Re: Random: Meet TinyTendo, The Handheld Console Made For NES, By NES

@twztid13 It says in the tweet that it’s the same size as the OG Game Boy. I assume it just uses roms but uses original hardware to run them. Edit: I looked at his replies and he says he uses custom mini carts he made, probably miniaturized the same was as the console. He also says he could use normal carts through an adapter.

Re: Feature: Games That Got Us Through Tough Times

I would say mine is probably Persona 4 on Vita. I wasn’t in as bad of a spot as most of the other commenters, but I had just moved from the place I’d lived my entire life and I had no friends. I was extremely angry all the time (also probably because I was 13 and it was the beginning of Covid). Persona 4 gave me characters written so well, it felt like they were real people. I couldn’t put the game down, I loved every single character and social link. All the while, the calendar system showed me just how long I had until the end. I rarely cry at media, but I didn’t stop crying for a good 30 minutes after finishing it. Then I realized I didn’t get the true ending, so I reloaded my save and finished the boss. Of course, I cried again lol.

@Anti-Matter Yes, we know you only like kiddie games with shirtless boxers with six packs. You remind us every time there’s an article you don’t care about. Unfortunately, this site isn’t written specifically for your tastes, so to make things easier for yourself and everyone else, you could instead only comment on articles that you actually care about. Just a suggestion.

Re: Reggie Fils-Aimé Criticises GameStop Management's Lack Of "Articulated" Strategy

Goat_FromBOTW

The main issues with GameStop are A: The staff are trained to never shut up about pre-orders, the membership card, and games you don’t want. This isn’t an isolated issue, I’ve been in GameStops from Indiana, to LA, to Palm Springs. Every single store has this. B: Their stock is confusing and inconsistent. Some stores sell Wii and DS games, others seemingly only sell PS4 and Switch games. Not the mention all the stupid anime T-shirts and pop figures they fill their stores with. Trash that, use the space for a better selection of games.

Re: Random: Circus Pilgrims Played Megalovania To The Pope And Revived A 6-Year-Old Undertale Meme

It is very annoying to see all these 30 year olds trying to live life as permanent teenagers, and not having kids simply because they’re lazy and don’t want the responsibility. I’m 15 and live in LA, sometimes I feel like I’m more mature than my neighbors lol

Edit: There’s nothing wrong with being an adult and gaming/enjoying “kid” stuff. My parents enjoyed Spider-Man just as much as I did, and we talk about Disney parks all the time. I’m specifically criticizing adults acting like they’re 16 year olds.

Re: Poll: What's The Best Pokémon Game Ever?

Goat_FromBOTW

I haven’t played SoulSilver yet but I’m really excited to. Between SM and USUM, I honestly like SM more. The graphical changes, gameplay and postgame of USUM were great. But they totally botched the story. Stuff like Gladion leaving instead of Lillie, randomly not including the scene of her on the island (a very important character development moment), completely forgiving Lusamine for being an horrible, abusive mother and bad person and trying to make her a protagonist. They just ruined the story. But the Ultra Wormholes were fun.

Re: Review: Pokémon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl - A Middling Pair Of Remakes

@HeadPirate Grinding for two hours to beat Brock and another two hours to beat Misty with only about 30 minutes of story progress and 30 minutes of catching Pokémon is tedious and obnoxious, not difficult. I can’t begin to fathom why people are so obsessed with the Exp Share and how it “ruins the series”. Now I’m just catching Pokémon as fast as I can to try to get 50 and unlock the Exp Share. It’s not worth wasting my time grinding.

Re: Switch OLED Model Rates 2 Out Of 10 On Screen Durability Scratch Test

Goat_FromBOTW

The reason I even got an OLED was my launch day Switch was TRASHED. It overheated any time I turned it on, the fan was insanely loud. It got so hot that the whole thing warped and the vent cover got super brittle and snapped off. It was covered in scratches, the top screw fell out as a result of the console overheating and getting warped and brittle. And the screen was super scratched. Also the joy cons wobbled when attached to the switch and would slide off as a result of my little brother forcefully ripping them off instead of holding the button down and gently sliding off. That was in the early days of owning it however and he was like 7.

Re: 3DS System Update 11.15.0-47 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

@FluffiestP1llow Lol he needs to grow up even outside that. I started out thinking he was a great member of the community and respected his devotion to rhythm games but he’s worn on me massively. He’s a bizarre kind of Puritan towards violence in specific and tells everyone that anything not made for little children is “a poison that corrupts everything pure”. He’s in his late 30’s by the way. He literally won’t play some rhythm games because they feature songs from anime made for adults. He also said he was disgusted by Astros Playroom and will never touch it because it features a cameo from an adorable robot Kratos and other references to non E rated games. He pushes these beliefs aggressively onto everyone here, not to mention constantly flexing about how great he is for only playing games physically 100% the way Nintendo wants. Like, I understand wanting full ownership of your games and being a collector, but do you need to tell everybody EVERY SINGLE ARTICLE that has anything to do with digital games?

Edit: I got 3 likes at the end of a comment chain so it seems other people are fed up too.
