but those games where i actually did get anywhere, those usually took 30-45 minutes
because i took my sweet ass time to excavate the entire city of gold and also get all the embedded treasures in the olmec head room, the latter of which i got by having the olmec head do all the excavating for me
it got to the point where half of the time i was wishing i'd screw up in a particularly funny and spectacular way such that i wouldn't have to waste the time of doing that but i'd also get the satisfaction of not just goofing again
More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.
When is Nintendo going to put their games on PC? The answer is never, and that is why Nintendo will lose in the end. Windows too, but that is a story for another day.

1985 - Famicom/some other shit no one paid attention to
1990 - Super Famicom/Game Boy
1996 - Nintendo 64/Game Boy Color/Virtual Boy
2001 - Gamecube/Game Boy Advance
2006 - Wii/DS
2012 - Wii U/3DS
2017 - Wii Wii. The controller is a cell phone with two screens on it and is sensitive to motion, touch, button presses, and voice inflection. Games are controlled primarily with the player's voice. The controller talks back and has a single arm on it that it may use to physically interact with the player. Said arm can spurt liquid, but must be plugged into the cushioned charging station for 2 - 4 hours between gaming sessions. Wii Wii is backwards compatible with Wii U, Wii, and Gamecube. The 4DS handheld, which brings you into THE FOURTH DIMENSION. No, this doesn't mean the metaphysical concept of a spacial dimension beyond our fabric of reality, but rather, it spits water out at you and shakes and blows air at you and sometimes snaps shut and catches fire if you're really bad at the game. It has a third screen, on its outer top side, and this screen is used to display things to the people around you, so they can react in a suitable fashion, which is incorporated into gameplay. 4DS is not backwards compatible with 3DS, without an extension that adds two more screens to it. An additional add-on to this add-on, with another two screens, will be required in order to play DS games.
2022 - All games licensed for Nintendo consoles become freeware and only survive a nuclear apocalypse on one person's flash drive, but it's a very big flash drive, so big that it stretches across a continent. This flash drive is buried for many years.
40000 - The 401st century. The flash drive is recovered from Earth's crust and emulated on the only computer in the world. Nintendo becomes a religion that dominates the galaxy as humans expand into space and pillage and destroy the entire known universe.
Man, you can't just assume that future people will worship anything they dig up from the ground. Maybe they'll dismiss it rightfully as a toy of the old age and only a couple of dedicated museumdroids will even remember it existed.
So I was screwing around in Ys Origin waiting for Steam cards to pop, and I tried Adol in time attack. I used to think he was shit, but now that I've done Oath in Felghana he's actually really good even if they did nerf his earth shield. Napishtim Adol completely kicks ass. I tried him against Nightmare Kishgal -- who I haven't fought in probably about a year, and would usually stonewall me for hours -- and took him down to 1/3 health on the first try. Dat thunderbolt.
Meanwhile, I screwed around in Ys Oath waiting for Steam cards to pop, and beat disc lady, Gyalva, ice dragon, Death Falcon Faleon, and pope hat on normal difficulty in the time attack. And also re-beat mechanical death-horse.
Pope Hat's difficulty comes in part from the shifting of perspective during the zoom attack. It's sorta bullshit, but once one learns how to deal with it, it's not that bad.
Yeah, I'm not even going anywhere near nightmare anytime soon. Well some are pretty straightforward -- like Gyalva. Disc lady is downright kinda boring, if anything. At the very least, Ys Origin has really, really stellar boss themes, which justify torturing myself on the ice spikes of Kishgal's spells and the exploding lavaballs of Yoglecks and Omulgun and the endless torrent of spam of Khonsclard.
No. Nonono. Gyalva is not straightforward on Nightmare. He's straightforward on Hard, but Nightmare introduces a gimmick that turns him from pathetically easy into an RNG screwfest. During that Inferno run I liveblogged, Gyalva hung me up longer than any other boss in the game because he's so prone to cornering you and using undodgeable attacks and there's nothing you can do about it. He is a cactus. He is more cactus than the last boss.
If you want a boss to cut your teeth on for Nightmare, try Guilen, Ligaty, or Garland.

1. Amazing item synergy, soy milk, mom's contact win I had was super fun.
2. More than tinted rocks to blow up, I really like pots, mushrooms, skulls.
3. The additional items and tear effects.
reminds me of (Old) Spelunky
most of my games ended in less than 5 minutes

but i can't
:(
It's goooooooooooooood
not really surprised, but i'd be lying if i said i wasn't disappointed... i was really hoping for Skull Kid
They managed to make Agitha badass, so i suppose i shouldn't be surprised.
and i see there's a Skull Kid-esque silhouette in the trailer so there's hope, even if it will probably just be a costume.
whoever told Nintendo that these are fun

Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead
The series seems very impenetrable to me.
