  Oh, I played through Dawn as a kid multiple times. It’s great. It’s what made me play Aria in the first place.

  I’ve tried Bloodstained, but another game release got in the way. Definitely need to give it another go.

  Thanks for the recommendations, I’ll check them out.

  I used RetroArch when I played Aria. Works, has support for Retroachievements built in, is cross platform, and I even got it to where I could save on mobile and have it sync to my PC and vice versa, but I don’t like the interface. I even got to the point where I could theoretically sync the saves to my modded 3DS, but only manually.

  It’s a great website. I used it a couple years ago as an excuse to finally play the predecessor to the first castlevania game I played as a child.

  They can, but just like real bees they lose their stinger when they do and die shortly thereafter.

  Whenever I hear someone say that something is impossible with current technology, I think about my grandma. When she was a kid, only some important people had telephones. Doctors, police, etc.

  In her lifetime we went from that to today, and, since she’s still alive, even further into the future.

  Whenever someone calls something impossible, I think about how far technology will progress in my own lifetime and I know that they’ve got no idea what they’re talking about. (Unless, like you said, it’s against the laws of physics. But sometimes even then I’m not so sure, cause it’s not like we understand those entirely. )

  As someone also using Kagi:

  1. There’s a free tier, so you can try it out as much as you want (technically you only get 100 searches, but as with all free trials you can just make a new account)

  2. There’s a cheaper tier at $5 now, which gets you 300 searches per month. Depending on how much you use it, that might just be enough.

  I had heard about the project but thought: What is my data gonna accomplish? I didn’t really pay anything outside the Pokémon games, which they probably have thousands of duplicates of.

  The very last section is what got me. Cause there were like 1-2 games I’ve never seen anyone else play that I did play and after reading the it only takes a couple minutes, if your system is modded, I took my two moved 3DS and send my data.

  Even if there’s nothing new in there, this is a worthy cause.
