The raw pallette Nintendo video with NTSC filters looks amazing in RetroArch on a modern screen. It looks like how I remember. I'll see if I can find a screenshot of mine later.

Eh, I'll just show some from search results. Notice how the color bleeds between pixels, and edges have color artifacts.

Also, check out this amazing Game Boy filter!

I found the juxtaposition of your comment to the one below yours to be pretty funny.

😂 You all are funny

If you don't mind me being pedantic, "et al." is short for "et alia" which means "and other people". "Etc", short for "et cetera", means "and other things". You only use "et al." when talking about people not named in a list.

The More You Know 🌠

Everyone thinks that's how it works, but you have to call them your lawyer, and they have to call you their client. You both have to behave like you're in that level of relationship. It's not automatic or forced just because you live together and have sex.

OMG! That's what those crystals are!

I disagree completely. The pixel art Castlevania games on Nintendo DS look amazing! So many little details. It's fantastic.

The site wouldn't load for me, but I did manage to capture an archive:

Four syllables is too many.

Nice! I recently played it, too.

I don't want to brag, but I'm totally going to... I also got every achievement on RetroAchievements.org in the process. I'm super proud of that. It was incredibly difficult!

Check out some of the achievements:

https://retroachievements.org/game/1454

Some are just "play the game", but then you have to "beat" both quests without ever getting a sword. I use quotes there because you can't beat Ganon without the Magical Sword, so the achievement is to get to his room. And there are some really hard one-room achievements like killing a bunch of blue Darknuts with only bombs, and killing each boss hitless. Gleeok was a pain in the ass.

Plus ones like beat the game with no deaths. You can actually die, but you have to hit Retry and lose all your progress since your last save, which means you have to save manually once in a while. I lost an entire dungeon and some rupee grinding from a death one time. Ugh. In all, I ended up beating the game about 5 times to get all the achievements.

At any rate, if you want to torture yourself, try to get them all! 😄 You just need an RA compatible emulator and an RA account.

Retro Achievements is a really cool service, and I feel like no one knows about it. I didn't know about it until a Twitch streamer mentioned it.

I agree. So far it's the best one I've used on Android. It has things like settings for font sizes.

UPDATE: I find myself using Liftoff more now. I couldn't exactly tell you why. The only things it's missing is an option to make the comment font larger.

I think you're better off just learning the Krita hotkeys and such. Otherwise, what are you going to do if you have to use it on a friend's computer or library something? You'll be totally lost.

It's not hard to relearn keyboard shortcuts. I'm speaking as a user of Photoshop for 20 years who switched to GIMP (as an example) a year ago and had to learn all the differences. If you use crutches right at the start you'll, never learn to walk.

ANY SITE THIS SOFTWARE IS APPLIED TO WILL LIKELY DISAPPEAR FROM ALL SEARCH RESULTS.

Success?

The way college works is a scam in itself. You don't need that much liberal art education. Four years and tens of thousands of dollars (sometimes hundreds of thousands) just to see if you can hack it in a job in your field? That's insane.

Most jobs should be accessible right after high school in the form of paid internships. Programming is a trade, and most of the skills should be taught in high school. Not everyone needs to be a "computer scientist", just like not every plumber needs to be a hydraulic engineer.

I've worked in a lot of programming jobs and zero of the people were what I would have called computer scientists. They were just coders who could write a conditional statement and a for loop. That gets the job done 99% of the time. (Obviously I'm greatly oversimplifying. My point is there's no "computer science" involved.)

After a job in programming for a couple years, if you want to start working on the Linux kernel and write compilers, go ahead and go to school then and become a computer scientist. That's so few people.

And then when there are no jobs hiring internships and computer science, you know not to focus on that. Do something else.

But big business hates this. They want everyone to prove in a gauntlet that you can work under super high pressure and tight deadlines that are totally arbitrary.

Thus proving that Mortal Kombat is an easy game made for babies.

You can't, which is why they said "block any community".

I like the extra challenges. Some of the achievements for The Legend of Zelda are hard, and I got all of them. It's one of the few games where I got all of the achievements. "Mastered it" in RA's lingo. And I did so in Hardcore Mode where you can't use save states or rewinding.

Achievements like "Get to Ganon without having a sword." That's an old school challenge that existed way before RA did, and the existence of the achievement in the list motivated me to actually try it. Not because I'm an achievement hunter normally, but because the achievement reminded me it was possible.

The achievement is a badge of honor. It represents an extreme struggle where I suceeded. It's an artificial struggle, to be sure, but so is most of gaming. Except for cozy games and story games, games are an artificial struggle to feed your need to challenge yourself, to get better, and to win. Games that are obscenely hard are just not fun. There's this sweet spot where a game is challenging, but you are up to the challenge, and that makes the game fun.

Getting an achievement for beating the game is not the point. It's just a record that you did so. A reminder of the struggle. It feels good to look at my profile on RA and see the four games I've mastered. I remember how hard they were, and yet I succeeded.

Here's the list. It's only 4 games. Four of my all-time favorite games. Games I adore.

The hardest one in the list was Solomon's Key. It's an action puzzle game and it gets very difficult later in the game. I had been trying to beat it off and on since 1986. There are no saves or passwords. You have to beat the game in one sitting or else leave your console powered on while you're away.

There are continues, but they're secret. There are 50 levels, and if you continue past level 41, you restart at level 41, and the rooms past 41 are haaaaaard. It's pretty grindy to get to the end, and you end up getting so good at levels 41 and up, that it's like you become a speedrunner. You just want to try to beat level 46 again or whatever, so you speed your way through 41-45.

Simply beating the game is such a major achievement, but there's also a secret ending! I didn't even know there was one until I saw the achievement for it. I'd been playing the game for 40 years, and I didn't even know it existed until RA told me.

So, when I finally beat the game, for the very first time in my life, I did so while getting every achievement and the good ending. It felt great! I will always remember that moment. And if I forget, I have the badge on my RA profile to remind me.
