@HotGoomba___Rebrand You think he'd play Portal? No cartoon graphics, no six packs, no buy.

...Portal 2 is great though

@Kimyonaakuma Yeah, this is the same guy who called Smash Bros inappropriate, so I don't know what else I expected.

Then again he tends to absorb the personalities of the characters in the games he plays, so do we really want him to meet GLaDOS?

@HotGoomba___Rebrand Really? About Smash!?

...He's consistent, got to appreciate that 🤷‍♂️

@Zuljaras Aw man...sorry to hear. 8 days, huh? Best of luck on beating that virus!!!

Just finished Doki Doki Literature Club!!! Everyone should play it, it is a really great game

@Zuljaras Haha, sounds great. And of course, needless to say, but no rush. As always, I'm just curious what new projects you've got planned. I'll definitely be looking forward to it once again.

@Anti-Matter Ha, welcome to the big boy platform!
Nah, just kidding. I'm glad you've finally realized that the Xbox eco-system does indeed offer plenty of all ages-friendly games to play, and the Xbox 360 is the perfect starting point to familiarize yourself with them.

Congrats on your Kinect purchases, especially Kinect Adventures. Now all you'll need for having the full experience in that game is this:

@Eel Just out of curiosity: why did you lock the "my switch won't boot" topic? Doesn't seem like that person did anything that was against the rules, far as I can tell.

@ThanosReXXX perhaps I misunderstood but it sounded like this person was modifying the console

@Heavyarms55 Thanks. Didn't really play much today outside of gifting. Been home all day and buried in work for most of it. XD

You might be a little SoL on water spawns unless there are any nearby bodies of water you can travel to. Heck, you might even have luck with a small decorative pond or something if it's near civilization. That or you could wait for a rare wet weather event....

@MarioLover92 I'm the same way with certain releases as well, such as with The Legend of Zelda and Metroid franchises; I'll typically pick them up either the day of or at some point during the year depending on how full my backlog/empty my budget is at the time. I'm way pickier about the games I pick up these days and typically screen franchises or single releases I'm not familiar with via reviews, footage, genre, etc.

I do occasionally take chances though. I'm happy that I gave Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective a try on the DS; it's probably one of my favorite games I played this year! Conversely, while I enjoyed aspects of The Wonderful 101 Remastered on Switch for the most part, overall I could've done without it. I nearly dropped that one, but the positive points of the game were what kept me going. That final boss sequence though...that took AGES.

@Tyranexx I'm not too worried about it myself. I used to live on a water spawn point. But it's a bummer for the kid because he loves Greninja.

It's gonna be real fun by the time I get Age of Calamity and have to juggle playing it with Xenoblade 2, Splatoon 2, Animal Crossing and the various smaller games I've gotten on Switch.

I think I've had an unopened copy of Mario + Rabbids for most of this year too lol.

I've made a mistake here.

@Tyranexx That's good. It can be worth getting out of your comfort zone to try out new games and other things, because you never know if you'll like it or not until you get some hands-on time with it. I didn't play Xenoblade Chronicles until it came out on the New 3DS - I wasn't sure I would get into it too much but I'm glad I took the chance! I've been enjoying it quite a lot, and that's coming from someone who loves platformers more than anything. Same thing with Animal Crossing. I didn't play AC until I got New Leaf for Christmas and I liked it more than I thought. I eventually got New Horizons at launch and I spent 400+ collective hours on it - safe to say that I'm an Animal Crossing fan now.

@Heavyarms55 Greninja is a cool Pokemon! I don't blame the little guy. I probably would've used Froakie on my first playthrough, but I wasn't into it and Frogadier's designs as much as Fennekin and Co. Shame Delphox turned out to be a little disappointing in battle.

I'm sure we'll come across one at some point! Then it's only a matter of obtaining enough candy lol.

@MarioLover92 Oh, definitely! I wish I'd experimented more with games as a kid, but a lack of sufficient income outside of birthdays and Christmas (I did get an allowance, but it wasn't much) meant I had to prioritize what I did buy. Games were expensive, so typically I had to rely on parents and relatives. Needless to say the results were mixed lol.

I'd like to try out Animal Crossing, but I don't think it'll be anytime soon unfortunately.

Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition was my first experience with the original XC. I absolutely loved it! Definitely one of the best games I've played this year. It wasn't my first Xenoblade though; that honor goes to XCX on the Wii U.

@Tyranexx Yeah, throughout a large chunk of my childhood I mostly played Mario, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, and Sonic. I did do some experimenting with other games, though like you I kinda wish I went all-out with it. When my brother and I lived with my dad in a new house, in addition to the then-new GameCube and GBA, we had a ton of games for the NES and SNES. I do remember playing stuff like Axelay, Super R-Type, Bubble Bobble, Dragon Quest I and III (the series was called Dragon Warrior back in the NES days - I'm just calling it DQ), and Mega Man 3 (this was my first exposure to MM, which I'm a fan of now). We did have a Top Secret Passwords player's guide, plus we were subscribed to Nintendo Power at the time, so I did at least read about games I missed out on. lol

@Tyranexx Yeah. It or my rufflet will be my next buddy once I evolve espurr.

Greninja has a great shiny, and now that hidden ability patches exist, I won't mind hunting one whenever he pops back up in the main series.

Man... I really really want the Stardew Valley update! Last month there was a post about how it was in the home stretch and it got me really excited to jump back in!

But it's been silence since then. I know there's only one, probably badly overworked super genius making the game and all that. But it's because I love his game that I really want to play the update! lol

Yeah, and hopefully the console versions will get the update shortly after pc.

I don't expect mobile to get it any time soon though. Too bad, because that's my 'main' version.

In other news. Ahh it's finally starting to feel like winter. My room has been consistenty under 24°c all week long. I just love it when I can sleep comfortably wrapped in a blanket without any air conditioning or fans making noise.

Heh. I even had to put on a sweater for a bit in the morning. It's so nice.

Meanwhile, here in Indonesia is rainy season.
It's raining at my hometown now.

It may rain here next week according to the weather app on my phone.

That would be nice.
