@OctolingKing13 we've been asked that alot over the years, we did have one about 10 years ago for a short while. Long story short is that our editorial team don't have the time/resource to produce one at the quality we would want, and we wouldn't want non-core-staff to run one in our name. Latest theory is potentially subverting some of the video content we do into a podcast format, which is still up for discussion internally.

It’s extremely annoying to insert photos in comments and forums on mobile, why not make that easier?

@antdickens On the page about the Splatoon map rework, there was an error. It just said "Not Found" and the tweet didn't show up. The text was still there, however. So I'm not sure if it's just my browser or a bug on the site.

@Antdickens Whats the current rule for duplicate threads? I only ask cause I remember a few years ago I made a thread asking for game recommendations only to have my thread locked by the mod and directed to the recommendations thread. However now I see quite often threads popping up for What game should I get? Or Game recommendations threads. I am just confused cause like I said I was told by a mod that that's what the recommendations thread was for. I don't want to to sound rude but it's not really a good image for the site if the mod team picks and choose what to enforce. What makes it that a mod decides that mine isn't allowed but countless others are?

@Tasuki I wonder if the weekend is the reason, or because it's late night in UK now, and maybe they'll get to it in the morning. Or less people are reporting it.

EDIT: Oh, FishyS (below) makes a good point regarding the post-holiday surge.

@Tasuki Given limited official moderation resources, I feel like people from the community such as yourself redirecting the new person to the master thread works pretty well. Then the duplicate thread dies a natural death even if it is never officially locked.

Also, I have no clue why there are suddenly so many threads of new Switch owners asking for suggestions — maybe a post-holiday surge?

@Tasuki the rules haven’t changed, the usual process of reporting them applies — once we get chance to take a look, and we agree, they will be locked. But yeah, it’s the weekend and duplicates threads are lower on the priority list so hadn’t been looked at yet.

@antdickens OK, that makes sense. To be clear though it just doesn't happened on the weekend I have seen it happen alot lately so that's why I was curious.

Have yall ever thought having a Nintendo Life app?

@OctolingKing13 yeah, although there is little advantage in terms of the work required to maintain both a website and app. Also, Apple really only like apps that do something extra to what a website can already do — which in our case might be difficult. What features specifically do you think we need that only an app can do?

@antdickens
If the Nintendo Life and other Hookshot Media apps were built as Progressive Web Apps, they could be installed as icons via Chrome or Firefox to a user's home screen on their mobile device.
This makes them full-screen contained applications rather than being a browser tab (though they are still rendered using your browser's engine, and apply your configurations and add-ons).

https://www.leekduck.com is an example of a PWA that I've added to my home screen as a useful resource for Pokémon Go.

Yknow in articles there’s an option to share it on Facebook, WhatsApp, and a few other social apps? I think it’d be awesome if yall did and option for iMessage and Discord
