Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 10.0.0 Is Now Live

@JaxonH You may wish to read these comments again, and more closely this time, because the first time anybody suggested that your opinion meant less than somebody else's was when you claimed that people were suggesting that your opinion meant less than anybody else's. Then somehow that morphed into people allegedly claiming that your opinion was worthless, not just worth less, combined with believing that all you were doing was defending yourself against this heinous suggestion, complete with the Allcaps Of Anger. Consider easing up on the persecution complex.

@ThanosReXXX Ah, the old trick of claiming opinion in an attempt to justify a belief and prevent it from being critiqued. You argued that the game couldn't possibly be a nine because it wasn't the Abzû-esque exploration game you thought it was going to be. There's nothing of opinion in that suggestion. It's a research sim, and if you had said it's a bad game because it's a bad research sim, that would be both opinion and defensible. But you said it was a bad game because it wasn't a diving game, and that is neither.

Re: ESRB And PEGI Will Continue To Assign Ratings Remotely

This is good. Not because new video games remain available (although I don't mind), but because with the virus and the response combining to decimate the economy any work that can continue, and any industry that can be active, is not just beneficial but essential.

Re: Reminder: Abylight's Switch And 3DS Sale Ends Today, Up To 50% Off Select Games (North America)

@Tandy255 I've gotten caught before by sales not being available on what I thought was the last day they would be, so I sympathize. I believe the eShop updates at noon Eastern/9 Pacific; I know a couple of times I've had to wait until then to download games on the day they've launched, so I think it's the general rule. It wouldn't surprise me if that is the time that sales end, as well.

@Darlinfan Calling it an encyclopedia is a poor analogy. The internet is fantastic for educating yourself about specific topics, but it is an abysmal place to browse and learn about new things. Yes, people can inform themselves about any game, but it can't occur to them to do so until they've already learned about the game, and that's not something you can expect the internet to do.

Re: Image & Form Gives Away 2,000 SteamWorld Games, Codes Now Sent Out To Winners

Was lucky enough to get a copy of Quest.
So far it's the only good thing to come out of having nothing to do but stay home, sit on my couch, and stare at a screen; fortunately I was opting for my phone's screen and not my TV's at the time the original tweet went out. I love RPGs, I love cards, and I love SteamWorld Dig, so it was only a matter of time before I pulled the trigger and got Quest, but a wishlist 80 games long and longer backlog conspired to keep pushing when back. Remember when the Wii U got six games a month and five of them were obviously garbage to be avoided?

Re: Abylight Hosts Switch And 3DS Sale, Get 50% Off For A Limited Time (North America)

@ResidentSteve @imgrowinglegs At the time of the cancelation I didn't have another system that the game was coming to, so I will admit that I didn't pay much attention to how to change platforms, not that it would have done me any good if I had. But when they announced for the Switch I reached out on Twitter and was met with silence, have been every time I try, and, to judge from comments on the Kickstarter page, am not alone. I backed a number of other games for the Wii U that canceled for that system but came to the Switch (or are still in development for it)--Earthlock, Hollow Knight, Nefarious, Sneaky Ninja--and all of them not only gave me Switch copies, they had proactively reached out to their Kickstarter backers and offered them, rather than waiting for requests. Hyper Light Drifter is the only game not to make that option available.

@Toy_Link Obviously @Scy and @Szczelec35 are two separate people. You can tell because one commented to the other, and nobody is so absolutely pathetic that he'd comment to himself just to disguise that he's using multiple accounts simultaneously. The identical outlook, syntax, and vocabulary just means that they're kindred spirits, that's all.
