@DumbElder like almost all websites? Did you read the link? He’s not selling data on your game likes to advertisers. And he gives options to opt out although anyone that cares would use an adblocker if they didn’t want him to be able to fund his server costs.
@Moroboshi876 From memory, I think the sales were pretty high. It was the only way to (almost) play NES Super Mario Bros before Switch Online launched the NES games.
In fairness, what's the point of investing in a big voicechat infrastructure when people are already using free services that are always going to be better?
@gokev13 Yup, my wife played first, she's the representative. She spoke to Blathers and got Brewster's pic. Then I logged in and talked to blathers and he didn't mention the cafe, then I went to a capp'n island and brewster was not there. Harv's island worked fine, and then she logged back in and Brewster was at the capp'n island. I also, unsurprisingly, was not able to buy that builder's license that lets you build more bridges / inclines.
(edit: oh wait, I got confused and thought this said it was already out in NA. I've seen online there's supposed to be a patch for the current game available, but I'm not seeing it)
I need to test this on my 2nd tv as it’s currently got weird ghosting on my 4K tv and it makes me a bit sad. It also use to do weird things with the rgb profile. Just this one game! Got to admit I’ve not been that bothered since I started with Hades.
@MortalKombat2007 Oh, I don't wish I was 30. My 30s sucked. I'm just a little tired, and also it's a big deal when you start working with people in the office born this century.
Truthfully, just porting Dr. Mario to the mobile would not have been any better. Games that need physical controls are pretty rubbish on a small touch screen.
The Mario one is very cute (would love it if it had more game versions included, or was updateable) but I'm not at all bothered about Zelda. Which is a shame, as it seems like there's more included here.
@Dethmunk No, not every church. It's much easier for independent churches (it's also easier for them to be discriminatory). The bigger established churches have processes for change, but it takes a long time, because they've been going a long time. Many Christians are on a journey from biblical literalism, to a more nuanced understanding of the message.
I love a bit of Dr Mario, but could never get into this game. Just a typical frustrating pay-to-play mobile game. At least it didn't have ads... I think...
@PBandSmelly This again. Some people in a church related to Chris Pratt's church (and probably in his church) have a tough time with accepting that some people are gay and that it's ok. Chris Pratt doesn't.
@PosterBoy yeah, maybe goes on the wishlist, but between all the tetris games on switch, and the similar games on snes online, do we really need it...?

@DumbElder sounds like defamation but by all means, dig in. Thanks for not answering my questions. Buh bye.

Re: Feature: "The eShop Is Just Way Too Slow" - Deku Deals Creator On Nintendo's Switch Storefront
@DumbElder were you being factually pedantic for fun or did you think you were enlightening him to the realities of capitalism?
A lot of people reading your comment would think you were saying he was selling your information on game purchases / wish lists etc.
Re: Feature: "The eShop Is Just Way Too Slow" - Deku Deals Creator On Nintendo's Switch Storefront
@Burning_Spear he’s right though, that’s so annoying.

Re: Hardware Review: Game & Watch: The Legend Of Zelda - A Link To Link's Past
@Damo Sorry, I thought that clear stand in the pictures was the one mentioned previously. I was skimming, I'll be honest.
Re: Hardware Review: Game & Watch: The Legend Of Zelda - A Link To Link's Past
@TryToBeHopeful Wait, it's in the headline picture. Is that just the cardboard inner case?
Re: Hardware Review: Game & Watch: The Legend Of Zelda - A Link To Link's Past
Not so bothered about Zelda compared to Mario. I like the Mario Game and Watch, but this release makes me feel like they could have done more with it.
I thought the stand was Zelda themed (am I misremembering something)?
Re: Watch: This Is What Grand Theft Auto Definitive Trilogy Looks Like On Switch

Hence journalism.

Re: Random: Have You Noticed This Glaring Error In Arcade Archives VS. Super Mario Bros?
Just checked the game, and this is definitely not a thing. It was barely news (almost) 4 years ago, and it isn't news now.

@StardusterEX There's no doubt most people play in real time.Most people wouldn't have the knowledge or inclination to keep changing their clocks.

@Kevember Haha, 'old technology'. I'm 40 in two weeks, am I allowed to feel a little old?
Re: Random: Oh No, People Don't Recognise GameCubes Any More
I'm old enough that I've only seen a gamecube about twice because it came after I lived with my parents, and before I had much money of my own...
