|
 |
Hello fellow humpfers.
Today I wanted to share that I have accumulated good experiences with a piece of software called Joplin.
https://joplinapp.org/
I use it to track my progress, organize save-games, keep notes about the games central.
Some games, but specifically the RPGs and such, I require a little help to finish them, because I get easily de-motivated and drop a (good) game, because there's been much time between the plays (because of work or whatever), that I forgot what I wanted to do next, where to go next, which places (secrets?) I wanted to backtrack and checkout after I receive new abilities etc.
In the old days, I literally made hand-written notes (Metroid II gameboy era).
Nowadays, nobody makes notes and most ppl goto wikis. But Wikis are dangerous, because they might spoil too much info, so I try to avoid them as much as possible.
I use this piece of software instead, because it supports easy image clipboard pasting, files work drag and drop (save games, mostly from emulators), etc.
It's really a very good help to remember even bigger games.
I remember when I was playing Final Fantasy I on the PSP, I couldn't finish the game if I'd also played other games concurrently, or even if I stopped playing it for two days straight. Basically, I "bench-played" this game til the end, but it was very hard, also mentally.
By using helper applications like Joplin, I think it relaxes the mental requirements for old fuck me to enjoy even longer games.
I'm currently using it for Fire Emblem - The Blazing Blade (GBA) and Record of Lodoss (thx Nodrim for tipp).
Theoretically, even MS Word/Libre Writer or even WordPad would be sufficient for the job, but I find Joplin good, because it has the ability to export into other formats as well.
(And because on Windows, it's more convenient than using Emacs' Org-Mode, which is my no1 goto for coding/programming, but overkill for a quick gaming session).
Anyways, I just wanted to share that.

This is super cool, I struggle with the same shit and also used to keep notes. I wonder though if I can bring myself to use this. I feel like I would already just use notepad++ if I was going to. Either way, thanks for sharing, super cool idea.
