Re: Backlog Club: Week Zero, June - Return Of Backlog Club, Return Of The Obra Dinn

finally busted out RUINER. absolutely super mechanics - but now it's taxing me with the moral gate. what a spoiler thing to add. if placed in the star wars galaxy it might have been permissible. But your character is armed with lead pipe instead of a lightsaber, and bullets instead of a lazer gun, painting you as a kamikaze terrorist instead of a jedi or disney tourist. what the actual fk.

Re: Reggie Shares Thoughts On How Nintendo Can Prepare For The Switch's Successor

I dont think the next console needs to be transcendent like theyve said it should. It would be enough of a headliner to get parts for the sequel console with increased specs at the same price point as the current switch. The steam deck is rather expensive despite its superior specs to nintendos. The next nintendo console should really refrain from release until the desired parts reach the necessary price point even it means to keep delaying the next console years after they have said to expect it. I expect other mobile device consumers arent loyal enough to not demand the best of the best asap from them. This unfortunate trend for them will yield a dust trail of obsolete parts that will actually be gold dust for nintendo and their sequel needs.

Widdit.

However (lol) often, these games aren't simply games - they're incantations, they are spells, they are candles, to ward away ghosts. If Harry Potter learns the Expecto Patronum spell, it would behoove him to keep it and use it when it's needed. You can't exactly replace it. But sure, I suppose Harry Potter can wrap his wand with ribbons and stickers but the spell remains the same.

This world is hopeless, but let's continue to name these clouds in the sky anyway.

@YoshiF2 it's not baggage - they're bikes to run ads to create awareness to attract further investments into further manufacturing for more bikes for more people in different colors.

Re: Sword Of The Vagrant Launches On Switch This June

Im not a fan of these games skipping on frame animations however it is understandable that often times the consumer will likely leave those details unappreciated anyway, and the devs want to hurry to make money. For me though, its an automatic no.

@Bret i'd hate to pick and choose when its convenient or not to acknowledge streams of collective consciousness but certainly even the smallest shots can be heard around the entire world. this world's already over populated so you can bet there's always going to be someone finding any reason to express collective catharsis.

"Take care not to delve too far, lest you risk losing yourself" I'm so sick of this theme used so often in games.

Like, you can't tell this to a student trying to graduate from high school. No, freshman - you are not created perfect and no one will pay you for staying a freshman forever. You must let go of your freshman clothes to put on your graduation hat.
