watching a video of someone playing an older game (not even THAT old) and constantly having to hear them go 'omg can you imagine how much more pretty and good this would be if it ran at 60+ fps with highest end graphics of the current modern games and in 4k???' over and over while also commenting on some graphics looking slightly muddy and how ugly and shitty 30 fps is
and i just cant help but get incredibly annoyed at that, cant you just appreciate the game for what it is?? the constant focus on smoother everything and graphics so detailed it looks faker than the real world is such a limited view on games- more polygons and higher res textures doesnt equal better ffs
i, and i might out myself with an unpoluar opinion here, but remakes are in my opinion often rather unecessary, just rerelease the old game, just make it avaible for people, officially, you dont have to reprogramm the entire thing!! maybe upscale it a little so it doesnt get stretched into a blurry mess if possible but even that i will work with no problem!! there are cases where its pretty much an entirely different game (FF7?) and i get seeing one of your fav old games get some new paint can be really cool, not arguing against that-
what i dont like is that those remakes replace the original as that isnt made avaible, only the new version- like i wish i could play windwaker on my switch, but i cant stand the "HD" remake of it and i know if it ever were to get ported it will only be that version like the original doesnt exist anymore
and my earlier point that many people consider more fps, more polygons, more resolution as automatically better
i dont need games to be running at 60+ fps, 30 is enough, sure id like it to run smoothly on that without huge drops, but when its stable 30, why would i need more? more often than not i prefer simplified graphics bc they often focus on the most important parts of what they are trying to achieve or work with an interesting style to compensate and i LOVE THAT, also id like to not have to download 100+ GB even when i would turn it on its lowest settings anyway, save me the space- and that is if i even got hardware that can run it at all, my computer struggles with slime rancher and i dont have the funds to buy the newest consoles nor computers
im not against remakes per se, but the fact that the old will more often than not disappear entirely and remain unavaible forever and that higher end graphics are automatically seen as better drives me nuts
#ganondoodles talks#random#sorry i got annoyed#was listening to jacks bloodborne playthrough and he kept going on about making it higher res and it reopened my old wound of#more details dont automatically means better#and how unavaible the original versions are#and how they bascially stop existing once a remake exists#just give me the option pls#its ok to like remakes but pls ... i want the option#bc rn i really just have to hope my gamecube and ww disc keep on working#and my TV too bc its the last of its kind that still got a scart connection#and once any of that breaks i got only emulation as a way to play it#and given how nintendo has destroyed botw emulation i suspect that wont be an option for long either#and that is just ONE game

silly shippy art to figure out this new pen.
(wacom pen finally gave up the ghost after 12(?)years and i am discovering that the old tip was vastly different than a new one)
#intuos 5. i still have my old beloved intuos 3 that i started off with as a backup too.#like kirbys and gamecubes it's the one electronic built like a tank.#gunter fire emblem#fire emblem

Vibes~
#finally got around to tackling my office and cleaning it up#since my monstera became inflicted with too wet in the humid basement#the crt and gamecube have taken its place in the corner and ahh#still trying to get used to the smaller space and the awkwardness of the furniture#but i’m settling in more day by day#gonna treat myself to an oot replay#its been a minute since i have

What if i went back in time and smashed your gamecube. What would your childhood game collection look like then?
#ask#anon#anon i grew up with the n64#so like. not much different? i wouldnt have TTYD or Sunshine or Luigis Mansion#but like. around the time of the gamecube. my family had the n64. ps1. ps2.#id still have played battle for bikini bottom because i had it on PS2 first#we also had a few other consoles but i dont have a proper memory of which my brothers owned. were sold. or were borrowed#because we had a dreamcast. i played sonic adventure 1 (appearently got to the casino. i remember the ring shaker)#we had an SNES at one point. played mario world and donkey kong country 1#we had a sega genesis momentarily before we moved around the time i was 5#i remember playing aladin. mortal kombat (dont know which one) and a garfield 2D platformer that had a haunted mansion level#or something#but the dreamcast. genesis and... maybe the snes. we had those before the gamecube#with the n64 my main games were mario 64. banjo kazooie. and banjo tooie. and mario kart and mario party 2#ive still got almost all of my old n64 games. im missing my copy of toy story 2 and smash 64#my brothers owned metroid prime 1 & 2 for the gamecube so. i wouldnt have had that i guess.#iirc i got the gamecube for easter one year. i say iirc because i remember specifically getting Mario Sunshine#and the gamecube mightve been paired with it but i was specifically excited for mario sunshine#i woke up to follow like. a trail of starburst into the basement (its our secondary living room) to find the game and console... i think#so i forever associate Sunshine with starburst. idk if it was intentional or not.#starburst fits really well for the few times that colourful goop pattern is used. like at the very start of the game#anyway anon you couldve just asked what wouldve happened if i didnt have a gamecube. no need for the violence.#also the gamecube itself plays a very small role in my childhood. like in comparison to the PS2 games that came and went in my household#anyway. thank you anon for the ask. i think.

my brother can make me laugh without moving at all. he can make me laugh on command, just by existing, and there is no physical tell or indication that it is about to happen. it’s like he can will me to laugh and i will. of course we’re not telepathic, but we do speak in unison sometimes. we improvise like no one’s business. we could fool anyone into believing we are psychically linked. when i try to explain it, i sound silly saying it out loud, but i really CAN tell what he’s thinking. we exchange so much information just with a look. he can make me cry laughing and he doesn’t even have to move
#i miss him so much i need him back i need him to live next to me again. i need to mooch off his wifi from my porch and invite him over#i miss him so much.#he’s only 2 minutes younger but he feels years younger. and yet i think we’re two halves of one soul#i’ve always babied him not even in a mean or diminishing way but i felt this need to protect him#because he tends to be so naive and so shy#but. i am so proud of him. i need to show him off to everyone and i need everyone to understand how funny and charming he is#it feels like i grew up and left him where he will remain 11 forever. i miss him more than moving back home can fix#i miss him in ways that have nothing to do with the distance between our locations#but. it would certainly help to be able to see him every day#i keep smelling the carpet in his room and it’s so vivid. i remember the countless hours we spent developing huge wood block cities#and we would drive hot wheels over the wooden raceways we had made. we were actually quite coordinated and autistic about it#we were always building things together#just recently me and him talked on the phone about an old mlp au we came up with. all original characters and shit#it was super extensive and very clever#i STILL think it would make a really cool book series or something#i remember watching him play army men RTS gamecube on the wii. i STILL listen to the soundtrack to that game like…. daily#i remember walking into my room once where he was watching a show. and he was crying#and he NEVER cries over tv#but he was crying because his favorite character had resigned from the organization that the series was based around#and he was so distraught that she was leaving.#i remember when all 3 of us slept in one room. i remember when me and him were in bunk beds across the room#and we would sneak out of bed right as the parents left and stayed up playing by the light of the nightlight#the way we raced back into bed when the parents were approaching 😭#my mom always says she’s sad that i seem to remember so little of my life. like every story of my youth is news to me lmao#but i feel like i remember the most important parts? i think so#i remember how mom woke me up in the night to ask me to roll over because my bro could see my face from where he was sleeping#and he was scared because there was a weird shadow cast on my face that made it look like a skull which was making it hard for him to sleep#it was. so funny. i begrudgingly rolled over#i don’t know. it’s just that there isn’t a single instance i bring up that my brother does not also remember.#no matter how tiny or specific. we shared everything growing up

#taillow#i do believe this was the first “normal/flying route-1 bird” pokémon that i ever saw. probably. i still don't know which pokémon game was my#first one between colosseum‚ diamond‚ and sapphire. all of which i still have the physical copies of to this day‚ but none of which still#have their original save files remaining on them. so i can't check the dates‚ otherwise i would#but my first pokémon game was One of those three. maybe i could ask my mom. like‚ hey‚ which one did i get first. maybe she'll remember#‘cause we always played pokémon colosseum together. she ended up thinking that that was the core series and the ones on handheld were#spinoffs because she thought the core series would be on home console. oh how naïve she was……#ok i've texted her and asked her. i'm gonna add this one to the queue and start writing the tags for swellow while i wait for her response#and i'll come back and edit this one with the results. see you then#hi! i'm back. final verdict is that i got the game boy much sooner than the gamecube. i didn't know that but now i do. she got it at#a yard sale‚ so it came with a bunch of games on it‚ which is how i ended up with pokémon sapphire. thus‚ i played that first#however‚ i didn't get very far in it because the game i liked playing the most as a kid was tony hawk underground‚ which i also had#from the yard sale. and thus i remember pokémon colosseum much better‚ because i probably didn't even get to the first gym in sapphire#so that means this IS the first normal/flying route-one bird pokémon i ever saw. we did it#now i will take my meds

my inability to play mobile games nowadays is also a source of suffering as a person who loves rhythm games. i miss her (SIF1).....
#but 1) she is shut down <3 and 2) even if she was still up i probably would barely play because the game was getting.... messy#i loved the old UI but they kept like. adding shit. too many little red exclamation marks#but it was one of the comfiest feeling rhythm game mechanics i ever played#i need to find a rhythm game that really feels good is my problem. high key i actually do not like most of the project diva style gameplay#TOO MANY button inputs that are hard to read im too learning disabled for that#i did love project mirai tho. and i liked project diva X because the progression was less skill focused and more perseverance#i really dont like post ps4 pd i do NOT like those multi button inputs where you have to do like#r1 + square + circle + whatever and it like changes every time. girl i cant READ#i much prefer rhythm games where the inputs are simple and dont require as much thinking or reading#and its more focused on just how good can u hit those simple inputs#i really loved beat saber when i played it at a vr arcade once. but i do not have the space or money for vr rn LOL#i also have really enjoyed taiko. someday i'd like to try a peripheral. one time i played it on the dk bongo gamecube controller#to see what it felt like. it felt bad <3 but it was fun <3 <3 <3 <3#osu i havent really liked. although i do enjoy elite beat agents and oeundan. i think its the physically small screen of the ds#sometimes its fun to boot up melodys escape or audiosurf too. but id really like to try other games#when i did play mobage i was partial to stuff like sb69's three track system and llsif's 9 spot system#but i didnt like the way deemo felt.... the size of the visual hit boxes were TOO SMALL it always felt weird#flick notes sucked whenever i played a mobage tho. i have SWEATY FINGERS dont to this me#swipe notes are fine its just flick. also i dont like how hard they are to read similar to a lot of console games <3

For the ask game: 🌿 Favorite ost.
I had a really bad habit of playing without sound when I was younger to listen to the radio instead. I'm dating myself some but I used to play sitting by a karaoke machine to record songs I liked onto a cassette.
Having said that, Friends of Mineral Town would probably be my favorite? I just remember the most of it from my childhood. The sounds they had for the summer were my absolute favorite, and I still love hearing cicadas. I like A Wonderful Life, but it's mostly background noise to me.
#i still have that terrible habit to some degree#i dont play music anymore but still dont really listen to the music much#my favorite ost of all time is final fantasy crystal chronicles though#half the time i played that on gamecube was to listen to the soundtrack#sorry its not a great answer

i love that they have to keep using this disclaimer because nintendo fanboys are so fucking insufferable
#im also annoyed by people demanding a new console already.#you really should know by now that nintendo is not in the fucking console generation race#they failed miserably attempting to do so with the gamecube#why do you think they're gonna churn out new models like microsoft and sony. im actually glad they aren't#LET ME GET MY MONEY'S WORTH BEFORE YOU START PUTTING GAMES ON A DIFFERENT CONSOLE#THAT I HAVE TO SHELL OUT HUNDREDS TO PLAY THE NEW GAMES THAT COULD'VE BEEN ON THE PREVIOUS MODEL ...#looks at mhwilds#that shit could run on my ps4 pro with an upgraded ssd come on#at least now i have my beefed up pc but still.#hades.txt

Thinking about how my mother’s like 20 year old Gameboy Advance SP still survives to this day and got drenched in plant pot water and still works afterward and only really has a led light problem like holy shit bro is a fucking TROOPER
I wanna start bringing it around more, I did for a while but i didn’t have a good case to care it till I JUST FOUND ONE IN A DRAWER LIKE WHAT THE HELL HOW COME NO ONE EVER TOLD ME??? Its yellowed and i wanna clean it up but like damn its a good as case. Its a side zipper though i dont like that but like it does a good job keeping it safe. But that shit built like the nokia phone man. Also saw that there was like a hip clip case when you could whip it out like a fucking gun bro that was so cool i need one of those
I wanna get some stuff for my ds lite but idk if i should fix it up first cause…yall have seen it…its a little fucked up and most people say to just buy a new one than spending more money to fix it and i probably should but like the emotional value man. I cant replace it!! It’ll get jealous!!! But either way that shit need like some sort of protection cause that thing is HANGING LITERALLY HANGING ONTO DEAR LIFE
My retro gaming collection continues to grow, and soon i will radiate epic swag im telling you man imma be the coolest kid on the block
#localgardenweed#the weed is rambling#i am the most loser person you will ever meet imma be so fr#i do not have enough external swag for this man#im not peak guys…im sorry#but yeah that gameboy watched me grow up i spent days playing like the penguins of madagascar game bro I WAS COOKING#ignore that i could not complete it for shit and had 3 braincells but whatever#the ds was my right hand man cause ya know i played a part in breaking it by dropping it but i still loved it dearly#i have my gamecube and we already had the wii so like im pretty much set man#i think imma mainly focus on nintendo cause idk why not#im trying to get my hands on the cknd games rn but ebay fucking BANNED ME cause i wasnt 18 yet so#one more thing to do on my 18th birthday#thought about like a sega genesis or dreamcast but i dont play alot of games they made besides sonic and like#guys…i need to come clean#i suck ass at the classic sonic games#i said it#im sorry#I TRIED BUT MY EYES AND BRAIN ARE TOO SLOW FOR SONIC#I CANT DO IT IM SORRY#YOU KNOW HOW HARD I TRIED TO BEAT SONIC 1 AND CD AND 2 ON LIKE THE MOBILE PORTS#MY ASS COULD JOT KEEP UP#it hust wouldn’t be worth it im sorry#i play more nintendo games like obviously mario i ate that shit up#we were a nintendo family with the one sonic kid outlier aka me

GameCubes are $120+ and I'm not surprised by that but I still have no idea what a good price would be for one
#i would like to get one that comes with all the cables and a memory disk/card#We still have a gamecube controller laying around so I don't care much if it comes without#I was talking to my mom about my wanting a gamecube the other week and she told me that she regrets getting rid of the one we had#for multiple reasons but really I get it - we got a wii shortly after they came out (i think?) and it's compatible with gamecube games so-#-why would they hold on to it?

ugh, it's.
in the debate part of the class trial music, there's an overlay of like. indecipherable talking. and in sdr2, the very specific overlay of indecipherable talking, i know it from somewhere else, and my brain says it's from shadow something. and like. i cannot find it.
#musings#bandit#playlist#i'm gonna end up having to hook up my gamecube and it will#still not be a thing i can find#i'm LAUGHING about the mr. monokuma after class thing though#XD
