When you gotta work on May Day.

(At least I'm done now.)

Same. Was a pretty horrible week all around on my end in terms of work, and it’s not looking like it’s going to be much better in the near future; probably the contrary.

Not even sure I’ll have much time (or rather energy) to play games these coming months. Thank God for handhelds, at least. (Even they can’t totally make up for it, sadly, but they help.) It’s a bit frustrating, given that I’ve just left another long stretch of too much work behind me, and now I’m getting dragged into another round yet again. Ugh.

Hm trying to decide if I’m jumping into Ryza or Hack GU

 

[Stilt Village]

The Nintendo 64 is by far the console with the most major games featuring a toilet of some significance

 

[Mr_No_U]

um why is Famiboards now forcing us to link our FBN (FamiBoards Network) account to continue posting? this is bs

I might recommend starting GU, completing the first game, take a bit of break, and then jump into the second. The games originally came out space apart so taking time in between them feels naturally and they're pretty repetitive, especially the first one where your character's combat growth is minimal. I certainly got a little burned out when I tried to binge the first two games back to back.

i looked around for the plain icon but it looks like it’s been the same Switch icon since the beginning according to the dev

Spoiler: Dev Icon Tweet

,,, i did find this other icon though on some Steam grid website, if it’s official i assume it’s the desktop icon…? but couldn’t find anything about it being used for Switch x.x

Spoiler: PC Icon?

thank you so much for your diligence

my best guess, then, is that I cannot trust my mind and I see things that aren’t there

but. let’s be real. we all already knew that!

gonna guess I conflated the Pentiment icon with it and imagined the pixel dog’s face in it.

or really was similar to the one you showed, but more like a jagged close-up of the dog sprite from cutscenes just against the lighter blue of the two

what a world

Just wait until we announce a list of countries we'll be restricting from account creation.

 

[Suswave]

y’all there’s gonna be a Boy Island hardcover

I cannot overstate my excitement

 

[Chie]

Anything to get those MAUs up!

Oh I know to pace. Still need to get back to Hackers memories after finishing cyberslueth 2 years back… tho partly cause that has to fight for the cartridge slot

I had a few good things happen over this weekend.

Gotten a hug from a waitress simply being nice to her and telling her she was a wonderful waitress.

Got a copy of Pokémon gold at a store. Turns out the store had a store wide sale going on, originally sixty dollars, got it for fifteen off.

I also got my first fortnite win as a storm trooper. Not about winning, it’s about sending a message,

After all, Famiboards is a circle of hell. We need to make sure you're ready to dive into it.

Those Jedi aren't so high and mighty now!

I haven’t encountered a player with a lightsaber or vader yet so far.

My aim has gotten a lot better.

 

[Mekanos]

The Rare factor skews things a little bit

 

[chocolate_supra]

My aim has gotten a lot better.

But I thought you said you were playing as a storm trooper

 

[Legion of Primes]

But I thought you said you were playing as a storm trooper

I wanted to be an inspiration for storm troopers every where. I was hoping to do it for May the fourth. Came close a few times yesterday.

Gonna take a break for a bit some today and play something else, probably more of the dark forces remaster

 

[meatbag]

Points for winning the battle royale, but minus points for not committing to the role lol

Nah, we don’t turn into a circle of hell until later this week.

My ghostly self trying to read up on this feud and figure out what all of these diss tracks are referencing

Kendrick vs Drake?

 

[Suswave]

I know everything I need to know: Drake is a shitbag

next question

 

[Derachi]

next question

From what I understand: Mr. Lamar seems to agree with you on this

 

[chocolate_supra]

My ghostly self trying to read up on this feud and figure out what all of these diss tracks are referencing

I read "diss" as "dlss" at first just to illustrate how far gone I am by now

 

[oomoepoo]

We're probably save until May ends without any Direct

 

[oomoepoo]

Anybody played Kotor 2 on Switch? Is the port alright? I know they kinda dropped the ball with not delivering on the Restored Content Mod but I grew up with the original on PC, I think I can stomach that.

Currently playing the first one through the free trial and I'm a bit tempted to get both games on Switch, just for the novelty of playing them in bed

 

[meatbag]

Nah, we don’t turn into a circle of hell until later this week.

You mean like a couple of days, right

We're probably save until May ends without any Direct

Nah, financial report is coming up and it will report nothing but finances and the world will crumble

 

[bayonetta]

 

[chocolate_supra]

okay wow

 

[shoptroll]

You mean like a couple of days, right

Yes. Fully expecting the server to melt down again regardless of what comes out of the financials.

 

[big lantern ghost]

financial report is coming up

 

[Mr_No_U]

this is i never pick anything up

 

[D36]

My Twitter tl is filled with people talking about this rap beef for the past 3 days and it's honestly been entertaining. I haven't paid attention to beef like this since idubbbz vs Rice Gum...... yeah, that was pretty corny looking back. Though, as a Kendrick fan, those wife beating allegations........

Hoping they're not true, but I'm not holding my breath.

 

[TheQuietone]

That's it? It only sold a million this quarter? Bomba

 

[oomoepoo]

Could someone explain this to a friend of mine who doesn't pick up on it at all?

 

[D36]

That's it? It only sold a million this quarter? Bomba

What sold a million?

 

[Mr_No_U]

What sold a million?

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth apparently

 

[big lantern ghost]

OK but how many dump trucks full of cash did Sony send out to Square Enix

 

[D36]

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth apparently

Woooooooowww...... I know it's a sequel and all, but sheesh!

 

[chocolate_supra]

fuck him up Homura

 

[shoptroll]

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth apparently

I know I said something about a year ago in a JP sales thread about how long until Asano games outsell FF but I expected that to take a decade at least. Jesus.

There is something weird going on where Kendrick seems to have dirt on Drake and dropping his disses so fast there has to be somebody in Drake's camp being a mole. It's getting quite ugly. J Cole was right stepping out of this.

Edit: FF7: Rebirth only now sold a million? Is that official? Because SE can't be happy with that...

 

[Mr_No_U]

To clarify the Rebirth sale thing was a joke. I believe sales are closer to 3 million? Or around there at least

 

[oomoepoo]

To be fair to FF7R, the game will probably have some decent legs, especially once it's out of Sony-Jail.

 

[chocolate_supra]

you know the thread is getting out of hand when Mr_No_U breaks character to tell us it was just a joke

This, and also a three-game rerelease for next gen is most probably coming.

Did they ever do a sales milestone Xit?

And a few steam sales to boot

Next gen?
I swear to fuck if they don't release VII-R3 until the damn PS6

I.... Damn you are so right, the third and final installment is not out by a long time, didn't think about that lol

 

[HockeyBird]

I'm always thrown off whenever I see @Mr_No_U posting seriously in other threads. It's like bumping into your teacher at the grocery store. You wonder why they exist outside of where you expect them to be and why they are being so friendly.
