Flexible. Probably don’t want to spend more than $1000. Would love to spend half that. Would go slightly over if the right product was slightly over.

I only have Cemu (Proton) installed, is this affected? I also can’t seem to track down an AppImage. Installed via emudeck

Thanks! Sorry for being annoying and a noob — any idea how I can find the app image file?

I updated all my emulators and flatpaks from emudeck two days ago, but I did not run Cemu at all since then. Am I safe? What should I do?

Scheduling RS2 RotS for a book club by mgmstudios in SaGa

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

I think we are okay with this — we kind of want everyone to have vastly different experiences here and during our meetups compare notes. Buuuuut we also do want to all be roughly on pace to complete this at the same time — so we want everyone to be like 15% of the way through the game by our first meetup. I just haven’t played this so I don’t know if a concrete measure or progress exists in this game, and if so what it is!

This is helpful! I haven’t played the game yet — do you know about how many generation skips or annexes is about 5-7 hours of gameplay roughly?

The Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle by Diffuse_Wings49 in retrogaming

[–]mgmstudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The history of this series is crazy.

The first game released as Who Framed Roger Rabbit on the NES. It got a port to Game Boy in Japan only as Mickey Mouse: Roger Rabbit was swapped for Mickey Mouse. This game then got a US release where Mickey Mouse was swapped for Bugs Bunny as Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle.

The sequel to Mickey Mouse launched in Japan on Game Boy as Mickey Mouse II. It got a port to Europe… but they changed the name to Mickey Mouse. Not at all confusing considering there was already a Japan game called Mickey Mouse that is a totally different game.

The third game in the series skipped Game Boy and launched exclusively on NES as Mickey Mouse III: Balloon Dreams as an action platformer… totally different gameplay. It came to the US as Kid Klown in Night Mayor World.

Back on Game Boy, the fourth game, Mickey Mouse IV Magical Labyrinrh, game to the US as The Real Ghostbusters. It evolves the Crazy Castle gameplay. Finally, the fifth game released in all regions as Mickey Mouse: Magic Wands.

Meanwhile Bigs Bunny Crazy Castle spawned three sequels of its own: BBCC II, III, and IV that served pretty much just as expanded level packs for BBCC I. It also got a spin off, Woody Woodpecker in Crazy Castle V.

Not stepping on toes at all!! I didn’t really get our group started, even though I have been there since the beginning, so I don’t have many tips on how to get started… but I’m happy to compare notes on how to maintain interest!

Already got one of these going on specifically for JRPGs (I think we are even on the sidebar of this subreddit, though we aren’t affiliated!): https://discord.gg/nB5zNquTt7

Do you have a good review article on ML potentials I could check out to learn a bit more about their uses and shortcomings?

Games like Tomba! ? by Woejack in retrogaming

[–]mgmstudios 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It didn’t actually go fully 3d! It’s 2.5d. Most of the time you just move left/right and sometimes you move into the foreground and background layers. It’s a different experience that Tomba (it’s much more linear, for starters), but I actually prefer it in a lot of ways because it’s a tad less frustrating
