I enjoy things. Like #KingsQuest, #QuestForGlory, #Shantae, #ManiacMansion, #MonkeyIsland, #FinalFantasy, reading books and fanfics, knitting, swimming, listening to people talk about things they love, #History and research. Ramble at me as you will

Oh my god, how didn’t I know this existed? (Nereid here)

I just never got into 2 because I need subtitles. But I should try, it sounds great fun

It’s cold and snowing outside. I want to stay in and read. I have games to play too.

This is incredible.

Same. Discworld was such a comfort for me.

Definitely. Lucky to live in an era with that kind of creativity.

Yes please, I absolutely love worldbuilding.

It is, good catch!

Yeah, I don’t even like public bathrooms. I go there, do my business and leave. I don’t even want to talk really

@ebornian.bsky.social Look!

Oh definitely. It’s why I replay them regularly.

That’s why I don’t finish games much.

I had to buy a distraction device with more storage because I filled it up with books.

Despite my best efforts, sadly.

The world needs Granny Weatherwax.

I cried when Terry Pratchett died. #Discworld was such a big, wonderful part of my childhood.

That’s what I keep telling the doctors when they ask me about pain. It’s not the same scale for me as someone with no disabilities.

This video does mention a finished remake of #KingsQuest IV, same graphics but a lot of other improvements. Seems like it’s the graphics update fan remakes that are cursed.

According to wikipedia V was the first VGA King’s Quest. But IV was more complex than I-III, with the day/night cycle, and sound card support

Customization in games really led to me not finishing things because I spend more time on character creation than actually playing, heh.

Then there’s #HarvestMoon. I played so much of Mineral Town. It started me on loving farming games. #FieldsofMistria does scratch that itch very well though.

Now for some very different games. #AnimalCrossing, which I started with Wild World. I have way too many screenshots from New Horizons, heh. I’m still surprised when I see Wild World screenshots these days. I remember the game as so beautiful. I think they had character.

Can’t forget how much I loved #Castlevania and #Metroid either. I was terrible at them, but I kept trying. Starting with Zero Mission and Simon’s Quest. I used to watch Let’s Plays and dream about getting my hands on more of the games.

Favorite tactics games. Loved the story so much. The other favorite is #TacticsOgre :Knight of Lodis. Never found anything else that scratched that itch quite as well. I’d love to be able to play it again.

Can’t forget about #FinalFantasy either. The first one I played was IV, but the one that really caught me was VI. I cannot stop loving Terra Branford, it’s her I think of when I hear the name Terra.

And then I discovered Final Fantasy Tactics. Another one I played for hours. One of my two…

22.11.2024 15:12 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

And Leaf Green, plus Silver and Gold, but my favorite still is Emerald.

Actually quite liked Sword and Shield too.

Then I discovered #FireEmblem, which I’m not very good at, but loved nonetheless. Played it to pieces. Still have a very soft spot for Lyn.

I can go on about games for quite a while apparently. Console games here.

Now, my first #Pokemon game was Sapphire, Ruby and Emerald. Used to play at the physical therapist’s, while on the exercise bike. At one point I actually got a shiny Treecko while on that bike.

Later on I played Fire Red..

Than many of the first 3D graphics games. I thought they focused too much on looking fancy and not enough on mood, storytelling and character.

So I’m really happy #IndieGaming is a thing, many are good at capturing the feeling I got from those old days.
