Silver ArrowsI finished #BG1 (that was quick) and was thinking what to play next. I remembered I finally have a device I can play my Gamecube games on!
I've wanted to play #PathofRadiance for ages. Man, Titania is an absolute tank.
I finished Path of Radiance! I want to play Radiant Dawn again, although I'm definitely removing the support between Sothe and Micaiah, because otherwise it just reeks of grooming and incest.
I benched Ilyana until I realised I needed her for Zihark's support bonus, and she turned out to be pretty good!
Rolf started out as being made from rice paper, but with a bit of spamming, he turned out to be really strong, with high accuracy and critical rates.
Oscar is my man 💚
Now I'm trying to decide. Do I replay #BG1 (I missed a lot the first playthrough, including forgetting to go back and complete Durlag's Tower!), or see if my physical copy of #BG2 works on my PC (it should at least work on my old Win7 netbook, since I played BG1 on there)? Or shall I continue with #FireEmblem and play #RadiantDawn?
I decided I wanted to complete more of BG1 (I missed the best parts of Durlag!). So this time I'm playing as Halsin 😆 but no bear transformations for you, Halsy!
I finished my second playthrough and this time I remembered to complete Durlag's Tower. Protip: it's a good idea to empty as much of your inventory as you can before starting the tower. Dump your non essentials in a chest or something, because there is a crap ton of stuff to loot.
I also did Mendas's quest. The butter knife of Balduran! 😆 Yay!
I started #BG2 and I'm thinking, maybe I'll need to buy the enhanced edition, because the interface just seems pretty clunky compared to what I'm used to from BG1EE. And I can't import my save file, nor my character file. I'll wait till it's on offer. When I revisit BG3, I'm going to leave pretty much everyone behind. I'll recruit Asty (because I've still not done his romance yet) and Halsin (yay three way), but the rest can naff off haha.
I've been playing Brawl lately. Ahhh, the start of the #kidicarus #rabidfangirlism! Man, those were the days.
In-game screenshots don't work on Dolphin, it just saves them as blank. So I used Dolphin's inbuilt screenshot function, only it saves it low res without the antialiasing. So I'll probably just have to use the Windows screenshot function.
Oh man, if I had this during the peak of my rabid fangirlism, I'd have probably created a small black hole from all the screenshots I'd have taken. I don't know how that works, I'm just saying I would have, okay!
Anyway, I figured out why the graphics looked so crap in #FireEmblem Radiant Dawn and Brawl. I had to manually enable antialiasing and high res in the settings. It looks much better now.
I think I must have played Path of Radiance in easy mode, cos normal mode on this one feels harder 😅
#TIL (well last week actually) that a lot of the #DonkeyKong games were actually made by British developers. I just assumed they were made in Japan. I've never played them. Diddy Kong is a British invention.
Connected to that, the Bramble Blast track from #SSBB is one of my favourites, and is actually a remix of #StickerbushSymphony, which I found out when looking up what gameplay is associated with the music originally.
Which I only found out yesterday actually Is a track on #SmashBros3DS, under its original name.
And that original track (by David Wise of Rare) is the music for the #InternetCheckpoint phenomenon, which I only just find out about yesterday.

#Nintendo, being Nintendo, took it down (they couldn't have just claimed it to get the ad revenue? No, because they're Nintendo and they suck, #fcknintendo), but there's a replacement here:

Trust Nintendo to ruin one of the few wholesome comment sections.
It may be old news to many of you, but these are new and interesting facts for me!

Someone made an almost identical cover of #StickerbushSymphony.
