Some context on why this is uplifting might be helpful :)

Really appreciate seeing folks voice this sentiment, thanks for contributing to a positive culture here :)

What happened with raspberry pi?

Huh… Yeah that is odd, “or” probably would have been more helpful 😅

Or two separate lists, since controller being preferred probably does generally come with controller support

I was gonna reccomend splatoon 3 but its a switch game that’s primarily online multiplayer matches, and while you can absolutely play it with sticks only it REALLY shines brightest with motion controls (yes, really. Motion control for fps aiming is amazing), but lots of people do play with purely analog sticks for aim.

Probably not quite what you’re looking for, but it does have a single player story and a really cool looking rougelite/roguelike mode, though I haven’t played the latter. And then it also has an online cooperative mode.

Splatoon is a really unique movement shooter where shooting or attacking leaves colorful ink on the ground, which you can then swim in for mobility, health regen, and refilling your ink tank (your ammo). The enemy (in single or multiplayer) leaves their own ink color that slows you down, stops you from swimming, and slowly damages you when you’re standing in it.

The result is a really interesting, fast paced fps about controlling space effectively and out maneuvering your opponent with a wide variety of weapons all with their own playstyles- the unique weapons are a huge highlight of the game

Yeah thats very fair. My impression is that Draynos hacks are usually not brutal, but there’s no version that doesn’t patch difficulty so if you like the challenges you either play with higher difficulty or you pick a different patch

I want more vanilla+, so I’m usually a tad bummed about that, but people regard his hacks really highly, even if theyre less what I’m looking for :)

I hope you find the right one for you! ☺️

In the states it also varies a lot. You have groups like the the socialist rifle association, but lots of american leftists are also anti-gun, there’s a range of views on the subject.

I would guess its the majority of american leftists that are anti-gun, but I could certainly be mistaken

That would make me deeply happy, and significantly increase our ability to accomplish any of the changes we’d like to see in the world

Same as the other commenter so far. It gives better audio quality than any other I’ve tried. I’m not sure if it has editing though, I don’t use it a ton

Edit: I looked and yeah, I don’t think it supports editing, sorry :/

I hope you fine one that fills your needs

I just wanna stop for a moment and say I really appreciate all the hard work you’re doing.

Its really not the easiest to find news stories that are sincerely really good news, and not just a slight letup of something awful.

Your posts make my timeline a much nicer place and I really appreciate it ❤️

That sounds like absolute hell lol- best of luck my friend, may your patience last longer than mine would! ❤️

Hey, I was researching my options for gen 5 and found this very helpful thread (though I don’t know that it’s entirely complete):

https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonROMhacks/comments/1chx77r/compilation_of_vanilla_quality_of_life_qol_hacks/

and this option from the thread, which is compatible with following platinum if you wanted quality of life, plus your pokemon following you :) (frankly I really wish I had played this instead 😅)

https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/platinumqol-now-compatible-with-following-platinum.465574/

and following platinum https://pokehacking.com/fangames/following-platinum/

I think I was mistaken that renegade is compatible with following platinum, here’s it’s page if you’re interested in something that makes more changes and adjusts the difficulty curve :)

Hope you have a lovely day! ☺️

Honestly I largely did too, I pick my favorite designs from each gen and make a team with them, but it worked out okay! I considered chimecho but I mostly just adore chingling and it’s way too weak to battle with. I also considered using trash wormadan; steel and bug are my favorite types, but it’s not that compelling of a design, and it’s not very good 😅. I’d love to include it on a team someday though

The fact that you get locked into combat as soon as you step into the room with her (unlike all the elite four) nearly completely fucked me over, but fortunately I was able to stall and item spam all my Pokémon back to full health 😅

I tend to really like building teams that can beat stuff a lot stronger than me, so curse on spirit tomb, toxic on toxicroak, and gastrodon and bastiodon to wall did a lot of work 😅 I think I used curse to beat like three of her strongest Pokémon lol. Its such a dumb move, I love it so much.

It was definitely hard though, and item spam is kind of a cheesy way to beat stuff

I think you may have made a typo of “pay” instead of “play” :) Either that or I’m mistaken about what kinda game factorio is…

This is my first playthrough with most of these games, so I’m tending to pick stuff thats very vanilla+ or just focused on quality of life, to cut down on some of the tedium and frustration that Pokémon often comes with

I’m not sure if I’ve maybe played one of his hacks so far, but I wish he had patches that didn’t make the difficulty changes and stuff if I don’t want them, I think he usually hasn’t had that as an option

I still need to sit down and investigate what if any ROM hacks I might wanna pick for gen 5, his will be one I take a look at. Plus I need to go double check which games I was gonna play, I think I was planning black and white 2, but have to go look stuff up and ask my friend who’s a huge Pokémon nerd her thoughts

(I nearly broke my run with a cheat to give myself max TMs at the end cause I think the game is better when you can play with designing your team- the cheat overwrote all of my HMs without me realizing, and I deleted waterfall off my Pokémon who knew it. Off the top of her head she was just like “oh seaking learns it by level up at 40 if that helps”, I was so glad I mentioned to her I might have fucked myself over completely on a whim while texting lol. So I have a seaking named escalator now 😌)

I really like really like the names Macarona and V

That sounds like a blast! I’m not a super competitively knowledgeable player, this was actually my first platinum playthrough. Technically I started black or white when I was a kid, but I burned out and set the game down pretty quickly. I love Pokémon on paper but find a lot of the gameplay a bit tedious honestly 😅 I play mostly cause I fall in love with the Pokémon designs and the games are how you get to engage with them. Battleing is fun though.

I had fun using curse and stalling my way through the elite four though lol. Except the fire guy, garchomp with earthquake one-shot all of his Pokémon which was kinda funny 😅

The clear blue layer around his orange body kinda reminded me of a marble :3 I struggled with what to name him for a while lol 😅 But I’m happy with what I landed on ☺️

The ROM hack I’m playing is just following platinum. I don’t remember what quality of life changes there are, but it adds your Pokémon waking behind you like in HG SS

This is my first play through, so I wanted something focused on quality of life stuff, or that could be described as vanilla+

https://pokehacking.com/fangames/following-platinum/

(Having looked at the link now I don’t think it adds any quality of life stuff, and I just REALLY wanted my Pokémon to follow me. I think renegade might have a version based on following platinum though? It makes more changes like difficulty though)
