I miss a good ol' fashioned crystal version of my favourite consoles.

i just saw someone call ffxiii overrated like? what?? it's literally one of the most hated games in the franchise wym "overrated" 😭

#they've gotta be butthurt it got 3 games #also saw someone whine about how it shouldn't get a remaster bc ''other ff games deserve a chance'' and i was baffled #xiii and xi are the only mainline ff games that aren't on modern consoles what are you talking about!!!!!!! #i shouldn't be reading random men's comments on ffxiii omg it just makes me peeved lmao #final fantasy xiii #i gotta ramble real quick abt how we don't have a remaster yet actually #it bugs me when people act as if it's because ffxiii was some huge embarrassment for square and that they want to bury it #when it actually sold super well #and lightning became one of the most iconic protags in the whole franchise #not to mention that xiii got TWO SEQUELS that ALSO sold well #AND the combat system has influenced modern ff titles #square doesn't hate xiii omfg get real #but that does make it even more absurd that it doesn't have a remaster yet #some people think it doesn't need one since it still looks so damn good #but it's not really about that lol it's about accessibility and letting it reach a new audience (the pc port is too broken seriously) #something tells me it's because the crystal tools engine was so much of a pain to work with but idk they haven't really explained anything #either way it just annoys me when people claim xiii doesn't deserve a remaster bc ''no one likes it'' when that really isn't true #and calling it overrated is beyond insane

I beat Pokémon Crystal for the first time!

As i played through Pokémon Crystal for the first time, I simultaneously felt regret at not having grown up with the pokémon series and overwhelmed at how different the older games are!

I enjoyed the music and delightful 8-bit pokémon designs. There's something very charming about the overall presentation. Importantly, I was so happy to play as a female character! It was a lot of fun discovering this region for the first time, even though it was difficult at times to change my play style to accommodate this older title.

I have played games with HMs before, but I guess its been a while. And playing this just really feels like constantly having a doduo peck at your head... reminding you incessantly how annoying HMs are. Almost as annoying as HMs are the waaaaayyyy too frequent phone calls! I was happy at first to see a way to rebattle and earn more money and xp, but by Arceus did I not yet realize how often the trainers would call. It's so bad It makes me question if it was ever playtested at all. It's so disruptive!

This is my first game without the fairy type, and without experience share. So that's been a learning curve as well. I feel quite spoiled by the newer games in how much less grinding is required to have a decent team. Of course, I always support the players that want a more challenging experience, but for me... I don't want to go back to the grind fest lol. Admittedly, I had to spend a lot of time readjusting my team as I learned some differences with this older game, and that inflated my playtime. Fortunately, it wasn't that bad. I did a lot of mindless grinding on Victory Road while walking on the treadmill or watching documentaries, so it didn't feel like I was really wasting my time lol.

Given the tech this was originally released on, the chip music is delightful and the Pokémon sprites look great. The encounter music in particular stood out to me and some of the pokemon have such expressive little poses! I swear Graveler never looked cuter. Meganium didn't really serve me particularly well as my partner pokemon, but Sweetpea was cute so oh well lol. I always disliked Jynx, but I got a shiny Smoochum in my odd egg. She ended up being my MVP big time. Thank you, Belinda. I'm sorry I was ever harsh with you! Pupperoni the Arcanine also served me well. And Spicey Gee, my shiny gyarados was welcomed into my party as well. Ms. Pidgey was nice to have in a pinch, and Last Hope the Lanturn was a last minute addition to help with my battle against Lance. I actually took very little damage and never used any potions so I guess I did alright lol.

I have to admit I don't often dabble in pokémon postgames, but I suppose I'm not experiencing the full game if I stop now. So I will fight the urge to move on and see what Kanto has in store for me! Plus, I have to catch the legendaries at the very least.

I do have some complaints with my experience on virtual console. A lot of optional features in Pokémon Crystal were meant for the Gameboy Printer, and while obviously they couldn't support that, they absolutely COULD have tweaked those and other features to work on 3DS, including online trading. None of that matters now though, as Nintendo has shut down support for the 3DS anyway, but STILL. It is a bit of a bummer I can never complete my pokedex if I wanted to.

So with this Johto experience behind me, the only other region I have never visited is Unova! The next pokémon game I play will probably be Black or White!

--------

For clarity, my Kanto experience was Let's Go Eevee and I have never played R/B/Y or FR/LG. I own Red on VC.

My Hoenn experience was Omega Ruby, and I first explored Sinnoh in Shining Pearl.

In the future, I'd love to play SoulSilver and Platinum.

Hello terraria community

I managed to purchase terraria on my switch, and day one of being in the world, the guide watched me get killed by a purple slime and I still haven’t recovered

the best thing about dd2 is that it’s gotten people playing dd1 on switch so my pawn is actually getting rented every now and then

#which is HUGE #I’ve killed so many cursed dragons for rift crystals man #I’m so tired of them #i could just play on pc where I have stonks but I prefer console gaming so here I am

10 + 18 Any para!

[ ASK GAME ] || Thanks for the ask! These questions were really good for Harlow tbh. As a reminder, all MaaC stuff can be found on @madasacrow.

10.) Does your para face any kinda oppression within the narrative? Are they fighting this oppression? If not is your para an ally to a group and fighting oppression on their behalf? Does oppression play a key role in the narrative or is it more of a layer added to the narrative? If you feel comfortable sharing, what kinda oppression does your para or the group your para is an ally to face?

Harlow is a Witch. In MaaC that means someone who was given control over an emotion by 1/7 deities. Witches only became a thing after The Calamity, so they're still fairly recent and people aren't sure how to feel about them yet.

Not all Witches are an oppressed class. In fact, most are kinda beloved/have positive feelings towards. It's only those claimed by Ares, Hermes, and Phobos that are hated. And Harlow was claimed by Phobos (well. In the Faith Lives!AU. In Canon currently she was claimed by Pandora, but tbh im thinking of changing some things). People are scared of her solely because she can control Fear. She can make your worst nightmare a reality with just a thought. Terrifying? Yes. Does it justify the hate she gets on a daily basis? Absolutely not!!

There is a small community/coven of witches from the "bad"/unsavory Deities, as they're sort of the only ones that understand each other. Unfortunately, Harlow is the only person ever to be claimed by Phobos (her father [Lannie] & Henry Sinclair both use Shards). So there's only so much one can do in terms of...that. Still, she's very well known (probably because she's One Of A Kind) and one of the more prominent/respected members of the coven.

18.) Do you think your loved ones would be proud of or approve of your motivation and goals? Why or why not? Is what they think something that matters to you? Why or why not?

Harlow: My goals come from my father — he is the one that wanted to be the Master of Fear. So, to him, me helping/joining his efforts is a sort of family business. I'm unsure of my mother. Dad says she'd be proud I'm doing what I want. I don't know, I never knew her so I can't say. She died shortly after I was born.

Harlow: ...Anyways. I'm less included to be solely the lord of fear — just being a general menace is enough for me — but it makes my father happy and pisses off the Reverend, so I'll keep doing it for now.

I’m sort of unsure what to do next but also weird shit keeps happening in the game, I guess that surprises no one tho

First up, the Magnemites on the route are gone. I also can’t encounter any Pokemon by surfing, and somehow every single NPC in Goldenrod disappeared overnight, except for this one

It didn’t disappear after that, but I also couldn’t interact with it anymore. No idea what any of that really means honestly, it just feels like a bunch of disconnected shit

The other thing is this empty spot in my party

I mean it has to mean that I’m still missing a Pokemon right but I can’t remember what else I had. Suicune’s still gone so I can’t really ask if it has clues for me or anything either, I’ve checked everywhere on the map and it’s just nowhere for some reason

Idk I guess I’ll keep the game on for now? Not sure if I have a reason to keep poking around in it anymore though

#pokemon gsc #pokemon crystal #pokemon #if nothing changes like by the end of the week I think I'll turn off the console #because like I can't keep it on forever and idk if N64s are even designed to be on for this long #like inb4 it spontaneously combusts or something

Just turned on my 3DS for the first time in over like five years and saw that I had a virtual Pokémon crystal already completed decided to start over the game and wanted to get some input on my starter Pokémon and Gender

I feel like lately people are WAYYYY more critical of Johto but like I really could not care less I still think the Johto games are so incredible, even the original gsc I love those games so so so much

#'I couldn't care less' as in the criticisms even the ones I agree with don't ruin the game for me #I'm watching a video about a romhack someone just finished called Crystal Legacy #that aims to 'fix' gen 2 and it sounds a lot cooler than most other people's attempts to 'fix' gen 2/Johto #and maybe I'm speaking from like. a place of privilege in that I have two 3ds's #with the virtual console gen 2 games #so I can very easily (for example) trade myself Houndour #or get Steelix or Politoed or Scizor or Kingdra #which eliminates the factor of gen 2 having a limited selection of gen 2 mons #that you can actually feasibly use in a playthrough #but still even before they came out on vc I have always adored the Johto games
