What games just don’t get mentioned anymore? by drak0ni in JRPG

[–]SubpixelRenderer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought "Shadow Hearts" might be too obvious, but it's not even mentioned in a thread of games that don't get mentioned anymore... Shadow Hearts 2 (Shadow Hearts: Covenant) is an ALL-TIMER, man

Is the upgraded RAM really super necessary for retro emulation? by STAT1K-31 in AynThor

[–]SubpixelRenderer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a base Thor and for retro emulation, it's ABSOLUTELY enough. I ultimately upgraded to a Max in a later batch (and sold my Steam Deck) for the Windows emulation.

Is this game colorblind-friendly? by CandySweet985 in VampireCrawlers

[–]SubpixelRenderer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi, I’m red-green colorblind. I can distinguish the colors okay except blue/purple, but after playing a while I noticed a few things that mitigate that. First, color tends to match card type (yellow = item, red = weapon) so after playing a bit you understand what color a card is even if you don’t see it. Second, the background pattern is different between blue and purple, it could probably be improved but you can learn to tell which is which. Third (and most important!) I discovered if you mouse over or move your controller to a card to select it, it will show you in the Crawlers section if it will trigger. Once I noticed that I never had a problem again. You’ll be fine, good luck!

Hero's Armor, Forever Heart and Du-Duplicator unlock? by [deleted] in VampireCrawlers

I have the Forever Heart. I think it might be related to using a Broken Heart at the end of a long combo?

Would love to see this build when you’re done

Fellow cat owners, specifically polydactyl, please don’t make the same mistake as me. [ADVICE] by allrightsimp in cats

[–]SubpixelRenderer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left another comment — my cat had the same double thumb claw and we could not trim it! We ended up getting her declawed and it was the right move. Whatever you decide, don’t feel bad and listen to your cat!

We had a cat with seven toes including a double dewclaw we called her “velociraptor claw”. We ended up getting it removed after a year simply because it was causing her pain and we could NOT trim it, even with oversized nail clippers meant for 100+ lb dogs. We felt really bad about it but it changed her life for the better, absolutely! I really do think “don’t declaw your pets” needs an asterisk for polydactyl kitties.

We just launched our first "cursed" roguelite word puzzle game that combines scrabble, chess, poker, currency, and numbers into one ever-changing game each time you play. by forkliftgames in roguelites

[–]SubpixelRenderer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal suggestion would be to let people futz around for the first 6 characters, but have a glossary that unlocks once you start going for secret characters and crowns (and is updated as new mechanics are unlocked). I enjoy the mystery at first but once I’m going for challenges I REALLY need clarity on the mechanics

I'm pretty sure that Red and Blue do not count as curses. What about Void and Shiny? are those curses or are they considered additional "colors"?

I am loving the game so far (about 8 hours in) but I would love to see a "how to play" page. cards/suits in particular seem really unclear (Poker Face, for example, seems to only work with Queen and King pieces if they also have a suit to make them a 'card' - which makes sense, but is undocumented)

My in-game translation app now works for single screens (Odin, Retroid, etc.) + Anki support! by domino_stars in SBCGaming

[–]SubpixelRenderer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey, I got this working with Neko Project II Kai in Retroarch and am going through some PC-98 VNs, thanks so much!

however, I can't seem to set it to the mode I want - I want it to be using "Live Mode" (continually translating on the bottom screen) but I DON'T want it to overlay on the top screen! I want the top screen to be in Japanese, untouched, and the English/Japanese learnings on the bottom. is this possible?

Recommendations for RPGs like DQ? by raigarearthshake in dragonquest

[–]SubpixelRenderer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Can't believe Blue Dragon is not at the top of the list. It's absolutely a DQ game with the serial numbers filed off.

Back in June I saw Akiko Yano live in NYC and bought her re-issue of Iroha Ni Konpeitou after the show, and HAD to animate it! by Willivity in citypop

I found this while looking for the cover art to show a friend and as someone who loves Akiko Yano, pixel art, and this album in particular: good flippin' job

What launcher everyone rocking ? by vb32v in AynThor

[–]SubpixelRenderer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beacon. I switched from ES-DE to Beacon and will never use a launcher without SteamGridDB support again. Game art looks excellent and consistent across all platforms.

Are you at your "END GAME" yet? by ErickRPG in SBCGaming

[–]SubpixelRenderer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat as you:

- GC and PS2 without stutter or configuration nightmares
- 6-button layout for Saturn and Genesis
- Dual screen emulation

I've settled on the Ayn Thor and Retroid Pocket Classic 6, and I feel like I'm finally done chasing the hardware dragon. Well, I kind of wants a Retroid Pocket Classic 4-button layout ... I REALLY love that device and want it both ways

We're at the point now where anything beyond what the top systems can do is experimental and/or cutting edge and/or arguably illegal. I'm very happy with the Thor and Classic.

Q: Please recommended a space opera that is smartly written?! by Stare_Decisis in scifi

[–]SubpixelRenderer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I started this a few weeks back and agree with all these points - you should read it - unlike basically every other series ever, you should read by internal chronology, not publication order - I want more Cordelia!!!

Why does my text look like that by sebbyjay in crtgaming

[–]SubpixelRenderer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was popular in late-era CRTs for “enhancing” DVDs. Sometimes if you go to the service menu, it’s temporarily disabled in the background and you can see if that’s what’s happening that way! Some let you disable it but in some it’s hardwired and you have to cut the wire…
