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

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

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 7 months ago

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

[-] Buffman@lemmy.world 63 points 7 months ago

Fine. I’ll do it myself.

[-] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 3 points 7 months ago

I'm about to play the new retranslation once I finish with 7.

My copy did something weird and wouldn't let me get one particular hidden chest after the first playthrough. Heartbreaking.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Is it the one in the castle you have to ride on a Toad's head to get? That one's missable.

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 7 months ago

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 10 points 7 months ago

It was Terranigma.

[-] AHorseWithNoNeigh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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 7 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.

And are less filling!

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 19 points 7 months ago

They're both correct.

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

[-] cocobean@bookwormstory.social 3 points 7 months ago

Holy shit I haven't thought about that game in forever! It was hard AF as I recall.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I've never even heard of Terraniema (? Kinda hard to read that font).

Is it any good?

[-] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 9 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] Laser@feddit.org 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Maybe this was a localization thing, but interestingly, the game at one point kind of calls you a god (translated and from memory: "you are what humans call a god"). There are also multiple elements in the game that have religious themes: the protagonist's name, Ark, which I always linked to the story of Noah, as it's Ark bringing life to a world that was destroyed, death and rebirth etc. (possibly even thrice, the ending is ambiguous) - also the game is somewhat "anachronistic" to say the least. Also the translation of the Japanese title is roughly "creation of Heaven and Earth".

While the game is technically a bit flawed, story- and presentation-wise it's probably one of my favorites of all time. The subtly eerie setup with everything (e.g. the jingle presenting the acts' titles), man's "emancipation" from nature / Gaia, which arguably caused the catastrophe in the first place, the weird encounters - absolutely fantastic in my opinion.

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.

[-] shotgun_crab@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

ok but where's super metroid?

[-] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

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

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

[-] ChronosTriggerWarning@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

I'm about to commit blasphemy:

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

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

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

[-] ChronosTriggerWarning@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Sorry Simon, but the princess is in another castle.

[-] GhiLA@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Aria's the best one, anyway

Suddenly surrounded by spears, pitchforks and one torch

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