I just got off the phone to my oncologist; my cancer scans all came back clear, which means I am now officially two years cancer free!

A huge shoutout to the amazing healthcare workers who've worked with me on this difficult journey.

This kind of cancer, if it does recur, tends to do so in the first two years, so now that I've reached this point, the odds are good that I have beaten it once and for all.

Let's fucking go, great news!!
 
All this talk about Twilight Princess has me starving to play it again. Hopefully the rumors of a Switch port are true.

There's definitely a fair bit of that in the game, mostly on 2-3 characters. And several of the usual overdone cliche bits, like "oops oblivious accidental skirt looking/misunderstanding", some of the outfits, etc. And of course one of the DLCs is specifically to acquire swimsuits and do a beach episode, but that's optional DLC and ignorable.

Overall I didn't find it to be too overboard, just eye-roll-y here and there. YMMV of course, but I loved the game and it's my favorite one. Some really enjoyable combat and tactics.

Im enjoying the game. just caught off guard how quickly it decided to be…gazy.

The first game had its problems too. The beach scenes in that one wasn’t even DLC if I recall. And a antagonist been portrayed poorly.

Just a bummer. Especially since one of the character, (Rez?) is one of those annoying tropes I hate so much. And I bet this game will try to redeem him and it’ll be done poorly. Well, I’ll hope for the best cause the game is fun

Absolutely enormous W. Congratulations! My dad is a two-time survivor who goes in regularly for checkups and I never get tired of hearing he’s cancer free.

Yay!
 
I know we got Dread 6/7 months ago, and that, if things pan out, we're getting Prime HD and Prime 4 in the next couple of years (hopefully)... but I can't help but wonder what the future holds in the shape of Metroid 6.
 
Seems like we should be heading into a pretty good week for news. Monster Hunter and Financials on Tuesday, drip-feed of XC3 news throughout the week, and possibly an Indie World?

Looks like the slow news period is hopefully coming to an end

Definitely happening one way or another, given Sakamoto's comments, and the big success of the game. It'll be interesting to see if they continue to partner with MecurySteam, or work with someone else/take it internal though.

Yeah, there's more... well, everything, in VC4 compared to 1. 4 is basically everything 1 did but cranked up to 11, and that includes all the good things AND the bad things. Raz kinda sucks, absolutely, and they do (not really spoilers since it's obvious and you mentioned it) try to redeem him to mixed results, although part of it worked better for me than I thought it would, I admit.

But the combat is much improved and gives a lot of really cool new options, that's the biggest selling point of the game IMO. And I liked the plot and characters a lot in general. Squad Stories are another new feature that really help flesh out your non-main recruits and give them some more importance and spotlight.

I don't think it's likely since VC4 apparently underperformed but I would LOVE a VC5 someday. Maybe they could go to another part of the world, or a slightly different time period, or just find a way to do more stories during this one, who knows.

Massive congrats!!
 
Zelda TP is great game, but IMO not good Zelda game,
back in 2006-2007. Zelda TP was my 1st Zelda game that I played after Ocarina Of Time that was (and still is) GOAT for me,
and I was hugely disappointed, I hated art style, bland and empty world and Twilight Realm.

That's awesome!! I wish you all the best.
 
It's a new week and I need my Indies fix more than ever. Wink wink, nudge nudge.

At least we get numbers tomorrow, so that's nice.
 
I'm going to do it. I'm finally going to get a Switch OLED. I'm almost finished with Xenoblade 1 on my Xeno playthrough and can't help but thirst for an OLED screen for the rest of the series...
 
Huh, I don't own Mario Golf World Tour yet but was looking into it a little, the DLC for the N64 courses rebranded a bunch of them into NSMB themed areas?

Like, Yoshi's Island was absolutely gutted to be a NSMB tropical area lol.

Why do you hate fruit Nintendo?
 
Happy Monday o/
Had a pretty meh weekend. Saw the new Doctor Strange movie and played video games, but my anxiety is going ham. And I can't tell you why I'm so anxious. But my heart rate is high and I feel tired and now I'm at work. I have therapy on Thursday, but man, anxiety is so dumb and random and annoying.

Anxiety is random and awful and I hope that your therapy session on Thursday will help a little. Good luck until then! If the weather's good where you are, maybe try to go to the park with a book or game that soothe you and enjoy it while taking a bit of a sunbath. Sometimes I find this helpful.

I've been doing a lot of reading recently on how working out helps folks with anxiety/depression. I'm honestly overweight and live a pretty sedentary lifestyle. I don't work out at all. I'm going to go for a walk later and see if that helps but I'm also going to see if I can incorporate daily exercise into my life. I can't keep living like this. It's so tiring.

Working out a bit definitely helps with anxiety and depression, but it's also hard to start working out when you are anxious, you heart is already racing and the perspective of stressing it further with cardio exercises can be anxiety-inducing at first. If that's something that stresses you out, my advice would be to go see a doctor so he can give you a quick check and tell you that everything is fine (and it very probably is).

Then yeah, if possible, exercising a little everyday will absolutely help. You can start with walks, or even just 10-15 minutes runs where you alternate between walking and running (1 minute each). Ring Fit Adventure is also great for that, if you want. Start slow, don't push yourself too hard, you'll make slow progress, little by little.

The anxiety will never go away, but it can become manageable over time. Like a beast you tamed. And you have the strength to tame it.

Good luck, and if you wanna chat about some little tricks to help with anxiety disorders, my PM are open.

Take my comforting/encouraging Yeah!
 
The thing about Twilight Princess is that it's a good game (like, feel-wise, it's fun to play if you like Zelda games) but the wolf mechanism is so underbaked that it's essentially pointless (and clearly just shoehorned in to answer the question "what makes this game different than the other?) on top of a pretty generic/uninteresting story that's kinda representative of a lot of media in the mid-2000s (forcing it into being/feeling epic for epic's sake, rather than letting the story just be good and letting the consumer decide how 'epic' it is). I like the game because I'm not really picky outside of jank but those are the reasons I think most people place it lower. It just doesn't reach the highs of most of the others (unless I guess you're subjectively just really into that particular artstyle and that particular setting).
 
Yesterday night, I got into a little argument (nothing too heated) about how much I >like< the fact that Nintendo never implemented an achievement system on their consoles...

I said that, personally, the pressure of achievements and trophies not existing at all when playing games on Wii, Wii U, 3DS or Switch, is much appreciated for me..

Sometimes when I'm finished playing some game on PS4 or Steam, I tend to look up the trophy list and see that's sometimes missing a couple there (since most is unlock by normal progression anyway)... and think to myself "eh.. why not try to clean this up?", and that's always a trap.. those few ones left are the worst ones and usually very tiring tasks that you wouldn't do if it wasn't part of some checklist.. Just for the sake of the Platinum Trophy and having a little "I did it!" shiny thingy on your profile..

Yeah, it's all my fault, but I don't have nothing to worry about when playing games on Nintendo systems on that side.. I much prefer when games have their own achievements on in-game level, like Smash or Super Mario Odyssey, than devs having to fill a system level implementation just to have something there..

I look at stuff like old Genesis games having Achievements on Steam and be like.. "why this is even here.. they're just adding for the sake of having it.."; And there were cases of 3rd Party games that I could had played on PS4, that having them on Switch made my completionist journey much easier (like Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled.. I already made so much from the in-game requirements; having the Trophy list on top of that is just overkill).

Either way.. of course, the person talking to me didn't take that well; They said I shouldn't celebrate a lack of a feature that is "industry standard" or something. Yeah, I know people like these kind of things.. and I'm not saying Nintendo should never implement that, but I was sharing that I can't miss something that I never even demanded to exist at first place.. it's actually a comfort that I can't find on other platforms when I think about it lol.

Forced meta games for everything is exhausting. Part of the reason I prefer gaming on Switch is the lack of meta achievements. Not saying I don’t sometimes I enjoy it, a thoughtful achievement list can be fun, but I wish games didn’t always have to have them elsewhere.
