i caught myself doing something when playing smt 3 today, that I think I do when I play most jrpgs. When waiting to be attacked I sometimes hit a button, A or B in this case and sometimes my character will dodge the attack. this introduces a weird confirmation bias in my mind like hitting the button is actively a mechanic of the game that is undocumented and I am helping my guy dodge even though I pretty sure its just dice rolls.

someone told me there was a certain order you could hit the ? blocks in SMW's little bonus rooms to get the 1-up every time. even though it clearly didn't work every time i still did it that way for years in case it had any effect edit: these ones.  i googled to get a pic and the first thing i found was a way to get 1-ups every time. except its you're supposed to hit a corner precisely with a cape spin. maybe it's real but i don't trust it big deal fucked around with this message at 07:15 on Sep 15, 2021 |

I try to use it sparingly, only in unfairly hard games and levels, but I will use the rewind feature on the NSO NES/SNES/Genesis games

Just watch someone else do it while you play Elmo’s Fantastic Counting (Extra Deep State Dept of Education edition) on twitch TV my dear sir.

I don’t fully understand the appeal of save scumming for Jump King because I don’t see the appeal of the game outside of the challenge. The mechanics aren’t incredibly satisfying, the story is non-existent, there just doesn’t seem to be a lot there. It’s like save scumming Flappy Bird.

It’s too bad a lot of the games that I think would benefit the most from non save scummed play throughs are buggy and often poorly designed UI pieces of poo poo. Like Elder Scrolls and Stalker (Mind you it’s still in my top 3 games) and so on.

despite owning and enjoying Zelda games for most of my life I never finished one until Link Between Worlds, just a bit before BotW came out I have since finished a bunch of them but I went a real long time just starting and never finishing a Zelda game even though I liked them

the suikoden post reminded me that, for reasons passing my understanding, i always confuse the suikoden series with the shining force series. there should be no reason for it. they do not have similar titles and they are not similar games. i have never played one of them or even seen it referenced often and i played the other one because my wife had fond memories of it as a kid and wanted to show it to me. even now i had to look up which was which (shining force 2 was the one we played, i've never seen anyone play any suikodentitle). i don't know how it happened and five years of trying to fix it hasn't helped. by tomorrow, i will remember that i made this post, but not which game series was which.

I still do the down + B thing whenever I play a Pokemon game. It's like a good luck charm even if I found out when I was still a kid that it wasn't a real thing.
