Oh no, Paper Mario emulation issues WRT button timing and not the pause screen (seems to be only the one boss fortunately, and apparently this was to fix a glitch that was present in the North American game but fixed in the Japanese release?)

Spoiler

I haven't read Under the Dome yet, but Tommyknockers is definitely on the long side (but not necessarily dry). It's best read while you are reading other stuff to be honest. It's slow to start, but once it gets going it's quite the absurd ride.

To be honest I have a helluva time balancing two or more books at once, but maybe if it's something drastically and tonally different I can get into it that way haha. Sounds very tempting though, I'll be looking forward to it!

I was past my pretentious phase when I started reading King so I was able to just enjoy him fully. And despite being ridiculously prolific, he's a damn good writer compared to other authors with similar outputs. He does sometimes have issues with sticking the landing and stretching out ideas to way bigger books than they probably deserve, but even the worst Stephen King is better than, say, Danielle Steele.

For SGJ, it kind of depends on what you're in the mood for, and admittedly I haven't read that much of his stuff. My first novel of his that I read was The Only Good Indians, which scared the absolute shit out of me in the best possible way. The sense of creeping dread and horror was just phenomenal, in a way that even Stephen King rarely reaches. His most recent book, My Heart Is A Chainsaw (which is a title I love), is also fantastic but less "shit yourself" scary and more of a love letter to slasher films while still being very thrilling. Other than that I've only read two of his novellas, Night of the Mannequins (a good slasher-esque story that makes me think of the "I'm in danger" Ralph Wiggum gif) and Mapping the Interior (the least scary thing of his I've read, it's a pretty touching coming of age story that still has some horror in it).

And funny you should mention not meeting your heroes, I met Alexie twice. Both times he seemed like such a great guy that it was incredibly jarring when the truth came out. It also felt so completely at odds with the stuff he wrote about. I guess some people are just really good at hiding their true selves.

Honestly the two novellas you described I looked up and seem right up my alley, I'll give them a shot soon!

God, that must have been awful. I know I'd be gutted too if that happened with any celebrities I've met. I have my suspicions of some I've met in the past but I don't want to say anything out loud with baseless accusations, not to mention I'd still feel awful if shit did come out.

Byleth and Mythra/Pyra ruling Smash competitive scene.

Everyone is mad.

Joker dying.
Steve rising
Sephiroth not doing much
Banjo worst DLC character by far
Kazuya kinda doing something
Terry doing okay
Hero nonexistent
Min Min got something going on.

(Only 1 Byleth tho, lot of Mythra/Pyra’s lol)

We didn't start the fire

My suggestion on helping to read more: Add some non-fiction to your diet.

Any recommendations? Honestly that Springsteen autobiography was one of the few non-fiction books I willingly sought out for genuine entertainment, although I do mean to pick up Schrier's Blood, Sweat and Pixels one of these days.

Things on my todo list this week: build Hg Baund Doc and Cybuster. Build Lego set I got for my birthday last month. Do Vidiyo based spooky stage moc using hidden side graveyard as core. I’ve got time, it’s me and the dog and it’s stormy the rest of the week. (Plus combine starting using my cross cycle and watching subbed animes)
And of course chip away at FFIX, Culdecept revolt and SRWX as well

So I wanted to make a shitpost thread and had second thought out of consideration for people.

It was "The perfect videogame music to take your shirt off to"

and inside it was the final boss theme from Yakuza 0, where two angry Japanese men have a dramatic fight on an ocean liner with their shirts off, showing their sick tattoos as they lock in decisive battle

Spoiler: tags in case the thumbnail is spoiler-y

It was to be a thread about me gushing over some of the tracks in the game, such as that one and Kuze's.

Of course the joke was that you'd think it is something inappropriate based on the title, but it is actually about something silly and over the top, but I wondered if that title was something that in itself could make anyone uncomfortable.

Better safe and sorry and it was a low effort shitpost anyway, so have this here:

I will heartily endorse Blood, Sweat and Pixels, that book was fascinating, as was his second book, Press Reset.

And yeah, it was very rough, I immediately threw all of his books in the closet, out of sight (couldn't quite bring myself to get rid of them).

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the people that expected Metroid Prime 4 to release in 2019.

 

[Supreme Overlord]

I more meant that other exclusives would say the opposite. An exclusive Mario or Zelda says "this is the successor console." But if Nintendo wants to market a 4K "Pro" revision they need a splashy first party game that shows off the 4k visuals and drive sales.

I think Mario Kart - especially with it's "half the tracks are from games you already own" strategy - is the biggest franchise that squares that circle. And the team has been oddly quiet for a while

Ah, but if you want a racing game to showcase the visuals and yet not risk indicating the current Switch will be dropped, clearly F-Zero is the answer, because that'll totally happen.

 

[ILikeFeet]

No of course I don't know what ray tracing actually is. But I demand that it be in my games anyways.

one thing that annoys me in a lot of ray tracing coverage is that people seem to expect it to make their games look significantly better, and when it doesn't, they claim there's no point to it. dumb shit, really

Switch Pro to be launched with a collection of dead series: F-Zero, Pilotwings, Metroid uh Pokemon Snap uhhh Advance Wars uhhhh Wave Race!

this post will age nicely

oh, and excitebots 2

EXCITEBOATS needs to happen

I miss Hydro Thunder

 

[Amadeus]

If Nintendo want to release a game to showcase the Dane's visuals, I think they'll prefer a new Wave Race over F-zero. First because Shinya Takahashi mentioned wanting to make a new one, then Wave Race was what Nintendo used as a technical showcase for the Switch visuals internally.

It's tricky because I think non-fiction favorites can vary so wildly person to person depending on interests, but that's what I like about it too.

Two that I really enjoyed recently in different ways: 'The Disaster Artist' by Greg Sestero & Tom Bissell, which is an account of how the cult classic film The Room actually came to be made and in general a look at "trying to make it" in Hollywood and the people you meet. It's incredibly readable. (The movie adaptation of it is pretty damn poor imo.)

Also, I have a fascination with ancient history, so getting the book 'Writings from Ancient Egypt' with translations by Toby Wilkinson, was eye-opening to me. It has set me on a path of seeking out other translations and collections of works from antiquity. Considering how much has been lost to time, it's wild how much there still is.

For this book in particular, there was a translation of writings from a boy Pharaoh to one of his generals that had been sent on a wild goose chase deep into Africa to search for and retrieve "the dancing pygmy god brother" the Pharaoh has had a vivid dream about. And apparently they found someone to be the Pharoah's brother and were receiving instructions to give their lives to ensure he is safely brought to come live with the Pharaoh.(For instance they must drown themselves if need be to make sure the Pharaoh's "brother" never falls below the surface of the river when crossing. Starve themselves should food run low so that "brother" can eat well). The Pharaoh is beyond ecstatic as you can imagine and cannot wait to shower his brother with gifts when he arrives.

Some of the oldest writings ever uncovered, from at least 8000 years ago... and this is the story they tell? LOL

Yall remember FreezeMe on the Wii U? well the dev is back

Damn these days I was wandering on eShop and thinking "what the hell was that Mario 64 inspired 3D platformer that I saw the announcement on the Wii U era?", thanks for that!

Ancient Egyptian history is so fascinating (and modern Egyptian history is interesting too). It kind of blows my mind just how old some of the stuff that survived is.

You know I still have to watch/read The Disaster Artist, but I'll add that to the list as well! And the dancing pygmy god brother sounds so silly but I'll definitely keep that in mind when looking to read it ahaha

Actually now that I think about it, I remembered I had a strong interest in reading the accounts of Giacomo Casanova at some point, but most of the modern reprints has a lot of censorship and it's been hell trying to locate the most accurate translation of all 12 volumes without spending an arm and a leg (although I did find the digital files to read that are copyright free...to use on a Kindle that I don't own )

Ha, I love ancient texts. There are some really great ones, like the tablets complaining about the copper merchant -- and so we shall all remember henceforth that Ea-Nasir was a swindler, promising quality copper and delivering low-grade.

Definitely agree. History has become a living thing to me. And with Egypt it's been there as long as we've been keeping records... which is just amazing.

I hear you there. Finding well done translations is rough.

Some day I want a good Journey to the West collection in English, but all the available ones I've enountered are either fairly incomplete or not that great translation wise. Which makes sense. Poetic structure in Chinese isn't going to work well or make a lot of sense directly translated in to English. Good translation skills are just that, a skill and a talent.

Ha, I love ancient texts. There are some really great ones, like the tablets complaining about the copper merchant -- and so we shall all remember henceforth that Ea-Nasir was a swindler, promising quality copper and delivering low-grade.

I just can't get over the drama of this shift in Japan having grown up in the Ps1, Ps2, PsP heyday and being really into the sales discussions back then. I've got a lot of catching up to do.

 

[SammyJ9]

I assume it gets more interesting after the credits especially if you really dive in deep with arena battles and super bosses (super fans must love it for a reason!), but walking through preset combo paths on the chart to get/break orbs, to build up to the burst is just not terribly interesting. You aren’t really making decisions as the game is always telling you what’s next to do. It’s as basic as remembering, ok I got red/fire, so I won’t walk that way next time. Like it hardly matters if I got red first, blue second, and green third in any given fight and the optimization/finesse that’s there isn’t exciting to act on even if it does make a difference (making a combo faster or not by asking for support in the right order and nailing your cancels). The most interesting piece of the battle system in the main story is unlocking the “limit break” which I think is at the start of chapter 8?

I still like Xenoblade 2 a lot, but the combat wasn’t usually the reason why in the 70 hour main story.

Xenoblade 2 follows with a lot of JRPGs that I like in that while the combat itself doesn't involve a lot of choices and decisions, but instead it's all about the setup in advance. Kind of like SMT and Bravely Default, at least to a degree. Your team makeup, equipment, blade skill tree unlocks, pouch items, etc., are where like 80% of the combat depth is.

That said, you definitely unlock the whole system way too slowly and it's too slow at first until it opens up. And I definitely wouldn't mind adding a little more to the combat itself, as as you said it does tend to get a bit same-y with the pattern of building up to orbs/breaking them/big attack/etc., even as much as I like that buildup.

 

[Supreme Overlord]

Definitely agree. History has become a living thing to me. And with Egypt it's been there as long as we've been keeping records... which is just amazing.

For as much as most people you might come across disdain or just don't care about history-- or only care when their half-understood rendition serves as a poorly-formed argument -- it's actually really fascinating, and whatever fascinating aspect you turn to focus on, there are untold facets waiting elsewhere just as fascinating.

I hear you there. Finding well done translations is rough.

Some day I want a good Journey to the West collection in English, but all the available ones I've enountered are either fairly incomplete or not that great translation wise. Which makes sense. Poetic structure in Chinese isn't going to work well or make a lot of sense directly translated in to English. Good translation skills are just that, a skill and a talent.

Yup, and a bad translation can distort so much.

I'm really wanting to learn Chinese, and then I can utterly fail at reading Journey to the West.

There's always glimpses of how how these were literally just people, same as we still are today. Same attitudes problems and obsessions and desires to post that hot take lol.

Yeah, we tend to get these high-minded ideas about how ancient peoples were dumb or super smart, or they were just utterly other in whatever way, but what we see over and over is that these people were, well, human people, more like you or me than unlike.

(Is this the place where I rant about how much I dislike how we "teach history"? There's so much more to it than what people usually learn -- it intersects with absolutely everything and is so interconnected and so endlessly fascinating!

My brother will buy a Switch tomorrow for his two kids. To make the fininaciel investment a little bit lighter, i want to share my digital games with my niece and nephew and give them one Pro controller. If i use the eShop to flip between primary/secondary Switch, is there any limit how often that can be done? The one year limit is only, if i have not access to the primary hardware and use Nintendos website?

My second plan would be, if flipping between primary/secondary Switch is not practical for us: Can i make the new Switch for the little ones the primary console and set it to always airplane mode? Both kids could play my games offline and use their own accounts, right? I would need to have an internet connection all the time but i use my Switch 90 % in my home.

Any solution is only temporary. Because buying a Switch, controller/s and game/s is really expensive.

Special route: My only retail games that i can give them are Ring Fit Adventure and Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum'n'Fun! This could make them both super buff and drive all neighbours insane!

I think i give them Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum'n'Fun! + the drum controller. They really liked it and i barly play it at the moment.

If anyone has some good experience with the limited form of game sharing on the Nintendo Switch and has some advice, it would be really appreciated. (^_^)

 

[Deleted member 1676]

I played the demo for Shadowverse: Champion’s Battle for about an hour and a half last night and I urge others to try this - it’s genuinely surprised me. It’s essentially the Yu Gi Oh game I’ve always wanted, where you actually walk around a school and talk to friends and manually meet up with them to play this card game. The card game itself is what you’d expect but mostly everything in the game seems to be voice acted in English Dub, it really feels like a mix of a 4Kids Saturday Morning anime with a GameCube era hidden gem. This is also on sale too for $29 at most places it seems. Demo has pleasantly surprised me and now I’m wanting the full game haha

Sharing your library is actually very easy, just set up a secondary account on their Switch, done. Now if you go online while they're playing they'll be disconnected, but you can just keep airplane mode on, that way everybody can play at the same time.
(The secondary account is the one that will have to do an online check before launching games)

The Chrono Trigger is an item (and the game's namesake) that is utilized to save Crono after he got killed by Lavos near the end of the game. It's literally an egg, which represents its potential/possibility of altering time.

That cover art has cooked eggs on it, soooo yeah.

Thanks for the reply.

Only my account can boot games on the secondary Switch right. That means i have to teach them to not fuck up my save files. I had no problem to let them play my saves, when i am around but their parents are not as eagle eyed as me.

I should disable cloud save downloads/uploads completely on the secondary device? So no one has any trouble?

The Chrono Trigger is an item (and the game's namesake) that is utilized to save Crono after he got killed by Lavos near the end of the game. It's literally an egg, which represents its potential/possibility of altering time.

That cover art has cooked eggs on it, soooo yeah.

Yeah the fact that it references the Time Egg but they're fried always makes me laugh. I literally keep that album out on display on my shelf, gives me a chuckle every time I glance at it.

Dude. I can’t believe I never made the connection on the album art before

DAMN IT'S AMAZING THANK YOU SO MUCH

It’s not Acid Jazz but the Square-Enix Jazz SaGa album is amazing, so check that out too:



(Also available on iTunes but not Spotify. And oddly the Final Fantasy album isn’t on either service)
