TORFdot0 , to retrogaming in Game Club [July 2023 - Result : EarthBound] (c/retrogaming)

I emulated earthbound for the first time recently on my phone. I only own a repro cart because I wanted to actually play it before I bought it. I just dumped the ROM from that.

Anyways, I can’t believe I took so long to play it. I do not like JRPGs, don’t care for the SNES Final Fantasy or mystic quest.

But earthbound was great. It didn’t take itself too seriously at all during the story but still made you care about the characters. Any time the runaway five (of which there is six of them) appear, it’s an absolute treat. The game doesn’t really explain the mechanics well but it’s not overly complicated so you can beat the game without really needing to know what IQ, Guts, Speed or Luck really do.

The only thing that I didn’t like is that the game teaches you early on that Paula’s pray ability is basically a 50/50 shot of helping you or hurting you but then it’s required later on in the game. It took me awhile to figure out how to beat an important battle because of that. Though in hindsight it should have been obvious.

I want to play earthbound beginnings here pretty soon.

The only JRPG on the SNES that compares to earthbound is SMRPG imo

TORFdot0 , (edited ) to nostupidquestions in How did Lemmy.world become more popular than Lemmy.ml?

Lemmy.ml had sign ups closed. Behaw required a short story or something to get accepted. Lemmy.world was accepting sign-ups wasn’t hosted somewhere shady and had active communities. It was a pretty easy choice. Assuming the admins have a pledge drive or something to host on AWS/GCP so we can get better burst capabilities I’d love to donate.

TORFdot0 , to retrogaming in Phone controller for Portrait orientation

Thanks so much, I’ll go ahead and edit my comment to just reference you comment below

The SmartBoy is probably the closest thing to a gamevice/backbone/kishi that works in portrait mode. If you are ok with the lack of input (it only has Gameboy controls) then you can use it for other systems than just GB/GBC

See the comment below for a tutorial for using smartboy with other emulators

TORFdot0 , to sysadmin in [RANT] Why do I need an app to set up a switch?

I’ve been a big proponent of HP Procurve switches in the enterprise but if cloud connectivity is going to be a requirement then I’d rather just go in with Cisco/meraki.

Avoiding the confusing licensing/connectivity requirements were why I used procurve in the first place

TORFdot0 , to showerthoughts in Lemmy is so good right now because there are no kids here

When I was a kid I thought grown ups were annoying, when I was in my 20s I thought teenagers were annoying, in my 30s I think people in their 20s are annoying. People will always have something to complain about others. “Kids” is just a different group for different people.
