Beat Mr Mosquito and Secret Agent Clank on Ps5 last week, including the platinum for Mosquito. Also beat Mega Man III on Switch/NSO.

Currently playing The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice.

The plan is to start something for spooky month after. Maybe the original Ps2 Silent Hill 2 Director’s Cut or Luigi’s Mansion 3 on Switch.

Re: Talking Point: How Do You Define 'Retro'?

SNES was considered retro when it was barely 10 years old.
DS, Psp, Ps3, wii and X360 are all between 18 and 20 years old and yet people hold stand fast they’re not retro yet.

Just weird. They’re very much retro to me.

Re: RetroArch Is Now On The iOS App Store

Already been using it. Glad it supports the dualsense controller too.
Now it’s just waiting for a GCN, ps2, Dreamcast and OG xbox emulator for the more recent iPhones and I don’t need to be indecisive about wanting a steamdeck anymore.

Re: Fortnite's New Setting Lets You Hide "Confrontational Emotes"

2 of them because they’re toxic, the others because of racism.

For those not aware, many racists and edgy kids use the whip crack emote and all banana emotes towards PoC/black skins as a “joke”.

Can’t believe fortnite/epic doesn’t let us report those people for a ban and instead has to disable the emotes.

@sanderev ah I think I mixed up the legallity of distribution vs downloading itself (which was very much legal until the EU made it illegal).

Btw tip translate your comment because NintendoLife has rules against non English comments. Got some comments deleted years ago for those reasons.

@sanderev @mariomaster96 @jco83 Nintendo saying it’s illegal doesn’t make it illegal, they don’t make the laws, they’re not disney.

There’s also many countries like the Netherlands where distribution and acquisition of ROMs and other software, movies or music is fully legal as long as it isn’t being sold or paywalled.

Re: Editorial: Happy Holidays, Nintendo Lifers

@BiscuitCrumbsInMyBed that’s fair.
Still would recommend the video as it’s an interesting watch.

My go to approach is saying both merry Christmas and happy holiday. That way I’m double inclusive.

Although don’t say happy Christmas in front of me, that stuff is cursed.

Re: Editorial: Happy Holidays, Nintendo Lifers

@BiscuitCrumbsInMyBed I recommend you to watch the HbomberGuy video on the war on christmas.

Gist of the first chapter is happy holidays and merry Christmas are equally as old and happy holidays used to be the main greeting used for most of time until it fell into obscurity the last 50 years just to be brought back in the past 20 years.

Happy holidays was created fot christmas just as much as merry Christmas was.

Re: Fortnite's Dev Really Wants A Crossover With Nintendo But Hasn't Had Any Luck

They supposedly where getting samus aran alongside kratos and master chief in 2019 or 2020 or something but the deal fell through because nintendo wanted samus aran to only be buyable and usable on switch and only for switch players to be able to view the skins, other platforms seeing her as a default skin instead.

She was even datamined and referenced in a batman Fortnite comig.

Beat Like a Dragon Gaiden a few days ago and absolutely cried at that ending. Also beat Castlevania Bloodlines and reached level 50+ in Fortnite OG

I’ve currently beaten 99 games this year and 299 unique games since 2017 so I’m doing an almost blind playthrough of Final Fantasy 7. The only things I know are the twist the internet has spoiler for the past 20 years now and everything that was brought over to 7 Remake.
