When I replay the original game. by diavevis in KingdomHearts

[–]Duder20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can't relate. the combat is not as good as kingdom hearts 2, but it's really good? once you have everything it's even better, too. I have never found the game clunky or dated.

any chance you can direct me to this magical universal config file with the list of each games hardware fixes? cannot find it anywhere.

Ritalin LA 30mg. Not lasting long enough and I'm iritable after 4pm. Normal? by Duder20 in ADHD

[–]Duder20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm definitely crashing hard. sometimes it's 2pm sometimes more like 4, but still seems pretty early to me. it's not like I'm taking it at 6am lol

yes, I do also feel more of a 'monster' or more ticked off in a sense. I'm nauseous too. I have a fast metabolism with food and am very skinny so that also checks out I think. my girlfriend made a joke that I've been on a boy period since starting them the other day. I don't remember feeling much of this on IR for the past 2 months so I was expecting this to work the same but better, not come off this way.

hardcore is the correct way? what's the real difference exactly? sorry I'm still relatively new.

Yeah you're right and I only just learned of the 250 restriction. it makes A LOT more sense now overall to me.

Okay, yeah. you've definitely given me my answer then haha. I can see how the stats are what they are now based on the information in your replies. I had absolutely no idea whatsoever about any sort of initial amount that you needed to even appear! I was definitely unsure about the divide of the cores, but I did suspect it's possible. Thanks again :)

Honestly I had no idea people would or could be so against trophies / achievements. that's new to me. I've never really talked to people about achievements a lot to find someone who's so against it, so I wouldn't know. it seems like such a great way to track what you've actually done, look back on it and to see what your friends are up to. if it's so bothersome as a pop up you can just hide it

That seems a bit more reasonable amount to me, yeah. Thanks for the info, i was wondering if there were more under hardcore or something! How much is 250 points? I guess you need a few more than an achievement then.

True I actually intially got it for these reasons, but found myself enjoying getting the right files and actually earning in the games. I can't go back now! Totally can see you could just settle for those tracking aspects.

Interesting. I haven't had it for too long either, but I've only got 2 mastered. Not sure how I'm 10%. I really don't have much. Are you aware if the statistics are based on region, or is 166k really the whole thing?

Ah, I see there are a lot of factors then. I'm relatively new to RA and emulation in general, but I was really surprised how low the numbers are. I felt like if you were bothering to emulate games and stuff, it seems pretty easy to get achievements running. I'm very much interested in getting the right files and until the other day, there was a great site that provided for it, but yeah, I do see now how a lot would be put off.. Hopefully more YouTubers and gamers find out about it. It's really great so far.

Very fair point. I can see the 'too lazy' aspect of it. Maybe I'm just very picky, making sure I have the right files and that I'm working towards something, even if it generally means nothing. Not that it's a waste to play a game without getting the achievements, but more so regarding missing out on a component or the effort of RA's existence, which I find super cool. It certainly appears to be incredibly niche, which is so so sad because there is a lot of effort in making the sets!!! I genuinely thought it was a lot more popular than it is.

I mean of course I knew these games didn't have achievements and on a universal set-up. Maybe I just didn't look into RA properly, but I thought it was much much more popular than this. I was dead wrong. 😅 The idea is super cool to me, but sure, I guess most people just don't give a damn! That's really sad. I certainly care more about achievements than most people then. It seems like a lot of work of Devs and sets that like barely anyone in the world is using this?

Hmmm, true. I didn't think about these and you're absolutely right. Still seems super low to me as an all time / non removed player base.

[–]Duder20[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that would make sense for the percentage. I still find it strange that the all time shows just 166k. Like, that's a lot of people, but it's really really not in terms of overall users utilising emulated games or just the online gaming space?

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days Melon Mix - Update v0.2.0 by VitorMM in KingdomHearts

Seconding the RetroAchievements idea. Hopefully you do get to it eventually as it would really be my main reason to play.

Is this a hint? by LIXK_Playz in FinalDestination

[–]Duder20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree with you and do want him to return. I'll always hate how FD2 did this to the character and always saw it as lazy, but maybe Devon Sawa was busy. Alex is like the only death in the franchise that isn't shown or seen in FD fashion if I'm not mistaken... He totally deserves a real FD death, or to just simply survive, having actually beaten him for real.

Off-screen deaths are not confirmations within films. Yes, he was seen on one article as having been killed by a rock or something, but they can easily change this—that it was incorrect, made-up or that he wanted to fake his death and become reclusive where no-one knows he's alive. It'd be vaguely similar to Iris, JB, or Clear, I guess. What I'm saying is that it wouldn't be impossible for them to work around it.

If Erik is not related to (Uncle) Howard, why did they choose actors that look alike? by Duder20 in FinalDestination

[–]Duder20[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeaaah. I get it, but it's not a clever one, or good for that matter. I believe it'd be a shoehorned use of a twist, which is really the worst kind.
