I got filtered. 00 mode on these levels just got way too hard for me. Especially the hitscan turrets that immediately take 1/4 of your HP for barely showing a pixel of your body. I thought I was good enough videogames, but nope. I just couldn't do it.

Seems like a ton of 00 mode is luck however. After grinding a lot of levels recently. I mean maybe I should have just watched a experienced player totally own the game with his routes, but i would be cheating myself out of the experience of learning the levels myself. I just have to say, 00 mode is brutal. I should have just beat normal mode first.

I'll start with the Neo Geo CD control pad. Everything's fine but the thumbstick; there's so much travel between "clicks" that it impacts reaction times. It's raised enough that your thumb cramps over time from the angle. This was less of an issue for Neo Geo Pocket because the contact points were closer together.

No, I'm not talking about the Classic Controller, but the Pro. Specifically, the exact one shown in the picture, the gold one, because it's the only version with a pleasant matte finish instead of the awful glossy coating they used on all the other Wii Classic Controllers, including the original one you're referring to.

The only good thing about the regular one is that it works well for GameCube games because it has analog L and R triggers. But I prefer using the NSO GameCube controller with Nintendont on my Wii U, and for everything else I use this controller: it's the best controller of the Wii era.

And don't listen to anyone who says the Wii U Pro Controller is good. Seriously, don't listen to them, as someone who was very invested in the Wii ecosystem, BUY THE SWITCH PRO CONTROLLER. The ergonomics are 100 times better, and it's also fully compatible with the Wii U through Koopair.

I'm sorry you're so incredibly poor that you can't afford any more controllers after buying the wrong one, Totodile. But the fact is, I own every Wii and Wii U controller, and I know firsthand, after playing with all of them for many many hours, what I'm talking about, unlike you.

Well, I stumbled on to this game. It damn near doesn't exist anymore. Redemption was a card game most successful among kids whose parents thought Magic was too satanic.

Which version?
Original is janky but fun because of the exploration.
Mtg 2010 is the version designed to run on modern system with touched up card art:
https://www.slightlymagic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=2349
Mtg 2012 has rewritten ui(not a fan) and further optimizations for modern systems:
https://www.slightlymagic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=7342


Now we move on the major mod:
Manalink is modern cards without adventure stuff,:
https://slightlymagic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=85&t=31457
i have no idea why anybody would want this. There was a version planned with adventure mode, but a mtg schizo bullied the dev off the web:

Beyond fucking based
I was a YGO player in my youth, recently got into Magic on account of my friends.
Its insane how cuckolded they can be at times. On one hand you've got unending complaints about Universes Beyond garbage, on the other they actually look at and seriously engage with those sets. "Oh but Krang is on meta - oh but I need to play World War Hulk" give me a fucking break. Show some goddamn backbone and don't play that shit.

>>12624428
The overworld map was the best part. I wished later games incorporated something similar. The biggest complaint I remember having was that your spirit nodes or whatever they were called were always under attack every 30 seconds. The nodes were always so far away from each other so they were hard to defend. When you lost a node, you would lose one from your maximum life total. You had to start with White, because then you would have the ability to teleport to your nodes.

I enjoy Shiren, but it's the weak link of the Mystery Dungeon franchise. (The Dragon Quest ones are the best.) The later Shiren games are better than the earlier ones, and the N64 in particular is the worst MD game I've played.

Exactly. Super Mario Bros is a different type of game altogether. One you're supposed to beat and the other you're supposed to master.

Of course this dirty Flavor Aid mosquito had to have a brain hemorrhage and used his final cognizant moments to post something retarded.

So, my main CRTs handle 60hz but not NTSC color. Usually not a problem since most consoles just give RGB output, but the Famicom is composite straight from the chip so unless I wanna play in black and white I have to use my larger B&O for which I don't have the remote which makes it hard to use. Is there any solution that decodes the NTSC signal and outputs it in RGB? Not really interested in the tricky RGB mods, especially since I'm really barely interested in the original Famicom anymore.

I've came across this video explaining the CRT advantage in drawing pixel-art and retrogaming in general:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sxKJeYSBmI

At one point PVMs (Professional Video Monitors) and BVMs (Broadcast Video Monitors) are mentioned and they also seem to be the best out of all other types of CRTs due to their professional domain of activity.

Did you guys get the chance to find any of these for sale at a decent price today?
Also got any recommendation for any specific brand or manufacturer?

>A standard 17 inch CRT monitor is practically the same height as a standard 24 inch flatscreen monitor
I wonder what a 19" (18" usable) is comparable to then. Those still seem decently obtainable. I'll only know how it feels once I find one of any size anyway. Going to order a DPA2VGAHD20 tonight in preparation. I really hope I can find at least something decent this weekend.
>If you can't live without your 32 inch giga monitor anymore then no mass produced CRT monitor will ever fill your needs
I mainly got the 32" LCD because I highly disliked the 'garbling' effect of low ppi on font rendering in asiatic text. I have to scale text to like 150% on smaller (lower res) displays just for lines not to blur. A CRT should at least give me a smoother experience for some of the games I play.
>>
If arcade nerds can have entire shipping containers of arcade cabinets (including their 29" monitors) shipped across the ocean, I think CRT nerds can handle a few hours drive to pick up a 32"+ CRT monitor. And they do.
You don't see much talk about it on /vr/ because this board skews much poorer than average for retro scene. Most of the posters here are high school kids and NEETs.

I get most people treat it as a matter of preference, but what do you anons pick between aperture grill or shadow mask in a CRT monitor? The potentially softer pixel dithering/blenfing on a decent shadow mask seems pleasant, but the added punch of color and sharpness/clarity of an aperture grill seems like it'd be more exciting by comparison, or at least less muddy. I guess there are slot masks too.
>>
>>12642678
>but what do you anons pick between aperture grill or shadow mask in a CRT monitor?
All other concerns being equal if I had to pick I would go with a shadow mask for video games.
That said, this should be like number 10 on lists of things to consider when looking for a CRT.

There are more puzzles and running back and forth talking to people in different locations on the starting island in the original version. They also cut a couple puzzles from late game dungeons in the 3DS as well. But apart from that the 3DS version is the same (barring changes to gameplay).
