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.

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

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

Sometimes the universe has other plans.

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.

[–] S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 10 months ago

To a point yes but having nothing in common is tiring really.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

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

Fine. I’ll do it myself.

My brother and I split the SNES when it came out (presumably with money our parents gave us because we were just kids), but he got gifted Super Mario RPG. And he held that shit over my head, and we didn't get a long, and he never let me play, and so it kinda solidified itself as my favorite game of all time, because it had this forbidden nature for me.

Putting all that aside, it was just a well made game, great pacing, great mechanics. I got the Switch version and I'm hoping to get my kids into it, but it's hard to compete with the looks of modern games, especially since my kids are young.

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.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months 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?

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 8 points 10 months ago

It was Terranigma.

[–] AHorseWithNoNeigh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months 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.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months 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.

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

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

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Okay wow rude. How I say it is my bizsness

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

You'll never be rid of me 🙂

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ess Ness was always my silly way of pronouncing it, because there's Ness, for N-E-S, and if you add an S, it's S-Ness.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I accept sillynes
Thumbs up

They're both correct.

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

So they meet in the middle at Actraiser?

[–] Hellnikko@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months 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?

[–] brandon@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 7 points 10 months 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.

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

No Earthbound?

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't see a problem here, I've played all those games and every single one is a gem
