I feel like this series ran its course ten years ago. Time to retire. Lol

Unpopular opinion: BotW is a fantastic game, but FAR from being the best Zelda. I need a little thing called story in my RPGs. Lol
Praying TotK has some more of that.

Me and the kids will try it!

@OldManHermit Bless you for this.

@Brad_Hogan This was definitely a mostly peaceful robbery. No harm no foul. 🤣 😂

@PARK1755 Amen to that! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

@PARK1755 I like your optimistic attitude.

@johnvboy Good comment. Luckily, these self defense situations are indeed rare which I'm grateful for but they do happen. But thats the difference between just owning a gun and having it locked up in the basement and actually carrying and TRAINING with it. I do have a gun ready to go in several places in my house and when I carry outside, I'm always alert for danger and locked and loaded. If a goon is suddenly coming at me whether on the street or at home I feel I'd be ready.

I'm a 20-year martial artist though so maybe my sense of defensive situations is a little higher than the average person. Haha

@JayJ I'm so grateful for people like you who have thier head on straight. Lol

It only took 15 comments to turn political. Haha. Ill join!
1) This is of course very sad but the owner did the right thing to comply. Things can be replaced. Lives cannot.
2) Being in Seattle was thier first mistake. Haha. Terrible, anti-freedom leadership at the state level.
3) This is why I carry everywhere. I'm a concealed carry license holder and never go anywhere without my firearm (Taurus G2C 9mm). I pray I'll never ever have to use it but won't regret for a second if I need to defend someone or myself. Statistically speaking, criminals don't want a gunfight and often thier guns are airsoft or painted toys OR they are untrained and can't use them well. They just wanna get in and out with no trouble. If more people in the US took advantage of the 2nd Amendment and responsibly carried and trained, crime would actually go down a lot. Criminals will get guns no matter what so we may as well increase defenders everywhere as a deterent.
4) I dont know what the specific gun laws are in Seattle but here in Utah, its still the wild west. Many people carry and if someone draws a weapon on you like in a situation like this, it's considered a deadly threat and lethal force is justified.

Ok, I'm done!
PS. I won't be replying to any argumentative comments. Just thought I'd leave my two cents before the comments got shut down. Haha.
Hope the store owners can recover and the baddie gets caught.

As a published indie author, AI art has been a godsend. Ive been using it a lot through Midjourney and DollE 2. As long as you clarify the art is AI generated, I see it as completely ethical.
What a lot of people don't understand is that many of these AI bots don't "copy and paste" pieces of others' art. It studies the noise and patterns of other art, down to the pixels and color combinations then truly does build something new from scratch.

Obviously, if you have it make a copyrighted character or something that resembles something copyrighted, that would be a clear no-no for the same reasons it would be if a human did it.

So now she's backpeddling? This is why you don't go to social media when you're emotionally compromised and post in the heat of the moment.

Really enjoyed the first one but will probably skip this. Kind of a one and done thing for me.

JUST GIVE ME MEGAMAN LEGENDS ON SWITCH! One of my favorite games of all time and it's literally stuck on PS1.

@90sRetroGaming I would pay an unholy amount of money for that Kollection! Haha

That was awesome! MK 1, 2, and 3 on arKades and SNES plus the 90s movie were HUGE parts of my childhood. Also...HOW IS THIS SERIES 30 YEARS OLD? lol 😭

Can the Klassic ones come to Switch now for the anniversary? Haha

I love how Nintendo just made me pay $7 shipping for my "free" item. Lol. Honestly, I was just happy to have ANYTHING cool to spend my points on which have just been sitting in that jar for like 2 years. Lol.
Can't believe they were still available to snag!

@AstroTheGamosian I'm a big fan of the live action Mario movie too. Haha. And you're right. This needs to succeed if we want more Nintendo movies. Whether it's good or bad, I think it will be a massive smash hit simply from IP power alone.

Imagine if Nintendo movies end up being an MCU style multiverse that culminates in a Smash movie. Haha

SO BEYOND EXCITED FOR THIS.

People need hobbies. Lol

Blizzard is at the point as a company where they just need to admit they had a good run but its time to cut thier losses and close thier doors.

So exciteeeeed!

Never thought the Mario movie would look like this. Awesome trailer!

I mean...cool and all but a pass from me being a vanilla owner. $20 is waaaay to much for an upgrade to an old release of a very old game I've played multiple times. Can't justify it at all... especially since the whole package goes on sale on Playstation for like $10 bucks all the time.

I'm really excited to see what they do.

...but where's Chrono Trigger? Sorry/not sorry to be that guy. Lol

@steventonysmith Right...because I keep that database SUPER up to date...lol.
Dont you have anything better to do than police an article like this? Youve got like 100 comments on here. I state a casual opinion and you go stalking my profile page? Haha

Pretty darn weak line up from my personal perspective.

One of the worst character designs of all time. Right up there with Rex and Tidus.

@MegaMari0 Dude, it sounds like you have a bad cough going on there. You might wanna call out.

With rumors of an FF9 remake floating around, you can't put Vivi on a thumbnail! I almost pissed my pants!

Plus, the Switch is for good boys and girls, remember?

I'm lucky enough to have been playing Splatoon 3 for several years now. Its called Splatoon 2.

I'd rather have a port of Ocarina of Time 3D, personally.

I played through 1 and 2 back in the day and loved them but for me they are a kind of one and done thing. Super big win for the Switch though if this is true!

Really lived the demo. Will probably pick it up at some point.

Got into a total of 2 matches. It was all completely broken and the game felt exactly like Splatoon 2. I think my ride with the series ends here.

Are we now gonna see an article on every single thing Sakurai does on his new channel? If we want that, can't we just subscribe to his channel? Lol

I dont think I have any choice but to buy this...

I remember this game being so cool and edgy back in the day. I think I rented it once or twice. Haha. I'll keep an eye on this.

@bonjong23 Hahah. Alllllright.

Seems the main argument is that one camp is happy with Splatoon 3 as is while the other camp (which I'm in) feels its Splatoon 2.5 and doesn't offer enough new stuff to justify a purchase. People in camp one are like "well, what do you expect Splatoon to do? Change its whole identity? Be an RPG?" No. It just needs something- ANYTHING to set it apart from then first two. Here is an example of what would get me excited. Picture this for Splatoon 3:

• Triple or quadruple the amount of character customization options
• Have a fully customizable apartment out from the city acting as your hub and collectathon museum.
• Have three different cities you can bus or train to to play the actual game, each city looking totally different (Inkopolis, a Vegas type one, a New York type one, etc)
• Each city would host different modes, feature different shops, mini games (where you could buy or find things for your apartment), etc. giving you reason to travel to all of them often. Have them bigger with more activities to do.
• Story mode would have you traveling to these cities unraveling some kind of mystery in addition to the regular campaign levels.
• Local and online co-op for both traditional battle modes OR apartment hang outs.
• Native voice chat
• Mechanic of being able to graffiti city walls with custom drawn art.
• Level builder to share with friends or online.

See what I mean? Like, keep all the same gameplay and modes we know and love. Thats fine. But do even just a few of the above things to push the series forward and make it *ahem FRESH.

@ModdedInkling Very good point!

I dont even think Splatoon 3 looked exciting enough to try the this test run. Lol. I dunno...loved 1 and 2 but seeing as 3 is simply more of the exact same, I think I'll pass.

@Aozz101x I KNOW right?? So much untapped potential there. They just need to harness thier inner Smash Bros Spirit and do it already. So many good options.

@WolfyTn I hear ya. The DBZ stuff is annoying but honestly I've found great pleasure in blowing away weeb after weeb after weeb. Lol. The DBZ skins are accurate representations but look RIDICULOUS in the game. They seriously look like giant sports team mascot suits. Lol! There are so many "giant-heads" running around and they make for easy targets. 😆 🤣 😂

Don't like DBZ at all but I think its cool they went all in with this crossover. Hoping they do more like this going forward that ARENT more Marvel or Star Wars things.

I understand pandemic blah blah but still...this is kind of depressing. And extra ironic since BotW2 is being built on the foundation of an already completed game (assets, engine, etc).

I feel confident that this won't be the case, but I'm praying they don't pull a Splatoon 3 and have BotW2 just be morenof the same old thing. I'll need a huge new gameplay mechanic to really be hyped. Not to mention an actual story...
