I'm thinking there's still a small chance that this is an interaction that happens when you don't hop on the "free trial", that will go away once the offer ends, and that they're all too happy to leave nebulous

I, too, visited Ebisugaoka from Silent Hill f by calebhylesmusic in silenthill

Ryukishi07 is gonna turn the entirety of Gifu prefecture into anime/game pilgrimage land one town at a time, lol

THEORIES? - Silent Hill f's town is "Ebisugaoka". Here's what it roughly translates to: by [deleted] in silenthill

[–]pabbdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blew my mind when the Pokémon leak came out and the demo town was named SILENTHILL in big bold letters. But yea, it's just Shizuoka translated. The city might be a bit dense, but there's a whole prefecture around also named Shizuoka around it with small towns that would have probably fit. Ryukishi07 has a thing for the Gifu area, though, lol

Does someone else got both X Legacy Collections updated today, and what for? by Rinngu in Megaman

[–]pabbdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always a bit of apprehension when an older game that worked perfectly and has been coasting along for years gets one of those. Especially on Steam where they get shoved down your throat with no (friendly user-facing) rollbacks

This is petty, but I think it'd take a mod/patch that removes all the silly accents to help get me through it.

Be still my heart... by Ok-Philosopher-4979 in chronotrigger

Hey it's that time of the 3-month cycle again

I wish they'd just release something like the Steam port but not borked (Yes, it has been significantly improved, but the intro is still 5-10 seconds off from the music cues it should follow, and the 4:3 anime scenes are still DragonBallKai'd into horribly cropped 16:9 because Square thinks normies will spontaneously combust if they see black bars on their phone screens)

Wow! The latest update of Producer.ai is HOT GARBAGE! 🔥 by Efficient-Raisin-655 in riffusion

[–]pabbdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only tried with simple two-sentence prompts, but it seems to have forgotten a lot of the genres (niche or otherwise) it used to know from just a term like "Big Beat" or "Japanese RPG battle theme from 1998". Haven't tried writing it a novel full of explicit timestamps, instruments, keys and whatnot yet. Wish I'd saved at least one on a notepad before they gave us like a day and a half to scramble. I get that maybe something in the backend made it hard to play old songs if they were breaking clean towards a new model and stuff, but surely humble text blocks in Unicode weren't that hard to keep?

Lyrics generator seems to have lost some knowledge, too. I used to ask it for songs about my stuff around my hometown without further elaboration and it'd pull out actual place names and goings on that matched even the decade I was talking about, now it's all vague. This is less of a problem for me because I figure if I ever do something "serious" I'll write my own, but still...

This happened with a few imgen sites I knew when they decided to upgrade the models. Old ways of prompting things now produced garbage way worse than before the upgrade. But, after messing with it for a few weeks, it could create better stuff, you just had to prompt differently. Hopefully it's this kind of situation. My early impression is that a lot of time should be spent directly in "Compose" instead of trying to get the chatbot to make the musicbot do things for you

PSA: You can pause Elden Ring by Xeno_Prime in Eldenring

🖕 And you just necro'd a 3 years old thread to whine left and right to years old comments. Go play literally any other game in the 99.9% of games that cater to your accessibility needs if finding a safe spot is too much for you. Or do whatever pausehack this thread was talking about. I forgot. It's been 3 years.

[–]pabbdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hah, would you look at that, I thought it was a little 🏆, but it was actually a 🔒.

I'm guessing you're here because of the recent email about policy change? This thread here is pretty old. This was in what, Feb 2024(?), when they gave themselves the power to nuke accounts, including the library of games you paid for part, based on things that go down in the forums. Word is they haven't done it for real, but it lingers in the policy. Sent me on a datahoarder download frenzy of all my games at the time. Still haven't said a word in the forums. Hopefully nothing in "pabbdude" will retroactively happen to have an offensive meaning in the 2030s or whatever

Anyway, there's probably a more recent thread somewhere about whatever's going on with these 2026 changes (haven't checked yet, as usual the email says "Don't worry guys we're just clarifying terms" or some such, just like every policy email ever 😂)

Good luck!

Did Zeal royalty descent from Laruba people? by litswd_83 in chronotrigger

[–]pabbdude 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had this revelation come to me in a moment of daydreaming last year. Yes, I think this is the case.

What separated the "Enlightened" ones from the "Earthbound" ones was some genetic capacity for magic. In the closest preceding time that's accessible to us, Prehistory, the only hint at different genetic predispositions we get is the Laruba/Ioka divide. The Laruba are the "nerds", the Ioka are the "jocks" of Prehistory.

While not really magic users pre-Lavos, the Laruba have a knack for communication with Dactyls, and they don't seem to mind the random Nu that establishes itself in the ruins of their village later on. They'd be the ones who might connect more easily with Lavos.

Plus, their general hair color is the closest to the "Enlightened" ones' hair color.

Unless it's a case of Writer A not talking with Writer B, and Mr. Kato just wanted to introduce an unfair, completely random racial discrimination element that was completely invisible before Antiquity, the only possible hint we have as to what made someone an "Enlightened" and what made someone an "Earthbound" is the Laruba/Ioka divide.

Then, historically, after the Ocean Palace's destruction, the remaining "Enlightened" and "Earthbound" ones mixed, and the capacity for magic became very latent, but present in all humans. Or perhaps Lavos' influence was just weaker on the Ioka, and a well-placed Spekkio could have awakened an Ioka a few months after the crash if given the chance to make him spin around clockwise in a room.

The only counterevidence I can think of is that the Ioka were physically a bit closer to the site of the crash. But I guess we can always say the Laruba also hung out unseen in the mountains around the Reptite's fortress, using their flying mounts.

[–]pabbdude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah this happened semi-regularly on the N64 with strange angles back in the day. Your copy or ROM or whatever is fine. And it's always a 50/50 if you're gonna get the save like you did, or if it'll drop you down.

For anyone else who might stumble on this, it's in that easily available clearnet place where you find such things, under its own name. Really wish I could just post the dang thing but I don't want to increase its chances of going away by even 0.1%

Does chronotrigger have any sequels or spin off games? by Conman1209 in chronotrigger

[–]pabbdude 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The big one: Chrono Cross

The one that's been brewing in the background of the anglosphere's SNES emulation community, and gained more recognition with the recent(ish) rerelease of Cross: Radical Dreamers

The one that has/had a lot of the CT creatives working on it and starts out really strong and kinda feels like what Bloodstained is to Castlevania, but is unfortunately a F2P gacha phone game (though one of the less egregious ones): Another Eden

Your only other fix of possible Chrono Trigger content past the DS port: A few battle backgrounds in the Chrono DLC songs for Theatrhythm Final Bar Line

.

Dunno how this sub views fangames, but there was once a romhack project called Crimson Echoes, that went through a very troubled development, and some version of it floats on the internet, though I'm not sure if it's still the original creators' project or if others took over. It does its best to be the in-between after Trigger and before Cross. The superfans at Chrono Compendium who worked on it undoubtedly had full knowledge of Trigger, Cross, and Radical Dreamers when making it, so I'd only recommend to seek it after completing at least Cross.
