@Mambitos Calm down. No one is stopping you from expressing your feelings. All some are doing is disagreeing with your opinions. That is not a dictatorship.
Perspective is important: It's a video game, not life and death.
@FishyS It's all over the 'net that users who buy the expansion pack then don't renew their subscription lose the use of the archipelago but not the items. That's from Nintendo.
@tkdboy1889 With this franchise I think it's more a case of people trusting Marvelous to treat the game with respect and care. They didn't, and have squandered years of trust. That will be difficult to get back.
@Burning_Spear That's what worries me. Instead of remembering the sh*tstorm at release they will remember the numbers. I don't have much hope for future games returning to better quality.
I'm happy about this. I restarted my island and i'm enjoying the game again. Gonna have to beg for flowers and fruit down the road but that's the way it is.
Took me a long time restarting to get the airport colour and fruit I wanted, but it was worth it.
I agree with most that the review says, yet I like the game. I can't really explain it, I enjoy playing it. It gets frustrating as hell, but nevertheless.
A simple fix would be to start you off with 5 hearts from the beginning and have a couple items that would replenish hearts. It does have a learning curve for getting thru and, yes: sometimes you die unfairly. I've had to use the internet a couple of times because the way forward is often just bloody impossible to figure out til you've done it.
I don't regret buying Baldo and recognise that it's not for everyone. It could be so much better but, as I said, I like it.
@Heavyarms55 I'm afraid we now live in a world where everything is considered news. I have a deep seated antipathy toward reality TV shows, but they fit with the notion that everything in one's life is newsworthy. When people get massive amounts of hits showing themselves eating a hamburger something is screwy. But, that's just mho.
@AcridSkull He did most of his own stunts and has had a number of operations and medical problems. He's also suffered from severe depression due to a divorce and being blacklisted for speaking out about the sexual abuse he endured.
I'm not sure of the point of this article. I'm a veteran gamer and I've never known anyone who automatically thought spin offs were lazy or any other of the negatives used. Games are, to different people, good and worth the time or not.
I'm not into Pokemon so I can't speak to them, but Dragon Quest Buiders, especially 2, are great. The only similarity to Minecraft is the use of squares in the terraforming.
It feels like the author got an assignment and just had to write a certain number of words to fill it.
@HamatoYoshi said: "Basically if anything offends anyone in this day and age it has to go. It’s a sad state of affairs that the world we live in is turning into a generation of snowflakes who pretend to be offended by the slightest thing."
Ah, but it becomes like Ouroborus ie people become offended by people taking offence. Are they snowflakes as well? Are they pretending offence? Is this a slight thing?
I'm to the point of really wanting to start over with a new island, but I hate that it means begging for different flowers and fruit online. They screwed up the mystery island concept. All fruits and flowers should be available thru the tours eventually.
Robin Williams was misdiagnosed with Parkinsons and medicated for that. The meds are very harmful when given thru error. What he really had was Lewy Body Dementia. It affected his mind, his memory and his body movements. His wife has said that he was in terrible physical pain.
As in the movie Beginnings he was probably aware of what he was losing.
I won't judge the decision he made to end his life. With all the joy he gave the world he deserved peace, however he found it.

Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Price?

And yet, since I play exclusively docked the OLED seems a waste of money. A lot more than a 1yr subscription with the AC dlc.
It's a matter of perspective and what's important to each individual.
Re: Soapbox: Let's Get Happy Home Designer Into Animal Crossing: New Horizons

I will give her a home to make a sheep proud.
Re: Happy Home Paradise Unveiled For Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Paid DLC Or In NSO Expansion Pack
I've already gotten my money's worth out of AC. This is priced reasonably, imo, and is worth it. Others may disagree and not buy it.
That's the way it works.

How can you prove that? I can say MOST people play the Switch docked but saying it doesn't make it true.
I only play handheld when I travel. When I'm home it stays docked 100% of the time. Why would I play on that small screen when I can play on a 55" tv?
