@ArdainianRight @TheMadPirate @caekislove @deprecated_ii I wonder if it is all a psy-op to get governments to fund artists. Artists have wanted to be government funded for years because most of them fail. I even had a classmate in college do a speech on why artists should be government funded.

@TheMadPirate That rainbow can be interpreted that way, but it is drawn in a ZX Spectrum style and if you know anything about that old computer, a lot of games on that had rainbow colored sprites.

@beardalaxy @rasterman @ChristiJunior If you play any of the Ys games, especially the later ones, you quickly learn that it's just basically Zelda with experience points (basically the only thing that keeps Zelda from being considered a true RPG). Ys puts an emphasis on exploration just like Zelda, but has the experience points and leveling up that you expect in an action-RPG.

Also, believe it or not, Zelda and Ys were basically rival franchises for a brief time. Though, it wasn't as big as OOT vs FFVII. It was only briefly during the 1980s in Japan. Ys was scene as the PC gamer's equivalent to Zelda and vice versa. Ys III even tried to copy Zelda II by being a side-scroller.

>I think the games zelda is most comparable to outside of the action adventure genre are like, 3d platformers that feature combat.

Yeah, I can see that. I like to think Zelda influenced the non-linearity in 3D games like Super Mario 64. But then again, I think Zelda had an influence on non-linear action games period: action-adventures, action-RPGs, Metroidvanias, platform adventures, sandbox games, etc. Pretty much all of them have openly admitted to having some influence to Zelda, whether directly or indirectly.

@rasterman @ChristiJunior @beardalaxy You were suggesting a game. I told you to make that game yourself, if you want to see it happen. That link was just a link to a multimedia framework which I use to make games.

No, you don't need to compile Ys. Just emulate the PSP version.

@rasterman @ChristiJunior @beardalaxy Make it yourself.

@beardalaxy @rasterman @ChristiJunior I know they are two separate genres but they are similar enough. I think Zelda fans would really like Ys, especially the later games.

To me, action-adventures, action RPGs, and metroidvanias are compatible with each other. If you like one genre you would like the other ones as well.

>It's less with the blockchain part and more the centralized part.

I know, but a lot of people assume that anything blockchain-related is 100% decentralized.

>As for email it's just a pain to get them to communicate with GMail. There are horror stories everywhere about it.

Surprisingly, Gmail actually has a troubleshooting guide for those having issues with their servers communicating to Gmail (I was expecting "why don't you just use your domain on our servers"). I don't know if I trust it though. I never ran an email server before. I've heard that running a mail server in general is a pain, even without the Gmail problem.

@rasterman @ChristiJunior OOT (and the rest of the Zelda series) will be total dogshit once you get into the Ys series. Stop listening to these Nintendo peasants.
