I haven’t ROMmed in a while but I recall emuparadise being rather useful for more obscure stuff that those two didn’t always have - alternate sets for arcade games and japanese computers, Japanese/European versions of games that got US releases, more clearly labeled bootlegs, things like that.
of course, it’s pretty much all available on the Internet Archive now, and if it’s not, it usually takes like 5-10 minutes max to find it on some other rom site or a Chinese/Russian forum or whatever peer-based thing people use these days
I’ve never played an iPhone game that doesn’t play even better on my iPad. I don’t believe your “reasonable motion-response scale” theory. Bigger is better
I felt it most keenly in Ziggurat, as it used the rarely-seen ‘continuous drag’ model of input. Normally this is disfavored because it creates too much friction, and indeed, my skin is such that I could only play for short sessions before sticking to the screen (I have clammy hands). More common contextual tap interfaces scale naturally.
I just watched that whole Smash Bros. update Nintendo put out. Hot damn… I thought I was sick of Smash, but the fanservice gets me hype every time. I thought King K Rool would be kind of a lame addition to the roster, but I love the totally bonkers exaggerated way they animated him.
Steam lied to me and it took an hour longer but MH:W is out now and I have to download it with a semi-broken internet connection, yaaaay. My body is ready though
this is a good example of why I didn’t particularly like there being business IRC and games IRC now and I have no idea why I want to buy games from them but uh I guess it’s a revenue stream and anything that gives steam more competition other than from amazon is good
