Hey everyone, staff have documented a list of banned content and subject matter that we feel are not consistent with site values, and don't make sense to host discussion of on Famiboards. This list (and the relevant reasoning per item) is viewable here.

It is low-key kinda fascinating how nobody ever seems to buy into one conspiracy and then just stop there. It almost always seems to snowball into believing more and more nonsense until they eventually reach full-blown "the earth is flat, the holocaust never happened, a secret race of lizard people control everything" types

Yeah more like cardstock, which.. I mean you could call that paper but some people are gonna be upset
Yeah sorry... he should be Pixel Mario but marketing decided it wasn't chic enough

I mean. it makes sense that once you're willing to believe one thing that is provably false because of anecdotal "evidence" then it's only a matter of time before you believe other unbelievable things.

Regarding the ban on Doctre81, it was brought to our attention that he has endorsed a harassment campaign against a marginalized game developer pushed by Libs of TikTok both in his YouTube videos and on Twitter. Libs of TikTok is a far right extremist known for hate speech and transphobia, and her calls to action have led to harassment and threats against marginalized people, such is the case here. Support of such an individual goes against the values of Famiboards, and Doctre81 and his content are no longer welcome here.

randomly updating the game after two years with unclear patch notes made me kinda worried that they might be preparing to shut down the game's online. tho i'm probably overthinking it.so

Allow me to ease your bothers. Check out Urbosa's official art, which the amiibo pose is derived from:
Urbosa's base isn't reversed - while she stands the opposite way in the box (presumably to show the figure better), placing the base in the intended direction has her match the art!
Thank YOU - For saving my mental well being.
Not sure why I didnt even think about that, I've seen this image a million times.

Uh.... were you watching my internal discussion last night when the BoardGame equilavent of Deku Deals page showed me a sale of a game I really wanted? That's creepy......
Fuck even here in Brazil which always had a really good vaccination coverage, free shots in the public health system and mandatory vaccines for kids to be enrolled in schools (also we have a great mascot for vaccines), after the shit shitty piece of shit last president the antivaxx movement started growing a lot.

The last few days, I’ve been occasionally loading up one of my old TotK save files and cleaning up some unfinished shrines. And damn, while it was awesome to solve them the first playthrough, it’s even more exhilarating to try to find alternative ways and solutions for them this time around. Like, I love the ingenious puzzle design and all, but the game is so flexible that there is always an alternative solution to find for people who are smart and persistent enough. Always.
Last night, there was this shrine where you have to paste two logs and a rocket together on a wheel and shoot the rocket to make the wheel go off and propel the logs into a button. If you know TotK well enough, it takes less than 30 seconds to figure out. Yet, I decided to try to solve it without using the wheel the intended way, and spent almost five minutes fetching another log and lining up two logs to propel the third log into the button without relying on the wheel spin. The feeling of “are you fucking kidding me, that worked?!” is extremely addicting.
What’s so incredible about the game is that you can cheat and cheese your way through so much of it. It might feel cheap and easy, but the thing is that TotK actively knows that its mechanics can be exploited - everyone knows about the rocket shield skip, yet there’s a shrine that teaches you the rocket skip, almost to sort of nudge you into the idea that while it’s fun to play the game as “intended”, the true magic is to sort of figure out the alternative, secret and much more efficient solutions.
Daryl Talks Games says it better than I do, in an excellent video of his.

It's also flexible to where if you aren't smart enough to figure out the intended solve you can sometimes come up with hamfisted ridiculousness to just get through it.
Yeah I'm talking about me.

I still wish we could get a postgame unlock that gives us infinite Zonai gadgets and lets us use them in the shrinesIt's also flexible to where if you aren't smart enough to figure out the intended solve you can sometimes come up with hamfisted ridiculousness to just get through it.

If they're allowed in Proving Grounds shrines, I can't wait to use the Irene-inator to obliterate all required Constructs in the blink of an eye.

Shit, haven't posted here much lately. Tbh FF7 Rebirth has been taking so much of my time and attention that I just haven't been on here much at all.
And talking about FF7 Rebirth, I got a ticket to the game's orchestral world tour in September
At the Royal Albert Hall and everything. The game's soundtrack is seriously GOAT-level so I'm incredibly excited. That's on top of the tickets I already have for The Last of Us in Concert this May. Can't wait for either of them.
Now back to more Rebirth. I promise I'll finish it soon!

It’s also (combined with Remake) pretty much everything that Versus XIII promised to be.Shit, haven't posted here much lately.

Ever had a dream you were playing a game that didn't exist and then you woke up wanting to play it for real? I was playing a weird 3d Zelda game and now I'm sad it doesn't exist.
No comment2024 Completed Games thread working too well?
In unrelated news, my next thread will be titled "I Have A Bigger Backlog Than Yours"
Oh definitely, it's nice to have a spot of peace and quiet.
I dreamt about playing a beautiful Pokemon-themed business sim once
