Also, that Unbeatable developer’s condescending commentary pretty much ensured I’ll never consider any of their output. Guess that’s my “lizard brain” talking though, right?
@N64-ROX I remember being very young and completely horrible at that game when I rented it. Ha! I need to sail the seas and see what it’s like in 2025.
@JohnnyMind This is a total aside but if I don’t ask now I’ll forget. I’ve seen you mention your “usual retailer” and I was just wondering who the retailer was (if you don’t mind sharing). My wife and I recently re-connected with some pals who now live in Italy (Rome), and I keep wondering if you guys shop at the same place. Ha. They’re in town here (USA) for a little bit, so I’ll have to ask where he goes.
I’ve never played a Bubsy, but I’ve heard about all the poor reviews. Know what? I’m freakin’ doin’ it, dude. Maybe not one of the physicals, but I’m gonna have a go at this.
I’m sad this is only built for professional use, according to 8Bit’s description. WHEN are they going to release the rumored NOOB-01 for “horribly inefficient dweebs and general *****” like me?!
@sikthvash I think Jeff Grubb leaked that detail ahead of time with a now-deleted tweet: “You’ll understand why everyone keeps calling him Kid Thickarus.”
@-wc- Dude!!! I’d forgotten about that band til you mentioned them. Pulled up their 2022 release on the way home just now. So frickin raunchy and old school (in a good way). I’d be inclined to pronounce it ‘ah-SEH-fah-lix,’ but I’m likely wrong!
“It’s absurd,” said Brier. “The only thing close to an apology I’ve gotten was last Tuesday when I received a $25 gift card to Chili’s in the mail. It had a note scribbled on it, from Shinya Takahashi, that said, ‘Sorry for the weird games. Please enjoy this.’”
@Coffeemonstah @betterthanvegas Ah, ok. I’ll have to look into some of what you mentioned. Seems excessive on their part. On a positive note, that Dungeon Mayhem game does look like a breezy bit of fun.
@Coffeemonstah How are they toxic? (I’m legitimately asking, not being facetious. I always say I’m going to try out a card game of some sort and never end up doing so.)
“I just didn’t understand at all,” reported one American player, Steve Muldoon. “I’ve seen all manner of inappropriate and, frankly, vile usernames on the app. ButtTaster69. LordOfShartsAndBlood84. Thunderstone4UrMomma. I got why those were reported. But yesterday I awoke to a notification that my username had been flagged, which is bizarre considering it was just my name and nothing else. ‘Steve Muldoon.’ I took to Reddit, Pokémon TikTok, and the official fan forums. The response was pure vitriol. ‘We hate Steve Muldoon. What a gross, plain name. A boring disaster. Away with you, Mr. Muldoon! Away!’”
Muldoon has since been unavailable for follow-up, reportedly having left the country and changing his identity. When notified of the news, Shigeru Miyamoto cheekily smiled, snorted a puff of air through his nostrils, and continued on with his wagyu dinner.
@nessisonett I read a rumor posted by industry analyst Jeff Grubb that the old-timey glasses will be included with the physical release of the Premium Definitive Edition.
Why didn’t they make this statement 8 years ago?! I’ve consistently let my pets peepee, poopoo, and hurl all over my launch-day Switch. Heck, I let them use it as a bed sometimes! Sure, it often emits sparks upon booting up, and most games severely glitch, but I thought that was just the thing showing its age. Frustrating!

Re: Random: Chances Are You've Been Pronouncing 'Balatro' Wrong

Re: Random: Chances Are You've Been Pronouncing 'Balatro' Wrong
Being a Necrophagist fan in the 2000’s was similar. None of us knew how to pronounce it. We just knew they ruled.
