I was super excited when Mario Kart DS opened up online play. As a kid it was such a wild idea that I would be able to race against other people that were not my family members.
I had to get the WiFi USB adapter thingy. Then I figured out how to connect to my school’s WiFi. I remember it as being kind of spotty connection, but it was my first online game and it was so simple fun.
I’ve had this Luigitornado tag for years. I designed my own racing decal in MKDS of a green tornado with the Luigi L.
I was so proud of racing using it among the marijuana decals and hairy butts.
Still playing Pokémon. Taking my time filling out what I can of the dex before I beat it. I’ll admit it hasn’t been enjoyable all too much, mostly something mindless to do while watching YouTube.
@MostHandsieBoy I don’t think they’re horrible…just less exciting? I don’t know how to explain it. It’s like the climax isn’t fulfilling enough or something.
They’re an easy laid back watch. Something I’d associate with those basic kid shows that air on weekday mornings.
I think it’s because the stakes are a little more personal, and the characters are somewhat undercooked/unrelatabke making it hard to be invested in their story.
Onward really disappointed me for some reason. It felt like it could’ve been more fantastical. The dad pants thing was interesting as a concept, but I honestly stopped caring midway through the movie. I’ve seen the trope of reconnecting with a dead parent before and it’s so cheap. It’s cheap. It was cheap in Ghostbusters Afterlife, it was cheap in the Adam Project. All of us can sympathize with missing a dead relative, it’s just hard to relate to a character who’s character arc is resolved by reconciling directly with that relative.
I liked Soul though, still…def doesn’t reach the same height as the older movies.
Zootopia is the last (Disney) animated movie I really liked though, so it’s been a while.
I didn’t like the movie, and don’t know much about the red panda stuff outside of what the movie told us about it. It did seem similar to tanuki kind of, so I’m not suprised by the comparison.
I’ll use this as an excuse to complain how obnoxious the friends and the MC was. The voice acting gave me a headache by the end of the movie. So grating.
I spend quite a bit of time in each zone before moving on so I haven’t completed the story. I couldn’t even tell you what it’s about other than I dropped from the sky, and maybe other people did at on point, and some Pokémon are frenzied and I have to help them.
It’s okay. I’m waiting for the wall when I’ll put it down for something else.
@nocdaes I think the reason why it doesn’t is they don’t see it as franchise material or want to be bogged down with feeling they HAVE to make a sequel.
@Askalt I’m hoping for that too, but lot of RPGs on switch retain their high price at one point. Seems to be a window, and if you miss it you’re screwed.

Looks like gross shovelware that plagued the Wii.
Re: Watch A Full Match Of Mario Strikers: Battle League From Nintendo France
I’m cautious about this. I loved the one in GCN, but hated the Wii sequel.
Re: Random: Many At Retro Studios Weren't 'Excited' To Work On Mario Kart 7
@Chocobo_Shepherd
Could be the team had another passion project and were suddenly asked to stop and switch gears.
Such a thing can be discouraging.
Re: Random: Many At Retro Studios Weren't 'Excited' To Work On Mario Kart 7
Why does it feel like Retro is Nintendo’s black sheep?
Every single game they’ve made has been critically acclaimed. Some less than others, but all well received.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Collector's Edition Goodies To Ship At A "Later Date" (Europe)
@UltimateOtaku91 it’s been rumored the game has been complete for a while now.
It probably was. Collector rewards don’t signify any “rushing out.”

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Will Reveal Some Skin, Unsurprisingly
There’s dozens of video essays that discuss the problems with Xenoblade 2’s depiction of female characters. They’re interesting.
People can remain ignorant about how women are portrayed in media if they want.
Some of you all’s comments are ignorant to the point of being caricatures.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 23rd)
Hades. Game is pretty good.
Can’t imagine sinking all the time needed to see everything though. The 4 sets of levels are getting a little old
Re: Random: Euphoria Star Hunter Schafer Thinks It "Would Be Cool" To Play Princess Zelda In A Live-Action Movie
@BloodNinja
She doesn’t resemble the character to me. I don’t mind progressive casting, but this one is too left field. Nintendo wouldn’t do it anyway.

Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Producer On The Game's Popularity And Accessibility
They’ve done too much to make the game accessible. I don’t know. I liked how In some of the games you could dodge red shells by just drifting.

God I hate Musou type games.
Re: Feature: Mario Kart: Double Dash!! Is The Best Mario Kart, Right? Let's Find Out
I liked the gimmick and teaming up different racers. Also thought the drifting mechanic was the best here. Took skill, but wasn’t broken like MKDS.
Re: Random: Sonic Fans Are Going Crazy About A Mystery Character With Pink Hair
I don’t understand how Sega keeps these people engaged with the Sonic franchise.
I liked the movie that came out, but tbh I always thought the games were awful. Evey time I pick them up I have to force myself to finish them.
So I’ve stopped buying them some time ago.

Animation was good though.

No but RPGs after this for me for a while.
Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 14.0.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Why don’t they have this feature at launch? Seriously. It was a late update on Wii, 3DS, and Wii U. It’s comical.

I’ve liked all the FromSoftware games except DS2. Still going to wait on this for a while.
The difficulty isn’t even that bad in their games.
