Hey look at it this way: I helped you get to the top of this page!!

 

[switchum]

Let’s play a game. It’s called “what is switchum playing?” and the goal is that you have to guess what switchum is playing.

Here are your hints:

1) It’s an all-time classic

2) It’s considered one of the best games ever made

3) It’s part of a long-running series

4) Like, how the hell have I never played this?

5) It’s not like it’s a secret. It’s a super well known game that revolutionized gaming as we know it.

6) What the actual hell? I should have started this long ago

7) Seriously, what the fuck? You’re telling me I’ve taken 22 years to start playing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time?

…wait

shit I think I ruined the guessing game

 

[SammyJ9]

Mmm new thread, smell, etc.!

Happy to be in April - could be some fun developments this month

[Josh5890]

Great work BLG!

RIP Switch 2 March announement

... don't remind me

 

[chocolate_supra]

... don't remind me

I mean
you'll be reminded every time you see my avatar

 

[switchum]

Chrono Trigger

Correct

hackey sack

Unfortunately the answer was Chrono Trigger. I’m planning on getting on hackey sack over the summer once school calms down; I hear it’s pretty controversial in the fanbase but still has a lot to love

 

[meatbag]

For some reason I read sorcery as groceries lmaoo

Look being able to conjure groceries at any given time is a fantasy of mine

Oh no. I swear, if you trap me in the Sega Dimension again, I will LOSE IT.

... <silently shoves the blue tapestries into a corner>

Seriously, what the fuck? You’re telling me I’ve taken 22 years to start playing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time?

It's okay, you didn't miss much

 

[AngryAlchemist]

I'm so fucking tired of Stellar Blade twitter holy shit

samesies my god

except also Stellar Blade youtube

 

[VolcanicDynamo]

So I'm playing Dr. Mario on Game Boy NSO. Why, when the much superior NES is right there? No real reason. And because there was no real reason to play it over any other version of Dr. Mario, it led to a discovery.

Remember the Super Smash Bros. Melee rendition of Dr. Mario's Fever? Kinda fast paced, has this bridge at the end of the song that isn't there in the original song?



Well imagine my shock when I play Dr. Mario on Game Boy, get to hearing Fever, hear the faster tempo and the bridge, and realize that this whole time, they just remixed the Game Boy version of the song, and then they just...stopped bringing back the longer version of the track!



Twenty three years! Melee has been out for twenty three years, and I had to find this out by playing a version of a game I had no good reason to ever play???

 

[switchum]

It's okay, you didn't miss much

I’m saving my full thoughts for a review in the Completed Games thread, but I’ll give you a sneak peek:

-It is a fantastic game

-It is not the greatest game of all time

I’d love to hear more about what you didn’t like about it! Unless this was /s and I didn’t pick up on it

 

[AngryAlchemist]

-It is not the greatest game of all time

GET HIM BOYSSSS

It's okay, you didn't miss much

meatbag when someone mentions a 3d zelda before 2017

 

[meatbag]

Oh I wasn't being sarcastic at all. As AngryAlchemist alludes to:

meatbag when someone mentions a 3d zelda before 2017

I am not a fan of the pre-open air 3D Zeldas lol. But hey, see you in the Completed Games thread and we can talk about it!

 

[oomoepoo]

What do you mean, it's still March 32

You mean January... 92nd(?)!

 

[Lord Azrael]

Alright since a couple of people were doing the "Does this song sound like X" on the first page
I realize this next one is going to be an INCREDIBLY niche intersection
But please tell me if anyone else hears an Ace Attorney theme from 0:47 onwards

Okay now that's some cool lore

 

[meatbag]

It sounds more like a track from Murder by Numbers, which does have the same composer!

You mean January... 92nd(?)!

It's a New Year every month as long as you believe hard enough

 

[7threst]

New thread! Also, that Famicup of coffee in the opening .gif of this thread is just beautiful

 

[VegiHam]

Mother April Fool has left a new thread under the tree for us in European timezones to wake up and unwrap

 

[Imitatio]

I like Nintendo stuff

Spoiler

April fool! Fuck'em

ayyyyy when did you go back to Decim?

 

[Imitatio]

ayyyyy when did you go back to Decim?

Hm, that was a while ago. Two weeks or so, I’d guess.

 

[Mekanos]

New thread smell

If your threads smell, consider taking them to the cleaners

 

[PixelKnight]

Famicafe is open, phew! Sorry I’m late.

 

[komicer]

I thought I will finish Ryza 2 last month. I ended up spending so much time just alchemy-ing that I'm still quite a way from finishing the main storyline...

 

[big lantern ghost]

Good morning, everyone! Or uh, whatever time it is where you're at. The Famicafé never closes, so the passage of time is a little murky at the moment.

My cat really wanted to be in the OP but she's gonna have to settle for page 2:

 

[Skittzo]

 

[Imitatio]

I’d really like it to.

 

[Sadist]

Oooy

What’s all this

 

[Skittzo]

I’d really like it to.

Same, pal. Same...

 

[Zellia]

Been streaming FF7 Rebirth to my Steam Deck so I can play in bed and I gotta say, it's hella comfy.

Famicafe is open 24-7. But sometimes it’s more like a cup of tea in the small hours in a quiet kitchen than Waffle House at 1am.

[Skittzo]

So I updated my game to check if the date is between April 1st and April 7th and if so to double all Jester damage dealt and halve all Jester damage received. And also turn the Jester's random buff ability into a guaranteed jackpot buff every time.

 

[NabiscoFelt]

Alright it's been Q2 for several hours now

Where's Hades 2 Supergiant?

I almost fell for your April fools joke on Bluesky and was ready to make a thread on here to congratulate you

Unfortunately the answer was Chrono Trigger. I’m planning on getting on hackey sack over the summer once school calms down; I hear it’s pretty controversial in the fanbase but still has a lot to love

that will never work

the only true way to play hackey sack is at school — and you have to do it until you’re yelled at and it’s taken from you

you canNOT drop eternity with you in the thread and expect me not to collapse into a human flan, especially not after tdov

taking the day off from the thread to recover

 

[ngpdrew]

I think an image of a coffee shop from TTYD would have gotten more "Yeah!".

where do you make / host your gifs? they’re always so smooth and clean…

 

[lexony]

Give me an A! Give me

 

[big lantern ghost]

where do you make / host your gifs? they’re always so smooth and clean…

I host them on imgur, and I make 'em with GIF Brewery! It's got a nice, simple interface for adjusting the frames per second, adding overlays, etc.
