He doesn't say he specifically hates Borderlands, maybe he just hates people having a good relationship with their fathers.

Metroid Prime had some good dark humor in the pirate logs like when the science team tried to reverse engineer the morph ball

Faster than the others



That one gets tossed around a lot, but there's also a log that reminds the pirates that Metroids are not pets and anyone caught deliberately feeding them extra gets demoted immediately.

hey yall i might be getting a oled in a few days so i was just wondering: whats some good accessories for it? i already have a sd card from my lite and am planning on getting another screen protector; are there any particularly stand out things for that version?

I picked up a OLED recently and just grabbed a screen protector and a carrying case for it, nothing else really. Basically just things to protect it if Im bringing it around somewhere.

edit: and a sd card!

What are you talking about, that part where Samus says "I gotta go to the planet of Zebes to kill all the space pirates" and then Adam is like "Samus that's bad don't give me a thumbs down, think of your womanness" and she's like "Zebes nuts", that's comedy

You’re right I forgot about that part, I stand corrected.

the pirate logs in Prime 2 are hilarious, they are just flipping the gently caress out the whole time because they’re stranded on this lovely planet with no resources, their base is literally falling apart, and they’re constantly getting attacked by swarms of dark magical bugs and not one but TWO Samuses

1 (800) 255-3700 and also tweet @NintendoAmerica they'd probably trip over themselves to help out and also get the PR boost for a feel good story.

When you call they'll want the number for customer support at the bottom of the user settings in the profile.

There's also the fire up splatoon make a doodle post pointing to a burner twitter or Reddit account name to contact and then play a shitload of turf war hoping someone in their friends list sees it somehow method.

At least that'd be my excuse for playing a shitload of splatoon on a switch I found while trying to reunite it with its owner.

You might be able to give Nintendo the serial number of the console and see if they can contact the e-mail connected to that system or something

When in doubt play 7, but 9 is really good too. People either love or hate 8.

well nintendo support on the phone said they can't give me any contact info about the owner and their suggestion was to give it to the cops and hope that the owner reported it lost. which is fine i dont think they should give me anyone's personal info but im surprised they wont reach out to the owner themselves.

that seems lame so i'll try the twitter account now

Ya that's bullshit they could have easily taken your deets to pass on to the owner.

Don't hand it to the cops you'd be better off hanging on to it and putting the word out on local social media. If you turn it in theres a good chance the cops will either throw it on a shelf and ignore it until it's time to auction off found goods or some cops kid will get a used switch for Christmas. I mean I have seen cops on occasion try to reunite bikes with their owners when I worked in a bike shop but I've also seen people's easily identifiable bikes end up in the auction.

Also shame them on twitter and r/nintendo. Sometimes you get a lovely customer support rep or run into a lovely corporate policy and the fix is to light a PR fire until someone at the company sorts it out.

I like 8 but for the exact reasons that I would never recommend it be the first choice for someone looking for similar experiences to 4 and 6.

9 is the safest bet out of the PS1 titles, as a deliberate send-up of the final fantasies of yore. 7 is great of course. I’d even recommend X wholeheartedly with the caveat of being more linear.
