TryToBeHopeful

I'm glad they narrowed down which Shaggy it was in the list, but did they need to narrow down which Gandalf?

@falkyn I've had Lumines since the first day I got my Switch. I just think portable Tetris Effect is more preferable than VR Tetris Effect

@Axelay71 some people have both? This is a great package UI/online/ranking/manuals (ok, not original) and MAME is a pain.

I’ve had this on wishlist for a while so saving 25% on all three volumes was perfect.

Also great they let you try it for free to see if you like the way they’ve done it.

@falkyn you’re missing out on the portability though. And not needing to puke after 30 mins (just me?). In fairness I’ve never played Tetris effect in VR.

@mario-from-mario-64 nope. It’s too good a game. And it’s not made by Nintendo. You can get it for free on gamepass though. Not sure how long that’ll last for but you’ll be looking to pay more than £10/month rather than the £7/year I’ll pay for having the full NSO + expansion membership.

@The_Pixel_King 1.2.5 is the generic version number. 1.0.2 is the Switch version number. When you start the game it should say 1.2.5 on the splash screen. Not sure why they haven’t made them match up.

@Avoozl yep!

Patched today to include (i.e. fix) 1984 mode unlock.

@PBandSmelly I think I basically only bought the mii costumes with music. And bomberman...

@PBandSmelly Have you got the MII DLC music tracks as well? Think there are three including cuphead. Not Doom, sadly.

@PBandSmelly I know, right!? I checked to see if it would recognise save date from the demo game. Nope. I think I need to find someone with it on physical that will share it with me for 5 minutes. Unlikely in my friend group...

I bought Lord of the Rings extended on Bluray and now people can watch the non-extended version on Prime? This is an outrage! Consumer Malpractice! Something something.

Why would someone be annoyed about an Alex video?

What’s the big deal? I paid a lot more for the Super Mario game and watch!

@Arkantos2990 how have I got DLC for my physical version of Captain Toad, then…?

@Arkantos2990 Via Google: "In the fiscal year 2020, the Walt Disney Company generated a total revenue of 65.39 billion U.S. dollars, down from 69.61 billion in 2019." (still higher than 2018).

Anyway I've got no issue with Disney charging for DLC to put in another game. I've got the physical, hopefully I can still get the SNES Aladdin.

@Meteoroid There are some crimes like murder, that may have longer sentences, but can be less reprehensible than any sexual crimes, or crimes against women or children. I could watch an actor who had committed man-slaughter, but I would not watch someone who committed a sexual assault or a crime against a child. But the argument about separating the art from the artist (and I'm not talking to you, specifically) is separate to the argument about whether Chris Pratt has really done anything wrong to earn the ire of people.

@UmbreonsPapa But when you compare him to Bill Cosby, what did he do that's objectionable?

Rehome a dog? Go fully nude in a nude scene that we don't know the wider context of? Attend a church that's connected to Hillsong, some members of who are not very LGBT friendly (or are going through their own confusing journeys)? I listen to Hillsong music (among others) because it affirms my faith, and as demographics change I'm sure lots of young Hillsong congregants are going to be a lot more LGBT-affirming. I know plenty of evangelicals who are. We can't be all or nothing.

@TioRogerio I assume you are agreeing with my opinions on 'The Secret Life of Pets' (it is decent).

@Tobiaku You're right, they don't have a great back catalogue.

@Tobiaku Umm... Are you forgetting, The Secret Life of Pets...?

I think we all agree, Nintendo could have given us the N64/mega drive games for free with the money they would have saved by getting Charles Martinet to play all the roles.

@TrickWallaceYoutube I knowrite? I also do not really like hunting, but I'm sure I've got friends who do.

Now if he was into fox-hunting....

@nocdaes I agree, and for instance the stuff about John Barrowman getting his bits out on the set of Doctor Who (or maybe it was Torchwood) is totally unacceptable, despite his apparent feeling that because he was gay, women wouldn't have a problem with it. I don't think Chris Pratt's done anything near cancel-worthy, but I'm not his friend, agent or lawyer, so it's not really my problem. On a personal level I do object to Christians getting lumped in with anything wrong that any of the other 2.5 billion have done (or even people in the local congregation).

@JasmineDragon And on the Michael Richards topic, people should know what he said, but it seemed like he had a total breakdown. He's never going to be able to live without people knowing about it, he crossed a line he shouldn't have crossed, but if there's a criminal penalty for what he did he's gone through it. Louis CK's still performing, and he did HORRIBLE things.

Except fondling an actress is a pretty big crime? I don't want to watch sexual abusers, either.

Back on the Chris Pratt tack, this seems fairly uncontroversial (Via: https://www.insider.com/chris-pratt-defends-zoe-church-ellen-page-anti-lgbtq-2019-2):

"Despite what the Bible says about divorce my church community was there for me every step of the way, never judging, just gracefully accompanying me on my walk," Pratt said in the Instagram story. "They helped me tremendously offering love and support. It is what I have seen them do for others on countless occasions regardless of sexual orientation, race or gender."

Pratt said his faith was "important" but that it did not "define" him.

"My values define who I am. We need less hate in the world, not more," he said. "I am a man who believes that everyone is entitled to love who they want free from the judgment of their fellow man."

@nocdaes I agree, he crossed a line, but he's also an actor, playing a nude scene (and not working in a costco) and has presumably played lots of scenes totally nude before. Again, not acceptable, apologise take the punishment and move on, but it needs a little context. Read about how people like Shia LaBoeuf get into the role if you want to see some very difficult to forgive toxicity.

It's easy for non-Christians to know the perfect response to every piece of internet outrage.

Christians forgive, and sometimes have to work with Christians they don't agree with or attend churches with people they don't agree with. We don't abandon the people we disagree with for their beliefs. Otherwise no one ever improves. And in life, you don't get to pick and choose your community unless you want to sentence yourself to life in a bubble.

Chris has been fairly careful to remain apolitical as is his right. But people from all different points of view seem to like him.

You can't take it to Mars!?

If the auction house does the grading, is that not a conflict of interests?

Ok, how many people saw that picture, and assumed we were getting a GCN switch controller and GCN games in Switch online...?

This strict-vegetarian animal lover, does not like PETA. They do far more to turn people off.

That pico must be modified?

It may be a scam, but how is it money laundering? Are people paying in cash? Are they getting other consideration in return?

@1UP_MARIO didn’t know you were allowed…

@1UP_MARIO Came to post the same but with (some) different games. Pleased with it. And that you can mix and match the external and internal covers.

@EarthboundBenjy I think you can get 50 a week just by going to nintendo.com logged in to your my nintendo account.

@Matl From my point of view, it's basically free and it will replace the small stack of cases next to my TV (most of the cases are in a bookshelf on the other side of the room). I've never really had more than 4 cartridges on the go, anyway.

Already ordered. Triggered big physical vs. digital discussion at work, but I'm sure we'll be immune here.

Joycon firmware updated as well. Pro controller seemingly not.

@UglyCasanova and me some modest mouse / sub pop!

"Up up down down left right left right B A start, Just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart."

Tetris. Didn't come to NES, not going to come to GB.

I don't get why people are surprised that they might disagree with a review. That's the point of reviews, they're subjective. If they weren't, no game would need more than one review!

And the idea that we should try everything ourselves? Great if you've got the time and money...

@Gwynbleidd Yep that's fair enough. I'd expect all the big 5 Eurovision languages to be supported! (I'm a quarter Italian myself!)

@Bentendo1609 There's Lego Red Dwarf?!

@Gwynbleidd Out of wonder, is your language Welsh? Are there many games localised in Welsh?

I'm shocked at all the people who have played Doom to death but not Quake. Quake was the definitive FPS of my childhood. And I was awful at it.

One of my friends made a mod where you just looked at enemies and they fell over dead. And a different one where they fragged. Good times.

Remember when all the old Dooms got reissued, and everybody freaked out about online login and minor sound issues (despite the tiny cost), and now they're the definitive case study for remasters?

Good on Bethesda.
