So they meet in the middle at Actraiser?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

I have not heard that name in a long time. .... Long time.

I still whistle the music every so often.

I've never even heard of Terraniema (? Kinda hard to read that font).

Is it any good?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (4 children)

It's considered to be the best game in Quintet's non-god-game trilogy (Soulblazer And Illusion of Time/Gaia being the other t'o games).

It is really good, but has its' unfair moments. Great music, too.

It’s Terranigma, it never got a North America release so not well known there. I’ve never played it but I hear it’s pretty good.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Terranigma, very cool game

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago (7 children)

Until the other person pronounces it sness instead of s.n.e.s.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I find both acceptable, but s.n.e.s to be too complicated. Somehow, "Super Nintendo" rolls off the tongue for me.

There's also "snezz" and "Super N.E.S.", Along with all the other permutations of pronouncing NES, lol

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Okay wow rude. How I say it is my bizsness

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You've made an enemy today. We could have been friends.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

You'll never be rid of me 🙂

True true. I did think that everyone liked DK as well but I could be wrong

Fine. I’ll do it myself.

They're both correct.

Hook up the old super nintendo and start asking questions like "Hey did you ever play Lufia?"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Lufia? I rented it from the video rental store back in the day. I never finished it, but I enjoyed the game.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

So, Lufia is a LONG game. It's got fairly limited graphics and sound for a SNES game but it packs in a lengthy quest. It feels almost wrong to offer that one as a rental.

stop trying to find someone who likes what you like and hates what you hate. try to find someone who you enjoy anyway and treats you well.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I say this as someone who never stopped looking until I found a gaming buddy in a partner. When every night is a date, lan party, and sleepover all at once... I certainly can't tell you what's important to you, just never settle.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

100%

It's also nice to have shared interests. But I have friends to chat with about the latest Final Fantasy game.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

You can't really decide what others want in life.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Sometimes it’s better to have different tastes. My ex and I liked the opposite flavors of gummy bears. It was so convenient. lol

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Yeah, but the end wasn’t gummy bear related. lol

Sometimes the universe has other plans.

That crying you hear echoing through the ages is the sound of Superman 64 and well-intentioned grandmothers ruining Christmasses all across the world.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nah, the Spiderman/Venom SNES games were where it was at. Never owned them, but spent lots with Blockbuster renting them.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Agreed, that game was awesome.

Superman 64 was famously bad. It's in the conversation with ET for worst game ever made. And because it was bad, it was quicky discounted, and a lot of people who didn't know how bad it was gave it as gifts.

Mega man X soundtrack lives rent free in my head, along with the first scene that crushed me as a child.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

This is 2, not X, but you might still appreciate this live play. https://youtu.be/MUHlVdqRlPA

Love seeing Terranigma here. Such a great hidden gem. If you're a fan of Secret of Evermore or Illusion of Gaia, check it out.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Have I got this straight in my head:

Illusion of Gaia was the second in a trilogy: Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia and a third one that wasn't released in North America. And was that third one Terranigma or a different game?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Sounds right to me. Thanks for reminding me about my abandoned Soul Blazer playthrough 😬.

Edit: Shout out to Enix being awesome before the merger.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Soul Blazer is a melancholy game. You start it up and the world has been emptied of beings, throughout the game you restore beings to existence, and yet it doesn't cheer up.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

It was Terranigma.
