’s hilarious, so I’ve been reposting them to Lemmy.

(There will almost certainly be more)

I like to think I’m immune to anything people could post from my time on the early days of the internet, but yeah, it’s like a sea of totally unfiltered opinions/content over there. There are still a lot of good fandoms, memes, news, etc., but you have to also scroll through conspiracies, political astroturfing, and every hateful thought that someone decided to write today.

Fortunately it’s not the only place I casually scour for content for the fediverse.

Transporter_Room_3, do gaming w M for Mature
@Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website avatar

Taking a look at my installed games list, my dream is self-sustainable communities, building an off-grid homestead, and a world where everyone’s basic needs are provided for.

It’s all building games and I like ones where you can build a small settlement with multiple people assisting in various aspects.

My only gripe with city builders is they focus too heavily on forcing US views instead of real-world examples (walkable cities aren’t viable, lack of dedicating 90% of areas to cars is penalized, zoning bs, etc)

kemsat,

Farthest Frontier is my newest addition from that genre

SeekPie,

Any recommendations/favourites?

Transporter_Room_3,
@Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website avatar

I like mucking about in Cities Skylines with mods, that’s basically my goto when I don’t feel like playing anything else.

Right now since I got a new pc and it’s on sale, I’ve been playing fallout 4 with a bunch of settlement building mods installed. Probably not gonna be on this much longer.

Next I think I’ll give Ixion a try.

Here’s a few I spent some time on in no particular order, ranging from top-down style city management to first person settler type:

Banished

Factorio & Satisfactory

Caesar 3/Pharoah

Frostpunk

Surviving Mars

Subnautica

Medieval Dynasty

Against the storm (never could get into it, might have to give it another try)

Timberborn (didn’t get to play much, it’s on my list)

Dyson Sphere Program <— keep coming back to this one too especially now that my computer can go above 10fps

I love fallout’s settlement system, and specifically the mod Sim Settlements. I also like the idea of making a homestead for many people to live in and work together. Not many games that allow both group survival and independent building. Most that I’ve tried are like State of Decay, which is fun, but I don’t like the buildings being on rails. I like getting creative even if that means things get sloppy and disorganized.

My factory builders tend to utilize a lot of point-point logistics if available, otherwise it’s a spaghettified mess of conveyor belts and pipes. The kind that make experienced players cry and flee in terror. But they’re mine.

I’m also looking forward to seeing how good Manor Lords will be. If it looks good after a few days it’ll make a nice birthday present to myself.

If my game preference determines how I want the world to be: I must want the world to be a fucked up, cursed wasteland where everything is in a state of constant suffering, and the best outcome is killing everyone so they at least stop suffering.

I’ll let y’all figure out what kind of games I play.

Transporter_Room_3,
@Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website avatar

Outside.

Or dark souls.

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

outside

Thinking about it, real life isn’t much different than Dark Souls. But I would like the IRL monsters to look better than just a poorly re-skinned default character.

Transporter_Room_3,
@Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website avatar

You know, I was thinking just that as I typed. “outside is kind of turning into dark souls but MORE depressing” but figured that might be pushing it. Glad to know I’m not alone.

aeronmelon, do gaming w Time to play some Ogre Battle 64

Last week, I beat Super Mario 64 for the first time in almost 30 years. 120 Stars, almost all of them from memory.

Even without any kind of remake, still so colorful and stylish. Still one of the best video games ever made.

(Rainbow Ride can still eat a dick. That level is dumb.)

The_Picard_Maneuver,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world avatar

I did that recently too! Although it was the version they recently released with Sunshine and Galaxy on the switch.

The game holds up.

It’s the movement. Just like Super Mario Bros. before it, Mario moves much more smoothly than characters in other contemporary games at the time.

I was always impressed by how creative the artwork made out of text were. Yeah, most were made by a program that converted pics to text, but that was automating something that was already being done and they had to pick and choose art that would convert clearly.

Yeah, people were surprisingly good at ASCII art back in the day.

@dohpaz42@lemmy.world avatar

I remember in the eighth grade (1990) taking a keyboarding class (old typewriters) and we would be given assignments to do holiday-themed (turkeys, Santa Claus, Easter bunny, etc) ascii art as projects around the holidays. We were given paper instructions that would guide us on how to type out each line and with what characters. It was actually pretty fun.

dellish, do astronomy w I want to be among those who deeply thoroughly understand & can accurately predict the path of future eclipses because this is amazing.

When I was a kid my parents bought me a book called “practical astronomy with your calculator” that went over all the workings and formulae for calculating eclipses, moon phases, locations of the planets and heaps more. If you want to get into it I highly recommend this book or something similar.

dellish,

BTW the book was by Peter Duffett-Smith if that helps.
