  The cow can supply the butter though, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A quarter of a century after its original release, Capcom’s legendary Breath of Fire IV returns to PC!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  BoF3 was always the peak of the series in my eyes and I would be all over a remaster.

  Yeah, DBeaver used to be unusable, but it is quite decent these days. I was really unhappy with Datagrip, so I decided to give it another try and I am glad I did.

  As far as this tool goes, I don’t love the idea of having my tools in the browser, so this won’t work for me, but it is a cool project nonetheless.

  Unsurprising, but still shitty. Par for the course for the company these days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to secure Jellyfin hosted over the internet?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is true, and is why I annoying have to keep robots.txt on my unpublished domains. Google does honor them for the most part, for now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Random: What Happens When You Remove Charles Barkley From His Own Video Game?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hah, I came to mention Gaiden as I love that game. You and the article are both correct for the most part, it definitely has story elements relating to Space Jam, not to mention Ghost Dad, and other seemingly random sources, but what you describe is probably the best quick summary of the setting.

  It sounds so ridiculous, and I suppose it is, but it was so well done and entertaining.

  The creator was working on the sequel for years and then kinda disappeared. It is probably for the best because I can’t see it living up to the hype of the weird fans like myself (and I can’t stand backetball!).

  I just want my grocery store to start playing JRPG OSTs. Buying vegetables while jaming to Chrono Trigger songs would be the best. Black Omen? More like beat Omen.

  Your ancestor probably pissed off a witch. My condolences

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This $80 wristwatch has an Atari 2600-inspired design, features 4 playable Atari games - Liliputing⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Four games and you decide to include Pong and it’s far superior successor Super Breakout? Moronic, there are tons of 2600 games that would have worked just as well on a watch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was your favorite shareware game?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Pinball Fantasies, Raptor, Heretic

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even as a collector, I've never laid my hands on one of these.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I knew someone in school that had a CD-i and I was excited to try out the Zelda game… I made a terrible mistake as did the people that made it. It’s probably still a cool collector’s item, but man it was bad.

  Four! lol, oh man, I bet they get awful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hate your job? how about you die and still have to do it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I had no idea there was a sequel. Based on what you say about it, I’ll try to fake believing that is still the case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You know what Mega Man needs? A gun and the face of a middle-aged smoker.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for reminding me that Megaman actually talked like that in the awful Saturday morning cartoon I watched as a kid (Captain N: The Game Master)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My old retro game cart (now defunct)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This looks great, but I also understand why you got rid of it. I had to do the same and gave away all of my retro systems and CRTs all the way back to my Atari 2600. It just took up too much space for how little it was being used so I wanted that stuff to be in the hands of someone that would hopefully enjoy it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which is better: F-Zero or Super Mario Kart (SNES)?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I never liked Mario Kart at all until a friend that had a multitap invited people over for 4 player battle mode. That was legitimately fun with no equivalent on any other SNES game. For pure racing, F-Zero in a heartbeat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨anyway, i started blastin'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, it made slightly more sense in the comics, though still batshit. In the comics there was no noble purpose like they tried to shoehorn in for the MCU. IIRC, Thanos was literally doing it to impressed Death (the cosmic entity) to gain her affection.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Three "Lost" Shining Force Games Have Been Preserved | Time Extension⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I had Shining Force Gaiden for the Game Gear and it was probably my most played game on the system. I wonder how different this version is, not that I’d remember it much at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Colin Anderson Calls GTA 2 the ‘Unsung Hero’ of the Franchise | Retro Gaming News 24/7⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  GTA 2 was fantastic, especially multiplayer over LAN on PC. It unseated a lot of our usual FPS or RTS games for a while as the game of choice.

  Then again, what do I know, I still think Zelda 2 was awesome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wednesday it is, my dudes.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve definitely heard some sort of frog/toad make the “ribbit” sound, but I’d say the German “kwaak” is probably more common. The various Asian sounds seem odd to me though. I suppose it is entirely possible the frogs makes different sounds there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you refrain from participating to a community if it's hosted on Lemmy.ml ?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s absolutely the defederating that worries me more than the blocking. I have seen talk about nontrivial lemmy instances mulling defederation enough to keep an eye on it though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you refrain from participating to a community if it's hosted on Lemmy.ml ?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Dbzero and programming.dev are already also high on my list, but thanks for the recommendation. I’m not in a super hurry to move or anything, I’ve never been given a hard time on ML, but I hate to think I’m slowly being edged out of the wider lemmy experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I lose the spread gun, I start over.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I love this, this has to be the best version of this meme I’ve ever seen.

  I personally won’t start over if I lose spread, but lose all my powerups in something like Gradius or Lifeforce and it probably isn’t worth it to keep going. It is the Konami way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you refrain from participating to a community if it's hosted on Lemmy.ml ?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have to say the responses in this thread are a bummer, but I’m not surprised. I signed up on lemmy.ml because when I read the descriptions of the various instances, ML’s “A community of privacy and FOSS enthusiasts” sounded pretty great and I saw a lot of technical communities that interested me. I didn’t expect the politics. I tried to make a new user on .world a few months back, but I seemed to get stuck in some sort of user verification limbo. Maybe I’ll try midwest.social since I moved to the midwest recently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I love diablo-likes, but they're also really annoying.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, I see where you’re going now, but I’m still not sure I agree with you here overall for the genre.

  I think the “add tactics” thing is already done to a degree in these games as early enemies in these games tend to be dead simple since players like likely still acclimating to the game, but I suspect that there is only so much you can do before you end up turning later enemies into some sort of frustrating puzzle. Diablo-likes, for better or worse, aren’t generally mind bending affairs, high skill ceiling affairs.

  There is definitely room in the genre for more tactical, skill dependent entries, but I not sure the end result would be as fun for most people as that would be a fundamentally different type game. Hey, maybe I am wrong and this would lead to some sort of souls-like Diablo game where skill and learning are all that matters and items and character building are far less important. Come to think of it, that sounds a lot like Hades in a way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I love diablo-likes, but they're also really annoying.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Your desire to dumb down diablo-likes is your own and I hate it. PoE and Grim Dawn are about the only games like this that I have truly enjoyed in a long time. Blizzard ruined Diablo and WoW with this bullshit take.
