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.

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.

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

You can't really decide what others want in life.

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (6 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

It was Terranigma.

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

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

[–] Gradually_Adjusting 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Okay wow rude. How I say it is my bizsness

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

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

[–] Gradually_Adjusting 8 points 2 months ago

You'll never be rid of me 🙂

[–] Dozzi92 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ess Ness was always my silly way of pronouncing it, because there's Ness, for N-E-S, and if you add an S, it's S-Ness.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I accept sillynes
Thumbs up

And are less filling!

They're both correct.

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

So they meet in the middle at Actraiser?

[–] Hellnikko 6 points 2 months ago

I have not heard that name in a long time. .... Long time.

I still whistle the music every so often.

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

Is it any good?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (4 children)

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Terranigma, very cool game

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