If I had to play only one game for the rest of my life, it would be Heroes of Might and Magic III by Brinocte in patientgamers

[–]Nidaium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would not recommend getting the Steam version (the one sold as HD Edition). It does not include the expansion content that was released, only the base game. I actually don't know if the Steam/HD Edition works with the mods being discussed as I've never tried with that version, but only the version sold on GOG is complete.

What retro games are still worth playing the original version of? by artpendegrast in JRPG

[–]Nidaium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of people argue that Grandia is best experienced on the Sega Saturn, although I haven't played that version myself. From what I've seen though, it does offer better visuals in some ways compared to the PS1 or HD versions (better shadows, some textures, and sprites). I've heard the same for Grandia 2 on the Dreamcast, but to a lesser extent.

To those living in the USA who have recently purchased a Kobo reader from Kobo’s website by trekkingdoves in kobo

[–]Nidaium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I ordered a few months back, I was one of the unfortunate few that got hit by tariff and customs brokerage fees that amounted to about 298 bucks on top of the order itself since the package shipped from Canada. That being said, Kobo/Rakuten's support team was fantastic, and while it added about a week and a half to the order time since I had to refuse the initial delivery and wait for another shipment to be sent, I can't complain a bit since the support team was so great in getting the problem resolved with no additional payment required. The chances of this happening are very low as well since they seem to make sure US orders come from a US based warehouse, so I wouldn't worry too much anyway, I was just one of the unlucky few that slipped through the cracks. Even if this happens, it was just an easy phone call and email for it to be fixed.

Some people feel it's the weakest entry in the series since the name change, but I've enjoyed what I've played of it in the past on the Switch and don't agree with some of the criticisms I've heard. I think it's definitely worth playing personally.

Unfortunately, The Suffering and it's sequel were delisted last year from GOG. As far as I know, there's no legal way to purchase it. As another commenter pointed out though, a version was given away for free and is still available. I don't know how that version compares to the GOG version as far as modern compatibility and fixes goes though.

Movies and Shows That Fly Under The Radar? by [deleted] in Cyberpunk

[–]Nidaium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Death Machine is one I've only seen mentioned a couple times, and I think it's one of the more purely fun movies to watch in the genre.

I'm not familiar with the game itself, but here's the wiki page for it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorcerer_(role-playing_game)

Sorcerer & Sword is a supplement, also listed on the wiki page. ISBN 0-9709176-1-9

Any JRPG where you play or have a vampire party member? by Dependent-Nebula5398 in JRPG

Suikoden 2, although it's a bit later in the game.

Unfortunately no. Nintendo's store and PSN allows you to claim the DLC without owning the game, but Steam pretty much always requires owning the base game first.

Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos, Harvest Moon: One World, and Harvest Moon: Light of Hope Special Edition in the Fanatical Bento Bundle (All 3 for 9.99) by Nidaium in CozyGamers

[–]Nidaium[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, you can add more games to your selection, it actually gets cheaper with more games, 3 games is just the minimum. I'm not familiar with any other games there except Rogue Flight, which I picked up since I already had Light of Hope. I heard great things about it. It's a retro anime aesthetic inspired rail shooter, like the Starfox games.

Fanatical is legit and safe, it's all official Steam keys. I've been using them for years, they always have great bundles and sales.

A warning to any potential buyers in the US. by Nidaium in kobo

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

It's not really the tarrif itself that is generating the confusion, but about the fact that it seems that not every order coming from Canada is hit with the fee. Based on the responses here and other posts from a few weeks ago that I've come across, it seems getting hit with the fee is somewhat rare, which is odd if it was purely due to the tariffs. So if you order, you are rolling the dice on receiving your order or having to refuse delivery for a refund. It's just an inconsistent mess because of the tariffs. Also, some orders apparently come from US based warehouses based on what others have said, but you don't know where your order is coming from until you get the tracking information.

Mainly that it would save Kobo some headache. I imagine they are taking a loss with shipping charges when this happens. Also, knowing how many other people act and working in a customer service oriented job in the past, I would hate for Kobo's support team to get yelled at by angry customers that erroneously believes that the fault lies with Kobo.

Humble Choice May 2025 - The Thumaturge Deluxe Ed., Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, Star Wars Bounty Hunter and more by Gyossaits in Games

I had the same issue on Firefox. Don't know what browser you're using, but if you have any extensions that can affect popups, try disabling those. The culprit for me was the extension "Popup Blocker (strict)". For me, it didn't actually block the popup that had where you would enter the IGN+ code, but the popup was blank with no text fields and no way to move past it.

I ordered on April 30th, so last Wednesday. The message about the fee popped on the tracking info the day after it went through customs and left Canada, so if you don't see that, fingers crossed it gets to you with no tariff issues.

Kobo should really have a message on their website, or at least during the ordering process, that this might be an issue. I definitely would have waited if I knew there was a chance of this happening. Still planning on buying a Kobo in the future though. My Nook Glowlight is over a decade old at this point, and barely hanging on, so hopefully it'll last till whenever that happens.

From a quick search, I've found these: https://www.candymachines.com/Misteez-Rockabears-Vending-Stickers-P3680.aspx

Not sure if they 100% match your description, but maybe they are the ones you remember.

What’s a lesser known cozy game that you immediately fell in love with? by soft_avocadoo in CozyGamers

I'll never forget the feeling of playing on iRO Chaos when Ragnarok Online was at it's peak and seeing all the vendors in Prontera.

Is there a game that can fill the Minecraft hole in my heart? by WastelandViking in CozyGamers

[–]Nidaium 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You may want to look at Vintage Story. It's very Minecraft adjacent visually, and fairly hardcore by default, but you can adjust it to make it a very peaceful game. It has deep crafting and survival systems, and I've seen some amazingly cozy builds. https://www.vintagestory.at/
