I've always considered people who weren't old enough to remember watching 9/11 on TV to be "posts" and have always struggled to take their existence seriously

I was born at with just the right timing for a global catastrophe to occur roughly every 10 years of my life. Soviet Union collapsed a few months after my birth, 9/11 happened right before I turned 10 and covid happened less than a year before I was 30

literally cannot imagine being older than the iraq war

Can you even legally drown yourself in booze, kid?

[–] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Did that last night 😎😎😎

[–] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Based. Carry on.

Being an old can be pretty cool. My 30's are definitely going better than my 20's.

Hey! Friendly fire!

p.s. *you're stinky x

I really liked those mega man battle network games. I am sad they never got any traction.

[–] AstroStelar@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I played Mega Man Star Force (this is from that series, not Battle Network) a year ago at a low point when I had begun studying and it has become the most impactful game in my life because of how strongly it resonated with me

[–] StalinStan@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh damn, hell yeah. That's awesome. I feel like star force never got the room to breathe it needed.

[–] AstroStelar@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Got squeezed on both ends by consumers and critics growing tired of Mega Man (Battle Network) in the late 2000's and fans just wanting more Battle Network. A mediocre second game killed whatever momentum it had. It lives in the shadow of its bigger brother, I die a little inside whenever it gets mistaken for BN...

Maybe a Legacy Collection makes people give it a fair shot as its own thing. When Super Mario 3D World got re-released it was received more positively, before it was "3D Mario at home" when rumors about Odyssey were running. Wind Waker is another famous example.

[–] StalinStan@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Has the competitive scene shown the legacy collection any love? I haven't kept up.

[–] AstroStelar@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I don't know either, I don't follow that. Before Star Force I had only played the classic series and the first X game, so I can't answer what the Battle Network community is up to. I was a toddler when those games came out.

[–] StalinStan@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At least during the pandemic there was a pretty robust online battle community. They mostly played on mmbn5 via emulator and it was chill.

[–] AstroStelar@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

5? I thought it was 6 or 3 that was most popular.

[–] StalinStan@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, 3 is the acclaimed favorite. I think five had the most balanced chip spread though. If you were doing competitive pvp in three I think it would be too imbalanced. People of course differed in opinion

[–] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Battle Network on the gba was the shit man, loved those games as a kid. The ds games never were that good in my opinion, just didn't have the same charm I guess.

[–] StalinStan@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

The battle network was a super tight mix of card and fight games that was Lazer targeted to the brains of such a very specific small group of people. There are a few projects now to use that system and make new things with it and they have all been fun and interesting at least.

I was there, Gandalf

Imagine being born after Robbie Williams released his magnum opus Millennium as an ode to the new Millennium. It's one of those things that you don't forget where you were when it was released.
