makes me think about how so many games moving from older systems to modern ones (whether ports, emulation or even sequels) suffer from losing the features and nuances of the controllers they were designed for and people don't really realise unless they're familiar with the original

also i switched to using a gamecube controller today and it feels so much better like this... movement is way less twitchy and you actually have analogue control over mario's squirt pressure & click the trigger down to squirt in place instead of it just being 2 separate buttons

i picked mario sunshine back up after dropping it like....a year and a half ago. got past some kinda bullshit parts & i'm having fun with it again

if anyone was wondering about my bots getting migrated from bots in space, i haven't forgotten about it, i just need to make a code change to make them compliant with the instance i was planning to move them to & i haven't got around to doing that yet. it will happen though!!

there's 4 of them now!

Any new year resolutions? (to be fair I didn't pick one) — Sort of. I made a list of some things I want to try to do or change this year and so far I haven't had the energy to follow through on any of them https://retrospring.net/@taizou/a/113857922483342498

Is Conte a Ninja Turtle? — I don't have the enegy to answer this question https://retrospring.net/@taizou/a/113852477158058904

Best non-licensed console fighting games? — the Vast Fame ones on GBC. They use the engine from Takara's KOF games so they were working from a solid foundation but they're really good. Especially Queen Fighter 2000

Favorite original (i.e. not a ROM hack) bootleg/unlicensed title?… — Squirrel King. It's one of my favourite Mega Drive games overall & probably the best example of Gamtec's work on the system. Fun to play, great music… https://retrospring.net/@taizou/a/113852356266914658

Why do they call it oven when you of in the cold food of out hot eat the food? — Actually it comes from ovum because people used to bake eggs in them in the olden days https://retrospring.net/@taizou/a/113852137796392643
