Same, does it go by another name or something?

Started playing the Silent Hill 2 remake on Sunday. As a big fan of the original, I think they did a phenomenal job. Combat is harder, but that’s a pretty low bar.

Yeah, now that both of the main emulators have been shut down, it will be interesting to see how well people can run future high profile Switch games on PC. Mario & Luigi Brothership and Metroid Prime 4 come to mind.

It was fun, but felt really short for a $60 game.

Note the blur at the bottom of the screen. It’s trying to emulate a tilt-shift effect, but since it’s just applied in a straight line across the bottom regardless of how close the objects are to the camera, it just looks ugly:

The 8-bit image I posted above is of a Zora in the original LoZ. They were also in ALttP:

But in OoT, the people called Zoras looked like the white guy to the right in my earlier post. In Echoes of Wisdom they finally have both kinds in the same game, and call them River and Sea Zoras:

Thankfully, for those of us with hacked Switches, there’s a blur removal patch out, just like with Link’s Awakening. It looks so much better without that ugly smear across the bottom of the screen.

I thought it was cool that they finally explained how both of these are Zoras:

I’m a filthy pirate and played it for a few hours last weekend. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy having to summon things to fight rather than just whacking enemies with a sword, but it works surprisingly well! I think anyone who wasn’t too put-off by the performance issues with Link’s Awakening will like this one.

I’ve read a lot of complaints about performance, but I’m not very sensitive to such things and haven’t had a problem with it. It seems about the same as the Link’s Awakening remake.

Mostly alternating between Echoes of Wisdom and Extermination Day via GZDoom on my Switch. I’ve played Extermination Day through Brutal Doom before, but this is a regular Doom enemies and weapons playthrough. For you non-criminal scum who are looking forward to Echoes of Wisdom, you’ll be happy to hear that it’s good. It surprised me, because at first I wasn’t very interested when I read that Zelda would summon enemies to fight rather than attack directly, but it’s actually quite fun to choose from a variety of things to tackle a given situation.

Almost legitimate Scrabble except for the two "rt"s.

I’m not sure which ones, I only use Lemmy.

Nah. Votes are already visible to people using other applications than Lemmy, so let people use those if they want to see how people voted. It’s fine as-is.

But it is the late 1900s.

Because they don’t care what community it’s being posted from. Lemmy is so much smaller than reddit that you have to pull from everywhere to get sufficient content.

Open signups is the biggest reason. Pretty much every other instance wanted you to jump through hoops to sign up with them.

I usually use desktop, but when it’s not available I use Voyager.

I have, and I didn’t like it. I like my Metroid games to be about exploration, not twitch shooting and boss pattern memorization.

Not a bad game, just not my thing. At least it actually exists, unlike Other M.
