I never was allowed a lot of playtime as a kid.
We only had one TV in the living room and the whole family was there for the holidays and we had stuff going on. I've also never used guides. I'm amazed I got that far.
During the school year I was only allowed to play Friday until Sunday at 6 until graduating HS. Now kids have iPads lol. Games took months to beat usually so playing them back as an adult is often a better experience.

Im sure that made game time more special when you got to have it and gave you a more well rounded set of interests. extremely grim how parents let ipads raise their kids before they can fucking read now.

Are there any benefits of using an old computer box to play retro PC games or am I just better off using a modern one?
My current box is a Dell. It has a motherboard inside, with a processor from Intel, as well as memory, a north bridge chipset, a south bridge chipset, a battery, BIOS ROM chip, pin jumpers, DIP switches, PCI slots, a GPU graphics card board, a sound board from a company called Sound Blaster, a CD-ROM for playing DOS-Roms, a heat sink, 2 fans as far as I can see, a floppy disk drive, a power supply unit, a PATA IDE SSD disk drive, LED lights on the front BUS driver, and a power button.

One of the slowest games on SNES and that’s saying something. The soundtrack was too serious and not catchy.

It was a very dark game.
Fathers wouldn't buy it for their kids. It also came much later at SNES cycle. Capcom didn't market it enough.

It was asking to be a flop.

Turns out, ten years after the Retrobright fad from a decade ago, has only accelerated the yellowing of plastics and made them even more brittle than just leaving them alone. What more is there to really add?

Use 5% hydrogen peroxide that's 50% hydrogen peroxide/50% water mix. It's more gentle, and doesn't leave the plastic damaged to where it'll quickly re-yellow or become weak and brittle.

By the way, I thought I'd run this up the flagpole, see who salutes; I've discovered a bunch of tie-in novellas/novels for various /vr/ games, and I thought it might be fun to have a sort of book club, maybe start it in January. Basically, I'd start the thread, post a few chapters every day to give everyone time to read/discuss the story so far. I was thinking of having it be a weekly thing, maybe fortnightly if people prefer to space things out.

Either way, I wanted to see what game people wanted to start off with, so I picked out a selection

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZP7vWiaxw7Y
Given how the latest game in the franchise has gotten everyone thirsty af, I thought it'd be fun to look back to where it all began with the novelisation of the first Baldur's Gate as well as the BG2 novels. The reading level is par for any D&D novel i.e. teenagers and above, and there's three of them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xqf8jID9TsE
Yes, this had tie-in books. Again, there's three of them, but these were for a younger audience, aimed at kids who were getting confident reading, so they should be the easiest to get through

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-i8HYi1QH0
Yeah, I had to include this motherfucker. The reading level is somewhere between the two above options. There are four novellas, all about the length of a Goosbumps book.

Natures were an oddly obscure thing when they were introduced in Gen 3, I recall there's an NPC that mentions "Pokémon with different natures seem to grow faster or slower in different ways", or something, but that's the extent of their explanation.
Behind the EVs and IVs systems further obscuring how a Pokémon's final stats are determined, it's difficult for any casual player to grasp how any of these things work.

It wasn't until Heart Gold / Soul Silver that Game Freak finally put something in that indicates that natures have a positive and negative effect on two stats, or some have no effect.

That, and natures are not exclusively just for stats, they determine which flavors a Pokémon enjoys or hates, and therefore which berries or Poké Blocks they should eat and ultimately their potential in Contests.
