It had never occurred to me that the two were related. Duh!
Wikipedia describes Merry Melodies as a spin-off from Looney Tunes!
The title of Looney Tunes was inspired by Walt Disney’s Silly Symphonies.
This is pretty obscure, but the Game Boy Advance remake of Mario Bros. (Not Super Mario Bros.) is more fun than the original.
You can run, for one thing, and the controls are more responsive in general.
It’s one of the games on Super Mario Advance, and one of the main reasons I originally wanted a GBA when it came out! I had the original Mario Bros. for the NES and thought it would be fun to have a portable version. I was right.
They did a great job updating the game!
The character art at the top of the Steam page is the right kind of unhinged for me!
So basically we could absolutely have a clearly recognizable city builder in the absence of a money system in-game
Not only can we, this is the main way I’ve been playing city builders for a long time! Ever since Sim City 2000, I’ve turned the money off or made it not matter.
I was playing a lot of Final Fantasy VII when it first came out around 1996, and used a paper strategy guide.
I got a one-handed controller (an ASCII Grip that was amazing for old JRPGs. I still miss having it for those kinds of chill games where I don’t feel like I need to be hunching over a controller.
I was always super jealous of this controller but I couldn’t afford it when it first came out!
I love ridiculous controllers.
I happened upon the original for $20 in Wal Mart in 1995 and I’ve been playing it on and off ever since!
One of the best games ever made.
Sounds like they should have called it Underscale
I’ll see myself out
I don’t know how popular it was overall but I really enjoyed Super Mario Wonder!
I even remember buying a nice glacier blue rechargeable battery pack and never using it!
I wish I could buy everything in glacier blue now.
Generalize more! “You guys,” “normal people,” “not enough artists and creatives I guess.” That’ll help when you join a new community.
You’re writing a lot of words. Why don’t you write the service? Be the change you want to see in the world, “creative.” Nope, better lecture me instead.
Oh right, you’re “not an expert,” which means you can just spout off “how come no one has done it?? No artists I bet.” and generalize without thinking. The bold sells that.
Then you just keep typing instead of thinking.
“Why doesn’t someone just duplicate Pinterest’s search? Seems easy.” And then if anyone says something, you say “it figures. You guys are just ___________.”
Are you just here to complain? What entitlement.
Some Game Boy Advance games actually had a software-based sleep mode!
You pressed L+R and Select.
On top of that, I was always really impressed by the GBA’s battery life but maybe I’m just old.
I guess it's just nobody here cares enough about that to bother with it, not enough artists/creatives around I'm presuming, bummer...
This last sentence is wild. People who don’t write software think it’s so easy, why can’t someone just whip it up?
The lack of artists is totally the reason, and not that building up an entire federated service isn’t easy.
The idea that “the lack of creatives” is the reason it hasn’t been made is astonishing. Such arrogance.
I loved the system in the first Bravely Default! It made battles go by so quickly and was so fun
Sometimes I feel like it’s nice to know that you got there. Even for a minute! I’ll take it. Haha
I think I have hope, too, that I’ll get back there.
I know that mango sticky rice is a popular Thai dessert, but I’m curious about other ways people eat it too!
If anyone else is curious, this appears to be the original, with higher resolution.
I love how vintage it looks! Usually modern vintage art loses something but I don’t know what it is.
