@Snatcher yeah it;s the most clickety keyboard I've had yet. It's perfect. It's so absolutely perfect, the keys are pretty deep. I'ts also wireless so I can set up my drawing tablet however I want. I think I'm gonna write some longer piece but I don't even know what it should be about, lol.
Come to me, weary and scared, I'm gonna give you all some advice, I need some excuse for wrtiting
Been playing the heck out of Super Mario RPG. Got the Switch remake as a Christmas present and liking every minute of it. This is the first time I have the game as a physical copy, too... I never had it for the SNES and I first played it on the Wii Virtual Console.
@Sunsy Glad to hear you're enjoying Sonic Superstars. That's a game I want to get at some point. How does it compare to Sonic Mania? Because I did love that game.
That's cool. Christmas day was spent opening presents, and helping my mom make dinner. That'd be cool to see it again. Yeah, I'm pretty much the same way, I have my Christmas decorations up until mid-January or so. Since not only are the holidays over for now, but also, my birthday's on January.
Oh that's all right, it happens. I forgot to mention that Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker has a few train levels, too! Yoshi's Island is a fantastic game in general... it's one of my favorites from my childhood.
Yep that's right, Walt Disney World has a monorail that folks can go on, it goes by Epcot. I know they have those old-fashioned steam trains that you could ride, too... one of the locomotives there has Walt Disney's name right on her! (In case you're not aware, trains can be referred to as a she, just like with boats or ships.) You may remember that one scene in The Aristocats where Marie and the other two kittens would walk on the railroad tracks and pretend to be a train... so cute!
Lol, we're polar opposites in that regard! I don't blame you, RPGs can be a little daunting at first. Heck, they're still a little daunting for me... just look at how long they tend to be! At least the Mario RPGs tend to be shorter, about 20-30 hours or so. I did hear New Pokemon Snap is pretty good, that's another game I'd like to get since I did like the Nintendo 64 one.
Dang. Was that the only instance of you being matched up with a hacker? I only came across that one hacker in Mario Kart Wii once, most people I played with played legitimately. It's also the only time I came across a hacker, period.
That's awesome to hear, once again, glad to hear you're liking Superstars!
@MarioLover92 that's great, have fun packing the presents! I dont know how they smell yet, gotta buy them and burn them. Its probably gonna smell like a forest, its green and there are many fir trees in Moomin Valley
Thanks! I know it's a late reply, but I did wrap them all before Christmas. Everyone loved what I got them. Hope you had a nice holiday.
@MarioLover92 I like learning about many things, especially when it comes to puzzles, logic, and patterns/sequencing, which programming can provide in spades. But yeah, I'm VERY rusty when it comes to C++ lol. I picked up making animations somewhat well at the time, but I was never good with designing skin cubes and wraps for characters. We are never too old to learn, in fact we're learning all the time. Though I do think learning is easier and our brains are usually spongier when we're kids. I was practically raised on many Disney and early Pixar films, in fact many that you listed off are some of my favorites. I'd also add The Incredibles, The Emperor's New Groove, Oliver & Company, The Rescuers (both the original and Down Under), and the original Fantasia. I've seen many classic Disney films too, though I will confess I've never seen Mary Poppins or Peter Pan (though I know what happens in this film thanks to a Golden Book back in the day). I think that 101 Dalmations rerelease is why it jumped in popularity and is probably what I was raised on too! Same with the live action film with Glenn Close. It isn't quite as good as the animated version, but I still really enjoy it and thank it's one of the few good live action Disney adaptations. Not that I'm biased or anything.
I'm up for trying out many types of games in general, though I'm not as into standard card games. I can do Solitaire and Hearts and used to know how to play Blackjack, but that's about it. I really like the BeanBean Kingdom and hope Nintendo revisits it sometime should the M&L series ever be revived outside of remakes...not too likely with Alphadream's closure unless Nintendo hands over the reins to someone else though. The softlock I encountered in Partners In Time had to do with an earlier tutorial with the Hammer Bros with the babies. Details are here. Supposedly the North American version is buggier compared to other regions since it released first.
Yep, AC:NH can be a heck of a time sink. Not that I still don't play timesinks, but I'm very choosy about which ones these days. It's insane how well MK8D continues to sell, but that's the mark of a good, well-rounded game. Even crazier that it dethroned the original Super Mario Bros. I'm sure there will be a new Mario Kart within the next few years, but I do agree it'll show up for the system that follows the current Nintendo Switch.
@MarioLover92 No worries your way as well; as mentioned above, I too have been quite busy. I'm glad I was able to see your finished drawing! Love it.
Lol, yeah I'm very rusty when it comes to C++ as well. Been a while since I last done it. Yeah, I think C++ encourages creative thinking, especially if something goes wrong while you're writing your code. Ah yeah that's a good point you made about how learning is easier when we were kids... I guess it depends on what generation you grew up in as well. I'm a bit better with using PCs than using smartphones and tablets, for example, since I've used Windows since I was very young. I've used Macs a decent amount of times too, but I've always been more exposed to Windows.
That's awesome, Disney's made quite an impact on both of our childhoods, and many others, huh? I've seen a few of those movies you've mentioned (Oliver & Company and The Rescuers - the original one), though that was a long time ago. I heard Down Under is really good, I've not seen that one. Mary Poppins is a great movie, I've seen the whole movie with my mom earlier this year and we both loved it. I've not seen its sequel, though. I've also seen Peter Pan a long, long time ago... I still remember a few parts of it. Nice... I've not seen the live-action version, but did know of its presence thanks to a preview in that Toy Story VHS we had.
That's good to hear. I can play those two as well, been familiar with them since they came bundled with Windows. I've never played Blackjack. Ah yeah, it blows that AlphaDream is no longer with us... I wonder if Nintendo themselves, or a second-party studio would be able to continue the Mario & Luigi series? Ah gotcha, I don't recall coming across any glitches or softlocks when I played Partners in Time. Guess I got a bit lucky, lol.
I wonder what's next for the Mario Kart series... I'm definitely interested in seeing what Nintendo will do next. It might be tough to really top 8 Deluxe, given that the game now has a whopping 96 courses. We still have yet to see an adventure mode of some kind... perhaps that would be a replacement for the Grand Prix mode from the other games? We've seen an adventure mode in both Diddy Kong Racing and Crash Team Racing. They could have missions in a Mario Kart adventure mode too, Mario Kart DS had a mission mode and that was pretty fun.
So glad you loved my drawing! I'm very happy with how it turned out. I wonder what I should draw next?
Starting New Year's Day, I'll be using the forums solely to post my art, no more getting into constant fights.
"Constant fights?" I'm curious... have people on Nintendo Life actually tried arguing with you? I still don't recall seeing you get into any heated debates, sure I did reply to a few of your posts, but I never tried starting an argument. I do know that the comment sections in NL's articles tend to get very heated.
Also...
I have spent $50.53 eshop fund for the heavily discounted eshop games, especially the $1.99 games and I found some of those games are rubbish.
I deleted them right away after played them for several minutes.
But I still have more purchased eshop games that I thought they still have potential to play.
@Sunsy Glad you had a decent Christmas! Sounds like it was low-key, which is honestly how I'd like to spend mine. I usually have a lot of family stuff the day of though and am not home at all that day. Christmas Eve has become a little more chill in recent years though. It used to be almost as bad.
Another not very prone to dysentery in an old historical sim game lol. Glad you're having fun with that Trolls game, same with Sonic Superstars.
@MarioLover92 Glad you're having a great time with Super Mario RPG! As for your next drawing....Maybe something with a New Year's or winter theme?
Something going wrong when programming is an inevitability. We just get better at avoiding those problems lol. If someone says they've never made a mistake, either they're lying or have followed a risk-free recreation guide in steps. Whether or not you grew up with easy access to a certain technology does factor in. I'm pretty adept at PCs and smartphones, less so with tablets....They're basically larger phones or less adept PCs. I'd rather have one or the other instead of some awkward in-between. A phone satisfies all my tablet needs. More intense stuff out of email checking and web surfing requires a halfway decent machine anyway.
Disney properties can be very impactful. I recommend watching The Rescuers Down Under when you get the chance, in fact that's the first of the two I watched. I recommend the live 101 Dalmatians movie too. I might factor in Mary Poppins at some point, though I admit the visuals weirded me out a bit as a kid lol. By then I was used to stuff being worked all live action or cartoony, nothing really in-between.
I sorta hope Super Mario RPG is a way Nintendo is using to vet interest in more traditional RPGs for Mario again...though I'll admit this is wishful thinking. I hope AlphaDream's former employees found good job positions at least. Their closure is still sad, though not very unexpected. The worst part with that soft lock was I couldn't discover what was up for a little while since I was on a plane without wifi at the time (unless I paid). Thankfully I resolved the issue on my own but reloading from the last save point.
I agree Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will be hard to top, both from my own impressions and other feedback online. I would like a bona fide adventure or story mode in the next game, something that motivates me to keep going. I think that's why Dragon Quest Builders 2 has clicked much more for me than Minecraft ever did since it has a story to push the player along. I'd settle for a mission mode as long as they're interesting.

@MarioLover92 yeah, Christmas was great. The presents were spot on and we watched some movies, along with MArio Movie (by my initiative) and I had a fantastic time!
@Moffo I think the Pigeotto just works for the social protection services and they relegated the custody over your Magikarp, it's happy in another place and grateful that you took care of it until now.
Guys isn't PS5 a scam? I just realized, they have like 3 exclusives worth playing? Ratchet, Wipeout Omega Collection and 1 more game that I can't remember now so Im making a free slot. Also, expensive gamepass with no games to play. It's really weird.
@NeonPizza I've yet to play DKC Returns myself (got it in the backlog ready to go for next year) but I doubt that the mandatory waggle will be much of an issue for me personally as I quite literally grew up on games that forced me to play in unconventional ways between the Wii and DS/3DS. If anything, I find an average, modern-day controller like those for the Switch/PS4/Xbox One to be a bit more awkward to use due to the pure childhood muscle memory I developed in my early years XD
I can definitely see why it'd be a deal-breaker though and wholly understand why you weren't able to click with DKCR as a result 👍

@IceDomino yeah, they are getting more and more expensive, more money for less value. That's a big issue in itself. I got the best gamepass for PS5 before it became ludicrously expensive and I decided I need to play some more games for it. There were many games I wanted to try and I endedn up leaving them because they were not up to my standard. The PS+ is... empty, honestly. Just came back from 1h trial session of I am Setsuna and I think I dozed off somewhere along the way because the story was apparently written by a chat gpt. Echochrome is the only bad game of Japan Studio (it's annoying that it doesn't work well). Omega Quintet is as bad as a western AAA.
@Snatcher yeah it;s the most clickety keyboard I've had yet. It's perfect. It's so absolutely perfect, the keys are pretty deep. I'ts also wireless so I can set up my drawing tablet however I want. I think I'm gonna write some longer piece but I don't even know what it should be about, lol.

You could write character bios along with backstory’s with the characters you draw!
Nintendo are like woman, You love them for whats on the inside, not the outside…you know what I mean! Luzlane best girl!
(My friend code is SW-7322-1645-6323, please ask me before you use it)
@Princess_Lilly Wait, I am Setsuna was written by AI? They're doing that already?
Also, yeah, haven't bothered even trying to get a PS5 because pretty much its whole library is also on PS4 and I'm not really that interested in most Sony games. Kinda interested in getting a Steam Deck when I have more disposable income though.

@TeaCatherine no, sorry, that was an overexaggeration. It's just that Setsuna is very mediocre when it comes to writing and gameplay, and its tropes are just a copy of FFX (and apparently DQ4. Don't know about that but I had a feeling it's a FFX ripoff before I read that it copies both games so Im gonna assume it's true).
Steam Deck sounds great, there are lots of very nice games on steam. What would you want to play on it?
@Princess_Lilly Eh, not sure. Yakuza probably, Half-Life, some indies probably. If I had time I could come up with a massive list. Ah, right I thought I would have heard more about it if they had used an AI, but it does sound like a Square Enix thing to do to be honest.
