ok but where's super metroid?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

They have awesome games to show each other!

[–] [email protected] 67 points 3 days ago (8 children)

Fine. I’ll do it myself.

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

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

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.

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.

I love this game so much, can beat it on a single life. Really looking forward to the new Rita’s Rewind game.

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

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

I'm about to commit blasphemy:

Y'all can keep the Castlevania. I'll take the rest.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Simon is on his way to your castle as we speak.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Sorry Simon, but the princess is in another castle.

Aria's the best one, anyway

Suddenly surrounded by spears, pitchforks and one torch

I mean uh, um,... "What is a man!?"

spears lower

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I don't disagree with you. Symphony of the Night is exceptional but Aria and Dawn are so, so good.

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

They're both correct.

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