MoreZombies, do games w Steam Machine is huge for indie development

I remember this same discussion point when Valve released the first Steam Machines ten years ago.

Mark it up as an advantage of getting old. You get to sit and eat popcorn while people debate issues you’ve already debated.

I still want to buy one, mind you.

MoreZombies,

Same!

In particular though, I loved my old Steam Controller, and hope this new one compares.
I’d still be using one now if they weren’t all bought by asshole scalpers and marked up 6000%..

ryathal,

The big difference is the compatibility is actually there now. Also, controller support is a lot more common for PC games now.

Oh man, I booted it up like a month ago, I’ve just been too distracted with paradox games to finish lol. Yeah even way back when it came out I was hype to see the series ‘evolve’. Shame it didn’t go the way we wanted

That’s how I am with my grounded run of The Last of Us 2 and finishing Silent Hill f. I started a game of Stellaris and haven’t picked them back up in my free time.

The evolution was disappointing. I didn’t really care for origins but was happy others were enjoying it, and then the ball just got dropped

Yup I’ve been waiting way too long for eu5 and china in ck, not bad so far.

I played and beat world with my dad on a rented Super Famicom before Super Nintendo came out.

We didn’t have an instruction booklet and all the tutorial stuff that came up was in Japanese so we went the entire game without knowing you could throw shells upwards. So when we got to Bowser at the end we thought you had to be able to fly so you could dive-bomb the motherfucker. Took us so many tries getting there with a cape and a backup before we eventually each got it. Man, did I feel dumb when SNES came out and I learned the truth, but also a perverse pride, like being one of the few people to beat something before it gets nerfed.

Not really related but this made me think of that for the first time in years.

The main character is a City Mouse?

Oh that is far too woke! It must be the work of some shadowy and nefarious game butchering group!

These dorks need to get a hobby.

I heard there’s a genre of video games that is all about being relaxed and cozy. Maybe they should those a try?

SMW, easily. Being able to freely use the map to play levels at will and unlock secrets still hasn’t been matched by any other 2D Mario game.

Graphics and music-wise, it’s fair to use the SNES version as a comparison, so that’s mostly a wash.

Did you design the interface? I like it a lot; it’s really elegant

TheFunkyMonk,

Thanks! TRMNL has a UI framework, and I wanted it to look like it fit within the ecosystem, so I just looked at a bunch of plugins and imitated what I thought would work with the data I wanted to show. Mine’s probably the most similar to the Weather plugin.

I have played and beaten both games too often to count, and while they’re both excellent the way Mario controls in SMW always throws me off for the first couple of minutes. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but SMB3 just feels better, more weighty I guess.

OneWomanCreamTeam, do gaming w Don't make me choose!

Super Mario world is obviythe better game because that’s the one I have more nostalgia for.

Love these posts! A small suggestion: could you add the title of the game in the post title too in the future? :)

@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

But that would change the format of the title! And while it has evolved over the time, that would feel so weird!

Also, it’s sometimes fun to see the featured picture and guess what the game is 😀

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I did actually do that for some posts, but people like to guess the game so i stopped doing that. The middle ground i reached was just putting the game in the first sentence (and if i remember bolding it too)

I’d pick SMB3 on the SNES/GBA vs. NES over SMW.

@ivanafterall@lemmy.world avatar

Huh? Those are things?

@M1ch431@slrpnk.net avatar

Yeah, essentially SMB3 for the NES was remastered in Super Mario All-Stars for the SNES. It was later ported to the GBA under the title Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3.

The graphics are much better in the ports, but the soundtrack doesn’t quite hit the same when compared to the NES version. The physics are also different in the All-Stars/SMA4 versions and some people prefer the NES version’s physics.

On a related note, there are some cool ROM hacks based off the NES SMB3 engine - Mario Adventure 3 released the other year and is a blast:

I’m gonna go apparently against the grain and agree with OP. Choosing is hard. Both amazing games.

happydoors, (edited ) do games w What personal dramas have you witnessed with/among your fellow players while gaming?

Not exactly drama but… In 2020, Verizon fucked up and kept me out of my new phone and I spent literally 20 hours on customer support (on my gf’s phone) and going to stores to try and fix it. They ended up throwing me a bone and I had a $300 Verizon store coupon. Free oculus quest ?

Trying out the online community apps was intense. Upon popping into any Meta-ran space you would be flooded by children squeaking the most vile shit at each other. Occasionally there would be an older voice saying bad words to the children and laughing as they scream. What an awful place. But in other games like VRchat, there could be cool moments, too. Like an old Australian man moderating a conversation with a very international and diverse crowd around a campfire. Sure it’s cartoony and you can experience wide conversations on the web but it’s another thing to have proximity chat with stereoscopic vision. It feels like an actual “memory.” That was all terrifying and I have really touched the device in four years.

What a great idea!

Why choose when you’re an All Star, baby!

Edit: oh right. Only one version of All Stars included SMW, hehe
