I’ve always had issues when logging for a second time to DQ mobile games.

They either forget my user or refuse to load the games where I left them.
I stopped trying them cause of these..

Recalled a game I wanted to play when I was PN the right mood.

Me on the right mood: Hey this is pretty fun! Combat is fun, boss is challenging aaaaaaaaand…

It lost me with this puzzle.

Why is it always puzzles!? 😩

I mean the potential is just oozing.

Have the 80s cast play like the NES beat em up games and the 2003 turtles play like the Advance games.

Mirage turtles could probably be assists or have new gameplay.

Been feeling in the mood for old games, and specifically, old western RPGs.

Couldn’t help bite GOG’s amazing offer. I was surprise to find some more WRPGs on my account which they gave me for free!

Maybe these will refresh my love for videogames which I’ve felt I’ve been running out of.

So something is definitely up with itch io

It goes down VERY often.
Now it’s logged me out.

And since I can’t remember a password I entered over a week ago, I had to reset it…
Only I can’t cause itch is not sending me the email to restore it.

Considering moving my stuff to Gamejolt…

It sucks to not have anyone to tell how hyped I am to be so near the finish line of my fangame.

Probably when development turns one year old, I’ll have reached my ultimate goal!
(In 1 or 2 months probably)

And then it’s off to a more personal project.

Shredditz🇪🇨🇺🇲 @shredditz.bsky.social · 5d

Happened to me with Dragon Quest 8

Where after so many years of abandoning the game I came back, finished the final boss.

And game was like “oh honey, you’re only halfway there”

That wasn’t the final boss.

How do people even find Game Jams?

Like what accounts should I follow if I want to be notified?

Usually when I find them, I do so on the last day or a month after.

Ever wonder how Rita can HEAR what the rangers are saying from just looking through the telescope?

Maybe she’s got mad lip-reading skills. 🤔

I’ve seen it.
And all I can think of that is that it’s what happens after a decade of Pontac and Graff (?) writing, and shorter quills.

Personally the only thing salvageable from 06 is the music.

Personally dislike 6 foot tall Sonic with droopy quills.

So these geniuses at Costco tire center thought it was a brilliant idea to move the 2 tires I was replacing (one of them was damaged) to the front, while getting rid of ones that were still working.. a process that shouldn’t have taken them 3 HOURS.

Today I woke up to a flat tire

YOU HAD ONE JOB.

Seems like they’re warming up to the idea of human trafficking.
Couldn’t expect less from a ring of pedophiles. It’s the only thing they’re good at.

Maybe It’s impossible due to my age, time, responsibilities, etc

But I hope someday I experience again that feeling that I got when I was given Warcraft 2. Didn’t think I was going to like it, but it blew me away.

Dulcea from MMPR The Movie arrives wielding her staff (and Goldar’s moveset from MMPR The Fighting Edition).

And Shogun Megazord, the heaviest chararacter. Normal rules don’t apply as he can’t be juggled or grabbed.

Me too! I say it all the time!
Coming home with a huge box as if it were a dang present was a far better feeling than any console game to me for some reason (and I always had to pray the game ran)

Never played EverQuest, but a friend of mine gave me a physical worldmap and a strategy guide.

8bitMario @8bitmario.bsky.social · 10d

I miss the days of the late 90s/early 2000s going to a Fry’s (or Incredible Universe!) or Electronics Boutique, and browsing those (huge) PC game boxes with box art I thought looked so cool but never got to play. They were like windows into other worlds.

Simpler times. I’m old.

Shredditz🇪🇨🇺🇲 @shredditz.bsky.social · 12d

One of my favorite childhood games’ way to break free from the norm had you choose between difficulties:

Way Wicked
And
Mental
(Instant follow to whoever guesses the game)

Also Doom has like 5 difficulty levels and none of them say easy, normal or hard.

This is a lost art for real

Kris Werewolfheart @kriswolfhe.art · 12d

renaming 'easy' to 'story' is clearly rooted in some sort of UI research showing players won't willingly change to easy when prompted and will instead hate the game but calling it 'story' alleviates that to some degree, I wonder how long that'll last cause it's clearly a tactic with a shelf life

Or WHAR for short.
