The remake basically added the QoL features etc we have now for farm/life sim games

Harvest Moon 64 created many of the original character personalities and story beats. Back to Nature reused those characters but redesigned them and placed them in Mineral Town. Friends of Mineral Town then rebuilt Back to Nature’s world and systems for handheld and improved them.

For #MAR10Day today, my first Mario memory is playing Super Mario World on the SNES. That game defined platformers for me growing up. 🍄

Unpopular opinion maybe: Stardew Valley is great, but it never gave me the same vibe as Harvest Moon 64 or Back to Nature. Something about those older games feels different.

PlayStation game case for Harvest Moon: Back to Nature. Cover shows a cartoon farmer with a pitchfork, cow, sheep, chicken, and dog in front of a farm on a green background.

Playing Harvest Moon: Back to Nature again feels surreal. It’s clunky and dated by today’s standards, but Mineral Town still has that charm that made farming sims magical in the first place.

I will get ASMR video recs someone applying makeup to a real person or they are applying it to like themselves etc.

The closest I ever got to skincare stuff was as a teen with acne when the Proactiv craze was a thing.

I didn’t grow up wearing or wanting to wear makeup. Not because my parents discouraged it, I just never really got into it.

It makes me wonder how many people had the same experience.

let my gf watch YouTube on my account once and now my recommendations are 95% skincare and makeup. The algorithm said “ah yes beauty influencer!"

having a chronic illness means that i don't have the luxury of waiting until i 'feel better' to live my life

True, but sometimes I can't get out of bed.

They're super old and I know they didn't age well but they were entertaining to young Minae here. Spent HOURS playing them even if at the time had no idea wtf I was doing.

Sorry guys, I am sick and typo'd the hashtag... Oooops

Shingo Izumi: At this time, there are no plans to do so. However, as mentioned in a prior response, when we consider new collection projects in the future, a Mega Man Legends collection would also be one of the possible candidates.

PlayStation PAL cover of Harvest Moon: Back to Nature. A smiling farmer in a blue cap holds a pitchfork standing in a bright green field. A black and white cow, a pink pig, and a small brown dog gather around him. The title “Harvest Moon: Back to Nature” appears in large wooden style lettering at the top. PlayStation branding runs along the bottom with the PAL logo in the corner.

I wish I had a big enough following cause I'd so wanna interview those who worked on my childhood favorite games like the older Harvest Moon titles in general. That series means a lot to me as much as Sailor Moon does.

Wow, real shitty.

A wide lineup of chibi style characters from Harvest Moon: Magical Melody standing against a bright blue background. The characters have oversized heads and small bodies with varied hairstyles, outfits, and expressions. Farmers, villagers, elders, children, and townsfolk are arranged in several rows wearing colorful clothing such as overalls, dresses, hats, aprons, uniforms, and seasonal outfits. The overall style is cute and cartoonish with bold outlines and pastel colors.

Gameplay screenshot from Harvest Moon: Magical Melody showing chibi style characters standing on a grassy cliff at night. A purple haired character is wearing a straw hat and scarf and looks angry with a red comic style anger symbol above their head. A dialogue box shows the name as Jamie and reads: “Stop bugging me! I don’t wanna hang out with you guys!” The player character and two small Harvest Sprites stand nearby facing her. The scene is lit against a dark background, emphasizing the tense interaction.

I do worry if they ever did a remake of Harvest Moon Magical Melody people would complain about it being chibi when even the OG game was chibi style.

Maybe just me worrying though!

Screenshot of an anime image featuring Minako Aino, a blonde girl with a red bow and large blue eyes holding a piece of paper. The paper reads: “If seeing a Page post something anti-ICE prompts you to complain about seeing ‘politics’ in that space, this isn’t the place for you. We care about humans here.” The background is a simple indoor scene.

Just a reminder

I watched the episodes properly. I noticed that they did rush through it which I don't mind. I think it was overall decent as a parody project though!

I also think part of why DBZA never made it through Buu was the ongoing copyright trouble and strikes from Toei on YouTube plus how exhausting a project that was for the team. After that, TFS started doing shorter projects and other content instead of one huge abridged series it seems.

Parody works best when people already know the source. My concern is less about the abridged itself and more about how often parody becomes someone’s first and only exposure to a series like this.

Manga cover for Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, volume 1. Sailor Moon, a blonde teenage girl with twin buns and very long flowing pigtails, smiles brightly while posing in front of a large glowing yellow moon. She wears a white sailor uniform with a blue collar and skirt, a red bow on her chest, white gloves, and red knee-high boots. She holds a crescent-shaped wand raised near her head, with her other arm bent at her side. The background is a pink to orange gradient with sparkles. Japanese title text appears at the top, “Kodansha Comics” is printed above it, and the number 1 is shown for the volume. The author’s name, Naoko Takeuchi, appears in Japanese at the bottom.

I know abridged series are meant to be parody, but I really hope TeamFourStar doesn’t continue their Sailor Moon abridged. I don’t want it becoming the default lens people use to understand a series that’s a lot more sincere and emotionally rich.

Close up of Final Fantasy 9 PS1 gameplay with back view of Alexandrian Soldier.

We don't talk enough about polygonal PS1 butts on this app.

Oh yeah that is hilarious and loved watching it growing up too!

It feels like Astro Boy and Speed Racer don’t get enough credit for opening the door for anime outside Japan. Peter Fernandez’s English dub work on Speed Racer in particular did so much to make it stick with Western audiences.

Back in the 90's and even into the 2000's I feel like a lot of people involved didn't think Sailor Moon or anime in general would take off at all and have an international fanbase. The DIC/Cloverway dub is a big product of it's time for sure.
