Korea is facing a huge population crisis in the not-so-distant future. They already have ties to the U.S., too.

I have the problem where I live in a country where I do not speak the language of the majority. Libraries aren’t much use to me, here. I do have a card, though. I should see if they do the epub lending thing in English.

I have a large phone and I make the text pretty tiny, but I agree. My eyes aren’t quite what they used to be, and I can tell I’ll probably be hitching the font size up sometime to the point where frequent page turns might get annoying.

Reading. Books are super easy to ahem find. OLED screens make reading really comfortable at night. Black background, dark orange text, and turn off all the lights and it’s like text is floating in the air in front of you. There are plenty of epub readers out there. Moonreader is my favorite. I paid $5 for it years and years ago now. Absolutely worth it.

Used to be 18 or 20, then I had a kid and 2 became the norm.

Yeah. Reacting? Not a problem! Waiting to react? Ohshitohshitohshit!

I love the combat! There’s nothing more satisfying than learning an enemy’s moves perfectly and then getting that juicy 20% experience boost for whacking them without taking a hit. The balance is a bit off sometimes, but when it’s on, it’s amazing. I finished a long, difficult fight last night with my last character being the only one standing. It was such a cool moment.

Enemies with huge, super-slow wind ups to their attacks can take a hike, though. If I can accidentally parry four-five times in the time it takes you to wind up your attack, just maybe my character should be preemptively counter attacking, y’know.

I thought I saw in very recent patch notes that there was a community-made version of SM2?

Zelda 1 seems an odd omission from the supported games. I wonder if some games are harder to implement than others or something.

“개새끼” (pronounced gay sek ee) literally translates to “dog baby”. “Son of a bitch” in Korean. It’s honestly the only example I can think of in Korean. I guess you also hear “돼지” (pronounced dway ji) meaning “pig” for fat people. Pretty bog standard around here I guess.

OK! We weren’t super active, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to just recreate what I had there. I’m happy to see a production community already here. There’s understandably a lot of overlap. 😄

Cool! Thanks! I’ll have a look.
