@Sunsy
Oh, never knew if Pinocchio cartoon version have idea of ending like that before got switched.
Btw, I felt Disney live action movies start to going downhill a lot since Lion King live action which felt soulless despite replicated almost 1:1 of the storyline, Mulan 2020 was totally different and not satisfying from I heard (I didn't watch since it was beginning of pandemic), Pinocchio 2022 was disappointing after I found from YouTube, Little Mermaid 2023 also disappointing with worse performance of Ursula and the unnecessary changes, Mufasa 2024 was boring, Snow White 2025 was absolutely disaster, Lilo & Stitch 2025 was also disappointing.
Other Disney movies like WISH was disappointing too with predictable storyline plot and forgettable songs model.
I wonder if ELIO 2025 by Disney Pixar can impress me than the disappointing Disney live action movies.
The movies that really made me WOW during 2020's era were from non Disney movies such as Paw Patrol Mighty Movie, Super Mario Bros movie 2023, Trolls 3 Band Together, Transformers One, WICKED part 1.
Btw, speaking about Lilo & Stitch, I found on YouTube the series and the anime version which Stitch + Jumba + Pleakley live with young girl named Yuna with same villain shenanigans Captain Gantu + Hamsterville + Ruben (Experiment 625).
You can watch them for FREE and the series adaptation & anime series looked way much better and enjoy to watch than the live action version.
Pleakley in anime version still iconic with crossdressing fashion, something that absent in live action version.
@Anti-Matter Yeah, it was a deleted scene from the 1940 movie they used for the 2022 ending. I remember being surprised when watching since I knew exactly what they were doing. The new ending probably got overlooked by many unless they watched the special features of the Pinocchio 2009 DVD.
If I'm being honest, I haven't been big on Disney's live action remakes, seen a few of them, but enjoyed Lilo & Stitch the most. Most of the time, they didn't really appeal to me. Kind of helps I'm more into animation.
Might have to wait to see Elio, right now I'm excited for Smurfs being a Smurfs fan.
A lot of other animation studios have been making some really good animated movies. There's more studios outside Disney for animation and movies. Paw Patrol and Transformers are from Paramount, Trolls is DreamWorks (they have a lot of movies, not just Trolls), and Mario is Illumination (famous for Minions, but they've done other movies).
I was reading about that the other day, I never knew Stitch had an anime. More amusing, I found a Stitch manga awhile back when I was out shopping one time. I regret not picking it up, would have made for an odd and fun piece to read.
Edit: Forgot to mention Wish. I saw Wish back in November, honestly, I felt a bit disappointed. I came out of the movie without a new character to like. Not once did I feel "yeah, Asha, she's my new favorite Disney character." I didn't feel anything for the character to make me like her, or feel for her struggle.
@Sunsy Likewise on nostalgia, I normally think about stuff from my childhood. I remember you told me about how you saw Trolls Band Together early, it's nice you got to see it with other Trolls fans. I liked that video you showed me, it's cool they made a Trolls version of that Regal coaster. Actually, I had a similar experience. I still remember when I preordered Mario Kart 8 (the original Wii U version) on Amazon, and it came in the mail the day before its release date. It was pretty exciting, honestly... went ahead and played every track, and even its online had people playing. All on the day before it was meant to come out! I got lucky there. Honestly, that was a nice memory for me. Especially since I've been going through a difficult time emotionally during the early 2010s.

Ask if you want to be Switch friends with me, but I'd like to know you first. Thanks! ❤️
@Pastellioli The outage extends to more than just Switch 2 in Gamestop's case. On the 27th, an order I made was canceled with no input from me. Walmart worked for me though.
It'll be interesting to see for sure!
I don't understand the whole percentage thing. Also, it wasn't that I couldn't have finished the game. I was just burned out. My medals and keyblades were up to date, and quite overpowered. Actually, what were you using the jewels on then?
It's truly frustrating what that game was reduced to.
Fanbases aren't all that get twisted when they get too big. Or rather, that doesn't just apply to fanbases. But that's a topic I don't think I can discuss here. (Politics)
Smash is notable as the massive success it has been. People really wanted their faves in. As for DLC characters, I still play an OG Smash 64 character, and it's insane how every notable advantage that character had is now commonplace among newer fighters. Notably interesting about the likes of Twitter btw, your experience largely depended on what you follow, and what pops up everywhere. For me these days, I just see art. Haven't seen game dev posts in a while tho....
I've never been very tolerant to the heat tbh.
Yeah. IMO, it's a really bad move on Nintendo's part, going against their goals, and causing unneeded grief. What will ppl turn to when their $450 system they shelled out for becomes a brick because of one lousy game? Probably piracy and emulators. Customer service can only do so much, even when people are on the line, as I discovered with Gamestop. Each employee is only given so much they can do....
Yesterday, I was going to bed at 9am lmao.
I don't completely get it. In the case of the two local ppl, I can be a bit pushy. But that still doesn't rationally explain how I "creeped out" one of them. Pressuring for communication can't have helped too much, but I view it as necessary. You expect me to sit there, clueless, and not be incredibly uncomfy and impatient as you proceed to ignore me over seemingly nothing? But it's okay for you to say nothing cause it makes you uncomfortable..
One possibility is the guy thought I wanted some kind of relationship with him when I said we should get together if he was lonely...But that doesn't totally make sense either!
@Anti-Matter@Sunsy
I've not bothered with Disney movies in a while.
Interesting to know the movie that gave me nightmares as a kid had an interesting twist idea like that at one point.
I never actually got into Lilo and Stitch, but might have to watch the movies in order, and the cartoon, before ending with the anime. Which, I saw a video about it, and relation to the live action movie..
Interestingly, the trailer for the Snow White LA was the first time in ages I was intrigued for a Disney movie. Only to find out it's AI generated slop.
@MarioVillager92 Indeed, that's what I think of when feeling nostalgic. Yeah, I've been thinking about that trip to see Trolls Band Together early, and it's all been on my mind, just how it felt like my favorite on top of the world and was everywhere. It is cool, I don't have a Regal near me, so I'm glad they posted that promo online on their YouTube channel. AMC's promotions was the popcorn bucket and drink cups and a fan event (you got some goodies with the movie ticket, like an inflatable microphone, a Trolls Mineez figure, lanyard with a 3D pic of the movie's poster, and a free ICEE).
Really cool that Mario Kart 8 arrived early and had people playing online already. Whenever I pre-ordered games online they always came a day after release. I do remember downloading Pokemon Blue on 3DS at midnight, never actually been to an actual midnight launch though.
@Mariotag I do enjoy Disney stuff, if I'm honest, I have not been big on Disney's live action remakes. I've seen a few, haven't been big on them. However, I loved Lilo & Stitch. The animated one is better, but the live action remake wasn't bad.
Personally, I wouldn't trust YouTube movie reviews in general. They'll always say how bad a movie is, when I get around to watching it, the movie ends up not being bad. There was a guy on YouTube calling Trolls "terrible," yet I consider the movie to be great and love it (if my profile picture didn't hint that I love this series). The reviewer's issue was that the movie was a jukebox musical, he didn't like jukebox musicals and complained every time the characters sang or dance, something the characters are suppose to do.
Does not make the movie "bad," it just means the movie did not appeal to him personally since he didn't like jukebox musicals. I highly doubt DreamWorks intentionally makes "terrible" movies, they usually do a great job with their presentation.
Often times I see a YouTube review, it's just a summary of the movie with complaining about things that the movie is suppose to have in it. Animated movie reviews on YouTube usually aren't great or informative because of it.
From what I heard, the Lilo and Stitch remake is like 70% identical to the animation, 15% changes people liked, and 15% changes people REALLY disliked.
Apparently removing Gantu, making Jumba actually evil, and ending with Nani leaving Lilo under foster care are the main sticking points with critics.
@Eel I've seen the movie, and saw the changes they made to it.
Actual spoiler stuff, so don't read if you plan to see the movie, or don't mind it being spoiled. The biggest change was that Nani in the end decided to let Lilo live with the neighbor while she goes to college to try and get a better job to better support Lilo. A lot have hated this outcome, claiming "Ohana means nothing." However, the credits scene reveals that Nani kept the portal gun Jumba had, and she could visit Lilo at any time, thus the sisters are still together. It'd be no difference than Nani going away to work, but being with Lilo any other time if you ask me.
Yes, there was a portal gun, and it operated similarly to the one in the game Portal, lol.
@Sunsy haha I’ve seen my fair share of spoilers already
The nearest cinema is over 200KM away from me so it’s not like I’ll be seeing the movie any time soon (and it’s not like the movie is 100% new and unknown), so I don’t mind.
Good morning.
It's 1 June 2025 here.
Also, it's my 1st anniversary of PS5 machine purchase day. 😄
It was 1 year ago I bought PS5 Fat machine and I really enjoyed my PS5 games & some PS4 games that got performance boost on PS5 machine.
PS5 is my biggest hype currently and I got some hype back with my Switch 1 games as I felt way less impressed by Switch 2. That's why I keep watching over the situation of Switch 2, keep my expectations very very low and expecting possibilities goes wrong.
@Mariotag I guess that for that specific GameStop, people were also buying a lot of their gaming stuff amidst the Switch 2 pre-orders? Strange that they cancelled an order you made unrelated to that, but I’m going to assume they maybe didn’t have full stock for some items.
I still wonder why the percentage was so slow when progressing, even when near the end of the game, but who knows. I mostly used Jewels so that I could continue playing harder levels, and used them to draw Medals, but I’m going to admit that I kind of stopped drawing Medals near the end and solely focused my attention to, I think five specific ones and the Starlight Keyblade, which I’ll admit is probably what resulted in me not being strong enough for the later levels and getting stuck right near the end. It’s funny that bad habit dragged onto some other games I played later, like Genshin, where I just focused on the main four characters and rarely drew new and stronger characters to help me progress. Yeah, it’s maybe the worst way I’ve seen an offline version of a game be handled, just removing all progress and gameplay from the main aspect and reducing it to a cutscene viewer, and then keeping gameplay for Dark Road, the most yawn-inducing part of the game for me gameplay-wise.
I can definitely get people being very passionate about the characters they enjoy and wanting them to have a shot in Smash, especially with how characters thought to be impossible to get in Smash actually making the cut. But, I sometimes came across people getting angry at others for the characters they wanted, I recall someone online wanted one of the Pokémon Sword and Shield starters as DLC and all I saw was that person getting hated on for that, but that was on Twitter, which is infamous for its negativity and how harmless posts precede to escalate in strange ways, and that, combined with how some people got toxic when it came to Smash speculation, it was just bad, though I think Nintendo Twitter was also negative in general, from what I saw when Twitter’s web version was still usable. Yeah, I think a lot of people find that a majority of the DLC characters have significant advantages against most of the base roster, and especially characters apart of the OG Smash 64 roster. But, I think the only DLC characters I’ve seen complaints for is Banjo, Hero, maybe Byleth, Min Min and Steve, but I can’t really comment on Min Min since I’ve never played her before, but I know Banjo’s complaints are from his moveset being campy and spammy, and Hero’s from RNG with most of his attacks.
Still on the topic of gaming Twitter, I remember this bizarre moment when I was going around on the Smash side of Twitter. There was a YouTuber who made a tweet saying he found it strange that the Luminary variant of Hero was the only variant that got an amiibo and he included a mock-up showing four different Hero amiibos. Then I curiously read the comments, and I can’t remember how it started, but two users got into an argument over Byleth being in the roster (since lots of people think FE has too many characters in Smash and have little differentiation) and then, some gimmick account came out of nowhere in the argument and made an unfunny and offensive joke about a real-life tragedy, and all I remember after was the original poster and the people arguing basically going “what the heck dude?” I’m kind of glad that they made the web version of Twitter unusable, because I can’t imagine how increasingly worse the site became over the years, but it sounded like it was already getting worse in 2019-2020 from what some users said. I usually used the web version of Twitter to look at gaming stuff but also art and movie-related stuff, though I was usually recommended those whenever I looked at Nintendo content.
Everyone sees summer as the month of fun and free time, but I see it as the month of sweating and heat! Again, I always dread it every time the new year starts.
Yeah, actually I’m realizing it now but I just realized that with a lot of the Switch user base transferring their data over to the Switch 2 and the enforced Terms of Service, you could potentially say goodbye to years of game progress and account data even if you make a genuine mistake, which makes the thing sound more worrying and stressful, really does mean everyone owning a Switch 2 has to be extra extra careful now compared to the first.
I can absolutely get your feelings when it comes to not knowing the answer to something, for me it bugs me a lot when someone won’t tell me something and I can also be a bit pushy when wanting to know, also because it makes me a bit paranoid at times and I begin thinking of things that bother me, like thinking of a bunch of usually negative possibilities over the answer. Sorry about what’s been going on with your friends, it must bother you a bunch not knowing why one of them is ignoring you and still hasn’t told you why even after so long…
For those who don’t know, I love Tears of the Kingdom, and especially the character of Sonia. Well guess what? My current favorite game, Palia, has Sonia’s VA playing two of the characters!! (The characters in question are Hekla and Najuma, for those wondering.) I did not know this until today and it makes me love the game even more!
Bored so popping in and randomly saying hi, hoping everyone is having a good day or had a good day. It’s crazy that the Switch 2 is almost here…I won’t be having one for a while but I hope those that are will have fun with it this week! Hoping to hear good stuff about it and MKW.
I wonder what everyone’s been up to. I’ve just been playing Colorful Stage on my phone since somehow, my Xbox’s HDMI port broke and it’s unusable for now. I’ve been playing some songs in Colorful Stage on Master, mostly to challenge myself and for fun since I’m used to playing Expert, and I actually full combo’d some Master charts, including some I struggled with! Specifically, Yoidoreshirazu, ENVY BABY, Mischievous Function (or as its better known, Fukkireta), A Word, Hibikase, Piano x Forte x Scandal, and The Vampire. Though, I realized my hands get shaky when I play some Master charts, on top of my taps being a bit delayed…I think I just get extremely nervous with harder charts haha.

If you’re curious, the character in my PFP is Flaky from Happy Tree Friends.
Anybody else feeling a bit sad that the Switch generation is coming to an end? That's how I'm feeling. I guess it's because of how long the Switch been around, and how it's gotten a ton of great games over the years. Maybe I get too attached or something.
@Pastellioli Yeah, drawing can be a little involved, with how much detail you could add and everything. There's a bunch of different pencils you could use too, like 3B and HB. I do like drawing on my sketchbook sometimes for fun. It's nice doing fun things during the night... but then I would get too tired.
Oh that's cool your dad was huge into Michael Jackson and that his music has been iconic to you. I wouldn't hear his songs until quite a bit later though. I do like listening to music from the 80s and 90s too, since I've grown up with a dad who's always been huge into music.
Oh, is KHUX somehow connected to the whole storyline? If it is, that's pretty ridiculous. Since not everybody's into mobile games and stuff like that. I hope so too, some people might have missed out on some lore and other stuff.
Yeah definitely. There have been a few things about the Switch 2 that don't sit well with me, but bringing over the NSO retro game apps - soon to be known as the Nintendo Classics apps - without starting over, was a good move on Nintendo's end. Yeah, I did notice Banjo-Tooie is a bit darker than its predecessor... I don't mind that so much, but I do prefer things being more cheery and stuff. I remember Tooie's first-person shooter segments, those can take some getting used to. There was a boss fight in that FPS viewpoint that gave me some trouble, and I especially remember the area in Glitter Gulch Mine where you'd try to find all the dynamite and deactivate them... that took me quite a few tries! Ah yeah, I've raced Canary Mary in Glitter Gulch Mine, the one where you're on a handcar, and as I mentioned before, it's pretty terrible with how much you have to button mash. I can already imagine how much worse that later race is.
Yeah definitely, I think when I get a Switch 2, I'll just do it the old-fashioned way, just transfer from one system to the next. That seems to be the safer option. Oh, I forgot about another detail. If you pick "I don't have a Nintendo Switch 2 yet," you'll also have to deal with a deadline to get your Switch 2, and download the transfer data that's left over. That deadline would last for a year, and if it's past the deadline, your transfer data gets deleted. It is plenty of time, but that would be incredibly depressing if that were to happen, alongside your Switch having to be formatted. So generally, I would not recommend that option unless you're trading in your Switch for a Switch 2, or some other similar scenario, as long as you know for sure you're getting a Switch 2 within a year upon doing the server transfer.
Yeah, it's a big reason why I like Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom so much. I did hear that outside of some technical issues, Scarlet and Violet are pretty good. I just saw they'll be running in 60 FPS on Switch 2... I think if I get even more into Legends Arceus, I might give Scarlet a shot, kinda want to play it on Switch 2. I have a few Pokemon games on my 3DS as well.
That's cool, I did see a few episodes of Happy Tree Friends a long time ago. I'm not too huge in the violence either, lol. On a somewhat related note, I'm not too huge in anything made for mature audiences. I don't like Grand Theft Auto for example, and I generally prefer my stuff to be more family-friendly. Those make me feel good, especially nowadays since I've been going through some troubling times.
Oh yeah I remember Enter the Gungeon, I've played it on PC a good while back. I didn't make too much progress in that game either, lol. Good to hear your HDMI port will get fixed soon.
Me personally, in Mario Kart, I like playing as a variety of different characters, mainly classic ones, haha. I tend to pick Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Toad, or Toadette. (Might be an unpopular opinion, but I don't like picking villains and I'd much rather be the good guys/gals.) Yeah I hope so too, if it does have a lot of content, that would probably make me feel a little better about the price. That $80 price tag stung me and many others pretty hard. Hoping to see Nintendo Life's review on the game, it should come out within a couple days.
@Sunsy I can't blame you, it's nice to remember such positive moments, like you getting to see Trolls Band Together early. I still remember when I got to see Frozen II in theaters, that was a nice memory for me... I have the movie on blu-ray as well. I like reminiscing on when I went to an amusement park, too. Not every ride appealed to me, but quite a few did, and I still had a lot of fun.
Yeah definitely, it was cool getting that game the day before it came out. I've not been to a midnight launch either. Oh, I just remembered! I've done a similar thing with New Super Mario Bros. 2 when that came out. I opted for a digital version since it would give 100 coins for Club Nintendo. I do remember downloading the game on midnight, as well.

Ask if you want to be Switch friends with me, but I'd like to know you first. Thanks! ❤️
@Pastellioli It was the website iirc. The local store actually did not sell out of Switch 2 preorders for quite a while. But the site was utterly devastated. I'm kinda angry, cause of how much the experience highlighted. Gamestop employees are not treated well, and more or less told they need to get a certain level of sales to stay in business. The customer support team was not permitted to do anything to help, and I got the impression they were trying to cover the issue up on a corporate level.
I don't understand the percentage either, but for that game, you really should have focused your jewels on medals and your other efforts on upgrading keyblades. You only start with 3 slots open out of 6 until you upgrade them after all... Any gacha demands progressively stronger characters and abilities afaik. And yeah. It was handled poorly.
Honestly, fair points. Twitter itself depended on where you looked. Smash became a game where, not only could any gaming character get in, but any majorly obscure character could potentially earn themselves a new main game too.
Omg wow. Yeah. FE in smash has a bunch of jokes associated. My personal favorite is "all the Marths". Cause look, you have Marth, you have Fire Marth, Buff Marth, Dragon Marth, etc etc.
I still use Twitter's web version. How was it made unusable?
Heat affects me a great deal more than it should, and is insufferable.
Yup. It's stupid. It's like they want more piracy, which is insane. I started noticing differences in Nintendo's practices when Switch launched. It really does hit hard. It's worth mentioning that, legally, consoles are only leased to you, and games only licensed....
Yup. It's an incredible anxiety inducer that has the opposite effect of what is intended. Ignoring someone is supposed to be a sign to "leave them alone", but to a person's mind, it moreso has the effect of "wtf happened?", drawing them in more than before...
I'm hoping to see at least one of them tomorrow in person. It'd be a small miracle for that to work out though.
@MarioVillager92 Yeah, I have been having a sort of dilemma as of late with my art style, and details…I’m thinking “do I want a detailed style, or a simplistic style?” I know not all art has to be detailed, but I love detailing it, but I’m trying to find a style that will work. I’ll keep trying to draw, but I won’t lie that I’ve been feeling demotivated as of late because of my art style dilemma and seeing other artwork for inspiration.
Yeah, Michael Jackson’s music has been apart of my life for a while, and his music is still one of my favorites, and lately I did hear some newer songs from his posthumous album Xscape. I’ve been listening to more modern and newer music, but I definitely need to find more 80s-90s songs, and other songs from artists I’ve been listening to lately.
Yes, also since KHUX is set before the entire series, but now it’s going to be used significantly more in the main storyline now, at least from what was shown in the KH4 trailer and the fact that the cancelled Missing Link game was going to be closely connected to KHUX. But, having it be a mobile game and closing it was a mistake since characters and plot points are going to likely be used in the new saga that their starting with KH4, and not everyone playing KH is into mobile games.
Yep, for years I’ve heard everyone wanting the next console to bring the Switch’s library back, and it did! Yes, Tooie’s darker, but I do understand people liking the more cheery tone of Kazooie and preferring it, though for me I didn’t mind it since the tone wasn’t overly dark, since the silly humor was retained. The 007 shooter segments were a bit difficult for me to get used to at first, especially with the navigating, and the one time I hated it was in a later world called Grunty Industries, which is maybe the worst level in the game in terms of difficulty and how convoluted it gets, but I still agree with the Glitter Gulch Mine shooter segment, I got super confused at first until I realized your supposed to hit the dynamite and not directly shoot at it or else the mine explodes. The races in the game are annoying, the first Canary Mary race was kind of bearable besides some of the mashing gameplay, but only because she’s easy to defeat at that part, it’s near the end the second race with her that’s even worse, and the developers were fully aware of how annoyed players got from the races that the next game, Nuts & Bolts, included a joke referencing it.
Yeah, wouldn’t want to do it any other way that’s risk save data being permanently lost! I never heard of the deadline transfer data part, that sounds crazy, and given the Switch 2 is probably going to be sold out frequently over the next few months from high demand and some people sticking to their OG Switch for a while instead, choosing that option doesn’t sound too good…
Yeah, I did like exploring quite a bit in BOTW, finding and discovering things was super exciting when I played it! And I did see a bit about Scarlet and Violet’s Switch 2 performance, it is good to hear that although it isn’t the complete greatest, it at least performs better than on the OG Switch. I still remember when those two came out, I saw so many videos showing plenty of performance issues and glitches. When I played I never encountered any glitches or poor performance maybe besides a few occasional but infrequent FPS drops.
Yeah, it was cool that despite being a comedy show, that it tried fleshing out one of if its characters and tried to start a series telling separate storylines for a few of its characters, but I definitely am not too into the violence, I only watched it because I was interested in the characters and the look of the show. I understand not being into M-rated games because I’m not into a lot of them besides Conker, which now that I think about it, that was the only M-rated game I played recently and was into, and the rest of the games I own are E or T-rated, I definitely get preferring happier and cheerful games!
That was a fun game, so I am hoping that I have fun with the shooting gameplay in the Crackpet Show when my Xbox’s HDMI port gets fixed soon.
In MK8D, I mostly played Tanooki Mario, but I also played as Peach sometimes and the crossover characters, but it was mostly Tanooki Mario. I rarely played as the antagonists or any other characters. I definitely think them eventually going the DLC route a little after the game’s release will likely happen, and I feel like that’s what they’ll do when it comes to possibly releasing more characters for the roster, because while I do like the bigger roster and them adding minor enemies and characters to the cast, some specific characters being no-shows makes it feel a bit incomplete. Yeah, I hope that the reviews on Switch 2 games are good, I definitely think I’ll hear a lot of positive buzz on a lot of them!
@Mariotag Yeah I think I heard and saw that almost everyone put in their pre-orders online, so the websites crashed or were slow. I have heard a bit from posts online that GameStop employees aren’t treated well unfortunately, and how some think GameStop is getting worse, at least internally and with how some of the higher-ups treat their employees, but also with the interactions some customers had when buying items.
Yeah, I think I should have done so, but I’m sure by the time the game was shutting down, I unfortunately spent a lot of Jewels up on trying to complete levels, so my Starlight Keyblade and a lot of my medals were under leveled and not up to it. If I did level up more of my other medals or drew for more stronger ones, I could have had a chance at completing the game before closing, because I had a large collection of unused medals, including some stronger ones.
Yeah, although Twitter is notorious for being negative, there seemed to be specific topics or sides of it that were more toxic than others, at least before the big buyout. The fact that any sort of gaming character could get into Smash is what absolutely made it exciting, on top of the fact that it helps renew interest in a specific character or series their from.
That was a bizarre conversation I stumbled upon, and it still bewilders me how it derailed into something completely unrelated. I have a feeling the account was trolling for attention, which is just dumb because the joke wasn’t even funny at all and completely unrelated to the original topic. Yeah I’ve seen that because FE has a lot of characters in Smash, there’s a lot of jokes
related to the fact that nearly all the characters are sword fighters or have blue-ish hair like Marth. I never had a problem with FE having a lot of characters in Smash though, but maybe because I don’t really care a lot about who gets into Smash or the characters they pick.
Whoops, what I meant to say was logged out. I remember using web Twitter without an account logged in and I was able to look at tweets and accounts, albeit not being able to interact or like them. Then when Twitter was bought out, they made it so you could no longer use the site logged out and could only use it if you made an account, so I stopped using it because of that. Though, I noticed that when I clicked links to some cited tweets on a few Wikipedia articles, it sent me to the web version of Twitter and I could look at the tweet even without an account logged in, but I can’t see replies or accounts.
I can see some of the ToS leading to piracy since they said that breaking the terms is permanently tied to an account and can get the console bricked, even if it was done unintentionally, like accidentally using a counterfeit or bootlegged game or accessory. I didn’t quite notice the change in their policies or practices until they introduced paid online and NSO, but I remember reading after the launch, that it was something they mentioned prior, so it’s likely something they planned for years.
That gets me wondering a lot about what happened, and I find myself getting extremely bothered if I don’t know what happened if someone is ignoring me or if I don’t know the context of something. It lingers in my mind all day, especially if it’s related to something serious and I’m out of the loop on it. But I have a feeling that could be my paranoia at play too. I have a bad tendency to overthink things and not stop once I’m thinking about it a lot.
If you do see one of your friends tomorrow, I wanna say good luck! Hoping that if you do that it goes well.

@Pastellioli Ah nice. You started watching HTF, it’s a good show, very heavy on references too. I saw it 15 years ago so I can’t remember much.
I’m not getting the switch 2 this month unfortunately. I need to actually calm down a bit on leisure spending cuz my non-leisure spending is just too much already and some bad irl stuff that happened a while ago costed me a huge penny. So Instead I’ll just relax this month and re-focus on my cooking hobby cuz cooking means I spend less money generally speaking. I cooked a ribeye today and tomorrow I’ll have a chicken thigh with spicy seasonings. Despite being a constantly hungry gal i ACTUALLY get full really fast which is nice! Give me a potato or any protein and I’m set.
I do wish I’ll get switch 2 eventually. I made a panic purchase for a secondary switch 1 a while ago cuz my previous switch 1’s L button broke and I do regret it Cuz I haven’t used my new S1 much at all so I feel I kinda wasted it and that’s what I meant by spending too much on gaming. But hey, some S2 games will PROBABLY be playable on S1 so it’s not hopeless. Sadly I won’t stop spending. I actually need to sub to game pass core to play street fighter 6 with my friends on discord. You know how it is. Hey, at least I get access to funny dark souls 1 messages!!
While things been fun irl, it hasn’t always been fun online. It’s been simultaneously kinda lonely and kinda stressful. I’ve been trying to re-unite with my friends on the NintendoLife discord server ran by Alex and his acquaintances but I haven’t really mustered the courage to break the ice cuz I’m just shy in general. Similarly, this March during Ramadan I was first exposed first hand to the horrors of being a forum moderator, now I fully sympathize with anyone who has the position! My heart goes to each and every one in any similar position of authority. I can expand more in Xbox dms though cuz sadly a lot of it is just silly drama talk that doesn’t belong on a jolly forum like this one and I prefer keeping things light when in a public conversation. You can ask me about it in Xbox chats though. But hey! It’s fun to help people so I don’t regret it one bit!
Gaming wise I guess I’ve been emulating some RPGs on my phone? RPGs are great on small devices! I’d especially recommend dragon quest, final fantasy and Megaman battlenetwork. As for irl I have some incredible news! I got a new car, a Mitsubishi ASX. My previous one was an Outlander, kind of a terrible car. Just bugged out all over on me. I hate when cars are all digital so my new ASX is just analog almost fully.
Also, Eid starts for us tomorrow which means to work for me Nya hahahaha! On top of that, my PTO starts on June 22nd so it’s almost like I have the whole month off haha!
But it gets better cuz I’m actually traveling to Bosnia this month! Heard it’s a beautiful country with tons of nice mountains so I’m really excited especially since I’ve never been to Europe!
The most thing I’m excited about with switch 2 is definitely playing WW and hopefully TP too. I can’t wait. There’s Yakuza too but I’m not too big on Yakuza anymore. I’d prefer gta any day personally.
