Holy Moly!  They are actually finally officially released a version of Seiken Densetsu 3/Secret of Mana 2 in English (called Trials of Mana now apparently)? What's next? An official English version of Mother 3? Who knows? I mean, now that Reggie has retired he isn't around to throw fireballs at people for asking.

Too bad everyone who cared probobly already played the unofficial version to death and moved on. Maybe I will pick up the remake they are making? I would like to see if they fixed any of the many many issues the original game had!

Can you imagine if they decided to remake Mother 3 like that? It would be funny given it was originally gonna be a 3D n64 game.

I think I am gonna add some difficulty options to my game or something. Before I kinda wanted to do old school roguelike full permadeath and still kinda want that to be an option, but i have played played dark souls a bunch recently and I like how it handles progression and death. So I was thinking maybe it would be better to just have you lose your items and progress to the next level instead of reseting your level completely... We will see!

I was just experimenting with if statements that used if statements as conditions in ruby.

Yes, you can do that.

Only reason I was curious to see how well it worked was I sometimes want to do something like:

unless ( if something
    do_something
  end or if somethingelse
    do_somethingelse
  end )
  do_nothing
end

Or in other words, I want something to happen if and only if nothing else happens. The usual way I end up doing this is like this:

done = false
if something
  do_something
  done = true
end
if somethingelse
  do_somethingelse
  done = true
end
do_nothing unless done

But it sort of bugs me that I need a variable. Not a big deal, but I wonder if there is a better way?

Note: The last line of an inner if statement needs to set a value for that kind of funny nested if statement to work.

Edit: Oh, actually it wouldn't work the way I want due to short circuiting I think... I thought using 'or' rather then '||' would disable that but apparently not.

I got Dark Souls for my switch because I never got around to playing it before.

Honestly it's kind of silly how unforgiving it can be. I mean, I get you wanna be hard game, but do you really have to let me dive right off into a pit if I am slightly at the wrong angle?

You know in so called 'real life' people usually instinctively stop themselves from walking over edges. Just walking over one without thinking is something that mostly only happens in video games.

I was feeling kinda sick yesterday for some reason, which is too bad because it was May Day... Feel lots better now though!
