[RMXP] [RMMZ] [RM2K3] What's better for making an NES style RPG
Is RPG Maker 2003 or RPG Maker MZ better for making an NES style 8 bit looking RPG with side battles? I currently have RPG Maker XP and MZ. I noticed a sale for 2003. I'm most accustom to XP which doesn't normally have side battles though I'm sure there is a script for it. But, I'm thinking of making a game for sale this time and I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use outside scripts for a purchasable game. I've had an idea for an old fashion FF1 kinda game and was wondering if I should get 2003 for that. Also do modern computers have any compatibility problems with 2003? I've barely had time to practice using MZ though I heard all the magic is particle based or something like that which is not very NES like. Anyway,any advice would be appreciated.
Video game animals in monsters in real life.
What do you think some gaming animals would be like in real life?
I was just thinking if Chocobos were real, the likely wouldn't be the cute and cuddly animals that are portrayed in Final Fantasy. They'd likely be just as or more dangerous than a Cassowary bird which has been known to claws humans to death with their huge talons. In terms of diet, a Chocobo would not just eat Gyshal Greens but other things to. Cassowaries prefer fallen fruit, but will eat small vertebrates, invertebrates, fungi, carrion and plants.
How about something less realistic? What about a Goomba, a walking mushroom with a mouth. I imagine it's main defense would be that it would be poisonous to eat for most animals since it has very little in terms of physical defense. Since it has a mouth it would have to eat, so it's diet would likely be s rotting flesh of whatever predators left over as well as insects and plant matter.
Anyway, if you got a gaming animal or monster in mind share your thoughts.

A Major V Tuber is playing RPG Maker
A Major V Tuber Shiori Novella from Hololive-EN is playing RPG Maker on stream!
It's LIVE at the time of this post.
Hopefully it will get more people playing. I posted a link to RPGMaker.net in the live chat. To tell people that they could get tips on how to use RPGMaker here.
Anyway here is the link.

Tears of the Kingdom Ultra Hand Creations
In the new Zelda you can construct a bunch of stuff with Ultra Hand.
And although I have not experimented too much since I've been busy exploring the world I have made a few memorable things.
I made a really terrible unicycle that controlled so badly I only just barely beat an NPC in a race across a canyon. The NPC wasnt trying to race me if your wondering. Anyway it was memorable.
I made a mobile spike barrier with a Shock Emitter attached to shock enemies.
and finally I flung a Korok to its destination with a simple slinging device using that auto balancing thing.
Eventually I want to make a home for link and a giant robot but haven't yet.
What have you made with Ultra Hand?

African Images
Here are some awesome African Images ... maybe. So some time ago, Getty's Images made it free to use some of their images. I'm wanting to test out the feature using the codes they provided. I tried it on Twitter first but tweets are too damn small to fit the code. And Facebook failed me for some unknown reason so I came here to try them. Why is this my 3rd choice when there are so many other social media to try... I don't know, I'm comfortable here. Anyway hopefully you will see a Dogon village in the 1st photo and a Dogon mask in the 2nd photo. If this works, I'll add more images to look at.
As for why I'm trying this, Gettys and some other sites like them, have certain images of Africa that can't be found anywhere else and they are professional photos so it would be nice to use them freely. Not sure if the free ones will remove the annoying watermark but we'll see maybe.

Well $#!+ that didn't work. You can click the links in the code to see the images but obviously thats not what I was trying to do.
PS. So as not to totally disapoint people who click here's some other Dogon images that will work.

RPG Maker Steam Sale and MZ vs MV talk
Just saw that RPG Maker games are on sale on steam and like I've done in the past I'm letting you all know about it.
That said I have a question. Is there a point to buying both MZ and MV as a bundle?
I've been thinking to buy MZ but I see that MV can be bought together, what advantage would that give me?
Frankly I'm still cozy with good old XP but I'm thinking I would like to make games that can be played on phones in the future and I think both MV and MZ can do that, correct?
I was looking around the internet for comparisons between MV and MZ but the posts I found were all years old back when MZ was new. I saw someone say that MV the older one was somehow better for mobile games. I don't get how that could be the case. But for the most part people were saying MZ was better but didn't have as many community made plug-ins or something like that.
(EDIT: I just realized RPG Maker Unite is supposed to come out this year, figured I should mention that. But I have no idea what that one will cost.)
Anyway what are your thoughts?

That thing you want but never get.
What's something you've always wanted but you never buy or are gifted?
For me I have for years wanted a globe, Jenga, and Boggle.
I also want to buy a shit load of wooden beads and wear them around like I'm some kinda RPG character.
There's also, some African books on my list too but I do occasionally buy more African books but for the ones that I want and probably won't ever buy, I have good reason not to buy them. Some of those books are many hundreds of dollars. Education should not be so expensive.
But yeah this post is more so about stuff you can afford but for whatever reason you simply haven't bought.
There might be some other stuff, if I think of others, I'll post them later.

Game Hardware Ideas
What's an idea you have for gaming hardware?
I'd like a controller that has all trigger buttons behind the handles instead of on top which contorts and hurts the hands. A trigger on a gun is way more sensible and ergonomic than a trigger on a game control. I don't see why game manufacturers don't understand that. The Z button on the N64 was in the correct comfortable spot.
On a wackier note, I'd like a 4 pronged controller 2 for the hands and 2 for the feet and you can control a 4 party team simultaneously with it.

[RMXP] Changing Parameters Issue
So in RMXP in the Event Commands there is an option for Change Parameters but it only includes MaxHP, MaxSP, STR, DEX, AGI, and INT.
It does not include ATK, PDEF, MDEF, and EVA.
It seems these 4 can only be manipulated through equipment.
But it would be very useful for me to increase and decrease this through another method.
I see that I can kinda mess with these through Status Effects but those are intended to be temporary and its just not a good method for my purposes.
Is there a way to more directly change ATK, PDEF, MDEF, and EVA for a given character?
Or can I at least increase and decrease the stats of a weapon or armor midgame via an event?
