Today's game is Viva Pinata. I spent all day doing some prep for the 2 year anniversary, and after all that I decided what better to do with my time then kick back, relax, and sell some Pinatas.

I got a sour Shellybean on my Farm (?) today. Have to say, not a fan of the way it changes. I think it looked a lot cooler before hand but that's my personal opinion.

I also ended up growing an Apple Tree, and then another, and another. Before i knew it i had like 4 of them. Not sure what i'm going to do with them, i wonder if i can sell Apples though to make some money.

I always end up feeling bad about selling Pinatas so that might be an okay alternative.

I also got a pretztail today, which i assume is meant to be like a fox thing. I want to get another but need a rabbit for it to eat before i can do that, so that's next on my list.

Speaking of what i want to do, I also want too get a pond set up. I think having one around my garden will be nice. So i'll have to start setting up stuff for it.

Overall a nice little break from all the action games i've been playing lately. It gives me some room to breathe which is nice. I think tomorrow i'll go back to Jedi survivor.

Viva Pinata is crazy fun!

I knew the game from the screenshot. It's forever logged in my brain in the folder of 'games I wanted to play but lacked the hardware'. I dunno if it's been moved off console as it's been many years at this point. Guess I'll go take a look.

And I either get to deal with defunct games for windows live issues, or emulator issues. I know which one I'm choosing.

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Its definitely some work. I managed to get a copy of MyAbandonware that at least resolved the Windows Live issues but i've messed with that before and it was annoying

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 1 points 2 weeks ago

Pretty sure it emulates fine. Same here, never had the money for it. I really should try it now, it's so fun

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 3 points 2 weeks ago

An all-time great.

My love for this game is immeasurable.

[–] Mikina@programming.dev 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh, that was my favorite game. If I recall correctly, it also was dubbed in my (Czech) language, which made it awesome.

I have to check if you can reasonably play it on PC.

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You can! That's how i'm playing it. There's some finagling with the Launcher since it's ancient, but once you get past that it runs smoothly

[–] Mikina@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Are you playing on Linux by chance? I did finfld a few Windows guides, which I assume would ve easier due to Windows Play whatever, but it also sounds like it would make it hell to set up on Linux.

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I am! Been Linux for almost 4 years now and proud lol. I'd have to look up the exact steps i followed but as far as i remember they weren't too bad. But also the version i got off MyAbandonWare irc was a Repack with all the extra stuff scrubbed off.

The main roadblock i remember was the launcher. It just doesn't work under proton, irc it was easy to bypass though

[–] Mikina@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Awesome, thanks! Managed to get it working, and even found a version with the Czech dub, so all is good! Thanks for reminding me the game exists :D

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Awesome! I hope you enjoy it too. I have fond memories of it growing up so I’m always happy to help out others wanting to play it

[–] rottenmummy@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Are you thinking about streaming those sessions? Some of these games look interesting and I would like to watch. Please don't feel any pressure to do so.

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I have actually wanted to do streaming, but as like it's own thing entirely. If i do end up doing it i wouldn't expect it to be mentioned because of that separation, but i wouldn't at all be surprised if someone managed to track it down based solely on how the games line up.

The major issue i've run into with streaming is setting up my mic. I can never feel like i get the right setup with Easy Effects/OBS to make my mic sound good lmao. I really just need to sit down and look for some guides

[–] rottenmummy@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

Best of luck

[–] M137@lemmy.today 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This is the 5th day in a row that I see Viva Piñata mentioned somewhere, had completely forgotten about it for many years before this. Never played it, might try out a 360 emulator and see how it runs.

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

There's a PC version of the first game out there you can get that's practically abandoned. If you know your way around Proton it runs perfectly with a little fiddling, albeit capped at an odd resolution. The sequel also has a PC Decomp but i could never get it to work on Linux
