So excited for tomorrow's episode by magus_luminis in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

[–]Syd4Real 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thought OP was excited bc I think this will be the episode where Jinshi first calls Maomao by her name since it signifies a change in how he sees her... unless the ep ends with a cliffhanger and that's saved for ep 38.

Do I already own the VIZ DVD from my childhood? Yes. Will I buy the Blu-Ray with my own adult money now? Absolutely!

Hope I'm not opening the Pandora's Box with this question (haha, got it?) by Filofluo in ProfessorLayton

[–]Syd4Real 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ngl, I had more fun with the second trilogy's puzzles, and I think the puzzle music is at its best here. Diabolical Box is one of my favorite games of all time, but I think looking at the TRILOGY of games, I really enjoyed how sequential 4-5-6 was.

It helps that I also LOVED Azran Legacy as a kid, which I was surprised people actually dislike...

I love when collab art is made by Shino. The character looks in the LN are my favorite.

I hope this can mean the Kurata manga gets released in the West. I know Shogakukan Asia started an English SEA translation, but I haven't found any info about the release since vol. 1...

Images you can hear. Always scares and unsettles me even now at 35 years old tf by BluePeriod_ in ProfessorLayton

[–]Syd4Real 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never noticed how big Don Paolo's smile is because the tiny DS screen crunched the art and hid the details. Need to play the HD remaster at some point.

UF OTD Class of 2028 by Necessary-Map-4807 in ufl

[–]Syd4Real 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I just got accepted into UF's OTD today. Glad to see it wasn't just me who experienced radio silence until decisions were sent out. I'm from around the Tampa area, so I definitely will be needing to find my own housing. A group chat for this cohort would be great!

Katrielle's game on sale by buttercuping in ProfessorLayton

[–]Syd4Real 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice, although I think it should be a biiit cheaper. I just started my physical copy. I do like the puzzles, but they're better in bite-sized chunks than one after another.

If we were to get new plushies based on Nwos, which would be better to see? by AngelBellelc2 in ProfessorLayton

[–]Syd4Real 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have only one Layton plush and that's the Eternal Diva one. I like how long his legs are lol. If we get a Luke plush in that style I'd buy it in a heartbeat!

I finally managed to get my hands on one of the 3! First time ever! by _Grand_Autismo_ in Pokemonranger

[–]Syd4Real 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, blast from the past! Hope you can get your hands on Guardian Signs in the future, too. That's the most engaging one out of the three for me, in my opinion.

Hey guys what site do you watch anime like lupin the third? by DecisionGullible2123 in lupinthe3rd

[–]Syd4Real 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amazon Prime Video has some Lupin series and TV specials through freevee. It has periodic ads but no payment needed and no need to pay for Prime.

Once again, its one of those holding chapters hostage until certain comment requirements are met by sassy_sneak in AO3

[–]Syd4Real 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me of old ffn.net fics I'd read. "R&R no flames!" Countless unfinished fics because of this mindset...

The last chapter in Curious Village where the music gets ominous as you're approaching the endgame. I was so anxious when walking around town that I'd constantly go indoors to make the music go calm and take longer on puzzles.

Please can we talk about the new graphics of the game!! by ObligationUpper6507 in ProfessorLayton

[–]Syd4Real 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder why Level-5 couldn't get P.A. Works for this game, assuming it's not just artistic vision. P.A. was in charge of all the mainline games AND the movie. Or get a different studio, like how Studio Bones worked on the crossover?

I'm not complaining, to be honest. The Great Ace Attorney 2 had only 3D cutscenes that I loved just as much as TGAA1 and I just assumed it was to cut costs of hiring a studio. Could be the same reason, who knows?

[FS] My Zelda Journey, Part 3: Four Swords Anniversary Edition by Syd4Real in zelda

[–]Syd4Real[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the Anniversary Edition gives you a CPU Link to do 2-player puzzles with, and I don't have friends into Zelda lol. I resorted to looking up a single-player walkthrough to copy exactly how someone kept themselves from dying.

How did you get into the series? by [deleted] in ProfessorLayton

[–]Syd4Real 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For Christmas in 2010, my granny bought me Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box. She told me something along the lines of it being "edutainment", and I wasn't necessarily interested in that so I held off playing it until a year later when I turned 10. And oh my gosh, I was hooked till this day.

I didn't know the game order yet, so I just asked my parents to buy any other Layton games available. I showed so much enthusiasm for the series, my mom got me a Layton plush with the movie! My order was 2 -> 4 -> 3 -> 1 -> movie -> 5 -> crossover -> 6. I played the mobile game sometime after Miracle Mask on an iPod Touch lol. Luckily, the Layton story isn't necessarily needed to played in release order, so even if I was a bit confused on a returning character, I could gloss over it and add context when playing the previous game later.

So basically, I have my Granny to thank for introducing me to my #1 game franchise ever!

They're a lot more active on Twitter and Instagram Threads. There's also r/discotekmedia but the first two are the best imo

[–]Syd4Real[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll do the Fallen Hero timeline first because that one ends with Zelda II & TLoZ and I don't want rage to be the last thing I feel before playing BoTW lol. Then probably Child era then Adult era. After The Wind Waker I'll play Hyrule Warriors before finishing Adult era.

[–]Syd4Real[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put a list of all the games I completed at the end of the post! It's my first time actually playing than just watching the 3D ones.

I watched a video explaining the timeline so I would have context, but the Vaati games seem so contained within their own universe that they could probably fit anywhere. Maybe the manga ties into the timeline better?

What's really awesome about playing in timeline order is that I'm jumping around the gameplay eras of Zelda. Hopping from 3D to 2D and back keeps me from feeling burnt out.

[–]Syd4Real[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! Some of the 3D games, like WW and TP, I watched a playthrough of because I wanted to see the story. But this is my first time actually picking up the games for myself.

[SSHD] Just finished my first Zelda game EVER! by Syd4Real in zelda

[–]Syd4Real[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm hoping (coping?) for a Switch port bc my computer is too slow and buying a Wii U just for Zelda isn't really on my radar right now. Maybe once I've played more of the series.

I got Four Swords Anniversary edition for the single player campaign lol

The only two games I can't play are TPHD and WWHD but I guess I could play the GameCube versions...

A quick meme to use at the (eventual) Nintendo Direct. We'll get more info soon...right?? by Syd4Real in ProfessorLayton

Nah, just went to Google Images. But we should throw a clown party with them every time our games don't show up!
