Sadly many have died during the recent purge of this forum, I'm astounded to see this thread still standing despite the damages… /j

I am Rukia btw. I decided to change my name..

 

[Kamako]

Playing Metroid, running around without the slightest fucking clue what to do, and I've just read that to progress I have to fire 5 missiles at a specific door, that gives no indication it is even being affected by them (I fired 3 rockets at it about an hour ago and nothing happened so I stopped trying cos I only have 10)

Makes me want to eat my own head

Rukia died in the ensuing purge, I can sometimes hear her voice echoing, talking about how much of a bum Renji is…

Finishing Metroid NES blind years ago is still one of my proudest game accomplishments. Cryptic doesn't begin to describe it.

Nicely done. I'm annoyed at myself for looking it up, but I'd have been proper sour if I'd wasted even more of my weekend looking for an alternative route, only to find out the solution was something I'd already tried, that yielded no results the first time around....

Just gonna cross my fingers the path forward is clearer from here on out (but I ain't gonna hold my breath)

Random fact- one of my nicer memories with my dad was watching him play ff7 and pointing out what he was fighting in a strategy guide before I could read.

The rules! In a similar vein, you just jogged a memory in me of watching my Dad do the torture sequence in MGS1. He used his ring finger (who tf uses their ring finger to button mash?)

Funnily enough I had a very similar experience with my Mom and FF8. She had me control the battles though, and read the options out loud, basically using it to teach me to read. (We also used other games and non video games too, but still, FF8 was one of the more common games we played.)

That's exactly why I had to change my name. I can't be associated with someone like him.

I have very fond memories of getting BADLY lost for hours and hours at a friend's house playing Metroid on NES.

I've obtained the bomb item now, and I think I know just the place to use 'em

Bomb everything! A lot of hidden bombable paths are unmarked.

We’re acting good Mahito, besides the bleeding guy laying to the side with an unhinged jaw.

It's uncle in my case, taught me everything there is to vidya gaming, the most vivid memory I have is him playing Chocobo Dungeon and left all the decision to me while he is doing the control, he explained why such and such magic work/doesn't work, how to read a map etc. He did the same thing for other games too.

...?
At least, everything is fine.

I wish physical games still came with manuals. These notes I made while playing through the first Resident Evil still make me chuckle.

I tried to write them somewhat cryptically, because I thought that's how you write hints
I was like 7-8 years old

I believe I still have notes for cheats for GTA Vice City somewhere around here, I'll post when I find it.

I used to love reading them on the car ride home.
