40k? Nah. Although I would highly consult a financial adviser to figure out what to do with said funds, assuming you aren't broke like me and just paying off bills and such anyway.

Now, we talking 400k? Possibly.

i'm not living paycheck to paycheck and I have no debt lol, I dunno what i'd do if I hypothetically won 40k from a scratch off

should I hire a lawyer or something

imagine being this miserable

You should, being an amiibo collector is a rewarding hobby

That is regression.

the addition of gameplay mechanics without updating the balance to accommodate for them is still a regression of difficulty. You havent disproved anything, merely given a reason for it.

And again, more than that, the games very design of new games work against it.

The mid-late game dungeon in Red was Silph Co.

the mid-late game dungeons in X were the power plant (a literal straight line) and the Pokeball Factory, with all the complexity of hitting a single switch that you were linearly walked to by game design.

Silph and the Factory both had healers, though at least in Silph you had to work to find her. In the Pokeball factory there is exactly one door you cant miss, after like three or four battles.

The game design is regressing in addition to the lack of balance accommodation for new mechanics

I haven't played X/Y so I can't say much to that (like I said I stopped after b/w 2)

also, the healers in silph didn't matter much when you can just literally exit the dungeon after every battle and go to the pokemon center lol, if anything you can save that trip by saving in front of a fight and quitting after, trying again

which you can do in a lot of games

Red and Blue and Gold and Silver are weirdly programmed and have flows but they have a hundred times the thought and soul put into them compared to just about every other entry in the series outside of maybe the B/W games that tried to do something different

that's just nostalgia talk imo, I have a fondness for Ruby + Sapphire but I don't go around saying stuff like this lol, ffs I haven't touch a game since BW2 just cuz the rest of the series looks generic af, Sw/Sh is my first game in a while and I had fun

You keep saying when we were kids as if players dont regularly replay these games.

Red is still consistently more engaging in terms of difficulty than my current playthrough of X.

Granted, thats because of a generally underpowered roster, a high grind curve, and long extended routes or caves that run you through a gauntlet with limited healing options...

but the fact that 30 years later they havent only not been able to make the difficulty more engaging, but regressed it to something even more brain dead, is telling <_<

Mt Moon alone was more tense than Reflection Cave or the Pokeball factory lol.

red is only difficult (+nostalgia) because of the limitations of the mechanics, theres no natures, no held items, ghost + dragons are op etc etc, its not a regression of difficulty as much as its an increase of gameplay mechanics that basically helped the game

i dont think Pokmon has changed much in years and I as you started with red, and I know that its a huge mess of a game / as more things are added the games become inherently easier - thats basically it

Pokemon Red was for kids, and somehow Gary Oak and his Arcanine that still knew Ember for some unfathomable reason was more difficult than 99% of the 3DS era. >_>

cuz we were kids lmao we didnt know half the shit we do now + that was gamefreaks first Pokmon game the whole damn thing was a mess

Maybe that should tell you that the game is even more piss easy than the series already was, which is a huge problem.

the game is for kids the appeal for competitive Pokmon (the meta) was tailored by grown ass men lmao

people saying this game is easy have never played a pokemon game lol they're all piss easy

like you wouldn't sell out your indie game for trillions of dollars if you had the chance. Notch is in the top 25 richest people in the world. He's widely respected around the world and in the gaming community. His game isn't scammy and Minecraft is even referenced in Smash.

he's clearly unhappy with life lol if that's someone you idolize then iunno what to tell you

also, boogie is a piece of shit he's apologizing to get people off his back i doubt he understands at all why he's apologizing

It must also be enjoyable having more control over the image, as digital in comparison does a lot of the work.

100% I love being down to the basics - it's all about being familiar with the film stock, the day etc. I also slow down and I love that, when I borrowed a friend's camera and shot digital I felt all I had control over was the aperture and the shutter and if I wanted to manipulate color and character i'd have to do it in post rather than rely on the personality of the film I was using

Where do you even get your shots developed though? I feel like I would need to hit up a college campus here.

in nyc? I live nearby one in park slope on 5th and 18th I think, there's a developer in Chinatown too, and Lomography still develops too (they're in dumbo, but they're an office so you gotta ship it to them) these places also scan for about a dollar

there's also a community dark room in redhook and buschwick so you can do it yourself too

Nice, Industar usually got some crazy bokeh if that's your thing (let's be real it's everyone's thing)

fuck yeah bro I love BOKEH lmao, Holga is always about bokeh

Vol2tex posted...

Hmm, what is it like using those compared to digital?

I love it, I've been shooting film since I was in college trying to get over heartbreak. I love slapping in a really cheap roll and exploring colors and shit - also Lomography has this crazy new film immulsion stock like lomochrome purple and their new metropolis batch to shoot with and it further drives my experimentation.

120 is fun to shoot, you get only 12 shots so you really have to think on your toes with composition and stuff
