What finally gave out on it? I'm shocked to hear it lasted THAT long honestly!
Hopefully I don't screw up and delete anything here- it was kind of the game system equivalent of multiple organ failure. The disc tray has been difficult for a while, but last night, it stopped reading discs, was overheating, got noisy, and the AV cables gave out to boot. She had a good run.
Ah, I see. yeah it's a good thing you had a replacement ready, because while you *CAN* repair old consoles like this.... the cost usually outweighs the benefit. essentially it's why my dreamcast is kinda crippled LOL
I have gotten a dreamcast fixed, but that was a laser only issue, so less daunting— this just seemed above my DIY level by a lot
The older DR's had a main character that was kind of created specifically for the story, so there wasn't really anything in the way of character customization outside of like, bonus unlockables. Also no worries! (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
Ahhh, that makes sense. This is super “role playing” based, with a lot of choose your actions/ how you treat and talk to people stuff above any other sort of gameplay so far, so in context, the custom main character makes sense. It’s interesting so far.
Hey, please let me know if this disappears, too! I tried the direct post, and it went away, and then the comment one did, too- my post about the unicode hearts on my own profile was kind of a test. I kind of liked the goofy character designs, though, and the weird tonal/content shifts had a definite vibe. I have a soft spot for wonky OVAs, though. I respect something that really goes for it, even if it fails. Plus, I
didn’t know a thing about what it was going to be and almost spit-taked cranberry sauce across my craft table at “wow, I did not have ‘giant dominatrix explodes a schoolgirl’s guts out the top of her head’ on my OVA bingo card at all, but that’s anime, baby”
That being said, I kind of like Nora, too? The first would be unremarkable on its own, but Twinkle Nora is off base to such an unconventional degree, in terms of story, animation, all of it, that I think it made the first retroactively more interesting to me. I don’t think it’s good by any means, but sometimes it’s better to be fascinating than it is to be competently made.
Okay cool! I sent it to you, sorry for the delay!! (︶^︶)
No, not at all, it is the opposite of a situation where an apology would be remotely necessary! This is a great spot in a day that started on hard mode, thank you!
I feel super rude saying this, but I didn’t get the email! o___o I am also at miela583#1459 on discord; I will run tests on that email after work today before implementing it- I apologize for the trouble!
