I remember one of the twitter 'leakers' that leaked Bayo 3 twitter dropped saying MK8DLC twitter drop will happen next Wednesday, we will see if it's true

A week where we get a new Bayonetta 3 trailer and a release date is a win for me. It helps that the new trailer was a much better showing for the game than last year's gameplay reveal.

Plus, new Kirby spin off as the icing on the cake.

A constant state of cope and seethe, I love it.

Pretend there is no clock and all is well in the world.

News will come when it'll come.

Time for my coffee.

Also time for a haiku.

I think it helped that there was more to the post than the 'dipshit' line so it was very obvious what you were doing

I don't find it irritating at all

I much prefer overly optimistic exaggeration to more pessimism

Optimistic exaggeration would be "okay maybe it wasn't this week but next week! I can feel it!" This is just... lying? Idk, I found @Mugiwara's bit to be funny at first but if he persists until September it's definitely going to be annoying
 
Wasn’t expecting anything big today, but Nintendo has been tweeting a ton this week (I dug the first glimpse of the Xenoblade 3 expansion pass stuff yesterday). Haven’t been able to guess much of this at all so I still wasn’t counting them out this morning lol.

Not really expecting much the next two weeks with Live A Live and Xenoblade releasing, but would love to be pleasantly wrong.

I’m finishing the work up this morning with a couple other things to do as well. I’m playing some video games after that to celebrate. It’s been hard work. We have a wood stove so we’ve been getting wood so we can use that for the winter and we got a good deal on free wood from a neighbor. Big pieces too.

Oh man, growing up we had a wood stove, and that's a good bit of work for sure! Log splitting, tarping it and leaving it to dry, etc. That's awesome your neighbor is giving you free wood. That definitely helps! Definitely have earned a nice break for sure! Hope the weather stays nice for you all as you finish up everything!
 
I am getting way too salty with Nintendo regarding Xenoblade Chronicles 3.
Today is the 15th, the game will be out in exactly 2 weeks and, for Europe, the only thing they said it was that the CE would be available on My Nintendo Store near the end of July.
Now, the Store is on maintenance for what it's expected weeks. I am quite nervous to see what they will do about this. I ain't buying the game until I can buy the CE. It's stupid what they are doing.

Expect the store to return and the EU CE "pre"-orders to open happening on the same day.

As if both events wouldn't be shitshows on themselves already, but watch NoE combine them for extra shitshowing.

(Come on Nintendo, prove me wrong!)

I can totally see them doing that.
It will be a shitshow that not even them will be able to pull out of. And they will get a lot of people mad.

EDIT: Am I wrong or it was this week that the store went to maintenance?
 
Talking about second waves and boosters has been banned on twitter. No Mario Kart news.

Mario Kart fans going through GaaS withdrawal like we see on other platforms.
Click to expand...
Everybody thought GaaS sounded neat on the upsell until it of course just turned out to be "we didn't sell you a season pass worth of expansions, so we are no longer obligated to put out any quantity of content, of any quality, in any window of time"

This is pedantic but I don't think "from enemies to frenemies" is as clever as whoever wrote this Tweet thought it was. Clearly they were going for the rhyme (instead of just "from enemies to allies" or something) but the reason enemies and frenemies rhymes is because frenemy is literally a portmanteau of friend and enemy
 
I don't expect the Mario Kart DLC to come out in regular intervals. I expect there will be periods with both long and short gaps between releases, kinda like how it was with Smash Ultimate. On the subject of DLC and season passes specifically, I hate how regimented and scheduled seasons have become in GaaS games. Knowing that you'll get something brand new every 3 or whatever months sounds like a cool idea but there's a lot of downsides to it. There's of course developer crunch which is prominent in these type of games. There's also only so much a developer can make for a scheduled 3 month long season. Since you're expected to release something at a specific time on schedule, the devs are less likely to take risks. You're not going to experiment much if you think that it will throw off your schedule. The amount of content is pre-determined. The devs and the gamers know exactly how much they are getting season over season. Since seasons are also monetized, the seasonal content drop is so finely turned to keep gamers engaged either through addiction or fear of missing out.

I paid $10 for this season of Destiny 2. I think I got my moneys worth. But the story is done and yet I have 50 more levels to grind in the battle pass to get the cool armor. I inevitably will force myself to play the game, even though there is nothing new to do, just to get those rewards before they expire at the start of next season. And that's how every season goes. 4 to 6 weeks of story content and then grinding out the battle pass.

I don't own Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. I do want to try the new tracks yet I am not a panic to pick up the game because I know the DLC tracks will still be there if/when I do pick up the game. That is not true for other GaaS titles. As someone who has played his fair share of GaaS titles, I much prefer waiting 4 or 6 months for content that won't expire rather than be trapped in a payment model that forces me to play a game on its terms and schedule.
 
September Directs are almost never the best Directs, but they never have to be, they always come right before or in the midst of Nintendo's holiday lineup, so we already know everything in the pipeline for the next 4 or so months. September Directs are usually heavy on shadow drops and small announcements for imminent releases, lots of updates too.

IMO last September Direct was such a fluke, getting big trailers for Bayo 3, Splatoon 3, and the announcement of a new mainline Kirby would not have happened in past September Directs, seriously, go back and watch the 2017-19 shows, definitely not the best Directs, ESPECIALLY compared to the last three we got.

Mind you, I'm not saying I expect this September's showing to be mid, they didn't have an E3 for a reason, and I'm sure they'll be ready to show come September.

Waves are suppose to release every 4 months. If they release every 4 months, then wave 6 releases November 2023, and Nintendo said releases will be up to the end of 2023.

EDIT: Nintendo could release the last wave in December 2023, and then one wave can release 5 months after the previous wave, but I think they'll try to release waves every ~4 months.

they will show Zelda in September so it's already a great Direct.

See, that's the thing, this DLC from the get-go, is poised as THE SAFEST, LEAST RISKY MOVE, they are literally just porting over tracks from a mobile game, that is all this DLC will ever be, they are clearly doing what you have suggested to make it look better than it is as they have been trying to from the start, but I would be extremely shocked if this DLC ever 'surprised me'
