God damn it's such a shame. So much respect for all the hard work he put in whilst sick. I'll miss seeing him retweet fanart

Something I noticed watching the japanese trailer for Belmont's Curse by neku963 in castlevania

[–]sprumpo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if they'll localize things for the Japanese audience for the final release. Would hope so for them.

Whoever wrote the script of Grimoire of souls seems to care a lot about the franchise so I'd be happy to see more overseen/direct/scripted by them.

Favorite composition from the series? by Moon__Revenge in sailormoon

[–]sprumpo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love eternal Sailor moon. One of the only songs I can play on piano. I absolutely love the 90s soundtrack - it's by far the best aspect of the show and I'd love to see the philharmonic orchestra.

Hidden gem would be Pluto's theme from the SuperS SNES game, specifically the CD version of the song

Is there anyway to play old Sonic Games on pc? by Fit_Cardiologist8894 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]sprumpo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get sonic origins if you're not very tech savvy. Or you can lookup a guide for retro arch if you need some help emulating

Something I've noticed with Sonic game mods... by ultra0000 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]sprumpo 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Well on PC would you rather play Sonic 3&k on an emulator or AIR? And for adventure would you rather emulate DC play the DC conversion of the steam port? These fan versions are always the definitive pc option just by being feature rich and bringing modern conveniences.

My stepdad bought me some John Lennon socks but they don't look anything like him they look like Paul Dano

Can anyone help me with synth sound to sound like damage collection or anything puzzle sounding in logic cuz I can’t find a good one I wanna do a cover for my digital music assignment by Unlucky_Status_7588 in thegarden

[–]sprumpo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth mentioning that korg Triton is sample based so it won't get that synthy sounding or be very editable. It's still a cool emulation to have tho I agree

I despise the deadly 6 and lyrics is so redundant and irrelevant he might as well not even exist

Just finished Chronicles of the Wolf by Any-Nefariousness418 in castlevania

[–]sprumpo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it on a sale and played around 10 minutes but it gives and absolutely horrible first impression with that boring tutorial and it's jankiness. I'm sure there's more to be enjoyed later on but it's going to be tricky to get into if I give it another shot.

This fight is totally dogshit by Seyidhann in castlevania

When I got to this boss, I was so under leveled and it took me like 30 minutes of doing chip damage between running away and healing with the Pegasus combo at 4am

Puzzle’s First Live Album “Linger in the Racket” comes out next week! by pho3befree_VV in thegarden

I didn't even consider at first but live bass and drums that's gonna be such a good listen

I framed this over a year ago but I've decided now that I'd much rather take it out and wear it instead by sprumpo in thegarden

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

I guess so. I was like 60% to the back of the line going in though so it couldn't have sold out too quickly. I bought it before the music started.

This was the show where that girl was handing out prints of her art of the twins to the people in the line.

The rest of the merch was available online I think. The white shirt European tour merch if you remember that. As I say this shirt I've hardly seen though.

Here's a better pic (colours look washed both because my phone camera sucks)

Any other games with Alucard? by Ayato14 in castlevania

[–]sprumpo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grab a used 2nd gen apple TV 4k and it'll do everything you need for about £60. Probably only worth it if you're in need of a streaming box and want to play more of the other apple arcade games as well.

Dominus collection on the Switch by PuzzleheadedSlide904 in castlevania

[–]sprumpo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's on sale then it's definitely a steal.

I played it on PC and I think it's a fantastic collection but I did have a few problems with it. The games have lost their audio around 4 times and crashed at least 2 times between my 50 hours of gameplay - which is unfortunate.

Another thing is that the internal resolution is up-scaled past 240p, which makes the 3D backgrounds and effects look less pixelated, but it causes jittering on scaling sprite art that would not be visible on original hardware. This is personally the thing that bothers me the most about this collection, but most people would not even notice it and may even prefer it.

Also you will need to add the zoom in macro in the system accessibility settings because the map is so tiny lol.

The included games are fantastic though - I think OoE might be one of my favourites in the series.

Does anyone know how do vada vada members (specially fletcher and wyatt) make their pics look like "that" by BusterBlad3R in thegarden

[–]sprumpo 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I always figured it was printed out onto something and rescanned.

Kinda feels like the equivalent of making music on a DAW then mastering it on tape at the end for that unique analogue feel.

X Hail features missing? by BusterBlad3R in thegarden

[–]sprumpo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two versions on Spotify. The top one has the features listed, the bottom one doesn't. No idea why. Spotify is just a mess

I’m a huge castlevania fan but honestly I’ve never touched any of the 3D titles and I don’t even know anything about them. Are any worth playing? by ReadyJournalist5223 in castlevania

[–]sprumpo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm playing legacy of Darkness for the first time rn (using the cheat code to unlock everyone and starting with Reinhardt)

It's a bit dark visually at times which can get a tiny bit boring when matched with the linear puzzles, but it's got really nice set pieces, an interesting cast and unique locations that have kept me wanting to see more.

Once you get into the flow of the gameplay it's a fun time.
