Had kind of a weird health day. I'm fine but had to go to the hospital and deal with lots of tests, which meant lots of waiting around and killing time
Started a new save of #PokemonRed and went hunting for #RetroAchievements. I have played through this dozens of times and THOUGHT I knew it like the back of my hand, but thanks to RA I learned some obscure stuff like that you can Cut tall grass, and get five free Pokeballs from Professor Oak

I figured out how to get #RetroAchievements working on my Miyoo, which I brought with me to the hospital. If anyone else is on RA, let's be buds!!

Mi primer mastered en RetroAchievements. Mi segundo juego de Game Boy tras el tetris fue éste pero en su versión Mickey Mouse. ¡Menuda memoria muscular tengo todavía!

So, I finally got around to doing a new blog post on Ishambard's Nest.
Yes, I do remember it exists and I want to be better at uploading to that, mostly because it is a better venue for in-depth thoughts on games and stuff.I figured, however, to back up a little bit, and I wanted to talk a little bit about #RetroAchievements I wanted to provide some context to what it all is and why I engage with it as much as I do.
It wouldn't be a Nest post without it being a bit of rambling scree, but honestly, at this point I am still trying to articulate this to all to myself as much as I am to you.

So I told RetroAchievements to surprise me today, and I'd play the game it picked. I got the game X-Kaliber 2097 for the SNES.
This game is equal parts ridiculously hard, and ridiculously bad. After trying to play the game like normal, I was like F THIS, and threw on cheats.
Let me tell you something! These game is still just as stupid with cheats on. I almost rage quit the game multiple times.
Anyway I mastered it on RA after slogging through it, but I'm not proud, I'm not happy, and I hope I never play that trash again.

I love RetroAchievements, but most emulators that work with it allow AI slop code or are partially closed-source. You'd think retro games would be safe, but ofc LLMs have to ruin that as well.

I ripped and teared, until it was done. Wait. Wrong game.
I don't dislike Quake, as I made my way through chapters 3 and 4, I could fill some semblance of skill building, it probably helped that layer levels feel a little less claustrophobic, making fiends a little easier to work with.
#Quake feels like that friend of a great friend (Doom, in this case), and whilst you get on with this friend there are time when their humour doesn't land or they have a take that you find a little too questionable. It doesn't mean they are a bad person, you just can't see yourself hanging out with them unless it is in a group that includes your good friend.
Am I going to seek out more Quake after that? Besides Quake 2 that is. It's unlikely. Am I going to go back and play through it again? Not sure, I don't think it will be anytime soon if I were to.

So, I was going to say how much easier Episode 3 of Quake was, sure the game throws more Vores at you, but there are ways and means to deal with most of them pretty effortlessly.
I was riding high for a little while, thinking I had this in the bag... And then hit episode 4...
Episode 4 on #N64 #Quake is savage. For starters you skip E4M1 and are thrown into E4M2. So all you have is a shotgun, in a stage that throws a Shambler and multiple Vores. Sure, there are a handful of power-ups, like a Pentagram of Protection, Quad Damage, Ring of Invisibility. But you need to get to them first, and unleash enough hell to get by.
That was rough. But... It wasn't The Pain Maze, E4M6. I gave big ups to the Shambler... But the Spawns, Episode 4's new enemy. My god. Worst enemy I have encountered in an FPS for a while. And the Pain Maze has 49 of the blighters!
I was quite locked in on this one, and burnt a little midnight oil for this one.

So, I have figured a rather foolhardy long term goal.
I am going to work my way through a bunch of different consoles from my youth, and aim for 50 #RetroAchievements masteries for each console.
Currently looking at:
N64
SNES
NES
Gameboy
Gameboy Color
Gameboy Advance
Sega Genesis
PlayStation 1I crunched the numbers and across those systems i have already done 201. So that would be another 199 games in total.
I am already halfway there!
That should keep me busy for a while and I am sure I will find even more weird things to experience!
