It's a record of turning items into other items in the video game Finaly Fantasy 8.

I got to the last dungeon of FF8 before finding out you could turn the cards from that minigame into items.

I remember figuring out that you could eaisly max health on disc one by refining tents into curagas. I think that was the moment I became a True Gamer.

Nice. I played the game just using draw to junction crap and then gave up on the last dungeon because I didn't like the idea of having to win back all of your menu options

All I've got for stuff like that is that I printed out a bestiary for FFX and put check marks next to monsters as I caught them, because I sat down and spent like 4 or 5 hours capturing 5 of every monster for the ultimate weapon or whatever.

I did when I was young with Kirby 64, because I got the game for my birthday, but I have a summer birthday and I was away from home on vacation with the family, so I read the manual cover to cover multiple times, getting more and more excited about the game. I used the note section to make Kirby doodles

I scribbled a lot of poo poo on a piece of paper to find out the minimum amount of geo symbols I would need to move on a given map in disgaea to blow up every geo panel, and end up extrapolating the general rules and they are still well burnt in my brain, it goes like this:
- you can aways blow every geo panel if you have at least the same amount of colors in geo symbols minus one (plus the null);
- you can easily blow every geo panel by just positioning every geo symbol in the geo panels with the color that don't exist in geo symbols, for example: with the geo symbols null green blue red, and the geo panels green blue red yellow you should position every geo symbol on the yellow color, being careful to leave the null apart from the others and explode the geo symbol furthest away from the null, so it will explode last. But that's not aways possible or easy so you have the general rule for minimal steps, like explained next;
- the first geo symbol (that you will explode) goes in the color that don't exist (like yellow above), the second one also goes in that color, the third goes in the color that is equal the first geo symbol, the fourth goes in the color of the second geo symbol and so on. Keeping this in mind you can easily find ways to do a geo chain that will explode every geo panel by only moving like 2 geo symbols or so.

Earlier this month I found an old map I drew and I stared at it for a long time before figuring out what game it was, if I didn't throw it away I'll post it here and see who can guess.

Well most people probably haven't played this game and even if you have idk how you would recognize it from the map. But you can ask for hints and I THINK there is even a give-away clue hidden in the image. :iiam:
