Daily Chat is one of those places where all's implicit and assumed. Dashwizzies abuse the glorious refresh button in hopes that there's a new funny comment, and oftentimes try to beg for likes. When a new Daily Level swings in, it's probably an opportune time to likebeg.

If you know, you know. What were some good memories you had of Daily Chat?

What are some games to look forward to for some hopefuel?
I like watching these new MMO videos because it gives me hope we are closer to someone making a good new one.

Have you ever played japanese indie games? which one?
Can you share the japanese indie games you've played, please?
I'm searching japanese indie games with at least an english translation and free (or cheap price)
also don't forget to explain why did you like the game you've played or critics about a game you didn't like/not worth it

I want to share one of the best games I've ever played in my life, not only because of its aesthetics, but also because of its playability and the great content it offers, not only that, apart from being very accessible despite having low graphics (not to say shit) Runescape old school is one of those games that are little known, this game contains millions of stories, of Venezuelans earning a living to be able to eat selling runescape gold, from people who repeat the same action for 3 months in a row to be able to get 99 in a skill, and even people who pay in-game money so they can have a girlfriend. Runescape is huge and you don't stop finding new things every day, it's full of content and besides it's FREE… Up to a certain point since you can buy a membership and play the game 100%, since the free game is limited to certain things and certain sectors, but don't worry you can farm money from the game and buy a bond, which gives you 14 days of free membership, and if you know how to take advantage of them you will never have to spend real money to buy the membership. It's crazy what this game can be and I invite you to play it for free on steam, android, and iso. I don't know what my fellow virgins expect to be able to play this fantastic game

Almost every single game that I played in 2023 was a game made in Japan. Mainly JRPGs. Now I can't barely play western games, which I found dull and ugly.

when Japan became the best game developer?

French wizs might have heard of this.

Despite the english name, Slayers Online (SO) is a french-speaking amateur MMO that was created in 2002 by a certain "frostfall" using RPG Maker 2K assets.

It was the poor man's WoW for kids with slow internet or parents who didn't want to pay a sub.
Yes, the MMO was entirely free. NOT freemium, free. You couldn't interact financially with the game even with donations. Obviously because it ripped many assets from RM2K or other games like FF1-6.

The gameplay itself sucked. You had one key to attack, one key to defend, 3 classes that were not balanced at all, and thats about it.

But we liked it because it was an era when online games weren't as ubiquitous as they are now. They were mostly for introverted kids like me who didn't partake in IRL activities.

At its peak (2007-2008 id say) the server averaged 400 online players.

The game admins gave you the possibility to make your own skin (RM2K style). Doing one takes some training but it was accessible. At some point, "skinneurs" as we called them had the possibility to sell access to their skin. This led to the game economy being ruined as the richest people in the game were making too much gold.
I myself created skins and was shocked by how much gold normalfags were willing to put into them, but I didn't complain and exploited this lol.

I also learned HTML4 at 13 just to make a cool description for my character. Didn't have any programming knowledge before that.

The game slowly died out as f2p online games became mainstream, but also because it was hacked so much times as the game's infosec also stayed in the 2000s era (passwords hashed with MD5 etc).

I want to emulate alot of ROMs on my android because i want to feel like im owning a NTS and feel that experience, i have did this before on PC bit its ass i want something that make my vidya experience more portable and better. Any of you anons come across some punk ass powerful NTS emu?

Fuck it the SM64 camera is the worse control had come across, might seems good when you are playing on N64 but a hell when you try it in emulator, you can see a shit. Beating each level in the emulator using pc keyboards was a hell for me, i don't know how the speedruners nerd do it that quick without a N64 controller.

What games should I get on my 3ds now that I've finally got around to hack it? About to go on a long trip with no wifi

I wanna share some thoughts about FF7 Rebirth after completing it. tl;dr the game is SO GOOD when they just do new flashy versions of the original story (pic related). Most of the new ideas are bad though. The exception is the stuff related to Jessie.

Spoilers following.

In Rebirth you watch a recording of a show that Jessie did at the Gold Saucer and it is a very powerful emotional moment. Jessie being a famous actor is the only new idea that worked in Rebirth. Everything else is so stupid. It grinds my gears so much that instead of getting Rocket Town, we get stupid chocobo minigames, alternate timeline Zack, and some literally who Wutai commander talking to Rufus Don't you think they could have used that energy to make Rocket Town instead of just skipping it? The whole Rocket Town scenario just doesn't happen in FF7 Rebirth, and that is BS.

PS. Oh yeah, a new idea that was good is the Vincent boss battle. That was fucking metal, brutal, edgy. Like some PS2 Devil May Cry shit. Although it is preceded by Cait Sith box elevator puzzles.. one of the worst things in any video game ever. The only thing that got me through that horror is pure love for FF7, I tell ya.

Oh yeah it is hilarious at the beginning of the game with the Nibelheim sheriff. "Sephiroth, you sick son of a bitch!!". That was so funny. It was like watching a B horror movie, but a B horror movie that is actually really good and the actors put in a great enthusiastic performance.
