I started playing Kirby's Adventure for the first time and started to notice it was very familiar.

I had no idea Nightmare in Dreamland was a remake of it and I played the poo poo out of it when I was a kid.

That's what I've gathered from watching the occasional interview with TT racers or spectators. There's also a vocal minority of racing fans (and some professional racers) who think motorsport is getting too safe these days and go on about how there's no point if there is no danger (there is still plenty of danger when you're racing cars or motorbikes at high speeds, it's just that the most obvious and glaring safety issues have been ironed out over the years).

The Isle of Man TT is pretty much the last holdout of the old style of motor racing where racers dying from slamming their faces into a roadside building or a telephone pole at 180 mph was just how things were. Nobody batted an eye when the TT was a motorcycle grand prix world championship round back in the day because it all was stupidly dangerous, and it took until the early 70s for riders to start boycotting the event due to "safety concerns".

There's also Goodwood as a bastion of old school dangerous motorsport, to the point where they caught no end of poo poo for refusing to put some kind of catch net over the entrance of a spectator tunnel that runs under a section of the track after a car fell into it after a crash and narrowly avoided crushing a bunch of people. These though are people who look at an almighty crash that leaves basically a flaming shell of a car behind and are disappointed that the driver is able to get out unassisted.

Yeah, because you were a child back when kids were lazy and had nothing better to do. Kids nowadays are all managing their own online brand personas. They don't have time to time to waste getting good at 30 year old videogames, unless that's part of their brand.

After spending almost all of year 1 in Stardew valley preparing everything I needed to brew beer in the Winter, I managed to be off on my calculations by ONE DAY, which meant I was missing a critical ingredient to make kegs.

So I've been struggling to find stuff to do. It's been a long winter, and the denizens of Stardew have grown tired of seeing me listlessly walk about town, like a ghost in the snow.

Why would I play this when ROAD REDEMPTION exists?

Speaking of Road Redemption, an update came out for it recently! Everything looks and plays the same as far as I can tell, but load times are a little snappier. There's also a loading progress counter now that I hadn't noticed before. I'd be curious to see a changelog since I can't find anything about it online.

I actually got to the bottom of the mine on like day 4 of Winter so I have to wait until Year 2 to keep progressing...

But yeah I've been trying to just stockpile resources for the Spring. I guess I could upgrade my fences to iron but smelting iron bars is such a drag.

The quality sprinklers thing is definitely something I need to focus on. I actually have the recipe for Iridium sprinklers but I've only come across a few pieces of Iridium.

I like to troll around levels 40-50 because that's where most of the iron is. Iron is super important because so many crafting recipients depend on it, like preserves jars and kegs.

F13 ended up being one of my most-played games of 2018. It's goofy and unbalanced, but pure fun... like a high-production-value version of Mario Chase from Nintendoland.

There's nothing more fun than hiding behind a door and watching Jason break it down with an axe... then smacking him on the head with a frying pan, leaping out a window just as he reaches for you, and miraculously sprinting out the campsite alive.

Don't sleep on this game, people!

I have no idea why they'd even bother to put such a janky game on the Switch in the midst of them losing their rights battle over the game's content, it just seems like they're dumping a corpse into the lake and hoping fish bite at it.

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

I adored Friday the 13th when it first came out but I can't fathom actually telling people to play it in 2019. The game's dead in the water, there's no future for it, and when I quit they were still tailoring it to lone wolf players. Will the Switch version even have open voice chat, which is like one of the best things about Ft13? I must have put close to 400 hours into it when it first came out but these days I can't muster any enthusiasm for it. I'm just waiting for Dead by Daylight to seal the deal and get A Jason.

Scroll, then. There are other posts than these.


Isn't that Friday the 13th game the one that's not dev supported anymore? The dead by daylight game is coming to and has a ton of support though.

Wiki edit: On June 11, 2018, Gun Media announced that it had canceled all future content updates including DLC for the game, citing a dispute between Cunningham and Victor Miller over rights, lawsuit and ownership of the original film as making it "unfeasible now or in the future". The studio still plans to offer maintenance patches.[46][47] Miller won the lawsuit on September 28, 2018.[48]

On September 25, 2018, it was announced that Black Tower Studios would take over as the new development partner for the game.[49]

Sounds good

The overall consensus seems to be that dead by daylight is more balanced and robust — almost an actual tactical team game — but f13 is a much more fun and wild because Jason is generally much more powerful than the counselors (there were some patches that made the counselors stronger, but those got rolled back I think?).

So I replaced stick in my left joycon a few weeks ago because I had accidentally broken it. AFAIK it's not an OEM stick because the bottom of it doesn't match the OEM one (there's a stamped X on the bottom, OEM one was flat). No big deal, after calibration it worked great.

Two days ago the drift showed up.

I had always assumed that the drift was an issue with the sticks, but here I am, with a nearly brand-new, non-Nintendo stick that drifts.

Maybe the sticks aren't the faulty part causing the drift?

Can somewhat confirm? My left JoyCon started drifting last year, so I sent it to Nintendo to fix. They wanted me to send, not only the JoyCon, but the Switch console. They charged me $30 because it was an out of warranty repair. A couple months after I got it back, the right one started drifting. I called up Nintendo again, internally pissed because if they charged me another $30 at that point I might as well just buy a new set of JoyCons... but no. They told me the repair would be covered under warranty, because they had replaced the Switch console and reset the warranty. There was something fucky with the Switch itself causing the drift, not a mechanical problem with the JoyCons.

They can release Friday the 13th on a new platform but can't finish the content that was nearly done. I'm sure somehow this makes sense but lame.

It is an awesome game and I'd highly recommend it. One of the most fun times I've had with an online multiplayer game in years. (If you're one of the anti-voice chat people in this thread, you might want to stay away.)
