Err, actually, nothing.

I was just thinking of promoting the place on my other socials when I feel like it.

Just wanted to make sure that there were people you didn't want me inviting certain people or something.

Yeah. Odd question on my part.

No, great question! This community is very protective of itself, and I don't blame you for being wary of who you introduce.

That Twitter API pricing cannot be fucking real. Really hate it when people post hatebait as a screenshot without actually sourcing the fucking thing.

RIP FamiComms.

Tbh

I may or may not transition out of Twitter.

Hell, some I know seem to have moved to TikTok.

And I opened a Mastodon account.

So... eh.

The old socials of the 2000s and 2010s don't seem as appealing anymore.

 

[Brofield]

knowing modern Nintendo it'll probably be called Social Media Network for Nintendo Switch Online

Social Miidia Network

Preface: I agree and I am not defending him in the slightest

but also

if he’s doing all of this, it makes me wonder just how un-profitable Twitter truly was? like, he bought it for stupid reasons and he sucks, but that aside… how big of a mess did he buy? I can’t imagine the website was profitable before he took it over.

As far as I've read, it absolutely was not profitable before he took over. But it was neutral(-ish) enough for advertisers and financers to keep funnelling money into it. Elon changed that almost immediately.

What happened now?

Fuck twitter man, starting on the 9th they're charging for use of their API.
This means Famiboards needs to pay for the FamiComms thread bot, or just let it die.

I could see them calling it "Nintendo Network"

That sounds boring enough to be right

sorry old man but you're just a little too old to have nostalgia for that dope name and orange logo

fuckers better get pikmin 4 out before 3 turns ten

they don't want pikmin to be dormant, do they?

 

[Magic-Man]

I watched The Last of Us play-throughs as they came out. I feel old now.

 

[9-Volt]

Bruh

Some of these feel much older than 10 years. ALBW was 10 years ago? Same year as Tomb Raider and Saints Row 4? It feels much older than those two, for some reason.

 

[meatbag]

I don’t even use Twitter and I’m appalled by that pricing for API use. Talk about a crumbling platform.

My reaction was simultaneously “Wow the Last of Us is already 10 years old?” and “WTF GTA V is only 10 years old?”

I'm such a boomer that this immediately made me think of Nickelodeon instead


Edit: wait I just googled it and how did I forget Nintendo Network was actually a thing? I thought you were just spitballing based on the straightforward way Nintendo has been naming things as of late

 

[chocolate_supra]

So if Nick Offerman admitted to becoming obsessed with Banjo-Kazooie, then..

Ok. That’s stupid. If they were smart they would see it as an avenue to drive ad revenue and user acquisition. But maybe it doesn’t make much.

I think Xbox fans have officially surpassed Nintendo ones as the most doom and gloom, teetering on the edge of a knife fanbase.

Oooooh what are you snacking on

Didn’t they just get Hi-Fi Rush?

Yeah, but you've got the news that the PlayStation 5 is growing big time in the US, The Coalition canned their new IP (that was never officially announced), the Halo/343i news, the PS5 outselling the Xbox 2:1 back in November, etc.

FYI those have been the existing ones for a while, question is will there be a cheaper one with free ending or not

 

[MisterSpo]

Started Dorfromantik and then it was 2 hours later and dark??? What's with the passage of time, eh?

 

[ngpdrew]

The Last of Us has only been around for 10 years and it already has four games (including two remasters) and a television show. I'm almost 31, I've never even made a single game, and the closest thing there is to a television show about me is the Drew Carey Show (which isn't at all like my life other than the fact that my name is Drew).

I'm useless!

If it helps you feel better, I'm almost 38 and I can't even think of a tv show that I could joke about being about me.

I'm uselesser!

Why do they even worry about it? Xbox could sell just 5 million yet still be able to secure full third party support. It costs almost nothing to port games to Xbox.

 

[Brofield]

So if Nick Offerman admitted to becoming obsessed with Banjo-Kazooie, then..

Nick doing a Barney the dinosaur-esque voiceover for an animated Banjo Kazooie show would be pretty iconic.

Guh HUH

They like Xbox franchises that are in near constant crisis mode.

 

[Mr_No_U]

Xbox fans merely adopted the doom & gloom, us nintendo fans were born in it, molded by it

Heh. My favorite Xbox franchises died years ago. I've already done my five stages of grief for Viva Piñata and Project Gotham Racing.

And Ben already has the spirit and attitude of a wild bird so

 

[Suswave]

The pricing is absurd, also

YOOOOOOO nevermind that’s fuckin’ heinous

This so perfectly applies to every single thing Musk has done that I almost wanna bookmark it for shits n' giggs

T-shirts that go hard will be a loss for the platform. Some of those t-shirts do go pretty hard.

Haven‘t posted a lot lately, but I need to post one thing: The Switch‘s library continues to be extremely impressive, so many fantastic games! Currently playing Splatoon 3, Triangle Strategy and Xenoblade Chronicles 3, and I still have a three-digit number of games (mostly physical games that are not short) that I haven‘t beaten yet. I recently bought some 3DS and Wii U eShop games and I nearly forgot how small the eShops of these consoles are.

What a great console!

(That said, I‘m looking forward to the next Direct and to a more powerful Switch as well. )

That's like... a lot of three references, lol

 

[kimbo99]

Deserved. It was the most fun I had playing a game last year.

 

[SammyJ9]

I’m agreeing with the “how is this week not over yet” crowd. Work has not gotten the memo that we’re supposed to be in a cozy, relaxing time of the year lately apparently

 

[Mandos]

Got in something fun today. Not sure if even @Derachi will know this one, it was a whim clearance kit get. First SMP I’ve gotten(and possibly the last, they’re small and pricy! Was shocked how tiny the box was)

No idea! I frankly don’t know anything about anime robots. I’m a toku guy, anime’s not my thing!

It’s from one of the Tatsunoko Time Bokan shows, Gyakuten Ippatsuman. Don’t worry I didn’t really know it either XD. Almost none of the time Bokan stuff outside Yatterman Night made it west

It was on clearance and I’ve been meaning to try a SMP

I didn't see an F Zero game until I was already a man and by then it was nothing but blindness.

 

[9-Volt]

Not a game announcement, I guess.

But I'd gladly accept a Pixeljunk Shooter sequel with Arwing ship skin! Port the first two to Switch too please.

Oh man imagine the salt(I’ll take Star Fox 1+2 HD instead)
