@Zeebor15 With the fact that it's a free to play game and those eventually die out with the passage of time, I guess that Epic decided to expand fortnite into some sort of metaverse-esque experience while it's still popular to increase it's longevity by allowing those who might not be into a battle royale a way to play with this game. It's a little funny how basically 8 entire full games are in here, but it's kind of genius
Regardless though, I don't think I'm personally touching fortnite for a while even with this stuff
“How big is your back-catalogue currently?”
“How often do you use the NSO specific-game icon feature?”
“What game do you have the most hours in?”
“What is the worst purchase you’ve made on the eShop?”
And maybe throw in “What color is your refrigerator?” for comedic effect
Just Mario Kart 7 due to the closure, but other than that I haven’t played any video games for the past 1-2 months like at all, how did I go from 1000 hours in Mario Maker to this 😭
Mario Kart 7 died at 7:02PM CST, I recorded the final hour of its life so it’s preserved. And currently Andre from GXP is in a MK8 lobby still 20 minutes after shutdown
I also heard from some reliable sources that Nintendo is planning on making another Amiibo Festival game for the Splatoon series, if I recall correctly
@Snatcher yes, some people use it for piracy, but they do not promote it at all (and if i recall correctly, even mentioning it will get you banned from their discord)
its used for things like playing games you already own legitimately on PC, playing your own dumped-ROMs, and sadly is also used to illegally steal games you do not own at all, so its like a 33.3% split
@Snatcher Yuzu is just an emulator, they don't distribute ROMs, so ideally to use it, you do the legal option of just dumping your own ROM with your own legal copy
@Anti-Matter Emulators aren't illegal as long as you don't use the keys like Dolphin did, so Yuzu and Citra are inherently fine.
Believe it or not, people actually do use emulators to play their own backed-up games, not everyone who uses them is a mustache-twirling villain set on stealing every single game released on switch without even buying a legit copy first
Yes, some people use the emulator to pirate games that literally just got released without ever paying for them, and those people need to be shamed because they are actually doing harm, but its not necessary to spread misinformation like "emulators are inherently illegal" and it's not necessary to generalize everyone who uses emulators as pirates.
@Pat_trick In this series, Knuckles may chuckle, but he may also ruckle a piece of fabric, or he could get and a car and buckle, or roll on truckles, or find a shoe that's muckle, and perhaps he could show some emotion but subtle, or maybe in a car he can take the shuttle, or use some energy to hustle, but at the end of the day, he is Knuckles

@Regulus6891 "Fortnite is already single-handedly responsible for killing the minds of a young gamer generation." Okay, this is an extreme reach.
You can not like fortnite (in-fact, I myself personally could care less for it), but acting like it killed a generation of gamers because a few bad apples addicted to it with behavior problems went viral online is not really valid.
I got back into Minecraft Java I forgot how amazing it was to explore an endless world where you can do anything on a multiplayer, pure vanilla server with other people.
Yes.
I had (TotK ending spoilers) the demon dragon final phase accidentally revealed to me before I got to the final boss, and it definitely did remove some shock factor of “Oh my gosh, he’s actually eating the stone?!”

This is unironically my favorite game ever, and it just got an overly hard bonus boss and fishing, so now it’s perfect-er

Re: Nintendo Fans Say Goodbye To 3DS And Wii U Online Play
I was able to say goodbye by recording the last hour and 15 minutes of Mario Kart 7, up until this message:

I also got 2nd place in the final GXP communtiy thing, I am content:

Edit: Andre made it to almost 2 hours!
Re: Random: BAFTA's 'Iconic Game Characters' Poll Has Us Scratching Our Heads
I feel like the actual proper list would be something like:
1. Mario
2. Sonic
3. PAC-MAN
4. Pikachu
5. Donkey Kong
6. Link
7. Master Chief
8. Lara Croft
9. Crash Bandicoot
10. Samus Aran
And honorable mentions: Ratchet & Clank, Kirby (might be replaceable with Samus), Kratos, etc
And if this list considered multiple characters from the same franchise, we’d obviously have multiple Mario/Sonic characters.
