I feel you. I’m at the awkward point where I’m not strong enough to maintain good posture all day so I’ve got both slouching pain and soreness pain

My back and neck hurt constantly from shrimping all day so I’ve been doing exercise about it lately, but now they hurt in a different way 💀

Kids these days can’t appreciate a good plantation smh my head

Hexbears seem averse to posting here. When cheap dunking posts were banned, they created another tank comm instead of posting to SRS or SUS. Even now that the tanks are shut, there haven’t been any bears that’ve posted to lemmygrad’s equivalent comms.

Does that make the dunk tank racist though? I mean, it could be interpreted in a revolutionary way: what once was a tool for humiliating black people is now being utilized against rightful targets, who are largely the people who would’ve been throwing the balls in the past. A device created for oppression repurposed into an instrument of justice for the oppressed.

idk I’m not black so take that with a grain of salt. A simple name change would’ve been fine though.

Seems like the only rule on that comm is that it’s for hexbears ONLY! A strange restriction considering no one even posts there but I’m not a hexbear mod so what do I know haha

Also:

• Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call
• Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
• Fire Emblem Fates
• Fire Emblem Awakening
• Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy
• Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright
• Pushmo, Crashmo, and Stretchmo
• Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon
• Luigi’s Mansion 1 remake
• every Mario and Luigi RPG except partners in time
• Cave Story (whichever version)
• Triforce Heroes (if you can find other people to play with locally)

You gotta play Bravely Second! It’s the best game out of the three by a landslide imo. It rebalanced the job system so that combining skills is more consequential and added a few more jobs that are mechanically interesting such as exorcist (a job that specializes in reverting the game state, like unkilling an ally or unspending your MP).

Its plot is also very well told. I mean, it’s just a final fantasy game so it’s not revolutionary or anything but it has a metanarrative that is unforgettable because of a certain moment that you’ll know when you get there.

Consider playing the demo too because it’s essentially a prologue; it has some story and character development that isn’t in the main game at all.

Also if you like Pokemon then you’ll probably like the Yokai Watch series too. They’re the same genre but Yokai Watch is goofier, has better writing, a bigger world, and just has more effort put into it in general. Though its battle system is less strategic, it’s not a big deal if you’re playing casually. The 3D is gorgeous too fwiw

I recommend you play 1 first because it’s the most basic and some of its plot gets referenced later, but it’s not that important tbh. 2 and 3 are both fantastic though and are very different from each other so you should play both. Concurrently, even, because they’re pretty distinct.

(btw Psychic Specters is the definitive version of 2. YW1 doesn’t have separate versions. And the definitive version of YW3 is the only one that got localized)

Always the same map + Russia

That’s named after indigo not India I think

A map of countries that had periodic elements named after its citizens would look the same too

You’re the second ever person I’ve known that likes it. The first is Max from life is strange haha

Yes. Lemmy/the fediverse is this social media platform. It’s like email where there are many independent domains that communicate with each other. The biggest servers are lemmy.world, lemm.ee, sh.itjust.works, lemmy.ml, and hexbear.net

Hexbear was separate from the rest until last year so that’s why people say it isn’t lemmy even though it is.

You watched the final fantasy movie? Did you like it?

All I know about 11 comes from Theatrhythm. What’s the deal with Shantotto? She looks funny

Right, there was that one dweeby guy who wrote an actual paper about us. Wasn’t that before hexbear started federating? I wonder how he heard of one without the other.

It’s wild how much flak lemmygrad gets considering most threads here get single-digit likes and comments. Even if we stayed federated, they probably wouldn’t see posts from us unless they subscribed to genzedong or freechat. It makes me feel honored that we’re considered as much of a threat as hexbear hahaha

Deberían hacer más que echarle lodo. Solo espero que los españoles tienen mejor puntería que los yanquis.

Have a nice week!

It’s surprising how dark partners in time gets. If it weren’t for the cartoony art style it would be way too disturbing for kids to play. Such a shame it never got remastered because it’s the first M&L game I played and it’s my favorite one.
