Wait are some people actually thinking you get spirits by using actual money? Nobody seriously thought that right?

100% I did. It’s full of mobile game Gacha mechanics and I still expect it to have something along those lines

I watched it at a friends place and I started laughing and clapping when they announced Piranha Plant because of how far off all the speculation was, and yet all camps were so convinced they were right

I also started clapping when it turns out the catchy Ultimate theme has LYRICS

I'm feeling a bit more confident in REvil4 now. This morning I made friends with a Spanish cop and we bro'd down hard until the locals got rowdy but I managed to escape and now the main dude says I've got their blood so I guess I've passed the hazing ritual and I'm part of the frat now. I can't wait for our first kegger!

Oh definitely, nobody wanted to work with Silicon Knights, but I mean nothing's stopping them from getting someone else to do a sequel, or making one in-house.

actually reminds me of something i've always been curious about. not really game specific but:

that particular three note sequence at seven seconds into the above track, Mi-Do-Re on the background organ? guaranteed frisson right down my back, every single time I hear it, be it that song or some other one with the same 3 notes

wonder why that is

a valley without wind is kind of actraiserish, filtered through the absurd arcen games lens. that's the only thing I can think of off the top of my head though

i was gonna say valley without wind sarcastically because that is the most in-description-only i've ever seen in my life. and don't even get me started on how lazily the multiplayer is balanced

You know thinking about it, I'm fairly confident that in some internal development conference Sakurai probably remarked "I'd rather put a piranha plant in my game than loving Waluigi".

Then he thought about what he said, nodded his head, and began to seriously consider it.

I will lightly protest, online, if waluigi is not one of the dlc characters



By that I mean I'll go "drat that sucks" because he's good and should be in as a playable character

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
Apparently my recent painful condition was shingles, of all things. I'm 31, I don't think I should be getting shingles in my early thirties.

In RDR2 I tried to do this quick draw thing maybe 25 times because I wanted to see if I could shoot the guy's gun out of his hand. I could, but forgot to pick it up on the final attempt and now I'm going to forever have a gap in my weapon compendium. My last manual save from before that mission was before I had done a half-dozen other things so I didn't want to go all the way back and do them again, but now I'm a little worried that I've locked myself out of an achievement and if I should ever get a wild hair up my rear end to try and plat it, I'd have to start a new game for 100% completion.

e: Just looked it up and I only need 48 out of 111 weapons for the trophy. Phew.

I've never gotten a platinum in a Rockstar game other than the PS2 GTAs because they always have online trophies

It was especially annoying in Max Payne 3 because I did all the single player stuff like New York Minute Hardcore which is legit hard but didn't wanna grind out their online which barely anyone was playing

Most recent major Nintendo releases has gacha crap in it with no real money aspect because the generation of cell phone gamer children actually think that poo poo is just fun, period.

You can get shingles any time! My virus clawed its way up my nerve cells when I was 22. I even meant to suggest that to you when I saw your post last thread but I forgot.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Last Spring I got contact dermatitis from my wedding ring all of a sudden and now I can't wear it for even 20 minutes without my finger becoming swollen and blistered for weeks. Don't get married, kids!

There's no need to rush to be an adult.


So, related to last thread, I also found the Klan meeting in RDR 2. Proceeded to dynamite, shotgun the survivors, then free the horses. They have poo poo loot, too.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one.
