Tricky little sun bastard.

Also, CC’s plot can be described as tricky little son bastard.

Side note, but this gif reminded me of it: There are very few things in a game as trippy and mind-bending as
After the body swap scene happens but you as the player don't know it yet, and then Serge says a line and you briefly don't think that's weird but then your brain catches up and you're like WAIT WHAT HOLY SHIT SERGE IS TALKING
Click to expand...

That whole sequence—of the game “othering” you—blew my mind the first time too. It’s a callback to the Magus decision presented to the player in Trigger, but the Cross sequence made both CC worlds feel completely foreign after all the time you’d spent exploring. It’s genius.

It’s about as perfect a plot device you can imagine for resetting the game’s pacing.

You know what’s not disappointing? My purchase of big brain academy on Amazon since they priced matched Best Buy. I want my shout out next month (also think this will be a decent Christmas break activity with my son).

it's truly a based game, I hope everyone snags it
 
Never could do this before (Not enough space), but I adore how I can fit the entire collection on the table.

Excuse me if this is the wrong place for this type of post lol. I saw a few others do it here, so I thought why not XD

So, I bought a new Dualsense controller and it didn't bring a charger.

Is that anti consumer?

I know you /s’d it but it always blows my mind Sonys controllers never come with a cable. I own six Nintendo branded usb c chargers from all the switch controllers I got, including the one that came with the $20 snes controllers.

uuuuggghhhh yall I just ran across a Commonwealth Realm video where they called Link's green arm in BotW2 "the hand of time" and I know it's not like they have any inside info or anything but what are the odds that's the damn title? It fits the bill for the "it gives away part of the plot" reason they gave for being tight-lipped.

That’s just worrying for no reason. Just enjoy the current title of

“Sequel to the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild”

Until the official title reveal. Then we can express our true feelings on the new title.

Breath of the Wild was fun. The title was actually very positively received.

How about "The Minute Hand" or "The Hour Hand" rather than the hand of time.

"The Sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" is an awkward mouthful on par with "Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition S" and to be honest part of me kinda wants that to be the final title just for the lulz

Not sure if you guys are ready to hear this yet but we better temper expectations for new announcements in the next few directs. Nintendo has an uncharacteristically large number of games announced for 2022 already.

Jan - Pokemon Legends
March - Triangle Strategy
Spring - Advance Wars and Kirby
Likely Summer - Splatoon
Other - Mario + Rabbids, Bayonetta 3, Zelda

In terms of big games, that's probably over half of what we can expect next year already revealed.

They only had one new game announcement last Direct (Kirby in September) because there just isn't anything else new to reveal. My guess is that this will continue with the next few directs being updates on previously announced stuff and just one big new reveal, namely Xenoblade, 2D Donkey Kong, and Fire Emblem over the course of the year.
 
Hope this is a suitable place to ask. In Dr. Mario Express, is there the ability to hard drop capsules like in Online Rx and Dr. Luigi? The videos I find didn't seem to do that, which makes me believe that it's not an option.

Thank you for reading.

PLAYING DSI WARE???? IN THE YEAR TWO THOUSAND AND TWENTY ONE????

I don't think there's a hard drop in that version.

That's the thing, I am hoping somebody who played that game would be able to answer the question, because the videos I can find for that game do not show any hint of hard dropping.

Thank you for reading.

Or, Nintendo announces 2023 games throughout the year, like they did 2022 games this year.

We may see some delays or a small lull with 2023 especially if Dane is a H1 2023 launch. We'll definitely be hearing more about Dane officially or unofficially by Holiday 2022.

hahaha did I tell you guys that I'm done with college and am now shitting my pants with fear hahaha what do I do
Click to expand...
When I finished University in 2013 I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life either.

I know it sounds cliché, but in my experience if you stick to your strengths, put yourself out there, and be open to opportunities, life has a way of taking you where you need to go. It might take time, but you'll get there.

It's gonna be okay. :)

Work may actually kill me this week. Been working since 8:30am ET and still going well into the night, probably won't "finish" (whatever that means) until 2am minimum.

Agents/reps/producers in the film/tv industry always sends a billion scripts to us starting two weeks before Christmas in the hopes that they can get consideration from us ahead of and during the holiday, which requires us to work 14-18 hour days reading until our eyes bleed while the fat cats get to enjoy their mandated 2-week holiday break through New Years.

I live and breathe this industry, but I can't fucking wait to be in a union.

Graduated back in 2012. Had a year where I was totally lost/depressed, but after that I’d say things greatly improved and my life became so much better than it was in college. I’m much more content now than I have been at any point in my life. Just remember to prioritize your mental and physical health + be kind to yourself if you are trying to figure out what comes next.
 
Damn, seeing Twitter go crazy because Hasanabi got banned of Twitch. Wild stuff.

It is so good. I would like more of any DK game to be honest. Arcade, platformer, even minis again. Such a good franchise. Also, make sure to get your badge for that in the challenge thread.

that said Detroit has an okay and somewhat similar confluence of things

but counterpizza: the Illitch death circle

Detroit has a lot of great stuff but the pizza isn’t standout in nearly the same way as Windsor’s is. But – it is pretty decent.

Chicago? who hurt you

New York? ehhh pretty good sometimes and at least the bad pizza is “good” bad pizza

San Francisco? what the fuck, who explained what a pizza was to you?? christ this is not a pizza town (killer burritos and bento though)

Toronto? you… you just looked at a picture of a pizza and made something that looks similar but isn’t at all. wtf y’all Windsor is RIGHT THERE setting the bar

LA? the only pizza there is on the sidewalk and it’s actually set detritus

Paris? no, NEXT, stick to your unmelted cheese and delicious filthy bread

Munich? why’d you have to go fucking MUNICH it and make it all tidy and clean and subsume the soul? the taste reflects that

Grand Rapids, Michigan? do not go to Grand Rapids, Michigan but if you’re stuck there for some reason, go to Gino’s pizza on the west side (IMPORTANT: NOT THE EAST SIDE ONE – make sure you’re on the side of the river that has all the bowling alleys) and enjoy some of the best pizza with a bona fire “Bob’s Burgers” style child-labor experience

Vancouver? you have too much ocean to do pizza right

Seattle? same problem but less terrible taste. I half-remember throwing a slice on somebody’s windshield due to a sexist bumper sticker but details are hazy

Nashville? the pizza came with some waiter-on-waiter racism that made my fucking skin crawl, so my transposed memory of the taste was “spiders” and “get me the fuck out of Tennessee.” but who knows — that might actually be what it tasted like

Minneapolis? do yourself a favor and get Phở instead. it’s still a river town at the end of the day and the pizza reflects that. although I hear they have Pizza Lucé… but the only one I can vouch for is:

Duluth? Pizza Lucé. Go. Do it. Get Pizza Lucé. It’s so fucking good it has no right to be that good GO, NOW, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR

Bloomfield, Indiana? not bad if you like bad pizza. but honestly you could put hot cheese on some dough yourself and probably do better.

Ann Arbor? not inherently good but if you get pizza-like things that aren’t pizza at Pizza House and get a mason jar full of marinara, you can have a “serviceable” time

Italy? what, do I look like I know things? I don’t know shit about Italy
Click to expand...
I wouldn't rank it the best, but oddly one of the best pizza's I've had in the world was in Scotland.

Derachi said:
I'm gonna take @Suswave's pizza post and pivot into positivity:

What food does YOUR part of the world (past or present) do extremely well? You don't even need to say where you live/have lived if you don't want, I just wanna know: what food is BEST there?

I live in Ontario now but god Atlantic Canadian Garlic Fingers were truly divine. I could NOT believe they don't exist here at all!
Click to expand...
What used to be the best pizza joint was East of Toronto and when you ordered a meat lover's with extra cheese, it looked straight out of TMNT, but after ordering from them once during the pandemic...everything changed. Dough was burnt, sauce was bad, skimped out on cheese

Suswave said:
that’s how my rant started, at least! Pizza’s best in Windsor! weirdly!

and for all my pizza ranting, Toronto food SLAPS so hard – especially small non-white places. You can get shit like momo anywhere for cheap and have an incredible time. Parkdale is momo heaven.

And the Danforth has the best and cheapest spanakopita I’ve ever had! and an abundance of Greek old men who will look at you being queer in public so disapprovingly but also slightly more powerlessly by Canadian rules

Otto's in Kensington is great for deep fried halloumi (and doners I guess lol), but also Frisaca at Queen and Bathurst also has damn fine Mexican tacos, with home made hot sauce and the guac is top notch
 
Aight, which one of y'all is doing this:


There's no need. SamusHunter/Raccoon already posts here.

I'm also not sure how I feel about signal boosting this site to people who look for leaks.

I'm continuing to think 1-2 Switch sequel, even if horseperson doesn't really fit.
 
Derachi said:
I don't know if it'd be "soon." From what I've gathered from our reliable leaker SamusHunter2 aka @Raccoon, Metroid Prime Remastered is going to a 2nd half of 2022 release, and it SOUNDS like it's a very quick announce-release turnaround. So maybe announce at E3, release in September kinda thing?
Click to expand...
Just saw this. The obvious date is November 22nd, which is both a Friday and the precise 20th anniversary of Metroid Prime. But taking the closest date to black friday might be a bit much for a remaster.
