  • Had it for a few years now, still playing it, on the bus and such. Including DS games, and maybe even some of GBA library, I’m not even halfway through my backlog for it. The favourites would be all the main Etrian Odyssey games but there’s so much other good ones. Radiant Historia is budget but has some cool ideas, Fire Emblem (besides Awakening, I actually disliked it more than Birthright, didn’t play Revelation yet), all of the Shin Megami Tensei games… and I’d add Kid Icarus or Mario 3D Land so it’s not just JRPGs.






  • 3DS.

    Though I didn’t have many - GBA, Wii, 3DS, and now Steam Deck. The Deck is much better in a vacuum, but the 3DS just offers an experience you couldn’t get via emulation or ports. Even if it’s just the dual screen, it looks better as seperate physical screens than what emulators do on single display devices.

    With the Deck, I just got it as an alternative to buying a new gaming laptop. Years from now, I’ll be able to replace my SD with another Steam, or even non-Steam handheld PC, but once I lose my 3DS and functioning second-hand ones run out too, that experience is gone, and even 3rd party emulation machines will probably lack features.

    …does tea count? Or sugar? Jerking off and video games are enough for me.

    My only real problem now seems to be finding a relationship, so life’s great.

    I also have zero interest in those drugs though. Coffee tasted bitter. Alcohol tastes bad, and when I got tipsy once I just felt mild inconvenience walking, I think. Smoking smells bad. Never saw weed with my own eyes. A friend had me try yerba mate telling me it’d give me a kick like coffee, especially if I never tried it, but I just didn’t feel anything special.







  • You know, the weird part is? I got two followers, and one of them was a guy I messaged earlier when asking if he’d post his content elsewhere. (I mentioned lemmy as an option) Well, the profile was different - instead of being “XXX YYY”, the one that followed me was “Alternate YYY”, so I assumed it was an alt. He didn’t message me back on the old nor this account, and when I tried to visit it said “this account name doesn’t exist”. He keeps posting and is probably neutral about this whole thing, but it’s just, odd why he’d use an alt right then and then delete it or have it banned (maybe he promoted lemmy or protested on it, idk, I brought up lemmy in a post title on a smaller sub but it got banned by “the mods of r/sub”. My account is fine tho)


  • The closest is Ghost Trick I guess? But frankly while being another masterpiece, it didn’t stick THAT much more than the others, after a month or two even the 10/10 games come to mind only if I think of a related topic.

    The most influencial would be Etrian Odyssey IV since it got me into giving JRPGs another go, after years of not being impressed by any of the classics (Final Fantasy 4-5, 6 kept my attention until the endgame, Golden Sun…), and now I basically beat them (mostly Atlus’ so far) on a bimonthly basis. I guess EO in general sticks the best, but it’s hard to label one game since I quickly went and started playing all of them.


  • Indie games in general have great OSTs, MGS:R and Persona (and SMT in general) are obvious popular picks.

    The World Ends With You is less mainstream (with one of the few gripes being the lack of boss-specific themes, at least in the DS original I played - but it makes up with the diverse overworld and normal battle themes), as is Etrian Odyssey.

    I think orchestra is mixed, it’s either the best fucking tracks ever (often when mixed with electric guitar, but not necessarily), or they kind of blend with other orchestral tracks I know and don’t end up being unique enough to remember.




  • From a brief look on the misinformation section and FAQ, it doesn’t mention those GPU crashes @kadu mentioned, which is what I wanted (unless it’s deeper the video, but the FAQ has a question if it harms the Deck, unless there’s just no irreversible damage). Though since the burden of proof is on him, if I don’t find other complaints the next time I decide to install anything, I’ll try it.
