Many still are, but 70 star offers a lot of flexibility in routing to just pick the stars that are RTA-able.

I'm curious what the A count for RTA 120 could be. TAS is 13x, but humans will need more.

Pannenkoek does have a few videos documenting stars that can be beaten with No Joystick Allowed strats (these are old and there are more on the secondary UncommentatedPannen channel but I don't see a playlist compiling them). A full run is definitely not possible, but at least some stars are doable.

I really miss the keyboard on my old Motorola Droid 2. Still wasn't any good for gaming honestly, but it's way better for typing than a touchscreen.

Bear in mind that Kirby Air Ride came out in 2003, on a console that's only meant to be hooked up to CRTs. How many users back then do you think would've had access to this feature in the first place? Or would still be playing this game if/when they upgrade later?

Gamecube doesn't have enough RAM to preload everything at startup like that, you have to go through the menus and pick a game mode and map to load.

Surely if it needed that startup load anyway, then Sakurai wouldn't be saying he turned the license down in order to get players in the game faster. I'm going to trust Sakurai's word here!

Refusing to treat people with the barest minimum of respect is not a "personal opinion", it's behavior that no space should tolerate.

Desktop audio streaming has never worked. Bug report has been outstanding since the beginning and Discord has just... never addressed it.

While my 2021 essay did aim to be as thorough as I could in criticizing PPT itself, all of my criticism of the game is secondary to my greater criticism of how Sega handled the series afterward. I wonder if being too thorough may have caused that thesis to be lost in the woods, but I hope this video today hammers that point back home.

If Sega had followed up PPT1 with a full mainline game, using its commercial success as a jumping off point for the series to go onto bigger and better things, I wouldn't be so frustrated today. But instead of doing that... we got Apple Arcade.

Yeah, the online being fake is appalling. Sega knew in advance that this game would be completely dead online, meaning no one's playing it. They knew what would happen and they took this deal anyway.

What do you define as them "winning"? You can say that out and open neo-nazis will never make up a majority of the voting populace. But they don't need to be a majority to do real damage, and they shouldn't be ignored just because they're under 51%.

Look at everything that's been happening already. Trump. Bolsonaro. Brexit. The repeal of Roe v. Wade. The erosion of LGBT rights. These are real issues, and they will not go away if we close our eyes.

And outside of just legislation they pass, consider a more human perspective. Each and every impressionable person that gets suckered into their ideology, that they teach to hate, that's a tragedy already. We need to do everything we can to save people from hate.

All of these issues absolutely are cause for concern. The more I read you trying to pretend they're not, the more I'm beginning to wonder if you're just a fash in disguise.

I'd been on the microblog side of Fedi for a while, when Reddit shat the bed I went to check out the link aggregator/forum. But it's a long way from ever being able to replace what I used Reddit for: communities for niche microinterests. And I'm not optimistic it'll ever get to that level. We have a slow moving frontpage for memes and world news but that's about it.

I still keep the tab open and poke my head into it from time to time, but I don't do much more than lurk because there's not much for me to see here. I'm still not going back to Reddit either, but that just means I'm a hermit living in a cave now.

There were a lot of valid conversations to be had about journalistic integrity. Which made it all the more damning that Gamergate never once had any of these conversations, ever.

What answer would have satisfied you? You started off aggressive and combative in the OP, then acted surprised when you were met in kind.

Built a new desktop, backed up everything on my old laptop, next step was to format an Arch installer USB. Instead of formatting the USB, I formatted my laptop's /boot partition. No big loss since I had the backup and was done with that old toaster, but oops.

I picked up a Miyoo Mini Plus earlier this year as an impulse buy, and ended up liking it enough that I regret not buying a higher end model with analog sticks. Still, don't know if it's worth trying to upgrade now - I'm waiting for the day we can get a full SteamOS device in this form factor.

Youtube has a captive audience that isn't going anywhere. The platform is too big to die, and too expensive for any challenger to seriously threaten it. And the only users they stand to lose with this move are the users who are costing them money, they don't care if adblock users leave as long as they keep everyone else.

I'm using Stream Cleaner on Twitch, still works. The cat has not won yet.

I already have enough zillion-hour games to grind, I don't need every game to be that. As much as I love JRPGs I have a hard time setting aside time to finish one these days since I have too much else I also want to play.

Are these mutually exclusive?

They already did, Reroll came out in 2018.

I don't need a higher spec Steam Deck, most of what I play is all 2D indie games anyway. What I really want to see someday is a Steam Deck Pocket in a DS-sized form factor.

Place was good once, but you're not missing anything now. Trying to recapture that magic just feels like Reddit is out of ideas and just desperately trying to remind people of the one good thing they ever did. It's like Al Bundy still hyping up his high school football career because the rest of his life has been downhill since then.

Golden Sun holds a place in my heart as the first JRPG I played that had me do more than just click Attack for the majority of turns. A lot of older titles suffered in that regard, but Golden Sun addresses it with regenerating PP and free Djinn actions to encourage you to explore your toolkit. Puzzles were also fantastic.

Skip the DS game though, it's bad.

Would you rather fight 100 duck-sized horses or never read this question again?

I've been thinking about getting one of these mini handhelds, but I kinda want to hold out for something that could eventually run SteamOS. Deck is nice but I want something that fits in my pocket.

I've poured over 1000 hours into Spire. It has consumed my life. Help me.

The vanilla game is amazing enough as is, but once you've mastered A20H with all four characters do check out the thriving mod scene. My favorites:

Characters:
The Packmaster - If you play just one mod character, make it this one. Absolutely top notch collab.
The Adventurer
The Thorton
The Shaman
The Bladedancer
The Aquatic
The Avocado
Robot Space Explorer

Gameplay/content addons:
Chimera Cards
Spire Locations
Reliquary
One Hundred Relics
Wandering Minibosses
Battle Towers

QoL/misc:
Minty Spire
Bestiary
Googly Eyes

You're not a real Gamer unless you're from the Gamer region of France, otherwise you're just a sparkling controller.
