Don't sleep on Retroachievements, big competition coming to beehaw & RA soon (docs.retroachievements.org) angielski

What’s retroachievements? Basically it adds XBOX Live style achievements and global high score tables to retro emulation platforms. This added layer of social gaming and community driven accomplishment hunting really builds on the retro games emulation experience. The best part is you can get it running on pretty much any...

It’s a great website. I used it a couple years ago as an excuse to finally play the predecessor to the first castlevania game I played as a child.

Oh, I played through Dawn as a kid multiple times. It’s great. It’s what made me play Aria in the first place.

I’ve tried Bloodstained, but another game release got in the way. Definitely need to give it another go.

Thanks for the recommendations, I’ll check them out.

I used RetroArch when I played Aria. Works, has support for Retroachievements built in, is cross platform, and I even got it to where I could save on mobile and have it sync to my PC and vice versa, but I don’t like the interface. I even got to the point where I could theoretically sync the saves to my modded 3DS, but only manually.

They can, but just like real bees they lose their stinger when they do and die shortly thereafter.

I had heard about the project but thought: What is my data gonna accomplish? I didn’t really play anything outside the Pokémon games, which they probably have thousands of duplicates of.

The very last section is what got me. Cause there were like 1-2 games I’ve never seen anyone else play that I did play and after reading that it only takes a couple minutes, if your system is modded, I took my two modded 3DS’ and send my data.

Even if there’s nothing new in there, this is a worthy cause.

I remember trying to play those (and failing miserably because I of how young I was). Maybe I should give them another go.

You might want to give the “The Room” series a shot. It starts out as just a digital puzzle box, but gets more involved as the series goes on and explores lovecraftian themes. There are monsters, but they’re set pieces or serve to further the story and typically only show up for a couple seconds or so in cutscenes. I personally dislike horror games, mostly because of jumpscares, and I’m completely fine with these games.

There are versions for iOS, Android, Windows, Switch and even a VR one, that is really well made. I would personally recommend the Steam versions, because they are a lot more detailed.
