Right on, thanks for the info!

Oh damn. Was coolroms part of that too? I’ve used emuparadise and coolroms a bunch over the years. Kinda makes me want to stock up just in case

I’m OOTL, which ROM sites got shut down?

This a great, thank you for sharing!

I remember that line too

Nothing as profound as what you described there…
But… The Last Of Us was an experience for me…

I hadn’t played a “new” game in about 8-10 years at that point, so the huge increase in development was mind blowing to me.
But really, the intensity of the story is what really did it for me. I legit got teary eyed in the intro, and then the burning restaurant scene made me ball my eyes out…

Phenomenal fucking game

Or, to bring it back to my youth… The Illusion of Gaia was probably the first game I played that made me feel things. That was so long ago, and I was so young when that came out that being specific about it is hard. But I think I really related with the main character, and I remember really feeling things during the lost-at-sea raft scene.

I might need to go find the ROM now…

**Or, to go a bit further back, Dragon Warrior.
That was the first game I ever played that really captivated me. It was the first RPG I ever played, and even tho the storyline is incredibly basic and cliche, it was the first time I experienced a story at all in a video game. It’s definitely the reason that I prefer fantasy RPGs over every other type of game

Here’s a Lemmy friendly link to the sub

Thanks, I saw somewhere else that Mint was recommended for beginners too. I’ll look into that

The author was an absolute wingnut. But in the best way

You should really read Robert Anton Wilson’s Prometheus Rising

You will love it.

I’m 2-0 on getting you to delete shitty posts now. Please, make it 3-0 for me and delete these shitty communities that you have no business moderating

I remember you from the other day making shitty memes dunking on certain groups of people. So, I don’t really believe that there “no ill intentions”

You tried to play all innocent then too while spreading ignorant stereotypes and opinions until you eventually deleted the posts.

Ok, this one you didn’t. I stand corrected.

You’ve made communities for every single other candidate tho. And I still stand by my previous comment.

Words really can’t describe how weird it seems that you feel the need to create and moderate communities for every US presidential candidate.

You do not seem even remotely engaged enough politically to moderate ONE electoral candidate’s group, let alone every single one, even across party lines.

Are you trying to set the stage for astroturfing? Do you have a fetish for the negative attention this is bringing you? Or is it some weird control issue? Either way, this is all sus as fuck …

Moving to Portland was when I realized it was actually S.A.D. and not just being miserable from the harsh winter weather I grew up with.

My first winter in P-town was amazing - there wasn’t any snow or sub-freezing temps! My 2nd winter there I was cripplingly depressed from the lack of sun…

Like clockwork, every year. Usually happens 2 or 3 weeks both before and after the winter solstice.

I try to make sure I’m getting plenty of vitamin D. And I try to make sure I’m getting outside for a bit everyday. Exercise helps a lot too - anything that’ll get your blood flowing and heart pumping.

I also make a rule for myself that I’m not allowed to make any big decisions or big commitments during that time of year because the depression can cloud my judgement. Not making commitments is hard with the holidays tho, so if I have to I also leave myself a way out of them if needed. I’ve become an expert at giving a “definite maybe” in response to commitments lol

Veggies have never been a problem for me. Fruit always has been tho.

My solution for that is making a smoothie every morning while I wait for my coffee to brew.
