     > Wonderful little game.
     
     It's definitely my favorite Game Boy game ever. Loved it. Still run through it every few years. Recently stumbled on a speedrunner's guide and it looked like a fun way to do it. (Guy only cranks up Wisdom and Will, apparently the combination is overpowered enough.)
     
     > The remake was very fun too - though I am in a minority on that opinion:
     
     The GBA one, I bought when it came out and I spent ten minutes excited, then a few hours horrified, after which I removed the cart and gave it to the first friend that would take it off my hands. I think the last straw was the colored orbs, like..."We have taken a cool game mechanic where to get past the trees you need an axe, and turned it into colored orbs that go away if you have a sickle." I think I could have enjoyed it if I hadn't played the original, but the remake felt like a downgrade, then to top it off, "You're not the hero of legend and there is no sword, the important thing is you believe in yourself". (With the GBA turned off, I am already a guy that believes in himself but is not the hero of legend nor in possession of a magic sword, and it doesn't require me to burn through AA batteries.)

     @Jojothegoodperson @SilverDeth @redneonglow Yeah, artwork seems to have degraded over the years. Even with the technical limitations, a lot of these games looked amazing. But when you've got a main character that is 500 trillion polygons, the tendency is to recycle heavily within the studio, a lot of games have lost distinctive visual styles.

     @Jojothegoodperson @SilverDeth @redneonglow You gotta just roll with it. It's like watching a movie created before special effects were 100% digital and everything started looking exactly the same. You get a sense of different art styles. Like, character design in FF6 is very different from character design in FF5, but FF8 is not much different from FF13.

     That's actually very interested, what I did though is that I got a cheat thing on my laptop, and in order to for that to work, I had to opened up a process (the game itself), for it to work. And yeah this is the most recent remakes that I pirated, because the games are expensive af on steam

     @Jojothegoodperson @redneonglow @p Two.
     
     Every stat grew and/or decreased based on what you did. You wanted high defense and hit points? You had to let monsters beat you nearly to death. Every fight. You wanted to have a lot of magic points? You had to spend hundreds of MP - and you might get a small mana increase.
     
     Your spells - they started out garbage - you had to level each spell up to 17 by chain killing monsters with them. There were about 100 different spells.
     
     Want to be good with a weapon? You had to murder a million things with that weapon type. Want to be strong with a shield? You had to spam the guard command for hours on end to build your skill with it.
     
     Except ultima. It's power was based ALL of your weapon masteries, all of your mastered spells, the combination of your stats and finally, your levels. It was either an abysmally weak spell that was joke-tier or capable of erasing the final boss faster than the (bugged) blood sword if you had spent the requisite months of time maximizing the user.
     
     Did I mention stats atrophied if you didn't use them every so often?
     
     They never revisited this type of character system - and it was almost as hated as the Junction system in Eight.

     @Jojothegoodperson @SilverDeth @redneonglow Chrono Cross is a strange game. It is half excellent and half lame. Very interesting battle system, very interesting spin on the ending to Chrono Trigger and some parts of an independent plotline, but then there was a bunch of horseshit. I think part of it was that FF7 was a huge deal (imagine the amount of hype Cyberpunk 2077 had), Chrono Trigger was one of their major hits from the previous generation, and Square couldn't stop over-broadening the scope of *everything* at that point. So the game was kind of half each of three good games and a mediocre game, too much crap shoved in, but still pretty enjoyable.

     Take the non-linearity of plot and the random chances for "glimmering" new moves of the Romancing SaGa games and combine them with the fantasy/sci-fi blended aesthetics of the GB SaGa games and the short-story structure of Live-A-Live. The result is SaGa Frontier.

     @lykanthrocide @redneonglow @Jojothegoodperson @SilverDeth I greatly enjoyed the Game Boy ones and Live-A-livE, but I did not play any of the other SaGa games. (I have a Japanese copy of Romancing SaGa. This might sound impressive, but basically when I was there in 2007, I rifled through the 50-yen buckets at the front of the shops in Akihabara, right, like the ones that are just a loose bucket of games near the door and if you buy one, the owner looks annoyed that you made him ring it up instead of just shoplifting.)
     
     Anyway, the torrent is a-rollin': magnet:?xt=urn:btih:A0774026C5F490C83E9964EB71B1984DB4F96EA2&dn=Saga%20Frontier%201%20and%202&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.opentrackr.org%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.stealth.si%3A80%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.torrent.eu.org%3A451%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.bittor.pw%3A1337%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fpublic.popcorn-tracker.org%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.dler.org%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fexodus.desync.com%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337%2Fannounce .

     @p @redneonglow @Jojothegoodperson @SilverDeth @lykanthrocide I was there in 2022 and it's all anime shit and maid cafes now. We found an alleyway with a few small shops that had radio equipment and electronics parts but this was the tiny minority.

     @sun @Jojothegoodperson @SilverDeth @lykanthrocide @redneonglow Did it stop? Like, there were old guys with fire-hazard shops built from particle board in alleyways, smoking and selling stacks of weird chips and diodes and stuff. Also there was a kebab guy under the bridge between the train station and the main drag. (For whatever reason, I always went the "wrong" way out of the train station and ended up walking around the station under that bridge, but for my trouble, I ended up with kebabs.) There were regular electronics stores, too, the video game shops and whatnot.

     There are phones now with 1TB expandable SD and 1TB native storage, for 2TB total. Wikipedia itself (uncucked) is 80gb. How many ancient and modern books and movies could be put in the rest? How much curriculum?

     @Jojothegoodperson @redneonglow @p Chrono Cross is a sad story. :/
     
     The problem with the "Dream Team" is that you can't get them back together again for act 2. You had different groups owning different parts of Chrono Trigger, and that caused... shall we say... narrative problems.
     
     Tthe team's vision exceeded their reach - and in creating a bazillion characters, they could not even hope to properly flesh them out - let alone conclude Janus and his sister's storyline in a satisfying way.
     
     Which was arguably the entire point of the game.
     
     Frankly, Magus should have been the main character of Chrono Cross. But I think there were legal problems and nobody kept the dev team in check and on track for what the game was supposed to be.

     @Jojothegoodperson @redneonglow @p The story falls apart and legal wrangling prevented the requisite fan service and a satisfying conclusion to Crono Trigger's last dangling plot threads.
     
     I would not call it "horrible." The team was talented, the effort was there and the mechanics were sound. It was simply mediocre compared to its predecessor and didn't accomplish what it set out to do.

     No, I just use man soap because I am a man. Also Head and Shoulders or generic, I have a giant bucket of single-razor disposable Bics, etc. Man stuff.
     
     (Seriously, had acne as a teenager that went away immediately after I stopped using extra-scented boomer-style soaps and shampoos that were around the house and picked up grandpa's habit of just using the orange Dial bars, which probably seemed like a luxury to him, since he grew up on lye soap. All of those smell-chemicals turned out to be either cancerous or hormone disruptors, so I regret nothing.)

     I do not have much regard for the education system.
     
     The question of whether it's worth trying to cultivate an educated population versus whether our education system is good, those are different questions. Learning to code outside school did me more good. The main things I got from school were bad habits, completely malformed expectations about the world, a severely skewed idea of history, and misanthropy.

     I guess the group I'm specifically discussing here is the ones who think reading is for nerds and have no interest in learning or education and the developmentally challenged people who don't benefit at all from the extra attention. It's not going to change their lives in any measurable way.
     
     Seeing the budget expanded year after year to bring up the bottom 5-10% instead of creating opportunities for people who have the potential to make a real difference and could is a waste of resources.
     
     Too many people I grew up with developed a bad taste for the education system that kept them from pursuing a serious goal in life. People who could have been community leaders if they were motivated and encouraged properly.

     @epictittus @SilverDeth @p @Jojothegoodperson @cunt @redneonglow I've been pushing this point for a while now. We have the sum total of our species' achievements and accumulated knowledge at our finger tips and the general public is just as ignorant when it comes to life skills and understanding the natural world as they've ever been.
     
     Knowledge only has value to those who can actually interpret and apply it.
     
     Every half-tard gets a TA (teacher's assistant) that pushes them through each class. For what? So an 80 IQ meatbag can graduate with the same qualifications as the average kid? $50k/year for each of these TAs to make sure Gump-tier intellectuals have high school diplomas that qualify them to be door greeters at wal-mart.
     
     We don't have a lack of information. We have a misguided approach to uplifting our youth and making sure each tier of aptitude has a reasonable chance of achieving their potential.
     
     I realize this might be a little off topic since you were discussing video games but if we could use technology to categorize and motivate younger minds into classes based on mental capacity rather than age we'd see a major surge in competent and committed young professionals.

     @MetastasizedHeroicism @SilverDeth @p @Jojothegoodperson @cunt @redneonglow Its a curation problem. Before the internet, every piece of knowledge passed through 1000 people, was time tested over centuries, and was distilled into the simplest and easiest to understand fact.
     
     Now that same fact is hiding on page 200 of a google search, on a russian language website where you have to click away 11 porn ads to get to it, then translate the fact back to english.
