I liked it the first two times. I don’t need a third.

They just dropped a very mediocre Metroid title, and Mario Kart was middling at best, so they are down two franchises this generation already. If they make another clone of BotW then they are gonna be down a third, and they’ll have to make it up with Mario, but Donkey Kong didn’t inspire hope on that front, so I’m not sure what I have to look forward to…

Oh. Pokemon… Well, I’m not holding out hope there either after Scarlet/Violet.

Well, damn. I didn’t know that. Oh, bother.

Zelda and Mario are first party, so I get that, but Xenoblade kills me. I need a rerelease of Xenogears, Xenosaga, and Xenoblade on PC.

Wasn’t this already on the first Switch? How did you fuck this up? It was already done.

Honestly, I’m kinda over the Switch 2 at this point. All of the games that have come out for it look empty and soulless, and there hasn’t been anything to make me truly want to spend $500 on another piece of kit. They’ve had long enough to put out some quality, and the promise of “$80 for a game ensures we can continue to deliver quality” is just the corporate bullshit we all knew it was. This is the WiiU all over again.

I was just about to say that I usually trust Russ will all my retro gaming handhelds, but I’ll gladly take a second opinion. Glad to see that you follow him as well and aren’t afraid to put your own thoughts out there. Nice work!

that in no way warrants a summary execution

That’s really it. It’s escalated to the point of a war crime. This is drug trafficking, not flying planes into buildings. Can drugs trafficked across a border be dangerous? Yes. Are they being trafficked because we decided that it would be better to addict the populace and then throw them in jail for modern day slavery? Also yes. Trump, Hegseth, and his ilk are creating the crimes they kill for. All under “novel interpretation of the law.” When the vapid blondes they surround themselves with aren’t helping, they’ve found another way to get their tiny cocks hard again, and it’s the same way that every Republican has, killing brown people.

Not only that, but charging full price for a game and then charging $15-20 for cosmetic DLC is fucking wild. If I’ve paid you $60+ for a title, I expect the full experience. If you want to add some shit a year down the line to lengthen the life, I’m on board, but day one DLC that costs more than the base game was played out the moment Bethesda graced us with horse armor. I’ve gotten more joy out of Vampire Survivors than I have out of any Ubisoft and EA games in the last 20 years combined.

When I first started playing D&D 30 fucking years ago I used to take my hand drawn maps of Zork to school and use those as dungeon maps for my friends and I to play on in the back of class. Goddamn its been a long time, but I owe A LOT to Zork.

I can see them all, so maybe it’s a federation issue?

I don’t think so. I can’t think of another actor in that time that would have been a better fit for the role.

Gotcha, that’s what I saw. Thanks.

I’m curious, because I just “beat” the game last night. I’ll try to be spoiler free, but if someone hasn’t beaten the game, don’t read on. Is the “true ending” what you get when you go up, do the thing, and then go down and do the other thing? Like, when you get the achievement? Or is it related to finding the missing threads, so to speak? I’m just curious on if I’ve already seen the ending that’s been changed, or if there is more.

Someone has to pay for the upkeep of all those Nazi summer homes.

Set up a pizza delivery the day before to ensure it shows up at the exact time I want it. Figure out a good movie ahead of time. Order a fresh bottle of lotion off amazon. Do some stretches with my wrists the day of. Light some candles. You know, the basics.

There was an animated video, hand drawn, animated on the 1s and smooth as fuck. It was two orbs colliding and battling like they were atoms, and then at the end of the video it was a nuclear explosion. Or something like that. This would have been from like 20+ years ago back on Newgrounds or something, but I’ll be damned if I can find it.

Mega guillotine I’m voting for you!

“Ha ha, isn’t it funny how Americans tip in restaurants.”

“It is! That’ll be $5 for the water, ma’am.”

I work with three of them. Two fell off the wagon, and the third is one of the nicest people I know.
