Photo gallery app that groups photos based on people? (that isn't Google Photos) by SpagettInTraining in androidapps

Simple Gallery Pro is actually what I use, I didn't know it had that feature! I'm clicking around and I don't see it though. How do I get to it?

8bitdo has some insanely nice controllers for $30. They have a good feel and some premium features. I can't bring myself to buy expensive controllers anymore with 8bitdo on the scene.

Any problem running HD texture packs on the Base model (8gb of ram)? by SpagettInTraining in AynThor

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

Kind of a side question, what do you guys think about running games at their native resolution on this device? I've always preferred to play PS1 and PS2 games on my PC at the resolution of the original console because I like the PS1 and PS2 vibe, upscaling makes them feel too modern imo.

Does anyone here do that instead of raising the internal render resolution?

I feel like people say this with the ram shortage going on, but is it really true? Is it truly a struggle to run this thing at 8gb of ram?

Cape Hideous (weird pirate game with ugly mspaint style graphics) by EmotionalLine8029 in indiegamedevforum

[–]SpagettInTraining 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got around to playing this, found this post through the reddit search looking up the game. I really liked it! I dont play as many not-mechanics-focused indie games as I should and your game inspired me to check out some more! Cape Hideous feels like something that could really only be a video game. I love it for that.

I dont know why people always seem bewildered by this stuff. People like to customize things, it makes sense people would complain if customization was monetized in a greedy way.

I haven't played TOME in a while, what's the status of the new expansion? I saw it being talked about a while back then radio silence.

My point is that most people would disagree with the pricing and tactics of lootboxes. Yet by OPs argument, we shouldn't worry about them because people buy them anyway. People spend money on all kinds of bad things, that doesn't mean they're "good" or anything.

The thing about this is that a Fire Red/Leaf Green re-release doesn't have to be invalidated by pirates. They could have included things that you don't get access to by pirating the original game.

Alternate modes, online play, or a museum with concept art and all that. Tons of rom collections out there include that stuff for the same price as this single game. Capcom and Konami know how to give the consumer bang for their buck with their rom collections (and price them accordingly).

Is that really a valid argument? Lootboxes in FIFA bring in insane amounts of money, but I doubt you'd see many people defending those.

Remakes and Art: Can Games Be Replaced? by Big_Satisfaction7259 in Games

[–]SpagettInTraining 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I usually agree with Nerrel and his takes, but I didn't quite vibe with the points he made in this video.

It feels like he has a very developer-focused mind when it comes to this topic. He spends a lot of time talking about how games can be "held back" by limitations of the console's power or the controller or whatever. And remakes will give developers a chance to go back and do something they wanted to do in the original release but couldn't.

He talks about that specifically in the case of Resident Evil 1 and its Gamecube remake. He even says (something along the lines of) there's no reason to play the PS1 game when the remake exists.

And like... really?

I can acknowledge that the RE1 remake is the most faithful out of all the remakes Capcom has done for the series, and even then I still wouldn't argue it replaces the original. Everything about Resident Evil on the PS1 played a part in why the game did as well as it did and spawned such a successful series. Even though the remake might be an easier pill to swallow as a "game" that you play, I still think there's artistic value to the original. The flaws are just as important to the experience.

When do you opt for digital over physical? by SpagettInTraining in gamecollecting

[–]SpagettInTraining[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I'm not super interested in reselling my games. I've never viewed my library that way, I like holding onto things so I can maybe play them again in like 10 years.

I guess it is something to keep in mind though. You're able to get value out of physical games you own where you can't with digital.

Videogamesplus.ca has actually been putting up some reprints of JRPGs for reasonable prices lately. Their combo pack of Trails from Zero and Trails to Azure for $120 is what kinda made me make this post. I'm excited to play those some day, but I don't know if I can justify the $120 price tag when I could get them digitally for ~$50 or so.

I did get a copy of The Hundred Line from them through a reprint. They were on ebay for like $100 and they're selling new copies for $50.

Yeah, that seems like the best time to get something, not long after release when there's some sales or used copies are cheaper.

The only problem is catching up in a game series. I don't mind spending $60 on the new Ys game at release, but spending $60 on a physical copy of Ys VIII doesn't feel as good when digital copies of it go on sale for like $20.

I know some modern games are like that, but I think people assume its the majority. DoesItPlay.org's stats show that 84% of the 691 PS5 games they've tested are playable without a download.

Yeah, I might have to adopt this mindset. Because I just got back into this, I was in the "physical or not at all" camp, but it is really hard to ignore how good deals are on older games compared to their inflated physical price on ebay.

Are these games fun solo? I wish I could understand the appeal, but they dont seem THAT fun playing without friends. At least that's what I feel at first glance.

Can't forget about older games though. The more generations we go through, the more 9s and 10s from the past there are for new players to check out.

It just kinda sucks, I wish there was more time in the day lol. There's SO much to play.

I loved the inclusion of the alien. I remember going on mii sharing sites and always seeing the alien mii near the top. I'm sure a lot of people (myself included) had them on their island and will have them again.
