Going for walks on rainy days is great. I do it almost every time it rains a lot. Enjoy!

Interesting that you dropped Octopath Traveler. Maybe it’s the better choice.

I for myself have still been playing Super Mario 3D World. Got to the last world, finally. And yeah, the last level, Champion’s Road, is indeed very hard. I’ve already heard of it multiple times and yep, a real challenge. Not sure if I even want to continue. I guess it would be a great achievement to have beaten that level, but it’s not really that much fun to play a hard level over and over again. So maybe I’m just gonna stop here, with everything else at 100% exept that level.

I have also been playing Okami. The start wasn’t really that great, but I feel like it’s getting better the more I play. I’m still not really that far though, so I’ll have to see what else that game has to offer. I do like the paintbrush mechanic, it’s an interesting way to give the player more abilities the further you progress, and I’m looking forward to see what other ideas the devs have.

The artstyle is obviously pretty great, Okami’s visuals have hold up very well. It literally looks like you’re playing a painting.

Overall, I’m looking forward to playing it some more.

It’s such a shame. MK8 is turning a decade old soon. I just want a new MK. Fuck the Switch, man

I mostly agree with you. But really, the Wii U wasn’t that bad. It’s slow af, yes, but it’s still fun to use. More than the switch for sure. I’ve been revisiting the console a bit lately due to the Nintendo Network shutdown, and the funky menu with the music and the Miis still puts a smile on my face.

hey man, just wanted to say thanks for posting this! didn’t knew about the project before, so it’s cool that you spread the word.

Just downloaded the demo. Gonna check that out later. The game looked interesting in the trailers.

got the latter one from !mobilewallpaper@lemmy.world by any chance?

hey man, thanks for the upscaled version!

Man, still have to get one of those

Pretty cool design!

Have been playing the Ace Attorney Trilogy, Trials and Tribulations to be exact. I’m only at the second case, and it’s already pretty good. I love the storytelling and characters!

Haha thanks for your suggestions, I’ll look into it :)

And with CRTs, yeah, they can be pretty good. Of course, a calibrated CRT has perfect black levels, but that’s not even the best part. OLED and Plasma can do that too, after all. What I love about CRTs is the motion clarity. During motion, every display except CRTs becomes blurry. That’s the most important part for me. It makes a night and day difference for games.

I made a post about a high end CRT monitor here. This monitor can go up to 1440p or up to 160hz (not both at the same time, though). I love it.

And of course, a standard definition CRT is awesome for any pre HD console. They look awesome.

So yeah, I think we definitely lost something with the transition to LCD and OLED. I hope I didn’t get into to much detail here, once I start with talking about the greatness of CRTs, it’s hard to stop :)

Flashlights are an interesting one. I somehow ended up in !flashlight@lemmy.world and it’s definitely a unique hobby. I’m not sure if I’m willing to really join all of you yet, but reading the posts can be pretty cool.

For me, it’s probably CRTs, other display technologies and old hardware in general. It’s fun to tinker around with stuff. And playing games, be it new or old, on CRTs is what I live for.

I got back into Super Mario Odyssey, after like 5 years. Just felt the desire to play it again and man, does it take me back to 2017/18. Still just as fun.

I hope they’ll do a physical release too.

Well yeah, that’s what I just said?

I might have to pirate a game from the Wii U though they they won’t remake for the switch:(

I don’t remember Nintendo ever remaking a Wii U game for switch, and even if they port one over, the experience is only marginally better than it used to be

I did not 100% due to ridiculously hard shinespark puzzles

man I know exactly what you’re talking about, they were brutal
