Harvest Moon is Temu Stardew Valley. I know Harvest Moon came first. Stardew Valley does literally everything better than Harvest Moon

This isn’t using the meme effectively.

“Nobody wants to work anymore for you” would’ve been closer

I think the PSP versions have more content than the Pixel Remasters

The grant proposal:

“They definitely exist, and this marriage will change the world. The wedding must be funded now or else we risk someone else marrying them and getting all the credit for the wedding.”

I think the better question might be what series should you start from game 1, brcause thats a much tougher question.

Trails in the Sky.

2 picks up immediately after 1, and expects the player to already be proficient with the battle system from the start.

3 would be confusing and boring without having played the prior two games.

And yes, it’s a subseries, but still. Lol

4 is better if you want an old school fixed-class character-driven JRPG. But 9 and 10 do that in a more modern way.

6 is better if you want an old-school blank-slate character-driven JRPG. But 7 and 8 do that in a more modern way.

7, 8, 9, and 10 are all retro themselves though.

5 is great if you want an old-school “character class” JRPG. And if you want it to be character-focused, you’ve gotta look at something like 10-2.

Recommending specific games from the franchise really depends on what someone is looking for.

I’m playing a Steam release of an old PC JRPG (Trails in the Sky) and it has the best feature ever…

A turbo button that doesn’t affect the sound of the game. Dialogue plays, music plays at the normal rate, no pitch shifting… it’s glorious.

I’d pay for any emulator that could support something like that for every game.

I recently replayed Legend of Dragoon, and I’d do it again.

I tried to play Golden Sun again though, and it just has WAY too much dialogue. And not in a good way. Just lots of filler dialogue that doesn’t add depth; it just restates the story and what’s currently going on.

I used Backlogery, but Backloggd seems to be more popular nowadays. That forum discussion mentions a few others, too.

If you play retro games, then you could also look into RetroAchievements, which will track more than when you simply beat a game. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work for all games though.

For more modern games, you could also use Achievements to track what you beat.

As for keeping track of what games you WANT to play… it’s called buying them! Don’t buy games you don’t want to play, haha

Seriously though, you could go through your Steam library and add games you want to play to a playlist, or sell physical games you wanted to support but don’t want to play.

But for multi-platform stuff, check out the linked forum post

As long as people aren’t breaking the rules regarding hate speech

Hate speech and threats of violence are what the article is about.

So if you agree that rape threats and certain words (that constitute hate speech) are ok to ban, then you’re in agreement with the article and other people saying “People shouldn’t need to grow a thicker skin”.

Unless you’re against hate speech, but in favour of threats of violence, but I don’t think you are just because you didn’t explicitly say it, haha

You want players who are invested in winning.

Yes. Players who are invested in winning. Not players who have poor emotional regulation or social behaviour and are invested in being assholes.

It’s called sportsmanship. Yet some online games sound worse than middle school sports games… probably because, for years, nobody got punished for acting like a middle schooler who can’t control their emotions or behaviour.

As for your statement on toxicity preventing you from playing multiplayer doesn’t seem true. There are plenty of games where you will never see toxicity and you still don’t play any of them so that can’t be what’s stopping you.

I’m fascinated by how you know so much about the games I don’t play! Lol

Given the choice between an online community with assholes being moderated away and an online community without asshole moderation, I’m going to choose the one where assholes get warned, muted, and banned.

My favourite subreddit had a rule, “Be Civil”. I much preferred that sub over ones that didn’t have that rule (or one like it). Too many people don’t know how to behave in public forums, and those people make the internet a lot less pleasant. See Facebook and Instagram comments if you’d like some examples.

I don’t play many online games, except with friends exclusively, or where there is no chat (especially voice chat). If there were games that had moderated communities that banned assholes, then I’d be more likely to venture into that world…and maybe I’d even start turning on my mic.

None of those were direct successors, though

Do “i”, “mini” and “new” really count as new consoles? i and new were just upgrades to the same console, I believe, and I’m not sure what “Mini” was even for…

Ah, right, sorry. The first part of your comment makes it seem like you’re leaning the other way.

The consent is entirely missing

Is dragging what happens before someone else slams them?

Yeah, which means that you’d be able to build up the karma you need quickly.

Someone driving a car the day before getting their first license could be a better driver than some people who’ve had theirs for years! Lol

I don’t think so, no. Sure, Reddit made these controls available to mods, but the mods can decide to use them as they see fit.

Frankly, I don’t think it’s a bad rule. For a sub that big, they need pretty strict controls before a new user can post. Otherwise, they’d get flooded with spam.
