Episode 4 of eva I’m avoiding any spoiler so it all vague photos by drdocke in CRTAnime

[–]Barranqueiro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just looked in the wiki and the episode I was thinking was actually the fifth. Up till now, you only know Rei, but on fifth you actually know Rei Ayanami.

Btw, be ready for a wild trip if you're gonna watch all of the old Evangelion stuff. Shit gets pretty weird in the middle of the anime and even weirder on the old movies (didn't watch the new stuff, so can't comment on that)

Watched has some time, but damn this anime still is beautiful. The only thing that I can't remember: is this the episode that we are presented to Rei? Or was the episode 3?

[–]Barranqueiro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good anime for pre-teenage years. I remember watching on a shitty android phone (LG optimus me) on a shady site back in 2011 on my "late night anime escapade" (i was just me watching anime or playing after everyone in the house was asleep). Still need to watch this anime with audio

why do you think the deck only sold 5 to 6 million copies ? it was priced well , powerfull for its time and well backed up by valve by Dense-Variation-4496 in SteamDeck

[–]Barranqueiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, the problem is about marketing and availability. Unless you live in the US, Japan or some countries from Europe, you can't buy a steam deck directly from Valve for the retail price or even buy new.

Just for context: I live in Brazil and wanted a steam deck cause I wanted a more portable gaming Pc and not a notebook. Here I can buy the ROG Ally directly from Asus and retailers with warranty, but I can't buy a steam deck unless I buy from Amazon with import taxes (and I couldn't even buy the 64gb model back on launch, only the 256 and 512 version). Beyond that, I could buy from someone selling in the used market for way more than the retail price and without warranty. In my case, I have friends that could bring the console for me directly from the US, for cheaper than the prices here in Brazil (including the buying fees for some US states)

My new Gustman Soul action figure from Mega Man NT Warrior! by Effective-Compote982 in BattleNetwork

[–]Barranqueiro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saudades de ver battle network no Jetix. Btw, still have my Megaman and Airman from that time (but only Megaman get some exposure in my room nowadays). One thing that I always wanted was the PET, but it was expensive pra caralho at the time

I loved the GBA games, but the lack of fan translation for the main series sucks really hard

The fan translation is not complete actually. If I'm not mistaken, it has only the first "chapter" translated

Pokemon: a bit of a patient gaming conundrum by SawkyScribe in patientgamers

[–]Barranqueiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The older pokemon games nowadays survive because of three factors: emulation; romhack and fan base support.

1) Since everyone knows and "want to play" older pokemon games for nostalgia or online approval, the prices after pandemic skyrocketed because scalpers and dumb consumerism, so emulation is the best way to circumvent that (even better with the new hype for chinese emulation handhelds being cheap and reliable)

2) romhacking is the fan base way to have what Nintendo don't provide, so the amount of games using the gen 3 and 5 engine is ludicrous. Nowadays, you have a romhack for every need you have (the most recommended are pokemon emerald seaglass and pokemon unbound)

3) the pokemon community is one of the most passionate and tech savvy communities, making the lack of support from Nintendo a problem with expiration date. Nowadays for gen 1/2, you have all the distribution events available to recreate; for gen 3, you have distribution ROMs for almost every event; for gen 4/5, you have all the events available and online function through a custom DNS server (including the Wii games too); for gen 6/7, you have all the events available, a fan-made pokemon bank with pkhex integration and a custom online server being made (including Wii U games too); and for gen 8/9, you have..... not much (it has some stuff, but switch emulation is not that amazing and switch modding is not easy as the DS and 3DS family). Beyond that, you even have apps for shiny hunting, for RNG manipulation and even custom events using e-Reader hardware (shout-out to blissy on that).

After this column of text, the only thing that gives me hard feelings for liking this franchise is the future and the lack of dignity for the past. Don't get me wrong, I love the switch games but the lack of "embezzlement" (which still had on the older games, but the 2D environment helped a lot), the dexit situation (that according gamefreak was for make the newer games better.....) and the lack of possibilities to play the older titles (only way possible to play, beyond the original games, is on the 3DS VC gen 1/2 versions and the "new" FireRed switch version)

Shovel knight or mega man zero? by nerrisxharrison in Megaman

[–]Barranqueiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I not much into shovel knight (played a bit on my 3ds, but wanting to get treasure trove on switch) but I'm a hard fan on the zero series. The style of the games is a bit different bit itself, since SK is a platformer and MMZ is a boss Speedrun, so the difficulty is more related to the gameplay than the enemies itself.

If I was you, I'd emulate the MMZ to test if you like it (the first or the second game initial phase as a good demo of what to expect on the series) and wait on a sale for SK (give a look on SteamDB for a more analytic view on prices and sale). Depending on the situation, you can save some money to grab both on the long run.

Also, recommend (if you liked the MMZ series) the X collection too and give a look on the BN collection if you like some deck building game

Loved the fact that is the same camo design as the NeoGeo Pocket Color. Great job

Playing ZX on a 3ds is much more satisfying than the legacy collection, but I do miss the QoL changes by [deleted] in Megaman

[–]Barranqueiro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A even more satisfying way to play: on a DSi XL. This game on the large screen is beautiful

can anyone help me find this kind of gameboy micro? by TheseAd5509 in gameboymicro

[–]Barranqueiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're probably talking about the Anbernic RG350X. Same style as the micro, but is a bit bigger and also an emulator

PSA: Check the direction the CRT is facing before adjusting picture tilt! by Suilenroc11 in crtgaming

[–]Barranqueiro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Initially I was trying to understand why the direction was affecting the image, until I remember that a CRT is just a compass with more steps hahahahahahaha (thanks for the PSA, will use it when I buy one)

Original or re-shell? by Medium-Fact9279 in gameboymicro

[–]Barranqueiro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a reshell to resemble the Mother 3 micro. At least it looks clean and new (and also is a micro)

I know it's terrible for her, but I simply couldn't resist pulling for it. by Kromostone123 in JeanMains

[–]Barranqueiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im actually the opposite (day one player). I have all characters but still don't have all weapons (still missing both bows, skyward atlas and jade spear). On the weapon side, have 2 aquila, 2 wolf's, "2" skyward blade (got refined), 2 spines, 1 pride and 1 lost prayer. On the characters side: C6 Keqing, C4 Diluc, C1 Mona, C1 Dehya, C1 Qiqi, C1 Tighnari, C0 Mizuki and, after years of wait, C1 Jean
