New installs don't feel like home without them.
Unparalleled customization and plugin options. The default skin is super bare bones, but if you like to tinker, you can build it out to your exact specifications. Invaluable for audiophiles with large self hosted collections and for scraping metadata, album art, lyrics, or automating path and filenaming conventions.
No, sorry, I'm referring to the 2007 Wii game. Instead of turn based battles it was a more traditional 2d-3d hybrid platformer with RPG elements.
Super Paper Mario was more platformer than RPG.
Cool premise, but they couldn't have picked a more narratively underwhelming roster.
Boomer take, but going from NES to the SNES and seeing the advances in sprites and animations in Nintendo games like Donkey Kong Country, Link to the Past, Yoshi's Island, and Super Metroid was really mind blowing.
Also seeing the early days of more cinematic approaches to storytelling in SquareSoft games like FF IV, VI, and Chrono Trigger. Those really forshadowed how games would mature into a serious storytelling medium for me. FF IV's opening scene on the airship and the music is still burned into my brain.
The transition to 3D the following generation was also insanely impressive obviously, but none of those games have aged half as well as the 32 bit era.
When has that ever happened (except for those several hundred times)?
But what about the fog on the windows?
Probably the prologue sequence that was shown in the trailer.
Isn't Firefox sync E2E encrypted?
