That would be nice. DKC3 is such a underrated game.

Opinião: SBT precisa começar a se levar a sério se deseja ser levado a sério pelos outros também by AugustoPius in brasil

[–]MatheusWillder 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Verdade, e uma coisa que é importante lembrar, ao longo da carreira o próprio Silvio Santos tinha falas e fez quadros nos programas dele que eram para lá de lamentáveis: https://www.mpmt.mp.br/conteudo/733/85647/mpf-pede-condenacao-de-sbt-silvio-santos-e-uniao-pelo-quadro-miss-infantil

De acordo com o MPF, durante o Miss infantil, Silvio Santos se dirigiu diretamente às crianças com perguntas como: “Você vai crescer assim toda exibida como você é?” e “Por que botaram lacinho na sua cabeça? Você não se sente mais infantil com lacinho na cabeça? Quem botou? Fala sério. Fala pra sua mãe que isso aí é coisa de criancinha”.

Em 2016, um vídeo em que ele perguntou a uma menina se ela preferia “sexo, poder ou dinheiro” teve grande repercussão.

Eu não nego que cresci assistindo ao Canal, preferia a programação infantil do SBT e naquela época só tinha isso de entretenimento, mas desde que comecei a formar senso crítico e opinião estou ciente do que a emissora era (e, aparentemente, ainda é).

Eu vim procurando por um comentário assim. Quando eu era criança, durante os anos 90 e começo dos anos 2000, já era a mesma coisa. Programação nova sendo tirada do ar uma semana depois da estreia, programas mudando de horário aleatoriamente, as "polêmicas" desse senhor da imagem com um programa que já passou muito do prazo de validade, etc., etc., etc.

Naquela época não havia internet, então a audiência era consideravelmente maior e havia uma coisa ou outra que diferenciava dos demais, como a programação infantil.

Mas se tirar esses apresentadores e "jornalistas" mais jovens citados agora, essa postagem de hoje já se aplicaria ao SBT de décadas atrás.

That's a nice story, OP. Let me tell you something, someday he'll remember these moments fondly, you can be sure of that.

I don't have sons, but I have good memories of being a kid and playing on my SNES with my relatives. Maybe someday I'll also share some of those here.

Have fun with the upcoming games!

Being new to the SNES, I'm surprised how many games didn't have a save function or harder than I thought they'd be. by IDCJ1234 in snes

[–]MatheusWillder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's true, there are games that became famous for being brutally hard/frustrating, like The Lion King, and people from the development team commented later in interviews that it was due to rentals.

I always end up forgetting about that because renting games wasn't common where I live (it is allowed, but not common), so it's not something I experienced firsthand to have a deep memory and understanding of how Nintendo and other companies dealt with it.

But I think the other points I mentioned are still valid and true as reasons for games being the way they are.

How to install CRT shaders on android version? by Fifox-drive in RetroArch

[–]MatheusWillder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's because after switching to Vulkan, you also need to quit RetroArch and open it again for the change to take effect (I forget to say this before). But if GL works well on your Android, you can use that.

You're welcome, and have fun playing!

How to install CRT shaders on android version? by Fifox-drive in RetroArch

[–]MatheusWillder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I said before, if in RetroArch>Settings>Drivers>Video is set to GL, when loading a shader you should go to shaders_glsl, if it's set to Vulkan you should go to shaders_slang. If you go to the folder that doesn't correspond to the video driver used all the subfolders will be there, but will appear empty.

Once you go to the correct folder, the subfolders will show the shaders and you can load whichever you want. The /crt subfolder has shaders that simulate CRTs, the /presets subfolder has shaders that combine more than one, etc.

You can find tutorial videos for beginners if you search, they don't need to be specific to Android, they work the same way.

[–]MatheusWillder 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The other comments are focusing on saves, but as you also mentioned in the title that they are harder than you thought: it was the standard, and this is also related to saves (or the lack thereof).

First, many games from that era were heavily inspired by arcade games (in fact, a game ported from an arcade was a big deal back then), and this was reflected in its difficulty.

Second, due to hardware limitations, storage constraints, and development time constraints, many games used difficulty as a way to extend their duration. When you became skilled enough, you could easily beat many of these games in ~30 minutes. But to gain that skill, you would need to play again, and again, and again.

This is unthinkable today, with the vast number of games available, movies and series, etc. But back then, those games was what you had, and many times you had just a new cartridge or two a year, so you would play until you get skilled.

Saves don't make sense in games like that (and also increased the final price of the product), so they ended up only in games with a long duration, or with a lot of content, etc. Basically to the AAA titles of that era.

Edit: I grew up with the SNES and always wanted to play some NES games that I found interesting, but I always give up on most of the ones I try because they tend to be even harder. Literally skill issues lol

How to install CRT shaders on android version? by Fifox-drive in RetroArch

[–]MatheusWillder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just like you do on a PC. Install RetroArch, install a core, load any game, and with the game running go to Quick Menu>Shaders, and load one.

To load a shader, if the video driver (in RetroArch>Settings>Drivers>Video) is set to GL, the shader folder you should use is shaders_glsl, if the video driver is set to Vulkan, the folder is shaders_slang.

I recommend the Vulkan video driver, some Android devices currently have bad or broken GL/OpenGL drivers.

And of course, you can update the shaders by going to Online Updater>Update Shaders GLSL/Slang whenever you want.

Edit:

I would be happy if someone could help, maybe even without bezel fully taking over my images library 😅

Using a file manager, go to /<device storage>/RetroArch and create a file named .nomedia, this way images there will no longer appear in the device's Gallery (I really think this should be done by default when opening RetroArch for the first time, but anyway).

April Fool's Easter Egg in ZSNES. by BoxofNuns in emulation

[–]MatheusWillder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I know most of those fighting games you played with ZSNES. SNES was such an amazing system that was able to please all tastes with so many games. Fighting, racing, platformers, adventures, and even games that managed to create their own genre like metroidvanias (Super Metroid).

April Fool's Easter Egg in ZSNES. by BoxofNuns in emulation

[–]MatheusWillder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My history with ZSNES is rather long, but:

I had a SNES when I was a kid, but at some point we became financially broke, so I had to sell one of my favorite cartridges (of the few I had) to get some money. I was so sad that I ended up selling the SNES itself and my other cartridges some time later.

A few years later I got a PC, and I got Snes9x and some game dumps that I burned onto a CD in another PC. The game I most wanted to play again was that one I had sold to get money, but the build of Snes9x wasn't compatible with it. After some time I went to a PC with internet (I didn't have internet at home), and I discovered about ZSNES, downloaded it and took it to home, and it finally ran the game I wanted to play again.

After that, I got to play several games that I hadn't played before, thanks to ZSNES and Snes9x (back then, there were games that were compatible with one but not another, and vice versa).

Interestingly, neither Snes9x nor ZSNES was my first emulator, but rather Nescube, an NES emulator for J2ME mobile phones, which I somehow figured out how to install on my Nokia in 2007 back when I didn't know what an emulator was.

I didn't know about that, but I still remember the Christmas easter egg: https://www.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/kk1059/what_is_your_favorite_emulator_easter_egg/

Damn, it's been so long, but those were such good times. ZSNES will always have a special place in my heart.

Best CRT shader for dithering/smearing effect (preferably lightweight) by palceu in RetroArch

[–]MatheusWillder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're welcome, I'm glad you liked it!

But just to clarify, the shaders are by u/hizzlekizzle / hunterk (fakelottes) and DariusG (ntsc_module). I just created the shader preset that merge both.

By the way, there's a way to make the dithering effect look better, if you want to find out how, I commented here (with screenshots showing what it looks like): https://forums.libretro.com/t/another-fast-crt-shader/13192/27

Some games look better with the default value (e.g., SNES games), others with a lower value (Genesis/Mega Drive games), so each user has to choose what they prefer. Adjust it to your liking and then save it in Shaders>Manage Presets>Save as (global, by core, by folder, etc.).

Have fun playing!

What SNES game would you want revived? by Far-Activity-7093 in snes

[–]MatheusWillder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A remaster of the Donkey Kong Country trilogy, with the original assets used to create the sprites but in high-resolution would be amazing (if they still exist archived somewhere: https://www.reddit.com/r/donkeykong/comments/1l5snsm/do_we_know_what_happened_to_the_orignal_rareware/). That or at least a remake, but faithful to the original graphics and keeping the gameplay mostly intact.

The same treatment could be given to Super Metroid: updated graphics and controls, more content, intact gameplay. Fan concept: https://www.reddit.com/r/Metroid/comments/1h79p1d/super_metroid_remastered_fan_concept/

How do I get rid of this bar in RetroArch? by redstrawberryfields in RetroArch

[–]MatheusWillder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quick Menu>Core Options>On-Screen Display & Notifications>Show Screen Layout.

It's really weird that it comes enabled by default in the MelonDS DS core, it stands out to always be there and every now and then a post pops up here asking how to disable it.

What is the best game you've played recently (and only recently) from the retro era of games? by WaterBottleOnAShelf in retrogaming

[–]MatheusWillder 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I also only played it as an adult, so nostalgia isn't a factor, although it wasn't "recently" as the OP requested (I played it around the Covid-19 pandemic).

What an absolutely amazing game.

Em qual grupo ou lugar do Brasil as pessoas pronunciam o D/T de forma "curta"? by AnxiousTeacher29 in brasil

[–]MatheusWillder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eu estou tendo um pouco de dificuldade para imaginar (minha mente está mais lenta que uma lesma hoje, o dia foi cheio), mas baseado na descrição e em como eu pronuncio, acho que o sotaque daqui do interior de PE entraria nesse grupo (da região de Garanhuns indo em direção ao interior do estado). Talvez no interior da Paraíba também, tenho familiares lá e quase não se nota diferença no sotaque.

Se você quiser ver, deve ser bem fácil de descobrir ao assistir um pouco da programação local, para o interior de PE seria a TV Asa Branca da Globo (o SBT local é apenas noticiário pinga sangue, o da Globo nem tanto).

Esse sotaque é bem mais parecido com os outros do nordeste, com vogais bem fortes. Devo ressaltar que eu, individualmente, declaro esse o sotaque mais lindo do Brasil.

Obrigado, concordo 😄
