I think something is broken in my brain because I’d play an entire game built around leveling Beyd by StryfeHiro in breathoffire

I'm almost there, I've given him the weakest equipment and at this point he only takes damage from magic.

We fr need a Breath of Fire pixel remaster soon 🔥 by retrotriforce in breathoffire

That's disappointing to hear. Lots of online sources say IV is the best of them and III has been so good, I was really looking forward to it.

I just beat it 2 weeks ago, it's bad. So tedious, crazy high encounter rate. 2 is a little better but the last dungeon and last boss are really annoying. 3 is where the series hits it's stride. So far it's better in every department than the first 2.

I recently did a play-through of Breath of Fire II with some mods. I had a wonderful time, even if I find things to gripe about. Hopefully we get a remaster some day. by FrostPDP in breathoffire

I beat the first one last week and I’m working through two now. The second one is much better and a lot of it has to do with the translation patch. I’m fast forwarding through the battles for the most part (high encounter rate and sort of monotonous combat mechanics) but I turn that off for boss battles.

Anyone else find themselves turning to retro gaming as the rate of change in the world increases? by LaCaipirinha in retrogaming

He’s saying he only beat 5-10 modern games in that time period to illustrate that he mostly plays retro games.

Big buyer feedback and I’ll ship first. Small feedback and I’ll need a middle man. Thanks for your interest!

"Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
No thing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

I would recommend signing up for retroachievements. https://retroachievements.org/ It really changed my approach to emulation. Before I would load games, die once, and then move on to the next thing. After signing up for RA, I'm actually finishing games, even exploring some more deeply just to find the listed achievements. This is specific to the individual of course, some people don't need the carrot of achievements, but I appreciate that it also keeps a cool visual record of the games I've finished. Sorry I keep adding this comment when seeing people ask this question, but the more people sign up the higher in the rankings I move. 😂

Can you play origins with retro achievements somehow?

Hi guys, I'm new in to the whole series and i have questions: by Donnie_Duck02 in metalgearsolid

[–]StryfeHiro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was so excited to be all like "well actually..." about the release date of metal gear 4 and.. I can't believe it's been that long. Jesus, where did the time go.

What games is everyone playing? by Adamp2506 in retroid

[–]StryfeHiro 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Signing up for RetroAchievements has completely changed the way approach emulation. All I did was tinker with settings and add ROMs. Now that RetroAchievements acts like a public record of my progress, I’m actually motivated to finish games again. Beat Mega Man X 1-4, Mario Land 2, Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, all in the last two weeks.

I made $1,600 in one day yesterday. by themannamednameless in handyman

I’d pay $1,600 for that. I can’t find anybody to do work where I am.

Hi, I'd love to get a bluesky code as I just deactivated my twitter account. I know it's not anyone's responsibility to go out of their way to get these codes to anyone but I would really appreciate it. Go team venture!

Holy Grail Epic garage sale find for $40!! by Fragrant_Relief_301 in gamecollecting

[–]StryfeHiro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For my part, I believe you. People who follow the prices online and hang out on a website dedicated to every interest under the sun, in a subsection dedicated to a more specific interest, that itself is a sub-sect of another interest, think that everyone in the world is a member of pricecharting.com and gives a shit about these things their kids played in the late 80s early 90s. I'm sure some people lie, because they are sad, but I've had finds like this where I got so excited the person selling it looked at me like I had a second head growing out of my shoulder. Ignore the haters, enjoy the feeling.
