You can actually find many repo's on Github that contain CCA, like this one:

I've it installed on my PC as well. It's a fun occasional time killer

Funnily enough, I got stuck too in CT, at a boss fight. But I'm determined to pick it up again and finish it some day. I'm not even sure if the boss-fight I'm stuck at is the last fight of the game or if there is a whole other chapter. It's sometimes hard to guess if you're near the end of the game in J-RPG's.

I also experienced that when I played Star Ocean First Departure and Star Ocean Second Evolution a few years ago. Those games are actually the games that made me discover my appreciation for J-RPG's. Every time I thought "Oh, this is it. Story is over", something completely unexpected happend and the story went on for many more hours. If you haven't played those games yet, I would highly recommend them (but I might be biased as well). Square Enix actually announced another remake of SO The Second Story, so you might want to wait for that (but you don't have to, the PSP version of Second Evolution is incredible as well). Second Evolution was one of the best games I've played in a long, long time, so I'm really exited about this one :)

I get what you mean with the optimistic and whimsy vibe in most J-RPG's. I love how I get drawn into the adventure and get the sense of "Sure, I can save the world", while not overdoing it.

I see a lot of great names on your list! Legend of Mana and Chrono Cross are still on my list of old games that I want to play! But I want to finish Chrono Trigger on the DS first :)

I discovered I really like J-RPG's and since then I've been trying out classics that I've missed when I grew up

I played it for a while and was pleasantly surprised! I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy it at some point

In GTA 2, One of the first things that I did when I started the game (in the first level), was driving all the way down to the far bottom-right corner of the map. The tank that was hidden over there was way too much fun!

Oh, I can certainly see the appeal of that game! I love J-RPG's from that time period.
Judging on the store-page, I think "isometric action rpg" is pretty spot on. Based on the little I I know about this game, I think I would specify it even further as a "Isometric Action J-RPG" myself, even though it is technically Japanese. Thank you for sharing it :)

I thought you were talking about Pokemon Silver at first, but that game didn't have voice acting. What kind of game is Silver?

I discovered the excistence of Bustin'Out on the GBA only 2 years ago. When I discovered it was an ancestor on Urbz, I had to play it! I played it through an emulator on my trusty old PSP, long after I had sold my GBA SP. I loved it! THe story and athmosphere were not developed to the same depth as Urbz, but it was certainly a very fun and welcome experience. More of the same in a positive way!

If I had to recommend a friend only 1 of both games, I would always recommend the Urbz. But Bustin'Out is great is you can´t get enough!

I read this comments about how Mastedon fixes cross-instance UX behaviour. I think it is exactly what Kbin and Lemmy need:

The Urbz: Sims in the City for the GBA (and also the DS).
This is such a hidden gem on the GBA and my favorite GBA game I had. Had great music as well!

Yeah, I agree. I love the idea of u/spez trying to explain to the potential investors why so many users of the investment are working together to actively disturb and destroy the platform as much as they can, while being way more effective than users of pretty much any other other popular social media platform.

That's totally true and somehow it didn't think of it. I think that is the closest equivalent of the Windows naming scheme on storage devices.
But on the contrary: I believe on Windows the drive letters ( C:, D;, etc) ARE used for recognition (by the user) while the drive is already mounted. But you can also mount them without assigning a drive letter, making it somewhat different than how it's handled in Linux. On Linux, the (average) user usually doesn't see stuff like "/dev/sda" unless they specifically look for it. At most, they will see the name that are assigned to the drive and it's mounting point.
