Nerd, Player, recent convert to Legoism, rapidly fluctuating between ingenuous and incurious.

Now's a good time to thank and apologize to Columbia House for my 12 cassettes for $1 buck. I never fulfilled my contract with you, for that I'm sorry, but thanks for keeping my freeway rock'n.

@Castlevania_EN It may or may not be a big enough audience to justify porting that alone, but Castlevania fans are some of the most fanatical around.

If you port stuff like this or The Arcade (or 64, Lament, Curse, Adventure Rebirth) to PC (Steam) you'll get some sales out of it.

@CleverIv You can skip everything after and including the "but". Any forced redirect or unskippable login/verification prompt which isn't purely of the CAPTCHA or equivalent variety indicates a site and company that is user-hostile.

Same deal if they hide prices or reviews.

@Button__Masher N64 isn't compressed enough.

[Runningflame286 @runningflame286]

The first game I ever asked for, one of the first to enthrall me on the SNES, one of the best to ever be released on the PS1, and one of the last to release on the PS3 before my father died.

It's odd to have a videogame franchise so deeply affect you, but kudos to Castlevania.

[Runningflame286 @runningflame286]

@surt_r Really liking the art, class+skill variety, and sense of humor so far.

Not sure exactly the point of stuff like speeding up rest, but I'm sure I'll figure out the impact of time on systems soon enough.

@T3chFalcon LG has fallen further than most companies. From a solid FirefoxOS-based/WebOS smartTV platform and near stock Android to whatever this is and entirely absent in phones.

It makes me miss when LG realistically meant Life is Good instead of Legally Gray.

@HardwareSteam There's the Steam Hardware Update I've been waiting to see.

[Runningflame286 @runningflame286]

That Steam Machine order is already aging pretty well, or perhaps I should say the other options are aging pretty poorly.

[Runningflame286 @runningflame286]

@WolfStarSonic Steam for new stuff, Evercade for old is the best way.

People are correct: consoles have no good reason to exist without physical media.

[Runningflame286 @runningflame286]

@eiresheep @CommodoreKazz I feel confident in stating that they've already sold at least an order of magnitude more of these today alone than they would've sold cassette decks in an entire year.

[Runningflame286 @runningflame286]

@RefractiveENT Apparently it's a more automated process than I realized.

Thank you!

@yano_gamedev Lufia: The Ruins of Lore has a relatively well-developed monster taming/battling component and an "ancient cave" (60 floor dungeon) prominently featured.

[Runningflame286 @runningflame286]

@Apogee_Ent Remasters for everyone? Been rooting for you bunch for years so don't keep us hanging too long.

[Runningflame286 @runningflame286]

@SteamDeckHQ There's very good availability for R7 8845HS/H 255 SFF PCs in the ~$650-750 price range, unfortunately the 780M is dwarfed in performance by even the RX 6600M and systems with discrete GPUs are much larger, much more expensive, or both.

[Runningflame286 @runningflame286]

Building a mini-ITX system with reasonable performance isn't exactly fun either.

The price is higher than I wanted; I'm still planning to pay it.

[Brad Lynch @SadlyItsBradley]

Kinda weird being a SFF (small form factor) PC enthusiast and seeing the comparisons of pricing between the largest Walmart ATX prebuilt against the Steam Machine

Is Steam Machine a good value? Nope! But SFF historically has a much higher price/perf cost compared to standard..

[Runningflame286 @runningflame286]

@SynthPotato There's a lot more people who will have to contend with the fact that they're actually poor. Computers were cheap for awhile which masked that, but unless China does for RAM and GPUs what they did for TVs and solar panels or the LLM space implodes they won't be for a long time.

[Runningflame286 @runningflame286]

@AMK_Mapping_ @nikitabier I don't always agree with you, but your contributions are certainly valued. You remind of @maxhietpas_ in terms of being knowledgable beyond your years.

Sorry you have to deal with so much BS, but I hope you decide to keep doing so.
