I tried replaying fire red and one of the other old gameboy titles on an emulator during the pandemic and man, they are a lot easier than I remember. I get that they’re made for little kids but by the time you hit victory road, you’ll be one-shotting p much anything you run up against.

Speaking of which, it’s pretty weird none of the Pokémon games are available on the switch online service for either GB or GBA. You’d think those would be a no brainer

Iirc the old games were on VC so they'll probably drip feed them later for online hype


They did tease Pokémon TCG for the game boy which is cool

They were all on 3DS for like 7 bucks yeah.

I canceled my Nintendo online a few years ago because some of the games were good but most were just things I’d play for a couple hours at best.

All this talk of God of War and Pokemon. Not two things that go together but it reminds me of something from long ago.

Some goon came across an advertisement or something. I can't recall but I think it was two seperate pieces of different articles above and below each other. One about God of War and the other about Spongebob Squarepants. Goons had a field day doing MSpaints of Spongebob dressed up as Kratos and acting out the events in God of War.

I googled Spongebob Warpants and all I found was this:
https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3667892

I tried SA search and still got nothing. It's probably in the archives (over a decade ago) and I don't think it was goldmined.

Pentyne, can you help?

There’s all sorts of cool Homebrew stuff for the PSP. Emulators up to the 64 bit era plus MAME/Retrocade if you’re into old arcade games iirc. Maybe more since I last looked. Definitely check it out. That machine was by far the most mod friendly portable out there for a long time.

Yeah the switch is online enough for Nintendo to actually see edits to the console and will boot your rear end off the store if you modify it. Don't try to mod your switch unless you know what you're doing.

usually a subreddit will be a good starting point which will have a wiki/megathread with more links to go to for stuff like console modding/homebrew or emulators

You can beat Pillars 2 with like at most 12 fight encounters depending on your playstyle.

It has way less trash fights then any comparable crpg

so it is TECHNICALLY possible to only do 12 fight encounters but realistically you'll do more

that said, i encourage playing rtwp like it's turn based for poe2. the turn based mode just.. it isn't super well balanced, which is no one's fault because it was more of a proof of concept, but it leads to things like DEX not being useful at all, and stuff like that. pausing as often as you want gives you all you need, esp. with all the things you can enable to cause autopausing

but i really do agree that PoE2 is trivially the best CRPG to be released.

I liked the video game threads because whenever a bunch of goons come in and talk about how terrible a game/set of games are and I don't know anything about them I automatically know "oh this is a game that real life people generally love" and I'm always right.

The zip files thing was Yoko Taro, the Nier director, expressing his deep concern at all the dirty fanart of 2B going around, and his inability to dedicate the time to properly research the problem. The other bit iirc was Bayonetta’s character designer, rather than Kamiya himself.
