@D-Star92 I’m still surprised they didn’t mention the new Rhythm Heaven in the September Direct, but I assume they might talk about it if they don’t skip a February Direct next year. Yes, I still want to use some detail, but I just think a more detailed art style isn’t feasible for me right now. I’ve heard some artists say they had to simplify their style to make it easier with their time schedules!
I think I have gone on merry-go-rounds before but it’s been a long time since! In fact, it’s been a while since I last went on a ride at all, but I still remember rides being super fun. Yeah, I also forgot roller coasters are fast, I haven’t really gone on any fast rides before, but I can’t imagine how strange and kind of scary it would feel going on a ride set at a speed I’m not used to.
Yes, I find a lot of platformer games are balanced well in terms of length, especially older ones, so I like those a lot. Playing a lot of oldies? That’s good to hear! Nothing beats older games, I never tried the original Luigi’s Mansion, but I have played Dark Moon on the 3DS before and I really liked it from what I remember. Now that I’m thinking about it, I never really tried out the Game Boy titles on the Switch. I spent most of my time playing SNES and N64 games when I used to have the Expansion Pack.
Microtransactions and grinding soured the experience later on…got sick of upgrades being locked behind a high amount of diamonds and matched with players who finished the game and had all upgrades. All characters have unique perks, but the first few have weaker abilities. It’s the final two base game characters and all three premium characters who have stronger abilities…and I have none of them. You get diamonds through defeating each boss and achievements, but it’s so little, I think around 1-2 diamonds, which isn’t enough for later upgrades and purchasing premium characters. It was easy for the first two bosses, but the third was awful since he keeps moving from front to back and has two extremely annoying gimmicks, but it probably isn’t as bad as the final boss, who, from what I saw in a video, flings rocks in rapid succession, throws bombs in-between shots and jumps on the screen to stab the player. Despite all that, it has fun gameplay and I find it interesting how they incorporated gyro controls, but microtransactions and match-ups ruin it. Oh, so it was fine at first and didn’t have microtransactions but they added them later? That does sound super sneaky, but at least it’s good to hear it doesn’t get in the way of playing compared to that HTF game…
I see, I can imagine how much fun the Switch 2 is! Just choose to play it when you feel like it.
Yeah I don’t really check NL daily a lot anymore. Kinda have nothing significant to say or contribute or any good topic starters but oh well. I haven’t been playing any Nintendo games for a good while actually.

Finally uploaded my very first YouTube short! Just a lazy reel that I made on Instagram, downloaded to my phone, and then copied to YouTube. Very lazy, lol 🤣.
My top 5 favorite games:
1: Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1
2: Pokémon Violet
3: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
4: The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening (2019)
5: Animal Crossing New Horizons
Wish this thread was more active, but I also don’t really have anything significant to say! Also, I reread a couple of my old responses to other threads and gosh, I kind of did not realize how cringy and so strange they were. I kind of dislike the songs I commented on that music thread…
@Mariotag It’s been too long so I can’t remember what the topic was. I really don’t know any other interesting topics for this thread actually…
@Pastellioli I've really fallen out of commenting here ever since it started being more "essay-like" in nature. That's fine for plenty of folks, but when I joined it was a lot more snappy and spontaneous - sort of like IRL convos haha! Even my message here would be considered long!
Yeah. Sideways is nice. I still can't imagine playing console games with naught but touch controls though.
Talk about now former friend who chose mute and block over a trivial resolution, potentially having moved out of state just to avoid trying to talk with me...:
I'm actually pretty angry with him. Yeah, I'll never know. On top of which, the mutual we shared is now visibly anxious around me, I pretty much wrote my remaining time to play TriForce Heroes down to playing with him, and he was the last available person I could just go visit and play games with in my area. It's had a chain effect that's undeniable, and I'm angry that he valued my friendship so little, and caused damage on top of that, though I feel I've no right to be angry. Btw, slightly less than ten years.
Talk of Xbox One Repair:
I barely saved my console apparently. HDD was going bad.
Hollow Knight talk (have finished the game since):
Hollow Knight is brutal. The 42 bosses are one of the ultimate challenges. I need to finish it for a trophy, and missable ending. I'm working on games steadily.
(Yes, I got competent internet, and if I can relearn the characters you spoke of, might be able to play them)
Might get better internet soon.
(Added to this...)
Forgot, but this is a meme in a discord chat lol.
"Long-term effects from use of the block button include severe damage to the heart, liver and kidneys. Users are more likely to have infectious diseases. Continued daily use causes sleep deprivation and loss of appetite, resulting in malnutrition. The block button also can cause aggressive and paranoid behavior." -Michael
Ig this sums up what we were talking about then?
Needs to be trimmed down again, but it's last I recall.
People on the last page were saying something about not having much to talk about on this thread lately, so I've got a conversation starter: what did y'all have for lunch today (or did you skip lunch)?
I'll start: I had oven cooked frozen corn dogs, and grapes, and for my beverage I had sweet tea. For lunchtime TV, I watched an episode of an anime called Hayate the Combat Butler.

@CaleBoi25 I write a lot of my responses essay-like haha, sorry! I ramble a ton when I talk on here and I usually like describing stuff, though I message way less because I don’t really have anything to say and can’t really join in on Switch 2 conversations. Maybe I’ll just need to shorten my responses and make them snappy…

@Pastellioli I totally forgot to send you my watercolor art lol! I could only find these two, they are a sushi platter and a cuttlefish, respectively. I entered both in a contest - the Sushi placed fifth! Sadly, my Cuttlefish didn't care so well; the competition was much steeper that year.

@CaleBoi25 They are pretty good! I’m pretty terrible at watercolor compared to dry material, you did a fantastic job! I really like the coloring on the chopsticks in the sushi painting, it also kind of looks like there’s lighting on it, especially the red parts of the chopsticks, and I also like how the darker orange stripes on the cuttlefish pop on top of the lighter orange! Again, really good paintings!
