Nutmeg Royale or Pilk?Pepsi Festive flavour is here![]()
I can't believe they turned Hades into gurl. What's next? Are they gonna turn Zelda and Metroid into gurls too?!
Weird stale chocolate you forgot about in the bottom of your stocking as a child flavourNutmeg Royale or Pilk?
I'm pretty sure the amount of runs it took me to escape in Hades was fewer than the number of runs I did in Returnal without ever beating the first section lmaoHades was better than most, but the fatigue still hit me and I didn't finish it. I think what I liked most about Returnal is that its structure was more about LONG, but fewer, runs, and that appealed to me a lot more than Hades, which had very short and very frequent runs.
Just a FYI, the Mouse Trap board game won't help you here either.My night has been spent in a stand off with a mouse in my apartment. First spotted it a week ago. It usually comes out around 11:30 from inside my laundry closet but it came out early today while I was out of the house. He was hiding under my fridge for a bit before making it back into the laundry closet. I ordered a humane trap but it won't be here till tomorrow. In the meantime, my apartment management has given me glue traps. I prefer not to use them although it does took like it's easy enough to free them with vegetable oil once they get stuck.
Apartment management is supposed to send over some people to check for cracks and holes and fill them in but they are taking their sweet ass time.
...you know I've never thought too hard on it before, but at the same time it's oddly comforting to have this confirmation it wouldn't work rather than always wonderJust a FYI, the Mouse Trap board game won't help you here either.
In case you were thinking about it.

sooo, theres no way Nintendo isn't releasing a new mainline Mario game next year to cash in on the movie hype right?
I keep thinking there will be a Mario game of some kind near it. If nothing else Mario Kart Wave 4 DLC should line up.sooo, theres no way Nintendo isn't releasing a new mainline Mario game next year to cash in on the movie hype right?
Also Xenoblade becoming a high-profile RPG series, a new Zelda becoming a cultural touchstone for the industry, Nintendo becoming the lead console for many third parties again, a dude named Bowser leading NOA while Bill is AWOL, Metroid Prime 4 ffs, classic series like Final Fantasy and Ninja Gaiden returning to Nintendo, literally every third-party Smash character...Sometimes I'm not entirely sure that the Switch is real and that I didn't hallucinate the whole thing.
Metroid Dread actually happening? Fully 3D Kirby? The Mario 64 sequel I'd wanted since 1996? The return of Wii Sports?
Like, imagine if you told someone in 2015.
Maybe I just suck at Hades, then, because I probably did 30+ Hades runs (many of them ending very quickly, lol) and got to the final boss only one time (didn't beat him), while in Returnal I think I beat the game in 15-20 runs. Something about the combat in that game just really worked for me. I found Hades to be quite a bit harder, personally.I'm pretty sure the amount of runs it took me to escape in Hades was fewer than the number of runs I did in Returnal without ever beating the first section lmao
I liked what Returnal was going for but found the difficulty too frustrating. Hades makes it very easy to do "one more run", and also gets way easier relatively quickly once you increase your starting health and unlock a Death Defiance or two
Wasn’t there a deals board or am I having a brain fart
Anyway sparks of hope is half price on Amazon US deal of the day. I was expecting this a bit earlier (black friday) but still got it by end of year!
Good morning! We got a lot of snow here too. I had to pick up my friend and give them a ride to our Gloomhaven session because their car couldn't make it out of their driveway.Good morning! It's a snow day AND Big Run. Might do all the winter tracks on Kart 8 DX, too.
Just saw the Mario movie Mushroom Kingdom v Mario Odyssey Mushroom Kingdom comparison discourse and honestly the comparison is so lacking in media literacy and basic critical thinking skills that I am about done with my entire weekend and may just go back to bed to escape how dumb that particular discourse is

To add even more to the insanity, the Switch era is also the generation in which:Also Xenoblade becoming a high-profile RPG series, a new Zelda becoming a cultural touchstone for the industry, Nintendo becoming the lead console for many third parties again, a dude named Bowser leading NOA while Bill is AWOL, Metroid Prime 4 ffs, classic series like Final Fantasy and Ninja Gaiden returning to Nintendo, literally every third-party Smash character...
It's been a hell of a console gen so far.
Somebody posted Mario Odyssey's Mushroom Kingdom alongside the Mushroom Kingdom from the film with the caption and the comparison basically led to people saying that Illumination are better level designers than NintendoWhat's this in relation to?
This would require people to demonstrate a minimum level of differentiated evaluation skills. I think that's too much to expect from many/probably most people online.People don't seem to know we can be impressed by and praise something without denigrating something else;
Wonder why they fail at day and date releases on Switch. Beenox brought CTR and all its DLC day one to Switch with really good performance.Sucks that a Switch and PC versions will have to wait again, in typical Toys for Bob fashion...
I wish I could say I was surprised, but unfortunately people more often than not really don't know what good level design is. (Setting aside the inherent silliness of comparing the world design of an animated movie to a video game)Illumination are better level designers than Nintendo
I mean to be fair odyssey's mushroom kingdom isn't exactly a great space for gaming inlike I love the aesthetic of the film but designing spaces for animation is radically different to designing spaces for gaming in

Adding to these:To add even more to the insanity, the Switch era is also the generation in which:
- No More Heroes got brand new installments (plural!).
- Deadly Premonition got a sequel.
- Two indie studios were handed the keys of Nintendo IPs... and one of said IPs was The Legend of Zelda!
- A Nintendo console got a game developed by PlayStation Studios (and it has a very prominent PlayStation logo on the cover to prove it)
- Capcom and Bandai Namco initially were like "A portable Nintendo system? I dunno, sounds like a potential flop to me"...
- ... but freaking Bethesda almost immediately went "Oooh, I want me some of that Nintendo action".
- Mario had a crossover with a western-developed property. It was the Rabbids. Via a turn-based strategy game. And it was critically and commercially successful.
The whole thing sounds like the fever dreams of a madman, really.
HOLDSoul Hackers 2 on PS5 is 25€ and I'm very tempted to buy it, but at the same time it's a game I'd very much rather play on Switch so I don't know what to do.
I'm guessing it's just lack of manpower to deal with so many SKUs at once.. even back in the Skylanders days, they had a lot assistance and yearly titles were alternated between TfB and Vicarious Visions.Wonder why they fail at day and date releases on Switch. Beenox brought CTR and all its DLC day one to Switch with really good performance.

Shouldn’t it be Lioneyes?I'm never gonna finish this game, I keep coming up with new enemies.
A lion with deer antlers and an eye on each point on the antlers and it's named Lionize
Yeah but my autocorrect hates puns so...Shouldn’t it be Lioneyes?
Sure, it's a simplistic bonus level and not indicative of Odyssey or Nintendo's level design as a whole, but the comparison to a space designed for film is daft.I mean to be fair odyssey's mushroom kingdom isn't exactly a great space for gaming in
Hello darkness, my old friend.Family Christmas parties are already starting to get cancelled due to illness yayyyyyyyyyy isn’t it so fun
This reminds me of that time when EA made that James Bond spin-off, Goldeneye: Rogue Agent. One of the game's big selling points according to EA was that they had appointed as level designer someone that had previously designed sets for multiple Bond films and that was going to make the game extra CINEMATIC and SPECTACULAR and REAL and... and one of the many criticisms the game faced was the fact that the levels were incredibly dull, because making sets for a film and creating video game levels are completely different things.the comparison to a space designed for film is daft.
I’ve been laughing about this for over a day now![]()
