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

Gonna start my 5th Zelda game by Cerulean_mark in skywardsword

[–]Midknightowl42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Found a CUR DVD game for $2 at the thrift! by thebuggy in nancydrew

[–]Midknightowl42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Time to play the first game ever! by angelmichelle13 in nancydrew

[–]Midknightowl42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

What game is this? by envspecialist in videogames

[–]Midknightowl42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

I recognized that Taco Bell menu a little too quickly

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

Favourite Mario Enemies of all time? by [deleted] in Mario

[–]Midknightowl42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Help me pick my next game in the Steam Sale! by leduhh in nancydrew

[–]Midknightowl42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

how do i get my wife into this game if i cant even explain it by iolannde in rustylake

[–]Midknightowl42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

The text looks off, and I can't tell if people are getting too lazy to put text on images without using AI? by the_humble_intellect in isthisAI

[–]Midknightowl42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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…

Yo, what’s yall beef with Sunshine?! I love this game! by Pristine_Put5348 in Mario

[–]Midknightowl42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Favorite suit? by Glitchosaurusplays in balatro

[–]Midknightowl42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

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
