I got back into it about a month ago, picking up from where I left off in 2019. I’m playing the stories and maps in chronological order, and because there’s loads of incentives to go do stuff or collect things in older maps, there’s been people around the entire time. People have been super-duper helpful to me anytime I mention that I’m a returning player. Lovely game, lovely community.
I introduced a friend to Earthbound and we played it together on the SNES app. It was nice because I could watch them play and point my cursor to things, and even take the controls from time to time. It’s not a bad way to play games but I have better options for playing retro alone.
I really, really hate this trend of not localizing titles that presumably sound cool in Japanese, but are just like ??? in English. Various Daylife is the worst offender I’ve seen so far 💀
This game fulfills my only two requirements. Anime girls, and fishing.
