Thanks for jogging my memory! I completely forgot about that core fact 😓.

i vaguely recall the retail box version of silent hill 2 or 3 for PC being not all that amazing, and later emulating the Ps2 version was a better option, not to mention the easiest option since both games for PC are not common finds. then again the PC I played Silent hill 2 on wasn’t all that beefy at the time.

maybe any games that originally were for console ported to PC with Denuvo hit this criteria. interesting question!

didn’t know about the power set. super cool bundle and the box for it is awesome. did it come with the track and field game?

I feel like many have a similar story. for me it was my n64 for PS2 games.

very true. there really something liberating about about self hosting.

i think using node and express.js is very approachable in serving your web content. https://expressjs.com/

following the hello world example on their site will help clarify how everything clicks together.

i know u said this is a project for learning, but static site hosting is pretty cheap and may provide less headaches as you’re learning. sites like porkbun offer it for $3 USD and i think even github has a free way tp host a static site. idk what running a computer at home would cost monthly in electricity.

they must have done it or the system they refurbed had it done. i thought i initially when i was buying it i was getting a 3ds xl but arrived as an ll

hmm yeah i don’t generally use crossbows either. i feel in a lot of games they’re strong but then their cooldown or reload time is super slow and takes you out of the action to load up another shot. at that time i’ve probably switched to another weapon.

mount and blade comes to mind. ill use a crossbow as i approach people on horseback but once i’m in the thick of battle its swapped out for some lance or another long pointy boi. even then id only be using the crossbow if i didn’t have a bow available to me.

edit: except in i think age of empires 2. those chinese cho ko no ku ??? units are bomb as hell

I got my 3ds LL from ali. works as expected and can play JP and US regions. its also white and it was pretty cleaned up when i received it. ive played through star fox a few times and I am halfway through OOT. approaching a year of ownership.

Ive bought a few handhelds and only had a DSi go bunk on me.

at this point amazon, etsy and other large online retailers/resellers serve the same stuff as aliexpress does, just with better shipping and return policy.

i used memmy as well and switched to Mlem over more or less what you mentioned. no complaints so far! the UI is pretty standard.

i don’t know the specifics, but i feel they’re just synonyms and they share the same age range they’d represent. in terms of subgroup, id say infant is a subgroup of child based on what i hear and say. Like i wouldn’t say i have an infant baby id just say baby. Or i don’t have a baby child, i have an infant child. 🤷‍♂️

Really appreciate all the comments and personal experiences with the game! Happy to feel I wasn’t the only one who had an initial hard time.

i learned my lesson on killing innocents when accidentally walked into the star station and they fine me all of my nuyen… still loving the game but i think I’m going to restart again with all the fresh new knowledge.

genesis seemed the way to go for this game (for my first experience). always interesting in the genesis snes console era where, despite the names of the games and their IP being the same, the experiences were very different. would love to see that confusion happen in the modern console generation haha.

thanks again!

I really appreciate the long response and in particular the games manual. After reading through it, a lot more makes sense. Thanks!

id had never thought to put sesame seeds in the breading. i will have to try this 🤝 ty

also haha to your comment my plating is certainly something im working on!

maybe a subtle taste of a fried porkchop? honestly even if i eat a pork rind normally they taste like nothing. if you can eat pork its is a great and easy substitute because it is so similar to panko

i know what im trying to make this weekend!

I tend to use either almond or cashew.

Almond to me has a bit more nutty flavor whereas cashew is like a softer butter like flavor. Depending on what i’m making determines which i will choose.

for both of these loaves I used cashew butter.

funnily, i haven’t tried peanut butter. mainly because i feel the peanut flavor would be very strong. though i should try it some time as it tends to be a cheaper option compared to almond or cashew

I would really like to try something atypical like pistachio butter, but i have a feeling it would be quite spendy.

these are nut based. id love to use grains and whatnot but my body sadly does not like their company hehehe.

Certainly. This is a recipe from Erica Kerwien That I adjusted just a little.

Basic Bread: 3/4 cup of nut butter (whatever your preference) 4 eggs 3 tablespoons of honey 1/4 cup of blanched fine almond flour 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda

mix wet ingredients until smooth then add dry ingredients. mix until smooth and pour into a 3x7 bread pan. smooth the top and let it rest for a few minutes before placing it in the oven.

i used a standing mixer, but you could also do it by hand. i also used parchment paper to make it easier to get out of the pan.

Bake at 350F for 40min or until golden. test with a toothpick.

Blueberry Bread: 3/4 cashew butter 4 eggs 3 tablespoons of honey 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/4 cup of coconut flour 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda 1 cup of blueberries

mix wet ingredients until smooth then add dry ingredients. mix in only half of your blueberries trying not to mash them up too much in the process. pour into a 3x7 pan and smooth the top. drop the remaining blueberries atop of the batter and press them slightly into the batter.

Bake at 350F for 50min test with a toothpick.

My changes to the original recipe was just adding more honey. Then for the blueberry bread i swapped out almond flour for coconut flour. i feel that coconut flour has a more softer flavor than almond flour.

Im not all that great at cooking/baking so any suggestions to improve is appreciated.
