I just looked up all the stuff that I backed:
Xenonauts - Didn't play much but it was fun. Apparently they're making a second one which looks somewhat refined. Good for them!
Project Eternity - Obviously turned into Pillars of Eternity, which was good.
Shovel Knight - Great game, excellent "investment". Never thought Shovel Knight would cameo in so many other games and even Smash.
Mighty No. 9 - ugh
The Wonderful 101 - I saw the game in a local store before my Switch copy arrived lmao

That's encouraging to hear, at least! I've always been fickle about show endings and it always seems I'd rather a shitty cliffhanger because it got cancelled early or whatever the mess was that become of Heroes and Game of Thrones
Honestly looking back I'm surprised I didn't get into it myself given my previously stated interest in Heroes, but man these mid-00s shows are something else that I can't quite put my finger on but really nail what I'm looking for these days. Hell I'm about due for my rewatch of Scrubs but I'm trying to put that off for a few more months at least because it still feels a little fresh in mind having finished it back in early 2020

As someone who watched Lost as it aired I loved the finale and never understood the reaction it got. Great show from start to finish. Benjamin Linus is one of my all time favorite television characters, but I guess Brofield hasn't gotten to him yet lol

I think the key factor that makes those mid-00's shows special is that they were made at a time when networks were in the midst of perfecting serialized content. They weren't quite there yet, though, so they were still experimenting to see what would work. The beauty of LOST is how it draws you in with its big budget pilot about a bunch of strangers crash landing on an island and then slowly begins to become so much more than that simple conceit.
There are still some modern shows that tickle my fancy (Wandavision is an example that comes to mind), but I think at this point the formula for success is largely in place and networks are less willing to go nuts to see what works. They don't feel like throwing millions at weird concepts that might end up blowing up in their faces.

So many shows tried to imitate Lost during the hype.

Okay, enough messing around. There's no reason to hide your shame. I know you watch them, so it's time to admit it. How many VTubers are you subscribed to? Be honest. Be yourself for once. Let everyone see who you really are.

Zero. The closest thing to a Vtuber I "followed" was Alex CND while he was waiting in line for the Switch launch at the Nintendo NY store (I wasn't the only one because iirc some people from the old old place sent him some food at one point). That's about it.Okay, enough messing around. There's no reason to hide your shame. I know you watch them, so it's time to admit it. How many VTubers are you subscribed to? Be honest.

Day 1029 of my internet being a pain in the arse
On both my recent gaming PCs (a tower and now a laptop), it's been the case that any time I go onto it my DL speeds will have plummeted. This is only fixed by starting a Steam download and repeatedly disconnecting and reconnecting until, suddenly, it jumps from the 100KB/s range to the 7MB/s range. Of course sometimes that doesn't fix it, and I have to reset the internet entirely.
Just... whhhhyyyy. Honestly a part of the reason I'm moving out is so that my internet can be improved.

My Kickstarter streak is pretty good:
Shantae: 1/2 Genie Hero - Didn't actually finish it but the game turned out well and was delivered fairly on-time
Don Hertzfeldt's It's Such a Beautiful Day on Blu-Ray - Literally just getting one of my top films of all time on blu-ray. It's an amazing blu-ray too so it's an absolute win!
The Wonderful 101 Remastered - It came out. I got the PC version, but the Switch version both arrived late, and didn't actually arrive because of exorbitant Brexit charges being passed onto us. A fairly big loss, but at least I didn't come out empty handed.
Don Hertzfeldt's World of Tomorrow on Blu-Ray - Again, nothing much to say. Yet to watch these but I will one day for sure. I did order a signed print of the above film for like £100... and it's one of my most cherished possessions tbqh

I won't post it here, but I just shared some new music I've been working on in The Roost chat that doesn't have a home thread.
Might not be everyone's cup of tea (very poppy, I fucking love writing pop music) but I'm stoked about it

To be fair there are pretty bad regular-ass colds going around right now. I was off sick for a few days earlier in the month because of a really bad cold. None of the Lateral Flows came out positive and the PCR test didn't either - it was 100% "just a cold."
Team February has no need for petty symbols of avarice like these "buttock imprints" you speak of. Our intellectual, spiritual and physical superiority is ordained by the very order of nature itself!

For anyone interested in some non-spoiler first impressions of Pokemon Legends Arceus, this just came through the modqueue at GL&R. Some pretty good info here.
I expected a ton of hatred and the game to be a mess, but the initial responses are complete opposite. Poor marketing, good game, start of something special etc. Everyone who has it has a lot of positive things to say about it. Im surprised to say the least. Just thought you guys might be interested
- Pronouns
- He/Him
It's definitely possible some of them are colds. I just think it's extremely improbable and so am taking the "it's just a cold" self diagnoses with a huge grain of salt.
@Skittzo I almost forgot to add my video game merchandise post. here is my full amiibo collection. All North American amiibos are included. I am just missing Dark Souls :/
Awesome
Would be great if you would Post this here too

If it was added as part of Gamecube NSO (if such a thing ever exists—I doubt it tbh) then I could see it happening. If they're talking about like, an actual HD remaster released at retail tho? Nah, zero chance with Ultimate already on Switch.

First and only Kickstarter I backed is Sea of Stars. I'll keep the thread updated on that.
the joke is the game is obviously gonna rock and has already been featured in a Direct
Oh hey speaking of indies, one of the most haunting games I've ever played is finally getting a physical release!!

So funny how we're all affected by marketing differently. At no point did I think "oh this is poor marketing" when I saw anything related to Legends. It was a nice slow build from a casual sort of announcement all the way to release less than a year later. Worked for me.

Smash Melee will come to GameCube NSO, which will be made available as part of the Advance Pack third tier of Nintendo Switch Online during the second generation of Switch hardware and services.
My experience with Kickstarter is great. I got most stuff and it's not that bad. The only few bad apples are MN9 and Soul Saga.

Got all of the puzzle pieces and music notes in the first two worlds of Banjo-Kazooie. It's disgusting how much of this game I remember. Although Clankers Cavern is when things will probably start to get hazy. It's amazing how small these worlds actually are. They seemed absolutely huge when I was a kid.

Surely GCN-NSO isn't viable this generation due to lack of analogue triggers. Yes, separate controllers can be used, but none of the other emulators require them.
Maybe the successor will support some analogue trigger function. What do people think of pressure sensitive triggers? I wasn't keen on a large movement against resistance of GCN analogue triggers and pressure sensitive triggers could feel like simple click buttons for games not using the analogue aspect.
