Jeff Buckley was better tbh

Tim, his father also made great music. For example https://www.allmusic.com/album/tim-buckley-mw0000611479

In one shitty 3D platformer game I just fell through the ground, lol.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 36 points 1 day ago

It's not just one game.

I still do this, and it regularly reaps benefits.

Sonic 1 for Master System...Bridge Zone, act 3...

[–] myrrh@ttrpg.network 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

...i've always considered that a game gear title first, even though both formats were released nearly simultaneously...

[–] spirinolas@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I was going to tell you were wrong but decided to make sure before making a fool of myself. It was the right call, eheh.

The game was developed specifically for the Game Gear and that was the first version to be developed though the Master System version was the first to be released.

[–] myrrh@ttrpg.network 1 points 7 hours ago

...i'm pretty sure the only difference between versions is the physical cartridge format; the software is identical and there are adaptors available for both platforms...

That's what's bugging me about Ready Player One the most. You can't tell me it took YEARS for gamers to figure out the secret about the racing track.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The secret that took years to solve was more obscure than just a special jump in a race in the book.

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Yeah the movie really didn't do the book much justice. The message was the same, but the movie completely undermined itself. Saying 'Real life is more important than the digital world because it's where real connections and food is.' doesn't hit as hard when it's the very fact that it was Wade's obsession with the digital world and having encyclopedic knowledge of Halliday that allowed him to win. The book is still clunky but it's Wade's actions in the real world that really set's him apart from the sixers and gunters.

This is the exact same instinct that drives us to run away from the obvious path first. "Clearly that's where the final boss is. Let me just check what's down this way first..."

"...oh no wait, there's a point-of-no-return ledge here. Ok, so maybe that other way was actually where the secret was. I'll go back..."

"...hmm, there's another ledge on this side too. Let me just put in a save point and...ok, yeah, this one is the final boss. Let me reload and check the other path..."

"...ugh, it restarted me way back here? And respawned all the enemies when I reloaded? That's frustrating..."

"...THEY BOTH. LED. TO THE SAME. EXACT. PLACE."

This is why I have 120 hours in 40 hour games.

That's why I find idea that no gamer in Ready Player One tried running a car backward offensive.

Its like, people rub against every square inch of geometry in say, Destiny 2, just to get out of bounds. It's insane that no one just...tried cause they're bored even.

Bum Tickley is still going after all this time?

In Serious Sam there was a secret you could only reach by starting running backwards while the level was still loading

[–] LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

There's also the one in the very first map, where you have to run for several minutes out into the desert behind you. You find a rocket launcher and a health powerup... which immediately spawns a whole bunch of monsters

Fun times!

[–] Inkstainthebat@pawb.social 1 points 15 hours ago

Serious Sam mentioned!!!

If I recall, DKC also had a secret INSIDE a secret.

I was following a strategy guide to get the last bits of secret and that one was a pain in the buttholes.
