I'm sorry it was a "Thank God it's [blank]" opportunity.

I think it's ironic that I have finished Transformers Battlegrounds PS4 but still haven't finished Mario + Rabbids with same genre.

I'm not sure what this image has to do with anything, I thought we were just posting overdone meme images from media older than the majority of people who use them.

Wow, that arrived quick given it was sent from France. Ppl probably already seen screenshots to death but, here's what it looks like up close.

@Anti-Matter
I haven't finished Mario Rabbids either. Not sure why. So many great games released that distracted me in 2017. And... I think I spend half that year studying Japanese to play that import copy of Monster Hunter XX before the localization was announced.

It's so good though. I hear the DKC dlc doesn't disappoint, either.

@kkslider5552000 are you saying I'm 6 sir? I'm

@JaxonH Beautiful system. Is that lovely going to become your new main SWOLED, or will you be displaying it?

And yeah, M+R is fantastic. Very much a top tier Switch game, and one of the few I 100%ed and then restarted playing.

@JaxonH THAT GRADIENT.

Also, I highly implore you to go beat Mario+Rabbids. I'm not really into tactics games myself (it's probably one of the only genres I've yet to really penetrate) and even I loved the hell out of it. DK Adventure is a fantastic bit of DLC as well (that I've yet to beat as of now, should probably get on that before Sparks of Hope comes out 😅).

@Ralizah
Love the HD rumble in Mario Rabbids going into the pipes. So satisfying. Best part of the new game is full camera control though. That was a minor annoyance. Isometric 4 way worked, but... no reason not to just give full control.

I'm debating using it as the new main. Already put tempered glass on without any small micro hairs underneath (took a few attempts, but it's flawless now). Problem is, I like my Basstop d-pad modded joycon. Great for fighting games and 2D platformers in handheld and tabletop. Switching would require using these gorgeous joycon which unfortunately do not have a proper d-pad. 99% of the time it never matters anyways, but Idk, I just like knowing I can play any game without barriers or hindrances due to the d-pad. For that reason, it'll likely stay displayed. As much as I'd love to rock it.

@Fizza
I'm about half ways to 3 quarters through Mario Rabbids. I started playing again about a year ago and started raving in this thread about how good it was and how I'd forgotten how much I loved it. But still never finished.

I definitely intend to finish it, especially before embarking on the next entry. But this year is chock to the hilt. Finish Xenoblade 3, then back to Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak to finish that, then Splatoon 3, Nier Automata, Bayonetta 3, Persona 5 Royal, Harvestella, with Tactics Ogre, Diofield Chronicle, Trails from Zero, DQ Treasure, Pokémon and the new Mario Rabbids all likely going to backlog as there's not enough time for everything.

Hopefully 2023 gives us a breather in that first quarter to play some catch up. Mario Rabbids is definitely on the list. And the DK expansion. And obviously, the new game. I'll be trying it out right away. But don't wanna get too far into it without going back to finish up Kingdom Battle.

Raving you say?

@Kermit1
17.

Ya?

Infinite sum of (3/4)^n from 1 to infinity = 3, but add (3/4)^0 = 4.

Then x 2 = 8.

The integral is -cos from 0 to pi, or cos from pi to 0, which is cos(0) - cos(pi) = 1 - -1 = 2.

8 x 2 = 16. Add 1 = 17.

You can do math on this level at 17? I'm freaking amazed.

@JaxonH yes. one more year till freedom

@Kermit1
Think you'll find with freedom comes responsibility.

I remember being 16, getting my driver's license. Was so excited. Now driving is a chore lol. Then I was excited to hit 18. But with it came adult responsibilities. Then it was all about 21 and drinking. Later discovered I only wanted to go to bars because I wasn't allowed. As soon as I hit 21, it lost its allure.

Not to diminish your 18th birthday. It's definitely an exciting time. Just keep in mind adulthood, while amazing (so nice being able to work and buy whatever you want, etc), it's also when things will start changing as responsibility sets in.

When you're a kid all you dream about is being grown, and when you're grown all you dream about is being a kid again. Seems the grass is always greener 😀

@JaxonH Trust me I know about responsibility, I just need to overcome my mild anxiety first. I have an idea of what I'd like to become, a film maker (Director, Writer). To be honest I'm kinda scared to turn 18, even though I'm going to take a break year, the idea of being 2 years away from 20, adulthood, a job, college, friends. I'm going to take everything one step at a time, so I am very excited to continue to grow up and have an adventure.

I should also add from everything I know about drinking, I'll pass I don't like to feel anything icky in my throat.

To be fair, 17 is probably peak maths. I think the highest level of Maths I did was in first year CS when I was 18. Although arguably some of the stuff I did in High School when I was 16/17 was "higher". And being a developer I'm arguably in a profession that's pretty heavily maths adjacent

So yeah, I think the vast majority of people would be doing their most advanced maths at around 17. Especially for people who aren't going to get into hard sciences or engineering. And even for those people, 17 probably isn't far off

@skywake @JaxonH... I'm still on 9th grade maths... What can I say, I'm slow. lol

IMO early 20s is nice but you're kinda clueless but with this huge ego. Mid to late 20s, for me at least, was pretty volatile and not really a fun time.

Basically mid 20s while nice in theory you can also get the shock of falling into the real world and your ego is shattered. I'm sure some people fall on their feet in this period of their life. Most of those people probably end up being ****** for the rest of their lives

30s is where it's at. You have your stuff together by then and should know enough to know you know nothing

@skywake
At least here in the US, most ppl never get past Algebra, Geometry and maybe PreCalculus in high school unless they're gifted. And even then, the gifted students barely reach AP Calculus in 12th grade. And that's basically the equivalent of Calc 1 in college.

Thing is, the basic integral is Calc 1 level but the infinite summation is not something learned until Calc 2 when Infinite series are introduced.

So even the most gifted students who did AP Calc in high school and jumped straight into Calc 2 in college would still be 18 or 19 yrs old, and those ppl ate few in number as is.

But ya, I get what you mean about peak math at that age. It's just the level was beyond what any 17 yr old learns here.

edit
Also, agreed 30s is where it's at. 20s felt like an extended session of my teens. Didn't wanna give up the childish lifestyle.

I'm gonna replace my launch Switch with the Splatoon 3 OLED as my main.
I just need to get the SD card first so I can start downloading games.

I love the new integrated LAN-port on the dock.
