I love Mina the Hollower but I’d would consider it more of a platformer than a Zelda game. The map and levels are more structured to be about some combat and platforming and honestly remind me of the NES Castlevanias.

But it does remind me of Oracle of Season, and outside of 1-2 “puzzles” which require moon logic it’s a solid game and worth playing.

Sorry, to busy going to my local game shop and buying Xbox 360 games. So many games to play

Honestly I’ve use it, it’s good but uses far my resources that it should.

KOreader is the FOSS alternative and while its interface sucks. Its reader is excellent.

Printables has paid models now if you want to support a designer. I remember being recommended MyMiniFactory for more premium print a while ago.

With that said, I think it depends on what you are looking for and what you are trying to make. I see a lot of comments recommending Blender and FreeCAD. So I wanted to give you alternatives.

With that said, Blender is for 3D Modeling (think molding with Clay), where as FreeCAD is more like blueprints. Both have a high learning curve, and Blender has a large community to help new users. FreeCAD is getting there, but has a steep learning Curve. TinkerCAD and Fusion from Autodesk may get some hate here (for many good reason), but are the easiest softwares to get into if you want to make mechanical design.

While cantilever printers can be an annoying honestly converting your Mini to direct drive will improve print quality more than dual Z motors.

That said have fun it’s your machine.

I grew up with cassettes. Type II was a rarity and not what you’d buy from the store. Those were type I tapes.

Plus the whole format was a compromise. CDs almost whipped them out, but when digital came both were gone in a flash.

I think the only benefit of cassette today is making mix tapes, but on a retail and purchasable music standpoint. They weren’t good.

Chowder - old Cartoon Network show about a purple bear raccoon thing who tries to be a chief making wacky dishes and breaking the 4th wall. ‘Tis was a good show.

PixelJunk Monsters - tower defence game with a fantastic soundtrack

Patchwork hero’s - fun puzzle game where you take down giant airships

Everyday Shooter - twin stick shooter with a unique soundtrack

Persona 3 Portable - even atlus remastered this game as is.

I would also throw in GTA Vice City stories - love the story and it holds up better than liberty city stories

Can confirm, got PS4 for $200 (used) and most games for $10-$20 each new.

Got the GBA version of the game a while ago now. It’s a fun Metroidvania and feels like Wayforward used what they learned from Pirates Curse and other games to improve it.

While it’s based on the unreleased prototype of the GBA game it doesn’t feel like one of their games from the era. If this was to be released back then as is, it would be one of the best platformers on the system.

Physical item: LL Bean Laptop Bag. Was designed for laptops much bigger than the one I have now and it’s held up well… except for the buckles.

Digital: Rollercoaster Tycoon got it in a cereal box and I still play it today.
