  • 3DS.

    Though I didn’t have many - GBA, Wii, 3DS, and now Steam Deck. The Deck is much better in a vacuum, but the 3DS just offers an experience you couldn’t get via emulation or ports. Even if it’s just the dual screen, it looks better as seperate physical screens than what emulators do on single display devices.

    With the Deck, I just got it as an alternative to buying a new gaming laptop. Years from now, I’ll be able to replace my SD with another Steam, or even non-Steam handheld PC, but once I lose my 3DS and functioning second-hand ones run out too, that experience is gone, and even 3rd party emulation machines will probably lack features.



  • The thing is just that this started with a Psychonauts 2 character, and I haven’t played it, so for all I know maybe it makes no difference. But I assume constant telekinesis is at least somewhat inconvenient in that world. What about someone like Toph from Avatar TLA, whose blindness is acknowledged occasionally, but most of the time functions fine?

    A question might be, how do you define a sufficient amount of limitations? I’m sure there’s a point where everyone will go “yeah, you may as well be healthy”, but I assume most situations are a grey area. But I’m also neither disabled nor have experience with disabled people, so I’m probably the furthest from judging.

    Also things like, how that magic carpet would be even more useful for a fully functioning person, even with a large amount of uses. Still a disadvantage on the merit of being the only option, rather than being AN option.








  • You know, the weird part is? I got two followers, and one of them was a guy I messaged earlier when asking if he’d post his content elsewhere. (I mentioned lemmy as an option) Well, the profile was different - instead of being “XXX YYY”, the one that followed me was “Alternate YYY”, so I assumed it was an alt. He didn’t message me back on the old nor this account, and when I tried to visit it said “this account name doesn’t exist”. He keeps posting and is probably neutral about this whole thing, but it’s just, odd why he’d use an alt right then and then delete it or have it banned (maybe he promoted lemmy or protested on it, idk, I brought up lemmy in a post title on a smaller sub but it got banned by “the mods of r/sub”. My account is fine tho)


  • As much as I’d love to see that, I feel like it’ll just stay like it is. Same for other minor subs, since most of the quality is just the posts and what people decide to upvote, and most people just don’t care (unless they start posting demon r34 to protest, but they’ll probably quit after like 2 days like most of the blackout protesters)

    I guess we’ll see how many posters quit once 3rd party apps get the axe, I used the official app myself for a while so it might be a minority though.



  • SH2 was slow in both dungeons and combat at launch, which was my main gripe, but the first and especially the second were sped up in a patch, so it should be great now.

    I really liked the combat, it’s one of the best ones in the series. The main thing that makes Persona a bit less appealing for me its that the preset party members feel like they drag down this series’ potential, and SH2 making everyone a “wild card” makes it more like the main series. Maybe even more so, since you have not 3, but at least 4 demons to keep up-to-speed. And you can actually switch out without losing buffs, which I used a lot.

    That, and the bosses are generally designed to be dps races, which I thought was actually good and challenging since you couldn’t stack buffs or abuse Press Turns. Even if lazily implemented in the optional bosses (it’s just a party wipe after X turns the game doesn’t tell you about)

    The main problem of speed though means I didn’t feel like doing random battles, which means I didn’t have resources for cool upgrades, and also meant spending relatively more time in the boring dungeons. I hope the patch brought it at least to Nocturne-like standards.
