I can conjecture some things, though I can't be 100% sure on either:

First, maybe it's fanatics/fanboys that don't like competition making their platform less relevant. Second, it's paid actors complaining. Third, it's robot accounts making posts. Fourth, as proposed in the OP, people are getting the wrong impression due to noisy and problematic bubbles. Fifth, people being scared of leaving their comfort zone. Sixth, a mix of either some or all the previous possibilities.

The post title was a pun with the mod's original name, "T-Edition", and me insisting on playing the Japanese version despite still having difficulties with the language. But besides apparently increasing the main game's difficulty, the mod adds a ton of optional challenges, including one that, iirc, acts like FFV's mini dragon.

 

Playing Final Fantasy VI once more, now modded because I'd been curious about this mod for years.
Also, I know there's an English version of the mod, but why make it easier when it can be harder? e.e"

Regarding the mod itself, I get a feeling even normal enemies were made stronger, with how much I was getting "kicked in the spleen" (Paine: "...spleen?") during the tutorial boss. This will be fun.

 

Wasn't in the mood to play yesterday. But in exchange, was so much in the mood earlier today that I got to finish it twice (somehow), first with the secret character, and then with Marion, the girl in the screenshot. Great game, specially when you don't need to burn through the money ~~you were to buy dairy with~~, and glad I used a sturdier controller, else I'd be with a broken action button like with Celeste on the Switch. ๐Ÿ˜…

The more concerning part is the bootloader that keeps being made more and more cumbersome to unlock. Not as easy to install one's system of choice when you need to beg the device maker to allow access to the part of the system required for that. =/

I mean, slap a proper desktop system and plug some bluetooth devices like a controller or a keyboard and mouse, and you got a makeshift laptop / notebook / whatever-the-current-name-is.

 

This game is hectic

Taking a screenshot was a challenge on its own. =P
Also the first boss here on Gunbird 2 took me a few too many tries, and I'm fairly sure I picked the easier difficulty. (chuckles) I'm in danger

Doesn't help the wheel doesn't seem to take inputs until the player first jumps on it to get it moving. "<.<

Also, I didn't get to test it, but with how much the player can actually move the wheel, I wouldn't find far fetched to think the player can get crushed by the ceiling too.

 

Just got through the stage. Overall fun, but I might have a few colorful words about that spinning wheel near the end. e.e"
Also luckily I managed to save the electric state til the end. Made the boss far easier.

Unrelated, but changed the title format because I thought the previous one was too visually polluted. Hopefully it looks better now.

 

Bad pun is still bad. =P

And Gunbird 2 seems to play a bit better than the first game.

For finding content creators on alternative services, maybe use Grayjay for Android? It aggregates multiple services into a single, mostly concise UI, and when you do a search, Grayjay can search all services at once. Also recently it added a recommended tab, which should help finding new channels on the go.

Not much preference on the work's medium. Rather, to me, it'd be whichever as long as it's concise and entertaining.

Was planning to play Leisure Suit Larry 4 instead. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

 

Loving how each new stage is an extension of the previous one.

Whether it's a rage-click community, a community made for an agenda, or both, I don't know, but in either cases, I wouldn't see as surprising for the mods in such a community to be very trigger-happy. Best you can do, I think, is to block communities and individuals with such a profile, and to recommend others to not engaging (remember to explain why if you do it, btw).

I'd have 4 main solutions I can think of, and that can be used together if needed:

  • VMs for running Steam and for games that MUST use Steam.
  • Emulators, wrappers and source ports for games that allow that, e.g. BSNES for running River Girls Zero, Joiplay / Artemis / EasyRPG / AquariaOSE for games that use compatible engines, etc.
  • Having a separated computer you can use 100% offline (requires sideloading games)
  • The annoying idea some users give that strays from the original question, but that I think that is valid for once - to get the games from places that openly distribute it DRM free

Alternatively, it could be a way to kill what people look up to by fatigue through fatigue and disappointment through less than ideal re-imaginings.

 

Bad pun is bad. "<.<

ahem

Already finished the PS1 version (a.k.a. the original but emulated PC release) and the second PC version, but with the differences the two versions have, the overall lack in information on the game, and having had a good time in the previous playthroughs, I decided to play the versions I could reasonably get (so no arcade cabinets, thank you very much e.e") so I could get a good idea of what changes, and the next version I could find was one of the Gunbird 1 and 2 bundles for the PS2, specifically "Gunbird: Special Edition". It also serves as a break from Sonic, since I'd been playing too much of the franchise, and too much for anything is still too much.

 

Sonic Mega Collection Plus plays great, even more so as a commercial emulator. Kudos for Sega.

 

Greetings, everyone!

I finished BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extended a few years back, but life happens and I couldn't play the rest of the series. Fast-forward to nowadays, and I decided to play the rest of the series, or, if anything, at least the main games. And reading on them, specially the one I played, since I remembered some quirks about it, I found a mention that apparently, part of its plotline is actually the plotline of Calamity Trigger, introduced in this edition. Is that correct? And if so, could I skip Calamity Trigger, or are there any benefits to playing it too?

Thanks in advance!

 

Are there any devices that, by default/by design, allow the user to unlock the bootloader totally offline, no ransom, validation, account, internet or whatever required?

 

Rules say that the title format is to be followed, but there are no indications of what it is, at least not here on the fediverse.
If this is a sister community of the subreddit with the same name, perhaps the rules were copied over from there but without adapting to how things are over here?
