I'm having mixed feelings on Pokรฉmon Scarlet ๐Ÿ˜„

I'm enjoying it, but it feels like such a break from the format I know and love.

I think ultimately I'll love it (I've never hated any mainline Pokรฉmon game) but it is so open and overwhelming out the gate.

That said, I loved Sword/Shield a LOT

I don't understand the goal of the AFKs

Are they just having a tantrum or is it an exp exploit?

I'm hopeful for the new battle stances ๐Ÿ˜„

More variety to matchmaking to have like-minded play intentions without needing external resources is always welcome.

That first game and accompanying TV show are dearly treasured memories for me.

What a disappointing fuckstick he is

Oh, that Raccoon is still a crook ๐Ÿ˜„

But I just don't think the flowers die anymore? That's kinda nice, I think. It could get stressful forcing yourself to log in for that.

You can still trample them if you're not careful, though.

I did that with the original and the DS versions ๐Ÿ˜† not quite 8 years, but definitely years...

I'm shocked at how lenient New Horizons is. All my villagers are still here and the flowers aren't dead!

There are weeds, but not to the extent that its predecessors would've had.

I'm slightly lost, though old instincts are kicking in.

My island still looks cute, but it's so weird... I was wandering around tidying and being like "OMG, I did this?"

I can't believe the effort I put in before.
I was just being curious, but I want to stay.

It's very basic, but it was wonderful for the time and honestly kind of holds up pretty well today ๐Ÿ˜„

I loved SC3K as well.

If you ever get a chance to play that original one, go for it.

Congrats homie!

I really need to go back and finish that one, too.

I've been spoiler ducking and focused on actually getting through my own backlog and I miss you ๐Ÿ’™

They're probably like "well it's 'suggestive' so I'm not unflagging it" while missing the fact that there are clear context clues in your posts.

Asides from that, seeing skin or cleavage on women and deciding it's "sexually suggestive" by default is beyond messed up.

Funnily enough, I feel that way about another game with Sim in the name ๐Ÿ˜Œ

Sim City (1991) on SNES

That 16 bit soundtrack is unbelievably cozy and relaxing.

This one looks like it keeps up to date.

It's small right now, but you can always type specific football related things into feeds and there's usually a curated over you can pin and check.

Bluesky gets less quiet/random when we leave the discover tab.

You just gotta follow and engage with more English Premier League accounts and maybe find a custom feed dedicated to it.

Every other day I'm seeing English football matches trending in the top 5 on Bsky and I don't even follow anything soccer related at all.

Hashtags also function here.

Right?

If you were staying to "go down with the ship" it sank a long time ago and you're just clinging to wet driftwood.

The lifeboats are for premium voyagers and they're all packed with gaslit passengers that will never, ever consider your viewpoint.

You're lying to yourself to stay dry.

It's cool that you're collecting CIB now. Most people I knew had a chipped PSX. I was tempted at the time, too.

I'd like to say that it was a moral stance, but it wasn't ๐Ÿ˜†

I just liked having the complete and official physical media and knew I'd never finish most games with such easy access.

One of the reasons I love your posts is the memory triggers.

For a moment, I can take a break and feel what I felt back then and I remember associated memories that I thought were lost.

Even if it's just little things like what posters were in my room when I first booted up a disc. I

a screen with two faces and the words ptt memory on it Alt: a screen with two faces and the words "ptt" and "memory" on it It's the codec communication screen from 1998's Metal Gear Solid, featuring the frequency 140.15 that you'd "find on the back of the CD case"

I'll never forget opening that little cardboard square and seeing a tiny "trainer's manual" inside.

It was one I'd read again and again even after playing.

Definitely in my top 5 "Manuals that got me hyped" along with SMB3, FF7 and Metal Gear Solid

I'd been wanting Pokรฉmon for a few years since I'd seen it in a magazine as a strange little GB game in development known only as "Pocket Monsters" at the time.

Mom took me to get it on day 1.

This little manual was so creative and exciting that the 20 minute ride home felt like hours

๐Ÿ˜ THAT manual!

For gamers around my age, this is something I miss about physical games

Buying/renting was an experience.
The ride home just browsing the manual to take the edge off of the high ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Pokรฉmon R/B is one that always comes to mind as one of the most creative and fun manuals.

BlueSky is an Ecco chamber ๐Ÿฌ

Go hit up Proto and see how absolutely unhinged this classic dolphin swimmy game can be.

I try to keep my own politics to a minimum and try to find what light and normalcy I can, but this needs to be said

This is a hard line
There's no "two sides" on this issue and there never will be

As such, let me echo the sentiment and ask that you see yourself out if you support this gestapo
