To take the survey, go to this campaign page and scroll down to the “take part” button to get the survey in your language. I basically just told them that I install Firefox ESR from Chocolatey. They were really interested in locale strings like “en-US”.

For those of us in North America, a little eclipse music. Especially good for driving away and escaping traffic.

True, it’s not that easy to find the good ones. Try browsing around RetroAchievement’s hubs, click a category you’re interested in, and then sort by “most players”. The popular games there might surprise you.

Losing interest? How about some shorter games that are super high quality all the way through?

• Kirby’s Adventure
• Super Mario Bros. 3
• The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX
• Gunstar Heroes
• Mega Man 4 (and then Rockman 4 Minus Infinity)
• Tetris Rosy Retrospection DX
• Hammerin’ Harry: Smash Smash Hammer Smash
• Klonoa: Door to Phantomile
• Streemerz
• Donkey Kong Country
• Star Fox 64
• Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

So, what kinds of games do you normally play? We can help you more if we know where you’re coming from.

Tekken? Nah. It’s a four button game, and you only need to map the shoulder buttons if your character has a good move with a weird button combination like Square+Circle. Street Fighter Alpha 3 really needs all 6 buttons, though.

You might want to search for a RetroAchievements collection of PlayStation Portable games.

• Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection and Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max are in top shape on the PSP with extra characters and decent single player content.

• Rock Band Unplugged is a stealth sequel to Frequency and Amplitude, worth a try for juggling a whole band’s worth of instruments.

• I also had a lot of fun with Half-Minute Hero, Lumines, Everybody’s Golf Portable 2/Hot Shots Golf Open Tee 2, and the racing games DdCno1 mentioned.

• And that’s not even getting into the excellent options for emulated games, both retail and homebrew.

• RetroAcheivements PSP games sorted by number of players is a good way to see the most popular games.

I thought Soft Garden’s boss Jackle was a good fight. He tries to zone you out by throwing tarot cards at you, and it’s satisfying to slip through his cards and hit him.

Is @lofenyy_does_things@diode.zone your channel? You can’t go wrong with Rockman 4 Minus Infinity, the best Mega Man game. I hope I can catch you live sometime.

Are you kidding ??? What the **** are you talking about-- ah, forget it. I’m lucky to keep my elo higher than my @FloatingIsFun@fedia.io post count.

I dunno, Nc6, then Qa5+, then Nb4? They’ll probably take our knight but it stops their attack.

Then I guess we push king and try to check their king with our king.

Check each game’s entry on PCGamingWiki. They’re a good resource for finding what it takes to get old games running well on modern PCs. A lot of times, the answer is either “buy it on Steam and use a community-made patch” or “buy it on GOG”.

I’m curious, what games are you trying to get working?

Generally good news here, but I’m not holding my breath. Sega’s remakes are still hit-and-miss, but they all have a chance to be good. We don’t know if Hideki Naganuma is involved with the new Jet Set Radio.

Chocolatey, a command line driven package installer for Windows that works like apt-get for Linux. Replaces thousands of bloated installers with simple commands. My first step with an updated Windows install is to install Chocolatey, open command prompt, and do something like choco install firefox notepadplusplus gimp zoom windirstat winrar to install them all silently.

Yes! Seriously, listen to it on stereo speakers. It’s a shame phone calls aren’t in stereo. This song is actually good.

.hack//Sign is the worst anime series I’ve ever watched all the way through. This cool music gave me such high hopes. But, this show was about 5 episodes’ worth of material and music stretched into 26 episodes, and it still left lots of unanswered questions that require watching more .hack stuff to resolve.

If you hear more than five seconds of this song, you’re probably dead. It’s a shame, because this game has some good riffs in its soundtrack.

Of course you have to follow it with The Odyssey by Symphony X, a 24-minute symphonic metal track.

Yay! I love Shiren 1 on the SNES and DS and I actually just started it again after seeing it get challenged on GameCenter CX. I still need to actually play the other Shiren games.

Is there a community for Shiren the Wanderer on Lemmy or Kbin? I don’t want to have to go back to Reddit for it.

I liked a lot of the parodies and jokes in Conker’s Bad Fur Day, but the game had too many frustrating parts in between them. About half of this game should have been left on the cutting room floor, but Rare wouldn’t cut their bad ideas out of the game unless Nintendo was supervising them.

If you’re wondering how flying squids eat and breathe and other science facts, repeat to yourself “It’s just a name; I should really just relax.”
