My PC isn’t anything special. I was cheap about the case (if i had my way though i wanted to put it in a old Beige PC case). Specwise it’s a Ryzen 7 3700x, 32 GB of DDR4 RAM, and a Radeon RX 7600 XT. It’s enough to run most modern games on Medium without breaking the bank.
I think in total it cost me around 900$? I remember i got the CPU really cheap (one of the pins were bent and i had to straighten it out) and the GPU i got a good deal on too.
That’s my suggested way of playing the games (unless you’re looking to try and get closer too the original hardware with filters and stuff). The QOL features really make it worth it
Ooh, yeah, now that you mention it those are two other consoles i try to avoid emulating. I have a 3DS i still use regularly, but man, it does suck that there’s no comfortable way to play the DS/3DS games emulated on a PC
The QOL are definitely what makes it worth it. The only console I prefer OG hardware is probably the Wii and N64, and only because there’s not really a uniform way to capture the controls. Even then, there’s adapters for both controllers (I just don’t have any) and for N64 most games you can work around the controls in some capacity with only a little jank
Ooh, that is an interesting idea. Isn’t 8’s version of the map a little different? Maybe after 21 years, at some point the expansion is finished and that’s actually what we’re driving on
I do actually own original hardware, it’s a bit of a headache to setup though so I really only use it for situations where I feel like its controls are really needed or just special occasions. So usually I emulate.
I chose Lemmy because I liked how small the community was if that makes any sense? Like, I won’t complain if it gets bigger, but there’s something nice about refreshing the page a few hours later and instead of getting an onslaught of new posts to consume, it’s just a few new posts stacked on top of the old ones from before.
I guess if I had to summarize it, Lemmy feels a lot less like it’s trying to shove content down my throat which I appreciate. It makes interactions a bit rarer for me, but also makes them feel a bit more authentic
Doing these screenshots definitely has helped to give me a clear goal when completing games. Before i used to bounce around my backlog and not finish anything. Hell, i still do it from time to time lol
I really struggle to remember weaknesses and tips. I just figured out at least that I don’t need to cast Assess every time, I can just hit select which makes things far easier
I borrowed the original from my local library but had to send it back during Chapter 7. A few Steam sales ago though I picked it up again because I really enjoyed it
I love seeing this guy talk about the most mundane things. It’s cool to see someone look at something mundane and go “I wonder where this leads” and follow it.
I’m not big on any sort of full fledged ATB, which is the reason i play the remake over the original. But from what i’ve seen the original is still highly praised and worth going back too. I’d agree and sat give it a go, worst that can happen is you try it and go “Nope, i don’t think this is for me”.
I ended up going to google it for the original and found out it was a common enemy. It just so outlandish i wanted to know what the original context was. It is interesting to know it was always kind of out of place though
