I finished the Oracle of Ages randomizer seed I was playing . Apparently there's an issue on the branch I was playing on where both entrances for Wing Dungeon get assigned to different dungeons? But there's not enough dungeons for each entrance if you do that so a dungeon still ends up getting assi...

Oracles Randomizer: so I had forgotten completely about rescuing Nayru to access the Maku Tree. Which is where my Roc's Feather and Power Bracelet was hiding. So now the emerging logic makes sense again.

apparently I'm on a randomizer kick - I started over on my might and magic 6 randomizer seed (I'm actually keeping competent notes this time plus have regional respawns disabled), and I started a new pair of Zelda Oracles seeds. plus I figured out how to get retroarch to show sgb borders for games t...

so there's a key item randomizer for pokemon red. first seed was alright, nothing too scary or even difficult thanks to Cut showing up around the same time as the Poke Flute so that I had options getting to Lavender (but I really need to get into the speedrunner's habit of using exclusively one poke...

FFTA: Reached three-laws, my first mission after reaching three-laws has prohibited Fight so hello catnip/firebomb/provoke

well I just cursed myself by realizing that I've never actually beaten Zelda 1's Second Quest. So, uh, that's going to happen at some point this year. FFTA: Oh right I need to finish learning some of these skills. Time to farm roaming battles for a while (this is the worst part of the game by far an...

I mean it's still better than trying to get NESticle running in this day and age.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced - just cleared The Bounty, about to do the mission that shows that Doned also wound up in Ivalice.

It boils down to bepis being more sweet on average than conke.

Finally picked Might and Magic 6 Key Item Randomizer back up after a several month hiatus. I remembered to actually fix the issue with one of the helper lua scripts - math.huge is represented as 1/0 which the underlying game doesn't know what to actually do with, so setting the regional refresh to t...

are you playing ps1 or one of the ports (or a retranslation mod of either)?

there's no practical benefit to me doing that because someone at valve had the bright idea to permit idle games on steam and those massively skew the results (if you take out the idle games then mine is Spelunky 2, the Might and Magic Clash of Heroes remaster, and... uh... actually that'd be about it)

nothing wrong playing as the cleric, yo

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - Antilaws cleared, now I can strategize into the laws instead of just around them (I know that lawless mods exist, but I don't like the idea of lawless mods - it takes away some of the cheese that I get to do in turn, and obeying the laws isn't that difficult if your ...

FFTA - up to the Famfrit fight; I'm probably going to take some time to grind against wandering clans, both to develop skills and also to unlock the second tier of shop purchases (I have a Blue Saber now but I still need a Judo Uniform for the defensive ability). I've decided that Marche is going t...

I finally started over in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (starting in a clean FFTA since the hack suite I was using earlier in the year had an unavoidable crash after the fourth Totema fight which put me off of the game for a while). About to run into Ritz and Shara, working towards Blue Mage/Ninja M...

*mineycrafta mike matei voice* CHEATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111 Some day I'll have enough patience to do this legitimately again, but Emerald is already bullshit because you get PP stalled on two different members of the Elite Four. Since the game isn't playing fair, I don't see why I should ha...

Pokemon Emerald : oh wow I actually do need to level grind again (I can statescum my way past Phoebe just fine but Glacia just overpowers everything I can throw at her). At least the wild pokemon are of a decent level to do that with glares at pokemon crystal . Dune 2 but it's a rebalance mod : Up ...

I will use a guide to help learn the game first more or less If you go on to Wake of the Ravager this is more or less mandatory; you should be fine without one for Shattered Lands on your first time through (there's maybe one thing that you might get stuck on if you're just following the main plot;...

Catch me playing Dark Sun: Shattered Lands (may start that after beating a few more RPGs actually). Make a backup save when you get into the Fields of Draj, before exiting them for the first time. There's a bug with the event order that can impact whether or not the final battles start correctly or...

The problem is that I do like Mudkip (I like the Water/Ground type combo generally), it's just Mudkip gets so badly hobbled by Gen 3 having three required water-type HMs that they're nothing but an HM Slave until you get to the Pokemon League building itself (though at least you can purge Dive after...

Pokemon Emerald - because of course I still need waterfall after I get into victory road. why shouldn't I still have that gyarados I didn't want? (I knew there was a reason I never actually use Mudkip for my starter)

Pokemon Emerald - I cleared out the trainers I had left and still had to statescum my way through Tate&Liza (mostly because I forgot that the Solrock also has Flamethrower and I was switch-stalling between Shedinja and "somebody that resists what's about to knock Shedinja out" while m...

Dune 2 but it's a rebalance mod that I'm testing - so there's a bunch to be said right now the CPU does not play fair with resources... or with structure rebuilding. If the CPU manages to capture one of your structures, you have to recapture it in order to stop the CPU from just rebuilding over tha...

Pokemon Emerald: what do you mean, "rock smash still required"!? (Trick House #3)
