  • I am very interested in Thunder, especially considering it’s open source. While it does seem packed with features, I’d love to see a bit more customizability though. I might submit some feature requests some day but looking now there are nearly 200 issues as it stands. Not a complaint, just an observation. Keep up the good work!













  • Well to me, this meme reads like someone assuming Internet was needed to 100% a game, while, at least for me personally and the games I played growing up, 100% just wasn’t really a thing. I either beat the game, i.e. beat the final boss/level, or I didn’t.

    I even remembered hating achievements and was somewhat let down when they added trophies in a PS3 patch. I never liked the idea of ‘achievement hunting’ as I felt it detracted from the fun of the game. I find myself doing some of this still today, though I can’t help but feel like if they didn’t exist, I’d be happier.

    Though to be fair, I never grew up with a Nintendo or anything beyond a Gameboy Color, not did I play many RPGs, including FF. The closest I can think of is collecting all the Pokemon in the first gen games (never owned any others). But of course, that required multiple versions of the game and multiple Gameboys and/or friends.

    Today however, RPGs are some of my favorites and games are an entirely different experience.


  • You can tell this meme was made by a Gen Z/Alpha gamer because games generally didn’t used to measure ‘completeness’ since that’s primarily measured today by trophies/achievements.

    Sure, some games might have shown a percentage on your save file and of course you could find/complete everything in a strategy guide, but even those might not have shown absolutely everything including but not limited to Easter Eggs.

    Edit: I grew up with a Sega Genesis, Gameboy, and eventually PlayStations.
