I want it to be Kirby 64, it would be good for marketing for the new game and I want to try it out personallyNeat! I wonder what’s next after this. Come on F-Zero X!!!
I am so sorry that yet another person got ripped off by Nonograms Prophecy. I got the game around the time it came out (launch discount) when I was between Picross S games and it was a massive disappointment. Most of the puzzles were extremely simple, relying way too much on simple lines and rectangles. Most of the color puzzles also rip off a bunch of famous characters, too, it felt really tacky.Public service announcement for Picross fans.
Nonagrams Prophecy is NOT a game to get. There is a serious bug in the way the numbers are highlighted. The numbers that fade aren't necessarily related to what you've put on the board. This is confusing as hell in normal picross but outright unusable in colour picross because now colours you need to know are greyed out.
Not worth the 89p's worth of gold points I paid for it.
What was I saying earlier in this thread about the Switch being the secret PS1/PS2 BC option for PS4/PS5?Sony logo appears on a handheld's screen.
My brain:
"...they finally figured out how to make a new Vita"
I like that!Haven’t finished it, played it a little on PC, bought again for my Switch to run start to finish. Short version is: it’s very good
Longer version: It looks like a Link to the Past clone but it’s got more going on than that. It’s combat is trickier than it looks, with lots of Minish Cap style dodging, a sort of Wind Waker setting, it’s got fun-but-manageable crafting, and it has so much side content that it’s ridiculous - I think the developer said there are more side dungeons and optional bosses than the main storyline.
It’s definitely more exploration based/non-linear than any 2D Zelda since the first one
wait, what shred of airquote news did we get today?With the depressingly paltry "news" about Metroid Prime 4 today
Retro updating their banner with a Metroid poster. It’s not even necessarily connected to Prime 4.wait, what shred of airquote news did we get today?
This announcement pulled me out of my work bubble, where I've been drowning in deadlines and meetings and exciting but exhausting developments basically since the Direct aired lol, thanks for sharing!
Hope you’ll catch a break soonThis announcement pulled me out of my work bubble, where I've been drowning in deadlines and meetings and exciting but exhausting developments basically since the Direct aired lol, thanks for sharing!
... what?has anyone tried the Ezio Pepperoni Collection and is it decent on Ring Fit? I’ve never had an Assassin’s Creed for more than five minutes so I’m not picky, just want to confirm that it is at least serviceable and doesn’t somehow turn the Switch into bread
Hey yeah, what happened to Gay Bowser?I miss Gay Bowser
still active on Era, afaik never came overHey yeah, what happened to Gay Bowser?
I’m leaving the original to have a chronicle of my failure, but here are notes and correctionshas anyone tried the Ezio Pepperoni Collection and is it decent onRing Fitthe Switch?

ninke………….
this is what happens when we keep saying “so long, gay bowser” and not “please stay, gay bowser”Hey yeah, what happened to Gay Bowser?
you and me both buddy... what?
Now I'm picturing AC2 but you move around the city via Ring Fit running and fight with fitness moves, and... I kinda want that?has anyone tried the Ezio Pepperoni Collection and is it decent on Ring Fit?

Gonna tell my kids this was Ezio Pepperoni
If you like the idea of a LttP clone, you should also check out Blossom Tales. I think it’s a little too faithful to LttP. Ocean’s Heart is very Zelda like but it’s taking inspiration from lots of Zelda games not just LttPI like that!
And I don't mind it being a "clone" of a Link to the Past, or in this case, what some call a "Zelda-like."
In fact, I want to explore more "Zelda-like" games.
You barely changed anything but it does make a lot more sense now somehowI’m leaving the original to have a chronicle of my failure, but here are notes and corrections
strike and bold = I don’t know how that happened and this is what I actually meant
underlined = not a mistake, idk why exactly the fuck I typed those things but I stand by them and posted them by choice
They seem to have an account, just haven't been very active. (Although they did pop by for the Direct, it seems)still active on Era, afaik never came over
"We are sorry to announce that the dumping of the F-Zero X ROM has been cancelled due to lack of interest. Please look forward to its replacement, Mickey's Speedway USA."Neat! I wonder what’s next after this. Come on F-Zero X!!!

At the end of the day, unless you're working in video games, then playing and writing about video games is a hobby. If a hobby isn't bringing you joy, then there's no reason to force yourself to do it when there's so much else out there to enjoy.Hey everybody, I feel that it's been a while since I got personal with this community but I have something on my mind that I feel is applicable for discussion here.
Recently I started trying to sink my teeth into Splatoon 2, and while I was enamored by the game, I quickly found myself to be too cognitively incapable to have fun with it. This experience has me reflecting on my entire life experience with video games, and I've found myself facing a question: should I give up on video games entirely?
I have always suffered from immense frustration due to my own inadequacy, in all parts of life, and in video games it has taken its most visceral form. Within the past half year I've been trying to spend more time playing games instead of constantly reading and writing about them, but maybe I had this wrong. Despite numerous argumentative failures, I at least wield the basic abilities needed to post online. Meanwhile, my experience with video games is perhaps akin to one attempting to participate here without speaking English.
Unlike many of my most distressed moments early on in this community, I don't have any preconception as to what I want to be told or if I want to be assuaged. I am simply facing a challenging potential step and hoping to receive any commentary or perspective on it.
I’ll share something with you.Hey everybody, I feel that it's been a while since I got personal with this community but I have something on my mind that I feel is applicable for discussion here.

If you're not having fun with a particular game, I recommend having a break or even dropping it entirely. Games are not worth getting frustrated over. But I feel like there's a little more here, namely finding yourself inadequate. I think this can be a function of hanging out with other gamers online since the kind of people who tend to hang out and talk about games online tend to be above average at games, and I've experienced this too. I'm generally pretty bad at games, and games that tend to require fast hand movements tend to cause me a fair bit of pain because I have arthritis in my hands (and let's face it, Joy Cons (I mostly play switch and primarily play handheld) are uncomfortable as fuck). Celeste is one of my favorite games, but I had to accept that I wouldn't be able to beat all of it because I lack the innate skill, and the effort required to overcome that would cause me enormous pain. But I try to remind myself it doesn't matter that others are better than me even at games I really like, because as long as I'm having fun, then my hobby is achieving its purpose.Hey everybody, I feel that it's been a while since I got personal with this community but I have something on my mind that I feel is applicable for discussion here.

This is where I go “old man,” but when I was fresh out of college, I pretty much stopped playing video games for a couple of years. Mainly focused on work, developing new relationships in that setting, playing sports, etc. I mainly came back in with the DS, when DSi came out and sort of fell back in love with the classic style of gaming. I did get the home systems there after, but mostly played single player as I was never good enough in multiplayer FPS which was the rage at that time. Now I mostly play those old games still since I created a massive backlog and enjoy more gameplay focused things (though do partake in the new Nintendo stuff). It’s okay to drop things when you might have other passions or interests. Even recently, from 2019-2020 I beat a total of 12 games and some of those were were not long. Spent more time reading (and working unfortunately) and got my video game fix via YouTube chronology series and the like. I also strongly subscribe to playing on easy or cutting games off when they don’t click.Hey everybody, I feel that it's been a while since I got personal with this community but I have something on my mind that I feel is applicable for discussion here.

Hearing this when you go into the observatory gets me every time. I always just sit and listen before looking through the telescope (not for 10 hours like this video though).I'm not going to start a whole new playthrough next week, but I plan on at least finding all five bombers and visiting the observatory for the 12,435th time

So you're saying there's a chance...Since @hologram posted he was going for most posts, he has posted 9 times. @Skittzo has posted twice. If we extrapolate this out with the close to 5 hour duration since he quoted me saying he couldn’t do it and the roughly 269 hours left until March 1, that leaves 54ish more 5 hour blocks for this thread before closure. If the previous rate holds, then hologram can definitely outpace Skittzo and take the crown (assuming any of us in the top 10 have a similar low post total). Though I will say I’m a beer in to a 4 day weekend, so I might challenge you for the top spot.
Not much else I can say that hasn't already been said, but it might be one of those things where a different hobby is needed to take over just long enough until you feel that urge to play games again comes naturally. Truth be told I feel the same way about Splatoon because I really don't have the rapid fire reflexes for it anymore (if I ever did), but I know I can rely on other games to scratch the itches I need. But also, I've been slacking on reading so much but I finally finished my first book of the year (Once Upon A Time In Hollywood novelization), and I'm kinda eager to start going through what else I have on my bookshelf that's in need of reading. Keep going through that until I remember I have to finish the Arceus post game, and maybe a few other backlogged titles on PS4Hey everybody, I feel that it's been a while since I got personal with this community but I have something on my mind that I feel is applicable for discussion here.

I wouldn't count on it, my 9 month old can't possibly get me up at 5am ever day... Can she?So you're saying there's a chance...
