Saying what you'd do in hypothetical situations and actually doing it with your own kids are two amazingly different things and you don't "get it" until you're in the thick of it.

jivjov posted:Sounds like a perfect opportunity to explain and educate. Kids need to learn someday that when you buy a thing there are often other things that can be purchased along with it. From an extra side item with dinner, to a different stereo in a car, to appliances and furniture to a house. Not only did I already explain that your suggestion does not work for the specific age demographic that I cited, you completely defined the argument I am actually making incorrectly. Look, you don't have kids. You are not the first person without them to make these mistakes. It is actually very common for someone in your position. It's cool. I tried to explain it anyways as someone with quite a bit of experience with this matter but it didn't work. btw, I like Nintendo's DLC a lot.

jivjov posted:None of the amiibo content (which I will again argue is not really DLC, at least not in any traditionally accepted sense) outside of Splatoon is what I would consider vital gameplay stuff. Figure Players in Smash are a fun extra, completely ancillary to the game itself, and Mario Kart costumes are purely cosmetic. Bread Set Jettison posted:"Is jivjov a giant loving douche? really that depends. Saying that jivjov is a giant loving douche is perhaps too figurative. He is not, infact, an oversized tool for cleaning our vagina. Suggesting one of those things could exist would be ridiculous, as they would be impractical for vaginal cleanliness. Not to mention the fact that a giant douche has no physical way to post on a forum on the internet. Could a giant douche pay 10$? Does a giant douche have a credit card? Im just asking questions"

Well I'll be sure to report back when I actually have kids then. Seriously, it can't be that hard to tell your kids "no" or "you'll have to use your own allowance" once in a while. My parents had absolutely no issue doing so with me.

It's really good and their first foray into it (Fire Emblem) was really well done since they also pushed out free random campaigns to get enemy characters you ran into on your team. The DLC didn't add a ton but it was really well done. jivjov posted:Well I'll be sure to report back when I actually have kids then.

I don't mind amiibo unlocks once I realized if I really want to unlock something in a game from one, I can then resell the amiibo for more than I paid. Looks like every amiibo except Pokemon work with Yarn Yoshi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3euhNJHK-o

if you don't have children then you can spend all the money you like on kids amiibo toys and DLC for YOURSELF and you're also spared the pain of knowing you doomed them to live and also die horribly in a world which will be underwater or otherwise uninhabitable within their lifetimes

I don't know about most of those, but Hyrule Warriors has really cool and well-designed dlc for a good price. It also locks a single cool and fun weapon behind a $13 plastic figurine.

Yeah, this just occurred to me this morning as I drove around town looking for any stray Splatoon 3-packs. Found a lone boy! I'm glad that I'll be able to have fun with the challenges and then basically sell the DLC to someone else.

Is parenting a first party or third party game for the Wii U? e: For actual content, is their a content release map for Splatoon? I'm leaning towards picking it up, but I'm interested in knowing what all of the weekly promised content is.

^^^ I dunno about, like, a full diagram or something, but there's 9 maps scheduled to be released before August, and something like 6 more weapons I think? There are new game modes coming as well, and lobbies in August too.jivjov posted:I'm speaking from the experience I had with my parents.

No one cares about how you think your hypothetical parenting skills are better than others' actual experience with kids. Let's talk about cute things! does NA have an actual release date for yarn Yoshi yet?
