!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Thats just code for "I am jealous that your hobby makes you happy."

That's a massive red flag.

[–] peopleproblems 14 points 6 days ago

Wait hold on

That makes too much sense get out of here

And when you have that miserable attitude long enough, it starts to feel wrong when your OWN hobbies or activities make you happy.

It sounds simple, but that shit runs deep when you’re raised in it.

I don't know about that, there are other hobbies people participate in that women find "attractive". So far my hobbies of video games and programming have scared away any partners...

...Says the chick who has made a total of $3,950 worth of microtransactions in "Fashion Gacha Glowup Idol Makeover Dressup Saga Deluxe 3."

"But that's different!"

Then proceeds to play childish mind games with boyfriend and doing outlandish hypothetical questions.

Nostalgic blue box

(I played a Final Fantasy for the first time like three years ago and have elected to pretend it's my childhood)

You should probably try Golden Sun too. I recently repaired my GBA SP and damn, it brings me back to my childhood. 😆

I did, during my "JRPGapalooza", which I've yet to continue. I put it off until later. I carry the weight of a massive backlog of games on my shoulders.

I see that box and can't not hear the interface sounds

A friend of mine bought an Aliexpress grade Chinese stereo for his car and I swear it makes the exact same cursor movement noise every time you press one of its buttons.

We're still deeply amused by this and he's had it for years.

FFVII's menu looks completely different. Judging by font and scaling, this is absolutely one of the GBA games. You can exclude VI and later as VI has a purple menu with a different font. III can be excluded because it never got a GBA game. Notable is the "Flee" command second, and the gap in the list. The actions can be rearranged, which leaves only IV and V. The fonts are different for the two games, and, judging by this (the k was the easiest for me to make out), this is Final Fantasy V Advance.

Looks close to me

Do you have a single fact to back that up?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It's all in the numbers. Number one, that's terror.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Terror built into the system.

That they got away safely? Maybe the fact that they're on Lemmy

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

Hope they didn't drop too much money when they ran away.

All the downvotes from people who don't get the reference.
