Well… Can’t get one of those now. :(

The FOSS community doesn’t need this kind of mentality. “Us reasonable users” really tells what you think about people with different lifestyles to your own. Quit being weird and fracturing the FOSS community. The Corpos don’t need the help

Hoenn is my favorite region. Emerald is my nostalgia game. What you say is fair and valid. Early game movesets don’t feel good at all. If it’s within your means, I would suggest trying Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire. It feels much better to play through. If you never want to see Hoenn again, then no shame in that. :)

I’m on a slow run through all the games. SoulSilver definitely is hitting

Thanks for that comparison :(

Can’t have my group chats leaked if I don’t have any!

Emerald holds a special place in my heart. Omega Ruby got me back into Pokemon and to this day is my favorite. I’m currently playing through every generation, but no other region hits harder that Hoenn

Earl Grey with double Bergamot. It hits so hard

Absolutely. It’s a little hand wavey, but I agree with the sentiment. If you mod the 3DS it’s an all in one solution. If you want the cartridges, I would start collecting the DS ones sooner rather than later. Heart Gold/Soul Silver and Platinum specifically. The 3DS games are still quite reasonable

Mod a 3DS and you’re off to the races. I just went through a spree of buying cartridges from each generation and I kind of regret it. The 3DS will play every game you want and will be cheaper in the long run. No need to buy a flash cart. Not trying to be overly pedantic but flash carts are still emulation, just hardware emulation instead of software.

Good luck on your Pokemon journey! Currently burning through SoulSilver myself

I’ve been craving Patapon! This is super amazing!!

Game bad because no sales is a weird take. Not really sure why you’re ascribing a “holier than thou” attitude to Yacht Club Games because I don’t really see it but different perspectives I guess. I’d argue comparing anything to Hollow Knight will make it come up short. That game is a masterpiece and it still only costs $15. You should try Shovel Knight. It’s not really a Metroidvania so the comparisons to Hollow Knight and Castlevania isn’t wholly accurate. If you don’t like it you could refund it. Disagreements aside, Silk Song looks like it’s going to be fire when it finally releases, but it’s been so long I’m not going to keep the hype up anymore Happy gaming, homie

Lowkey Wife material. That level of levity is super attractive

I got mocked and laughed at the last time I ate alone. Your mileage may vary :/

In the wise words of Warrior Poet and Scholar Randy Jackson, “That’s going to be a no from me, dog”

I love my S76 but she is not quiet.

So much room for activities!

Rocked a lot of Guild Wars 2 and Pokemon today. In Guild Wars, I just unlocked my Skyscale(Flying mount) and I’ve been cruising around my favorite zones doing some sight seeing. I also found my 1st Gen 3DS and got it cleaned up and updated.

It isn’t necessarily in the same vein, but I bought myself an Analogue Pocket and Pokemon Emerald for Christmas. No Battle pass. No 10 year olds telling me they slept with my mother. No slurs getting hurled my way. It’s a simple setup, but I’m loving every second of it. Plus, playing old arcade games is a trip I’ve got my laptop for Guild Wars 2, Elden Ring, and DRG when the mood strikes me. It’s a simple gaming life these days and I’m loving it :)

Nope. Don’t like that…

The most recent time I watched the TV version it was, “Yippee Ki-yay, my friend”.
