@ChaoticKirby I hope it does it's work as quickly as possible.
@blindsquarel Okay... Weird thing to get hyper fixated on.

It’s really annoying seeing posts online about Majora’s mask 3D. I just saw one saying that they just bought the game and wanted some tips. Instead of actually helping the guy, all anybody could do is talk about how the 64 version is amazing and the 3D version sucks. Just let people enjoy the version they want to play.

@TeaCatherine
My family gets hyper focused on some strange things.

@blindsquarel How does the 3d version suck? I hate to say this but I probably wouldn’t have ever played the 64 version because I think everyone looks so darn ugly. How? Lmao.

@blindsquarel Doesn't everyone's? Mine certainly does.
Also, that does sound annoying, some people on the internet just get het up over the smallest of things.

@Snatcher Yadayada, something to do with fishing, they changed how you do a certain boss fight and I think how you get some of the masks.

@TeaCatherine It's good to hear, I hope none of us get it again

@ChaoticKirby It's nothing serious, so that's good news. No go and get some rest soldier, you deserved it.

@Snatcher
The bosses were given an eye weak point, zora swimming was nerfed, and deku hopping is slower ( not by much though). But if I had to choose between the two versions I would go with the 3ds, because it has some quality of life changes ( changes to the inverted and double song of time) and the graphics actually look half decent. Plus some of the bigger changes like zora swimming, are used for about twenty minutes total and not really a big deal.

Just gonna put this here....

@TeaCatherine Oh no what a nightmare lol.

@blindsquarel It’s fine if someone enjoys the original, those changes are enough I feel like to warrant you wanting to play the original, but why mess it up for someone else? The changes aren’t even that bad, like my goodness.

@Snatcher
I do think nostalgia has a fair bit to do with the love for the 64 version. I myself haven’t played it, but my brother has and said that nearly everything in the game is worse than the 3D version. At the end of the day, it all boils down to which version you first played ( in most cases).

@blindsquarel I kind of forgot about the eye weak point not being in the original (I haven't played the original but I think I once saw a list of the changes.)
Hey, @Snatcher at what point next week are you changing your PFP?

@TeaCatherine
Yeah, it seems like a petty complaint for most of the bosses, and the fights against Twinmold and Goht seem to be much better. ( from what I know they were pretty mindless in the original.)

@blindsquarel Hmm, I may have to watch a video of that at some point.
Anyway, g'night y'all and tomorrow we shall see if there is a Direct. Fingers crossed, fingers crossed, fingers crossed!

@blindsquarel Pretty much, I played the 3d version first, I tried to go and play the original, but I just couldn’t stand it personally.

@TeaCatherine Monday or the day after (:

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Or a TotK Direct, given that it’s only 96 days away from release.

@TeaCatherine Yep, really holding out for another Direct! Enjoy some sleep. Tomorrow may be a glorious day!

Here’s to hoping that Meta Knight wins another Grammy tonight.

If he does win another Grammy, it better be for this:

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika There’s also Advance Wars, the next Splatoon 3 season, and the next couple of courses for the MK8 Booster Course Pass.

@ComfyAko I think we had Lion King 2 at one point. Not sure if we still have it though, and I don't really have a recollection of it. I only watched the first one multiple times when I was a tot.

@Tyranexx I've made a decent amount of progress in Hollow Knight before I got really stuck. Ah gotcha, I didn't play any of the Castlevania games until quite a bit later. Around the early 2010s, I wanna say, since I got the first NES game and Rondo of Blood from the Wii Shop Channel. (Rest in peace, Wii Shop...)

Nice work on finishing Mole Mania. I think I made it through the first two worlds as of now. I finished Kirby: Planet Robobot and it's such a fantastic game. I finished the game with all the Code Cubes, too.

That's cool, from what I've played of the DQ games I do like what I've played as well. Wonder when I'll get to the DQ games I have... I'm not that great at keeping up with RPGs in general, lol. Just a thought I had, but maybe I could have a day of the week where I'd play an RPG or two on my spare time. Like if I wanted to get more time into the RPGs I have each Friday, for example, just to encourage myself to at least get a decent amount of play time in them... then again, I have been kind of busy lately. I did play a bit of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 today before my controller's battery got low.

That's cool you've been playing Super Mario 64. I actually gave it a replay fairly recently, and I will kind of agree. I have kind of a soft spot for that game, even though it doesn't control the best, and a few of its levels don't really sit well with me. I'm not a fan of Tiny-Huge Island and Rainbow Ride, for example. The majority of the levels, I do enjoy.

@Sunsy Thanks for showing me the video. I actually enabled the widescreen mode when playing the game and it looks great, albeit kind of letterboxed. I actually tried out the cinema option for curiosity's sake, and it's even more letterboxed. So I went with the regular widescreen option. It's really cool that it's a thing, I know that a few GameCube games have a widescreen option as well. I might change the controls like that, though I've already adapted to the default controls so I'm in no rush. Thanks again though.

I think I first pulled off the Minus World glitch on the 3DS Virtual Console version, which I got for free as a 3DS ambassador. Before that, I couldn't get the glitch to work, so I just played normally. Which is what I pretty much always do anyway, lol. Shifting gears just a little bit, I like playing games either casually, or trying to go for all the collectables, like getting all the Power Stars/Moons in 3D Mario games. I'm usually confident enough to do so in platformers.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla took home the Grammy for Best Video Game Score, or whatever it’s called. No Nintendo games were nominated.

This is hilarious!
