I love CV3 but it’s brutal, I’ve played it off and on since around 1991 or so and still never finished it.

Have you played the Japanese version, Akumajō Densetsu? Some of the tracks in that version are even better with the use of the fancy sound chip (VRC6).

Nah, it’s great and has some of the best music in the series. I mean, it introduced Bloody Tears!

Try a romhack of the game, like Simon’s Redaction or Simon’s Quest Retranslated, it’s absolutely worth a play.

Nope, believe it or not the first Metroidvania style game was Castlevania 2: Simon’s Quest for the NES. It was actually an excellent game, but a botched translation to English made it more frustrating and obtuse than it should have been. It was rather ambitious for a NES game.

Also, while level based and not Metroidvania style, Castlevania 3, Super Castlevania IV, Bloodlines, and Rondo of Blood were all fantastic games and Iga’s games have their lore and continuity based on the prior titles. In fact, SotN’s intro sequence is literally the ending of Rondo, it’s a direct sequel.

Not to mention, while it wasn’t as well received, the attempted series reboot (Lords of Shadow) was pretty great too. Mostly people didn’t like the gameplay changes for the 3D title.

And that’s not even getting into the N64 and PS2 games (one of which, Curse of Darkness, was popular enough that the first Netflix Castlevania series involves characters based on it).

Metroidvania was Igarashi’s style, to the point they were sometimes coined as “Igavania” games, but they’re not the end-all-be-all of the series.

Koji Igarashi was responsible for the “Metroidvania” style, but was not the creator of Castlevania. He worked on the series from Symphony of the Night and through the NDS games, and his last involvement was as producer of Harmony of Despair in 2010. There were games in the series both before his involvement and after.

Iga’s great, but Castlevania is still Castlevania without his influence.

1. I love Castlevania
2. Evil Empire and MotionTwin

I’m in.

Same. Absolutely shoes off now, despite growing up in a shoes on house.

I have inside shoes and slippers/sandals for home and inside exercise use. Outside shoes and boots are for outside only, and come off in the mud room. I live in the rurals and I do not want that mess in the house.

I thought the point was to make the other guy’s soldiers die for their beliefs.

Where’s the pic of the ham for comparison? This is just a pic of your hand.

My wife and I have been working out and losing weight and now the question is “am I hungry, or is it lonely mouth?”

Though I’m burning so many damned calories it’s usually I’m really hungry. 🥺

Just sell Splinter Cell to a company that knows what the hell to do with it already.

I know you think the snark is cute or funny, but resistance is happening. Courts are ruling on things, people are protesting massively, and Minneapolis is actively resisting. Peacefully. Read your history. Peaceful protest does work.

Just keep a stash of healthy butterflies around, and occasionally get one to flap its wings.

Wrong community. This is for shitposts, not depressing factual information.

That last pic is a fucking disgrace to the Man of Steel. Superman would be ashamed and disgusted by the actions of these assholes. He’d be stopping them, not supporting.

For a general use or gaming PC, 32GB is more than enough for the majority of users. It might show its limits with use as a server or dedicated database using complex queries.

Heck, even as servers go, I’ve got an AMD mini-PC running a Ryzen 5700u with 32 GB RAM. It’s running Plex, Jellyfin, AudioBookShelf, Home Assistant, Asset UPnP, and a few other apps, plus has some small extra VMs occasionally for testing stuff and I’m hardly utilizing it, nowhere near capacity. I’m never using more than 8 out of 16 threads, and about half the RAM is still available even under full load scenarios when I’m running updates and using Plex heavily (such as scanning intros, or doing acoustic analysis for Plexamp use).

Most of the time under normal use, it’s practically idle, and RAM use is low (Proxmox with memory minimums and ballooning).

Americans didn’t decide it. Loophole in fuel efficiency laws ties the fuel economy footprint to carriage size. So to get around this, the manufacturers started making the cars larger, wider, and boxier. It’s why even small sedans are several inches wider than they used to be, when you can find them at all.

Right? I’m tearing through Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne remaster and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. It’s great.

I use it because I love it but no need at least not for app installing having Discover.

Didn’t you have to install that via the terminal? Discover store is not installed on EndeavourOS by default. You must have installed it and forgot.

Anyway can’t compare an arch based distro to Fedora or Ubuntu

Why not?

Depends on your distro. Maybe on Ubuntu or Mint, sure. I’m running EndeavourOS, and it’s terminal or nothing. I’m fine with that, but YMMV.
