Monster Hunter Stories 2 is coming out July 9 and will probably be good. The original one on 3ds was technically impressive and had solid animal friend gameplay.

We may have finally found unobtainium but I will never find eywa.

My collection shelves are an unholy mishmash of M.U.S.C.L.E. guys, miscellaneous monster and creature toys of various vintage, indie game collectibles and ugly antique bric a brac.

And some Amiibos.

I think that monoculture collections of Funco Pops display like total garbage though.

Today the schaden is on me. I just got one of those notifications on Steam telling me that my niece is playing Lust from Beyond. It's a pretty bog standard first person walking sim with a bit of puzzle solving and combat now and again but the real draw is that it's utterly horrible and not afraid of showing terrible things happening to your character. I already got a 24 hour probe for mentioning what happens in another thread so I won't go too deeply into it. There is plenty of nudity and sex.

The thing is, I bounced my niece on my knee when she was a baby. I introduced her to Transformers Animated when she was older and she forced me to watch and then enjoy My Little Pony.

Now she's playing Lovecraftian bullshit that does not shy away from showing some of the most vile poo poo I have ever seen in a game and it's all my fault. I just looked at the list of games she's played over the years and there's zero chance a bunch of the more obscure stuff like Dungeons of Dredmor and Hinterland didn't show up because she saw me play it and I've also gifted her a bunch of other weird little games over the years.

Now she's 22 and a grown rear end woman, but because I'm an idiot that doesn't change the fact that I'm not sure if she should be playing games like this. Also, the game is a sequel that she hasn't played and I really feel like I should tell her about it.

Kids growing up can be awkward.

Trickiest part is making a Japanese account on Nintendo's website. Once you have that you just plug it into your Switch as another profile and you'll automatically be directed to the Japanese eShop when you use it. No VPN required.

You'll need to go to play-asia or another similar site to buy Japanese eShop credit though. On the 3DS you used to be able to use an American credit card no problem, but on Switch foreign credit cards and PayPal accounts are locked down.

hell ya thanks for this- guess i’ll try to figure this out when i get through my backlog a lil more.

it’s xxxtra dumb that i, the idiotic consumer, have to go out of my way to throw money at a company. i’m sure there is an equally dumb reason why it’s region specific too- something something dumb claims to dumb ips something something

There's Carrion, a metroidvania-ish game that describes itself as "reverse horror," in which you play a Thing-like mass of meat and teeth that would usually be the final boss of a game.

The creature design of A Robot Named Fight is definitely in Cronenberg territory.

But for a genuinely scary game? Maybe try Subnautica, people seem to say it gets to them at times. Otherwise for me it's Pikmin 3, which I had to put down, but that's more stress from losing the Pikmin.

I am starting to shift my AA and indie purchases from Switch to PS4/PS5 and it is kind of bumming me out. But the Switch is starting to really show its age on even things like Bloodstained, Hat in Time, Pillars of Eternity and countless others. A Switch Pro cannot come soon enough.

I will always buy and enjoy Nintendo games, but it being the primary console of choice for everything else is starting to fade away.

I love the concept of Switch and moving between portable / console? It is the best thing Nintendo has done in a long time and I enjoy supporting them on it. But the ports are getting worse and worse and it is hard to ignore that.
