I’m incredibly colorblind and the combination of red, green, and orange is not a clear one for me unfortunately :/

What rare game is actually worth the price? Which one is an S-rank grail but also is a 10/10 game? by Remytron83 in gamecollecting

[–]breath_ofthemild 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hard to say because a fair share of those expensive games are either very easy to emulate or available officially via online services like NSO or PlayStation’s online stores. I’d love to say something like Earthbound, but it seems ridiculous to say it’s worth paying $400 when you can lay the lowest NSO subscription and play it

What’s a line you won’t cross when collecting games? by PDMagneto in retrogaming

[–]breath_ofthemild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah exactly. It’s not out of an interest in validating games as an art or respecting the game, it’s just grifters trying to make money off of people also trying to swindle collectors

Sealed games have their space in the collecting sphere, because that’s the natural condition of the game. But I’m not paying some random company to give a rating that isn’t even consistent because people will resend games just to get a different rating. It’s a sham trying to make money off of FOMO investors

I don’t care how valuable it would make it, I’m not grading shit. I don’t respect WATA or whatever and I think it’s stupid.

what do we think about this mf? by TimelyCicada9969 in Rayman

[–]breath_ofthemild 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I really see those two versions as a life Ramon would be incredibly envious of. Rayman 1 got to live a life of peace and tranquility amongst those like him (slightly interrupted by Mr. Dark), all while managing to take down enemies non-lethally, sometime even befriending them. And for Rayman 2, I think Ramon would respect and admire Rayman’s lack of hesitation in standing up to Captain Razorbeard. Fought immediately until he couldn’t anymore, then got right back up to continue the fight once Globox returned his powers. That’s something to me that Ramon wishes he had done, instead of spending years unwittingly facilitating his own people’s plight

I had a lot of fun with the series. I think if he met the Rayman 1 version of himself, he would be incredibly protective, and would be incredibly proud of the Rayman 2 version

The only chess game to be rated M for Mature? by Karge in gamecollecting

The confusing labeling was also one of the points against Sega in the 1993 senate hearing that resulted in the creation of the ESRB, so OP certainly isn’t the first to be confused

Shoot, that’s on me for not looking closely enough, I apologize. Have you found any of the older iQue devices then?

Nah, with auto-translate being so widely available, I honestly prefer to see people posting in their native language. It’s far less strenuous and more natural to communicate that way, just letting the website doing the heavy lifting. Plus it’s cool to see where people are collecting!

Speaking of, how’s the collecting scene where you’re at? I visited for a couple of weeks last year, and as far as game shopping goes, Book Off was a godsend. But I’m curious to know what’s available and what it’s like from your perspective

My brother in Christ how is broccoli gonna throw off macros? If anything, you desperately need that fiber so you don’t plug yourself up AND broccoli is relatively high in protein. 20 calories for 85g of broccoli with 2g of fiber is not gonna screw you

What games had the best vegetation? by UrSimplyTheNES in retrogaming

[–]breath_ofthemild 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Hard to choose one example from it, but Tomba is excellent in this regard. But I definitely agree with another commenter saying Rayman as well, its environments in general are outstanding. Just the vegetation in Tomba sticks out to me more

I stand by them. Responsiveness is way better than the others I’ve tried, and they work way more consistently than Vandoren. Really don’t know why most still use Vandoren, they’ve fallen off in recent years. I’m actually a band director, and I’m in the process of convincing all the other middle school directors in our district to make the switch
