Legit though I feel like I was born to be one of those hardcore Lego collectors but I was robbed of that destiny by cruel reality aka Not Having Infinite Amounts Of Money
I think I'm gonna test out more of DAO on my laptop in a bit. It really didn't like highever, but I was also running other things and I have the settings all the way up. and like... my specs can handle that just fine. this is a three year old, bare bones laptop but the game is what, 14 years old now? but the HEAT! the heat's the problem. I don't want my computer to burn up, and it was reading VERY hot when I played before.
so... I'll close out everything but the game and speccy (for the temp readings). play windowed so I can see my temp reading consistently. and hope for the best. if needed, I'll turn down the textures a bit and see if that makes a difference.
if I can keep the temps in the yellow, then I'll eventually pull out a separate keyboard so I can play properly instead of on my laptop keyboard. if they get to even LOW oranges, though, I'll probably have to retire the game for good. T-T
look im not saying im going to grab every four-legged skylander creacher and draw them in a way that appeals to the wider public who isn't like me and thus cannot appreciate the horrendous and generally unappealing gremlin style of the source material. however -
got to the last zadornov mission and when kaz said "he removed his tracker we don't know where he is" I immediately looked up a walk through sorry baby girl there's no way in hell I could've figured that out
was watching a recommended video titled “tales of symphonia will always be best on GameCube” and was so happy when they mentioned this. like YES finally someone mentions how superior the GameCube’s intro theme is over the vocalized theme. this theme alone makes it superior to any other versions and nothing will change my mind 😌
same anon as before here. i find it refreshing that other people out there are willing to say out loud that all the kazumaji gets super tiresome. i enjoy majima a lot but find kazumaji totally overrated and so it is not fun out here lol. especially because the way fandom portrays the ship is almost never true to the characters at all (gaa gaa eyes, as you say). replaying the games is a good idea tho. i did that and my enjoyment for majima (and my other favorite side characters!) came back once i remembered what he was really like outside of fandom.
oh no yeah i totally get you 😭 i feel blessed to have known people from when i first got into the series who are as Over It as i am, but it still gets so lonely out here sometimes. i have some doodles and video projects i'd like to at least try to do at some point but i'm definitely going to replay y0 soonish (after gaiden maybe?) because it's been FOREVER and i'd like to have it fresher in my mind haha
dead souls is also a brilliant game for majima, people cry for a majima game all the time but i'm like dude we already have dead souls? he's in his fucking element throughout his entire gameplay segment, don't just ignore it because it has objectively terrible gameplay for the sole reason of "they tried to make a third-person shooter inside a brawler game"
