@Tyranexx Oh sweet, that'd be cool for you to share as well. Glad to hear you're enjoying yourself with the building process overall, best of luck on getting the rest of the build done! Been wanting that Lego set in particular, since I always loved Super Mario 64.

Yeah totally, games should indeed get harder as they go on. Yep, they've been around since the first game! There's a hammer in Super Mario RPG as well, though it's just a weapon you can equip. You have a great trip in advance - stay safe out there!

@Sunsy Ah yeah I played Fire Emblem Heroes as well. That was a decent game from what I've played. That's cool, and yeah, the SM64 set's the only Lego set I have now. Before that, when I was younger, I'd put together those sets that were vehicles, like that blue motorcycle and a car that was likely a red Ferrari, or something that looked similar to that.

Yeah, the new demo for Triangle is much better, @Tyranexx .... You won't mind it being a bit 'story heavy', presumably? Glad to hear XC2 is still going well! I liked Origami King quite a bit, the battle system is a good balance overall & the story is great

Holy flurking schnit.

Have my US people seen this non-profit online pharmacy site started by Mark Cuban? https://costplusdrugs.com/ Is this real? If you don't want to click the link, you can google "mark cuban pharmacy". The story is, Mark Cuban started the non-profit to disrupt excessive prices of the US pharmaceutical market. Two drugs I take retail for $200-300, and $50 for a 90 day supply. He's selling them for $8 and $11. Strangely, even albuterol inhalers are still $30-40, those things have no business being over $10-15. Anyway, supposedly, they are continually expanding the drugs they offer, in case you can't find one on the site. (cough! Advair)(Non US people, advair inhalers are $300 USD)

Probably smart to avoid political commentary. The regulars here know, even objectively true unoffensive constructive statements can be like playing with matches in the forum. Sad, but true.

@WoomyNNYes i heard about this! I work in pharmacy and I think it's brilliant. I don't know how long his business model will survive but it's nice to see a company putting their patients first rather than their reimbursement rates.

@Vortexeo Erp. I was at class, couldn't do a live reaction but I did do a reaction stream after classes on my youtube. But goodness, what a direct. We got lots of great games comin our way. Some I'm super stoked for are Klonoa, Kirby, and XC3. LiveALive looks pretty rad also.. Chrono Cross remaster is cool but when I saw a ship and the moon... I thought it was Skies of Arcadia Legends and I was like hyper-ventilating for a sec lol. We seriously need a remake of that game. Ever play it? I feel like the direct was awesome had a lot of value but I was hoping for something on a 3D Mario or a 3D Donkey Kong. I hope that with how utterly AMAZING the new Kirby looks that the sales numbers push Nintendo to "evolve" Donkey Kong into 3d. All in all though, SICK direct. We got Xenoblade Chronicles 3 <3

Sorry for the late reply here! But hey, I'm glad you're still around! I was worried you just disappeared haha. But yeah the direct was SO GOOD! I can already feel like my backlog is going to increase exponentially haha 😅. As for the Skies of Arcadia Legends, I have heard of it but I have never played it myself. I just looked into it and it seems right up my alley! Maybe I'll give it a shot at some point lol.

@Tyrannex Man, you're making some good progress! I actually just started my new game plus playthrough for Torna! I very much agree with you on the field skills remark. I made a wishlist for Xenoblade 3, idk if you saw it but one of the things I put on there was that I hope field skills don't make a comeback. In Xenoblade 2 they weren't really implemented well at all.

Add me on switch if you like Xenoblade :)

Replying on a treadmill during my lunch, forgive any typos or grammatical issues.

@MarioLover92 Thanks! While I don't have any nostalgia for Super Mario 64, I did play the game on the Wii U virtual console a few years ago and quite enjoyed it. Not sure about this evening, but I should be able to make some progress tomorrow evening...maybe even finish?

Now while I'm not a Mario RPG vet by any means - working on it - I have played and beaten Super Mario RPG! It's easy to see where both the Mario & Luigi and Paper Mario series got some of their core ideas from. And on my trip: thanks! Definitely looking forward to it! It's been awhile since I've traveled more than one state away.

@BruceCM I've sat through all three Golden Sun entries, so I'm quite used to RPG waffling. XD Appreciate the feedback on my current and future gaming endeavors.

Man I'm so glad I never cared about Sol Cresta. I already had massive skepticism from seeing the price (I'm pretty sure it was around the 4000 yen figure) and the erratic nature of the game kinda confirmed my suspicions. Honestly, the whole game felt like the result of one of Kamiya's fever dreams. It's interesting to see him explore a passion like this but treating it like an AAA game, from pricing to marketing, is silly. On the flip side it's nice seeing Horizon: Forbidden West do well review-wise, and that kinda went as I imagined too; great sequel but it's more of the same, and won't change the minds of people that didn't like the first game. I'll wait a few weeks or months to grab that, because believe it or not, even for a AAA PlayStation first-party game... I can wait.

@Tyranexx Precisely. I'm being a bit more conservative on collector's editions than most but it's for one's own good at the end of the day. I haven't ran into any scalping on my end, thank goodness, but it's a matter of time now, especially with hardware due to the insane chip shortages. I feel like I've bought nothing but open world RPGs over the last two or so years though, so getting into different kinds of games'll certainly be worth it. There's rumours Cyberpunk 2077 may get a native PS5 edition, though, so having bought the game for half price I'm making use of that.

As for XC2, it wasn't polished as much as I imagined, and can play pretty clunky at times, which is a reason why XC1's my preferred game there. It's probably a coincidence but my favourite games in that series came first, and 2's my least favourite (but considering how good the series is it's not an insult) as a result. It's nigh-on maddening X hasn't gotten ported yet. I may need to break out my Wii U just to play that game, if I get desperate.

The next few months are going to be CRAZY. I've never felt this kind of Nintendo-caused buzz for a while and I missed it.

Hope you all had a good Valentine's Day.

@Zuljaras Thanks, same to you! Oh, gotcha. I don't have any to give though - my apologies.

@Tyranexx Yeah no problem! Oh that's good you still liked it. I've finished Super Mario RPG as well, beat it on the Wii VC long ago. I finished all the Mario & Luigi games and most of the Paper Mario games too. The only ones I didn't beat were Sticker Star and Color Splash. Mainly because I didn't like SS, as I've said multiple times before, and I never got CS.

@Sunsy You'll like this. I watched The Princess and the Frog on Valentine's Day and I liked it! Love the songs in that movie, too.

Just now, I was browsing images from Google image about Ninja Baseball by curiosity and accidentally I found something interesting.
I found a retro Arcade game with name Ninja Baseball Bat Man. The game was beat em up style with Ninja + Baseball player looking guys with baseball bat as their weapon. When I watched the gameplay video, it looked fun and very cartoonish. Take a look.

@MarioLover92 Cool, I think when I was younger, I had a couple of space themed sets where there were spaceships, and other futuristic sets, as well as a racing set with several cars, one of which said "Octane" on them. Nowadays, I don't usually get Lego sets, but it does make me happy to have a few character ones, as those never existed when I was a kid, and having some of them along with the Dimensions stuff.

Glad you saw Princess and the Frog, a Disney movie I don't see many talk about. Glad you like it.

@Sunsy
I knew about The Princess and the Frog by Disney. It has the saddest death scene of beloved folk (Death of Ray the firefly). I will drop my tears everytime I watched that scene.
Also, if you noticed Tiana, she was the first dark skinned princess from all Disney princesses.

Oh, I found something never before seen above.
I posted a gameplay video of rare Retro Arcade game from year 1993.

@Sunsy The movie was great (Princess and the Frog) but the singing was too much for me. When we are re-watching it sometimes we even skip the songs in THAT particular movie

The other classics like Aladdin, B&B and Mulan nailed the singing perfectly

@Eel It's a trip and a half, that's for sure.

I do like how tongue in cheek it is about Hollywood though, the whole 'CG facelift surgery' for Dale was admittedly pretty hilarious. There are just so many.... things that are just insanity though.

I feel like I've got to watch it when it comes out though.

@Anti-Matter @Zuljaras Nice to see others who seen it too, really I don't see it talked about much online so I get the feeling it's one of the more underrated or overlooked Disney movies.

That scene with Ray always gets me Anti.

That's fine Zuljaras, not every song is for everyone.

@Eel I saw this while doing some chores earlier. I'm surprised they brought that animation/live action style from Roger Rabbit back. Though, I did laugh at the Cats movie reference, lol (worth noting, I've seen the original Cats Broadway show live once).

@Fizza They somehow got My Little Ponies and Cats (from the bad bad movie version of the musical) in there. Among other things.

It's like Who Framed Roger Rabbit on steroids.
