Everyone can choose to be as wrong as they want

I respect your objectively incorrect opinion

Eh, I honestly found 64 DS way more fun than Odyssey, even if controls are objectively inferior.
I just prefer the strict 150-Star limit, instead of the hundreds of Stars, most given for incredibly inane "accomplishments" like breaking a sparkling rock, or tracing patterns, or memorising how to create a Mario face.

Odyssey really could've benefitted from a strict cap in this case, pruning out all the stupid and overly frustrating stuff. I can't think of a single 64 DS Star I actively dislike, while I can think of many for Odyssey.

64 was a ton of fun, also really enjoyed sunshine

Galaxy had its own charm but felt repetitive

I've never played Sunshine, nor do I plan on doing so - it's more similar to Galaxy than 64 in terms of Stars, as each location forces the player to get Shine Sprites in a set order, aside from those hidden around Delfino Island itself (and Blue Coins). Also, fuck the Sprite in the hotel casino, and fuck the pachinko Sprite, and fuck the lily-pad-on-poison-water Sprite.

I'm happy with 64 DS. Near-perfect game; if only Nintendo would remake the remake for Switch 2 or something, giving it proper controls and increased visual quality.

For someone who never played sunshine you seem to have an unholy grasp of where all the shine sprites are?

@x65943 I've watched chuggaaconroy's LP of Sunshine before. It's quite old by now, but I have watched it several times over the years, so I do know about Sprite locations (and how BS some of them are).

I don't understand someone who would watch someone else play a game several times but never play it themselves

@x65943 Some games are just not for me, I can still enjoy watching others play them.
That being said, generally I prefer playing them myself, I only watch the ones I don't want to play, or sometimes ones I'm on the fence about.

@x65943 I didn't have a GameCube at the time, nor did I know about Dolphin (if it even existed back then), so I straight-up couldn't play Sunshine; besides, chugga is/was a funny and entertaining commentator, so even if I couldn't or didn't want to play the game myself, he still made watching him play it entertaining.

In short, I never did watch chugga's Sunshine LP for Sunshine; I watch it for his commentary, his explanations and jokes and all the times he died trying to get Sprites (and his reactions to these). Same for any of his other LPs; heck, I only learned of and became interested in Xenoblade because of his highly-detailed yet still entertaining XC1 Wii LP. Same goes for EarthBound and Mother 3 and Ōkami.

    Yeah, I'm addicted to smoking, sadly. It's very addictive but I wish I didn't start.

    @SylverReZ, you played that Mario flash game called Mario 63?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No, but I've seen it on Vinesauce's stream.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, that game is one of the reasons i met newgrounds bc the full versión of it is in that site
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Also somebody is remaking it
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Reason how I found Newgrounds: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/249365
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.

    https://tcrf.net/Pico_VS_Bear
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
