games

with only 16 heros

Its dumb regardless

(you can have dupes on each team)

forcing any swap is dumb, but locking out "similar" heroes

is assinine

people get motivated to play more because they pick their favourite character and play with them

its a bad idea, but i really want to see someone try to do a 5v5 team game with only 10 characters and no dupes allowed

If tf2 made me stop playing huntsman sniper after a round, I would probably not have played 1000 hours of tf2

"oh you won a game as Pyro, sorry Scout/soldier are locked now too)

See Dialga, I think there's a charm to that almost

Dialga, I can already think of ways to make that really fun

if the playerbase was big enough that you could reliably queue as your character

I'd be down

first, screen is black until the game loads in

second, screen opens, all the characters are on random places on the screen

you have to race to get to the one you want

3rd, you can make a higher skill cap mode where the characters are moving so clicking them is harder

it's neat because it replaces getting flamed for picking a "bad" character, just because you like them

if there's one in every game

yes, you can still underperform as a meta character, but that's already a thing

but I think it would be fun for people (the majority) who really only play one or a small handful of characters

@Phijkchu_Pikachu which emulator did you say i should use if the guide has multiple?

BizHawk

thanks

I have made my archipelago server work again and think i can get coop minecraft working if anyone wants to test it or (other games parallel)

minecraft could be a low commitment option for people to join in as long as there is always someone playing it

you just need the server address to join, but I don't know how it handles people joining intermediately

So how does Friday at 6:30pm EST sound for AP, under the assumption that the session should (hopefully) only take 5-6 hours at most and midnight is hopefully fine on a weekend for everyone. I can do it earlier, but I might need to dissapear for 15-20 minutes to get food if we start earlier

also has everyone figured out what games they want to play. We should probably discuss what settings everyone wants to do, especially if you've not played around with the game you want to do or done AP before

i can make it

Have you looked at the game list mint?

but I have yet to test any of this

I'll play whatever y'all play

We are all playing different games

that is how AP works

I have but not a ton

ik ik

So far I am locked in for paper mario 64, polu is doing sonic adventure 2 I believe, deaddog want sto do donkey kong country 3

are we allowed to have overlap

yes

should I have overlap haha

after my shift today I can boot my pc up

and figure this stuff out

You can play whatever you want, let me know when you are around I can help you figure stuff out

In general just try to play something you think you remember well enough to know the locations of things (most games have a tracker which means you do not need perfect knowledge)

me (and max if she ends up joining us and decides to do WW) will likely have the longest games this time around

minecraft for me unless someone else (or a group) wants to do that

i’d have the server public so anyone can hop in

I will leave figuring out what settings would make minecraft comparable to the other games to you

i have no idea

Based on the practice run we did, I did about half of paper mario in 2.5 hours

40 achievements to spawn the dragon is default

but I like the idea of doing egg shard hunting instead

b0b could join now!

If you think minecraft would be too short, you could always make it both dragon and wither as the req

I am looking at the settings page

very informative patch notes

lol

But leg, you actually have to go to the discord thread to read the update news (it is not pinned)

I fucking hate discord and its ramifications for the coding community

ah okay, and the games I can pick are anything on the website, that list seems smaller than I thought is there more elsewhere

In my pinned post, I linked 3 sources

one of them is the extended list

the website is just the officially supported ones by AP

perfect thanks

you need to test the unofficial ones because they may not be functional or straight forward

I can help you test when I get off work

sounds good, that's my plan for tonight!

screw getting groceries ig

I can confirm for unofficial, paper mario 64 and mario kart 64 are easy to set up and work. Rabi-ribi and balatro are confusing to set up and not worth it

if we do a longer test i can try some minecraft settings

animal well is easy to set up but not worth it

I can set up a game other than paper mario to test tonight, I think I am solid on my settings for that

mario is missing is annoying to setup because there is no guide anywhere but it seems functional

not that i know how to play it

I wanted to figure out what the hell manual AP is, I think its a way to manually do a game since it has a wide support list of games according to the update page

but there is no guide

manual is like you restrict what items you use on an honor system
