That's funny, I've actually been playing through it for the first time recently. I played NEO 2 years ago and loved that, and I definitely love the og game too.

Really cool and creative game, both from gameplay and story. And mate, the music, its fucking art. Like the rest of both games, yeah.

Oh I just saw that sale, that's pretty cheap. Have fun with your light as well!

Just 10$? That sounds almost too good to be true. Are they of the same quality?

What do you mean with better batteries? Just ones that are of higher quality than the supplied one?

A light like this does seem useful for power outages and the likes. I don't have a backup bag or anything, but now that you're talking about it, I probably should. Maybe not for 72h, but something smaller can't hurt. I guess I'll start looking for some other equipment that could be of use.

And yes, the lowest setting is really good. According to the manual, it can last for almost 21 days. And it's definitely useable at that brightness, too.

Nice to hear that yours still works after 2 years. This thing feels really nice, I hope it will last for decades to come. The battery should indeed never be an issue.

Yeah it looks pretty nice. More or less at least. I would have gone with the green version, but I just couldn't pass this one up. Just look at it!

It is also rather small, yes. Really a great light for my next adventures.

What a coincidence. Just yesterday I saw a video about how Mario Galaxy works from a technical perspective, and water was one of the topics.

As it turns out, the water effect was done by manipulating the floor texture with a noise pattern to make it squiggly, and then putting a transparent layer above. It looks pretty good and doesn't need much processing power.

I just thought that was interesting.

Pokémon, actually. Just a month ago I wanted to play Soul Silver. But man, it is tedious. There's so much slow dialog, long animations, and little inconveniences everywhere (even in the menus). And I feel like you also have to grind to progress, which I absolutely hate in games (but maybe I also just didn't play well enough, whatever). So yeah, quite disappointed with it since I remember the 3DS games being quite fun.

Flashlights are an interesting one. I somehow ended up in !flashlight@lemmy.world and it's definitely a unique hobby. I'm not sure if I'm willing to really join all of you yet, but reading the posts can be pretty cool.

For me, it's probably CRTs, other display technologies and old hardware in general. It's fun to tinker around with stuff. And playing games, be it new or old, on CRTs is what I live for.

Ever heard of the Trine series? 5 games by now (can only speak about the first 4 though), and they are really fun together. Basically 2d puzzle games with 3 different characters that all have their own abilities, which leads to many different ways to solve puzzles. Highly recommended.

Lemmino on Youtube made a high quality video about the incident. Highly recommend that.

Not to many options out there, probably
