Re: Niantic Provides Context Behind Pokémon Go Community Day Changes

Corum

@Aezetz agreed, they should call it community time instead of community day for how short they make the window and I can’t remember the last time I used an incense. Seems like this move will only lose Niantic money.

Addition: thinking about it, Niantic must be hoping to increase the FOMO of the rare Pokémon. I’ve met some folks that have spent thousands and will do anything to “catch them all” with shiny perfect IV stats. Gonna give some people anxiety disorders.

Another addition: just spoke with my sister, she has spent several hundred on the game and I’ve talked with her in the past about it. She isn’t happy at all about this either but just trying to keep her from spending anymore on it. These mobile games can be a real (edit: money sink) for some people with that kind of addictive personality.

Re: Niantic Provides Context Behind Pokémon Go Community Day Changes

For me, it’s an exercise app number one, just something I boot up when I go for a walk/jog. I don’t really focus on catching anything, just push a button and it catches what it will. I’m pretty much a casual but have met some hardcore folks that these changes will not make happy (though a lot of those folks are retired older people so they will be there no matter what).

Re: Talking Point: How's Your Switch Holding Up After 5 Years?

Corum

Got my switch the day of release and still use the original grey joycons. The system works great, a lite crack in the back plate (top right corner) is there but plate is still attached. On start up the joycons have some drift but I wiggle them and that works the bugs out (the drift disappears and doesn’t come back until it sits awhile). I use a screen protector since day one so screen is great. Great bit of tech.

Re: Monster Hunter Movie's Chinese Premiere Reportedly Cancelled Due To Racist Joke

Corum

Jin Au-yeung character says “look at my knees” which he than follows up by asking a question “what kind of knees are these?” Jin Au-yeung character answers his own question by proclaiming “chi-knees”. Why is this not in the article? The actor doesn’t say dirty knees or Japanese, just a play on words chi-knees. Would be like someone asking where all the gerwomen are. A pun or joke, perhaps not a good one to some but that’s subjective.

Re: Random: Shigeru Miyamoto Used To Smoke In The Star Fox Office

Corum

It was the early 90’s in Japan. I’m surprised they only let him smoke there and didn’t have a smoking group. In United States (I’m sure many place around the world as well) in the early 90’s, nurses still could smoke cigarettes on the hospital floor and the med carts were equipped with ash trays. Wasn’t banned until 1993.

Re: New Screenshots Of Pokémon Unite Surface Online

Corum

@Araquanid I’ve played AoV in the past a bit and figured this would be like that. I’m no as familiar with the moba terminology but your saying this version won’t have a slayer and dragon type creature to slay? I’ve tried watching the video again But couldn’t tell. Also didn’t notice much of a jungle if any. Disappointed if this is the case and will have to pass. Don’t want a watered down experience.

Re: What Comes After Switch? Nintendo Discusses Plans For Future Game Consoles

Corum

Sounds like they are pretty happy with the switch and it’s versatility. Also, they emphasized having multiple iterations of the same console and being able to focus all their development power to that one console (so they aren’t going to try to juggle two different pieces of hardware at once). Just like they did with the Wii to Wii U, I’d wager they will rinse and repeat (of course adding an innovation or two) for their next console.

Re: Fan Turns Broken SNES Into A Working Switch Dock

Corum

@Heavyarms55 I agree, seems like all it needs is a few small rubber bumpers and that would do the trick. Since the switch’s screen is plastic, it seems like everything and anything you dock it to can scratch the dang thing and the only real way to help is a screen protector anyway. Love the NA snes for nostalgia reason and know this would look great in my rec room next to my childhood snes.

Re: The Pokémon Unite Presentation Has Already Been Disliked 150,000 Times

Corum

With how Tencent treated AoV on switch, I would say this game will be better supported on mobile and out side the initial release won’t be touched again on switch (all depending on how well it is received by mobile gamers, always possible to just flop). With it being a Tencent moba game and with the Pokémon name slapped on it, chances are this game will be successful. I enjoy AoV on mobile and if this game has a similar build, I’ll enjoy this one as well.

Re: Kirk Scott Leaves Nintendo Of America After Five Years

Corum

@johnvboy I don’t always agree with your video game opinions but I agree with you on this. Thank you for being a voice of reason the other day.
On topic: always liked kirks presentations, thought he did a great job and wish him the best going forward.

Re: Pokémon GO Stay-At-Home Changes Detailed, Remote Raid Pass, Field Research And More

Corum

At the core of the game is an exercise app. I’d say in some areas exercise apps are hurting for money (though I’d be surprised If go is truly hurting, probably just not making as much) so now they are adding even more remote play functions to the game, seems understandable that niantic would charge more for something that can be used off location to raid anywhere opposed to something that has to be used on site because when we find a stable way to combat covid sometime in the future, niantic are going to want to keep the core game as what it is, an exercise app.
