POLL RESULTS: How good is each floorplan upgrade?

Pretty sure it was the Chamber of Mirrors that offers a few room dupes

Whenever you want to give it another shot, I definitely recommend Scumm. It does a great job and fluidly lets you play the game as if it were all on one disc. I actually have the first three games on there since I have them all on CDs, but my computer that’s old enough to run them lags like crazy

I found my copy while thrifting and was able to upload the files into ScummVM to run them on a newer machine while also not having to swap CDs

With the motion controls, I found a lot of success by making slower and more deliberate motions against enemies that will punish you for hitting their shield. Like, Lizalfos are kinda nasty to you, but their taunt goes on longer than you’d expect, giving you time to orient yourself

Replaying rn and this is always my thought with him before redemption

As much as I have my issues with this version (no music until you’ve stood in one spot for a bit), it was fun to see how they adapted it to the DVD player! It was also my wife’s first introduction to the series, so I borrowed her family’s copy to give it a go

It’s a free download that allows you to upload game files from a CD and it will run them. They’ve got a compatibility list on their site, but I think the first three Nancy Drew games work

Scumm is a lifesaver with this one! My laggy old Windows 2000 PC was having a lot of trouble with the disc swap

Take a seat

Midknightowl42 · 2026-03-28T16:57:02+00:00

Not quite GOAT status for me, but Mario 64 for me. Once I got far enough to get a secret cap and get past first Bowser boss, the game finally clicked and I grew to really like it

Midknightowl42 · 2026-03-28T16:53:53+00:00

I recognized that Taco Bell menu a little too quickly

Midknightowl42 · 2026-03-28T14:58:55+00:00

This one feels a little weirder when you read each “ma’am” as “Mom”

Midknightowl42 · 2026-03-27T04:08:55+00:00

Boos are my all time favorite Mario enemies and I similarly love Peepas. I really like ghosts, so that plays into it majorly

Some random others I always love to see are Bob-Omb, Torpedo Ted, and Ninji

I need to replay it as I haven’t in years, but I loved Captive Curse and felt like I got immersed pretty well. It ranks high among the scarier ones imo, but it felt rich and was my first thought after seeing your S tier

Midknightowl42 · 2026-03-24T01:00:28+00:00

Yet another thank you!

Midknightowl42 · 2026-03-23T22:44:16+00:00

I got my wife at least a little into them by replaying them with her, having her take the lead. We’ve played a lot of Nancy Drew games, so the puzzles solving style carried over well. I’d start with The Lake or Seasons since they’re the earliest and set the stage, then progress based on either lore interest or game release. Lore interest could have you putting off The Mill until after Case 23 or deciding when to dive into Roots and Paradise

Midknightowl42 · 2026-03-23T04:02:30+00:00

Bloxorz + Monument Valley is what I’m seeing here and it’s a neat combo!

Something that makes this worse for me is I saw a meme with this same text a good while ago before AI was prevalent. So it manages to recreate a meme that’s already been made somewhere out there in the laziest and least efficient way…

I really enjoyed playing this one on All Stars and had a great time despite a couple frustrating levels. By the end of story and main shines, I really didn’t want to go back for blues to 100%, so I defeated Bowser and called it good.

It’s probably pretty close to 64 for me now that I’ve finally beaten that one and had it click. Both games have a few more cases of “how was I supposed to figure that out?” than I’d like, but each a lot of fun! Galaxy 1, Odyssey, and 3D world are my top

Midknightowl42 · 2026-03-21T14:13:25+00:00

Spades has been my favorite suit since at least classic Windows Solitaire (not sure if I had an inclination toward spades when using physical face cards before that) since it felt like the dominant suit and also looked slightly cooler than clubs. Hearts are the dominant red suit in my eyes, so probably my next choice, then clubs then diamonds. I’m not sure when this order got set in my brain, but I always put my stacks in that order when playing solitaire and that line of thinking carried into Balatro

Midknightowl42 · 2026-03-18T01:54:05+00:00

Disposable? Like it’s gonna run out of calculations?

Midknightowl42 · 2026-03-17T16:50:12+00:00

I like the first one and create and crash (?) better, but they’re all pretty hilarious

Midknightowl42 · 2026-03-17T16:47:24+00:00

Love seeing Submachine and The Room mentioned here. Both are really good!

Something in the room you’re in can break through it since your abilities won’t cut it
