I'm tired of videos and articles that talk about how the Playstation came to be acting like the big bully Nintendo screwed over the helpless victim Sony, when Sony was the bigger company back then, and Sony wanted most of the profits on the SNES CD add-on.
 
Can't make my mind up whether to continue Ocarina, start Lost Odyssey, or start No More Heroes 3. Playing a little Dungeon Encounters each day seems to be a good approach to that game and I managed to get a bit in this morning before work. Decisions decisions...

sips tea and stares into the middle distance
 
My girlfriend's sister ordered Legends Arceus from Best Buy Canada. It hasn't shipped yet. If I go buy her a copy, could I return her online-ordered copy to the Best Buy as if it was the game I bought? Or are Switch game packages unique in any way and they'd be able to know it's not the exact same copy?
 
As we all know, February was rightfully canceled for going on a five hour long racist Twitter rant, and all 28 days were added onto January. So I must ask, how is everyone's January 32nd going? 🙂#TeamJanuaryStaysWinning #WinningNeverGetsOld #MakingLunchRightNow
 
My slow burn on the Event Quests in MH Rise is going well. Definitely going to keep the Emergency Apexes for last. But I unlocked all the crossover content, and Akuma + SnS is just chef's kiss.

Come on, there is definitely two sides to this story. Both companies were pretty big companies and further more Nintendo screwed Sony way more getting in bed with Philips after they themselves got into a deal with Sony that they deemed unfavourable to them (which it of course was). But instead mending the relation with Sony and balancing the deal out they just went with their biggest competitor.
 
I'd rather the video game industry didn't become like the TV/film industry, where a handful of big companies own most of the IPs.
 
Just wrapped-up a three hour workshop I had to facilitate for work. Feels really good to get public speaking engagement over with. Even after years of experience doing presentations and knowing that I do them really well, I always feel really anxious the days leading up to them. I hate the feeling, but there is no sense of relief quite like getting over it.

Is she able to cancel her order? That might be the most surefire way

I'm on the start screen of Lost Odyssey. I take it the soundtrack is a treat?

Indeed it is. One of Uematsu's best work IMO.

Man I really miss the game. To me, The Lost Odyssey was the true Final Fantasy XIII. I'd pay more than MSRP for a Switch port. That game needs to be played on a handheld.

Whatever it takes to get Pocket Monster Hunter. Arceus was just Gamefreak testing how well they can adapt to Nintendo's Monster Hunter team.

MH Rise and Arceus are the only games using NPLN network too... 🤔

I'm sad that Gilva is being shut down. Anyone have any favourites?

I know everyone wants Nintendo's music on streaming platforms, but I really just want Nintendo to sell the music internationally and digitally. I want to be able to own my music instead of being beholden to a service, and I like having all of my music locally on my phone for commutes, no worry about downloading through an app, just put em on memory and go. And like, Japan gets the Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey and Animal Crossing and Skyward Sword albums released over there on CD. We get nothing unless you wanna pay massive international shipping fees. I'll buy it, Nintendo, you just gotta sell it.
 
I've been playing Mario Kart 64 Time Trials competitively lately, and I was curious what your best times on each course are. Here are mine.

Man, I have exactly the same. I get nervous days before and stay nervous up until and even during the presentation. The relief after is great, but I get so stressed out it gives me headaches the day after. It's horrible.

It's really good, just you wait until the world map screen pops up.

I remember hating the level cap in the game. Maybe should try it again. I do remember really liking the OST and the story being very intriguing. And 1000 years of dreams being excellent of course.

Edit: in those span of a few minutes I suddenly want nothing more than a Lost Odyssey port on Switch that I can play on the go lmao!

Imma start up the game on Xbox One X now.

I'd buy so many (physical) premium Nintendo soundtracks, the ones that come with booklets, artwork and stuff.... #nintendoisleavingmoneyonthetable #missingtheboat
 
Shitposting is such a demeaning, self-depreciating moniker for what is, essentially, one of the highest forms of art.

Streaming Services?

You must mean Nintendo Online + Music Pak

Pay an extra $20* a year instantly** to access all*** of Nintendo's large**** library of classic music

*On top of an existing NSO subscription. Can only access on Android phones for some reason.
**Once music has been added on the 2nd-or-3rd Sunday after the silver wolf howls at the full moon
***No Earthbound, Xenoblade, Kirby or Smash music cause Nintendo's too shy to ask the creators
****Library is not large
Click to expand...
Okay you know what... It's not Nintendo's style but, if they added a function to their phone app where it had a massive library of Nintendo stuff from the 80s to now (think Smash Ultimate's player), I'd buy an NSO expansion for access to that. No question. Hell, they're leaving money on the table if they don't do it. Please do it Nintendo-senpai

Yeah, just call it "adaptable communication skills."

I know bad takes are the currency of this thread, but this one might be a bridge too far for me. Any season that I can go outside without my man-nips instantly turning into deadly weapons is alright by me.

I just hate hot weather, which for me is like anything above 80 degrees. I'm from the mountains, so I'm used to cold, and that's what I like. I'd much rather have to wear a coat outside than to have to deal with being hot and sweaty.

That said, I'm pretty much fine with all times of the year except for probably July/August. It's just those two months that things get too hot and same-y for me.
 
If this Yacht Club Presents doesn't have at least six games that I want, I'm gonna write a long post about how Nintendo disappointed us.

I might even make a Youtube video called "Yacht Club Presents Disappoints Online" with a thumbnail picture of me staring blankly at the camera.

Don’t forget about the Mario sad face, even if the video has nothing to do with Mario.

I have a week off from work (my first substantial PTO in over a year) and I decided to drink for the first time in a long time. I accidentally took too many shots so now I've just decided to go all-in and get trashed and play Elite Beat Agents.
 
@Derachi I had completely forgotten I did have a disc copy of Yakuza 0 for PS4. I also did buy Kiwami 2 digitally on there as well. Just need to get around to playing them

I played the first one around April of last year but I want to try and get through the Yakuza games. One of my gaming goals for the year

Has anyone played Tokyo Xanadu? I finally pulled the trigger on it for a $5 steam key.... I've had my eye on it ever since playing Ys VIII.
Click to expand...
I played it a few years ago, didn't quite beat it but got near the end. It's... okay? I didn't love it, honestly, it was probably my least favorite Falcom game I've played. It felt like it wanted to take Ys, Trails, and a dash of Persona and mash them together but it didn't quite work for me overall. Still you can't go wrong for $5.

I saw that you said you guys would just wait, but as far as I know, it shouldn’t be a problem to take the online copy in and return it with the store receipt.

Getting in on the shitpost action. They should have an account here!

To be honest, I’m pretty ok with most times of the year as well. I’m from the upper-Midwest, so I’m used to the cold as too, but January and February can get pretty old fast. That said, I’m also not that huge of a fan of being hot and sweaty when the 80’s and 90’s hit, but at least those types of of days make for good swimming/water-activity days.

Again, pace yourself! As far as I know you don't have a deadline. If you find yourself burning out, take a break!
