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%..
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
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.
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.
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)
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:
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 #worthit?
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.
