I got back into it about a month ago, picking up from where I left off in 2019. I'm playing the stories and maps in chronological order, and because there's loads of incentives to go do stuff or collect things in older maps, there's been people around the entire time. People have been super-duper helpful to me anytime I mention that I'm a returning player. Lovely game, lovely community.

I introduced a friend to Earthbound and we played it together on the SNES app. It was nice because I could watch them play and point my cursor to things, and even take the controls from time to time. It's not a bad way to play games but I have better options for playing retro alone.

ThorHighHeels' videos have a relaxed, positive vibe that I always enjoy. He usually covers lesser known games from the mid 2000's and his appreciation of visual design, music, and aesthetics really resonates with me. My favorite video of his is the one on Mysterious GBA Games.

Thank you. I used waifu2x to upscale the best image I could find online, then spent hours in GIMP cleaning it up manually. I'd assume AI upscalers could save a bunch of time but I did this just for fun anyway 🙂

I've been using NewPipe exclusively for about 4 years now and I'm very, very happy with it. I take background audio playback, downloading, adblocking, sponsorblocking et.c. for granted now and often forget how crippled the vanilla YouTube experience is.

they remind me of the Undertale shopkeepers! very detailed closeups, whereas the game itself has a much simpler style

Yeah, there's a lot of them, but they're usually in self-contained trilogies that aren't related to the others. I've only played Ryza 1 & 2, and plan on getting the last one later this year!

Wow haha you just resurfaced memories I didn't know I had.

I'm too young and missed out on its release, but I've played some P99 and man EverQuest must have been an absolutely magical experience in 1999.

I really, really hate this trend of not localizing titles that presumably sound cool in Japanese, but are just like ??? in English. Various Daylife is the worst offender I've seen so far 💀

Automaton Lung is fantastic. It came out right at the tail-end of the eShop's life.
