They haven't really deviated from an established formula that works for the game imo.
Now to go wash my mouth out.

Not really a fan of the romance side of it. It feels like the sort of thing that you would do completely wrong without knowing how it works ahead of time.
I started FE on the GBA as kid so I can attest it definitely holds up.

Most of fire emblem is still only released in Japanese so emulation is the only way to play them in the west. They really need to remaster these games. Though I feel most of the player base is more interested in modern fire emblem waifu simulator so I understand why Nintendo might not think it's profitable

jinsin Link ParentGod I wish they would make more games like Half Life Alyx. I understand its not a money maker but damn was that game immersive and fun, a truly unique experience I will never forget.God I wish they would make more games like Half Life Alyx.

Comment on What would cause moral panic if invented today? in ~talk
jinsin LinkI had thought recently that if the chemical they add to natural gas to give it a distinct smell was added today people would scream conspiracy.I had thought recently that if the chemical they add to natural gas to give it a distinct smell was added today people would scream conspiracy.

jinsin Link ParentIts on my radar, but I'm cautiously optimistic about it. I have a hunch the lightning was let out of the bottle for all these OG blizzard devs.Its on my radar, but I'm cautiously optimistic about it.

I feel this way too. Tildes is scratching that itch for me sans the awkward meme culture we all secretly embraced while also looking down on it (looking at you nyan-cat esque humor). For the most part this space feels very reminiscent of late 2000s reddit, or at least how I used reddit back then.
I also think this phenomenon is all too terribly common across all spaces. Change is inevitable and whether its the platform or us that's changed, its hard not to look back and feel nostalgic.

Programming wise you could have these have to be children of the established groups, i.e: ~gaming.zelda, ~tv.theoffice. Has the double effect of name spacing, i.e: ~politics.canada ~finance.canada
Zaniest thing I ever did was prot pally with balance druid healing them. Load the pally up with improved thorns and keep them alive. Use ret aura, shield spike, holy shield, and any other damage return you can find. Places with tons of melee enemies will just melt. Doesn't scale very well into the 50s though.
