@NintendoByNature You should check out some of the downstate ones sometime! Haunted Illinois is a good resource for reviews and impressions of locations if you're into them.
@HobbitGamer Okay, now I'm definitely missing some context here. Please elaborate as it seems that whatever you're referencing has been edited. XD
@bimmy-lee I typically play a character, but I also help out with a lot of the parades and extracurricular events if I'm available. Besides acting, there's also a makeup team, security team, ticket booth people, build team, etc. Some people perform multiple roles.
I enjoy doing it. It's a nice break from the norm, plus there's always a joy in giving people a good scare.... We do follow rules though, and our guests are highly encouraged to read warnings and keep to their designated rules. Needless to say that doesn't always happen lol.
Currently playing: Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy (Switch)
@Tyranexx Person comments in the Evercade article "but you can't play this on TV" then Thanos asks OP how they figured it. Went like this (with added Hobbit flavor):
OP: But you cant play this on tv
Th: You can, my good chap, however did you reach such a conclusion?
OP: Nu-uh! Nintendo
Th: Nintendo Life? Why yes, there was indeed a mention of this miniscule arcade contraption featured previously within this website, but it never stated you could not play this on a modern television or televisual device.
OP: Nintendo website. You no read good.
Th: ......wat?
Then today on an article about the Switch Lite, the same user says the following (again, with flavor packets from my kitchen. imagine the voices!!)
OP: Told someone of no TV things I did someday
OP: Thanos man mean. call me liar
Th: ....finger snap
OP in both instances was talking about Switch Lite, even in the Evercade article. That's why it didn't make sense the first go 'round
Now granted, I'm giving the OP benefit of the doubt and assuming that English is not their first language. And @ThanosReXXX provides extra-crisp clarity to prevent misinterpretations of his posts. So it was pretty funny to watch and read. We're all just having fun playin some vidya gaems.
@Ninfan ugh man.. they sold out at target when I was looking today 😉. I'm kidding with you. I don't own it. @bimmy-lee welll....... now you know lol
This is the first time I notice them writing like an 8yo, but the one common trend with them is that they are usually on the negative nancy party whenever I see that user.
@HobbitGamer any time someone on the internet appears to not be a native English speaker, i just assume they're from a major us metro. People in Batu Batu are likely more literate.
Yeah, I think it sticks out to me because I scan comments quickly on my breaks. If the structure breaks down my eyes just glaze and stare, haha.
I'm escaping my electronic dungeon for the day!....And going to the store selling electronics... wait...
(Haven't made up my mind yet on DxM)
@Tyranexx I'll definitely have to. The fam wouldn't be interested. So it would have to be on a guys trip or something. We have statesville up here but I've never been.
@Tyranexx - That sounds like a lot of fun. People getting scared is right up there in hilarity with people falling down, and people walking into glass walls/doors. I loooove to scare my kids in non traumatizing ways. Right now, they’re freaked out about a goose that followed us home from the park recently. Every time they go outside, they’re looking around for it, and I just exploit the heck out of it. Do you know what kind of character you’re playing?
@HobbitGamer - That sale isn’t good enough. I’ll grab fantasy pirates when the price goes down to noon. I really enjoyed that synopsis. A lot. This is not even the first time I’ve seen something similar to this scenario. That person is getting dominated by the existence of SwitchLite, and it’s just marvelous to watch it all play out.
I’ve never understood why people get mad that something trivial exists. Wouldn’t it be a better use of our time to be mad about all the stuff that doesn’t exist? Hover boards? What kind of future are we living in really?
Oh, but it does. I was standing in a bread line when a neighborhood miscreant mentioned the Switch Lite. Before I could do anything, old people were assaulting each other with unleavened wafers.
Also, I caved and bought DxM. I’ll play it one day ðŸ˜
I swear I am so embarrassed to be a gamer sometimes. The comment section over the dialogue change for FE3H is a dumpster fire. And the people that are the loudest have no idea what they are talking about. "Rar censorship, snowflakes, and don't judge voice actors!" (do people not work for companies? Every company tries to distance itself from controversy because that impacts their reputation and thus sales/consumer good will. full stop.) And the text change takes out the added junk the localization team added. (is it "censorship" when your translation is wrong/has added text from the start?!) I feel like the definitions of censorship and free speech have been twisted into some macabre corpse pieced together out of impotent outrage, cruelty and deliberate ignorance.
I was trying not to weigh in because I don't consider myself translator level yet but I had to jump in since none of our Japanese regulars have posted yet.

I admit I kinda love how they just more or less assume the change must have been done as censorship in response to some sort of mysterious Schrödinger's controversy nobody really knows about.
@StableInvadeel I'm going to walk in handing out tin foil soon...

@bimmy-lee I just start screaming in my head "Does nobody have to take a civics class anymore? They explain this to you in elementary school!" but agreed, for all the yelling about "fake news" I think people have "fake reality" (as in many of those people ready to dismiss a journalist have absolutely no facts to dispute it with...just a lot of emotion. Banging on the table doesn't make you more correct.) I try very, very hard to stay out of that stuff because A) gaming website...I'm here to talk about the house of Mario. B)bits of text on a website are no way to have a coherent, factual conversation imo C) it's like talking to a wall anyway. D) not worth the energy I can use to play games. Or do anything else really.

Yeah, the whole thing gave me a chuckle. I figure it’s to make the localization more in line with the original language. Plus, I don’t care. It’s still an awesome game to me.
Even the House Of Mario has a moat.

@NEStalgia You did that on purpose. My eye just twitched. I'm mad at you now.

@Ryu_Niiyama - Yeah, FOS seems to have been co opted as a secret phrase to a club I don’t want to join. Even outside of gaming, and without getting into politics; it’s starting to sound like a dog whistle. It seems to mean a lot more that what it is to large groups of people.
