I feel they disagree with the underlying cause of the protests - probably not the idea of protesting. If a player knelt in support of law enforcement/troops/whatever after expressing he felt that law enforcement were being unfairly treated, I'd be shocked if said player was booed (presuming fans knew the backstory). These fans simply don't want to hear about the mistreatment of SOME people, by SOME law enforcement, based on skin color. They have their fingers in their ears and refuse to listen.

They would be if you were going about it that way. They would be told to support us in a different way that isn't disrespectful to those who served and to the country.

Which is exactly where the whole kneeling thing started - Kaepernick was originally sitting as his protest but after talking with a veteran they came up with kneeling as a respectful way of expressing the same sentiment.

That was only Galaxy 2. Galaxy 1 was just a boring easy run around Peachs castle collecting coins. I remember being extremely disappointed by it.


It was awesome. Just a leisurely stroll to get 100 purple coins while all the characters from the game gathered around and congratulated you.

It was terrible. I was expecting the greatest of challenges with a name like Grand Finale.

Up to 943 moons. Just have the last 2 post-game worlds to finish and buying a few more moons.

Probably will finish this tomorrow and get the true ending

I read that there are only 840 or something?

What is the real number

You can buy moons eventually, so you max out at 999 but there are significantly fewer actually hidden.

So far all of Nintendos mobile offerings have been a prettt big miss for me, but Ill give this a shot.

Kinda the opposite for me with regard to their other stuff. I mean, okay, Miitomo is Miitomo, but I've played way more Mario Run than I expected, and while I'm nowhere near hardcore in Fire Emblem I still try to at least play few stages a week. Still kicking around a bit in Pokmon Go too, not a lot but I've gotten several of the Gen III ghosts at least.

Neat, thanks!

My only fear with a count this high is that getting the moons will lack the craftsmanship of stars/shines in the other games, but I'm willing to believe they can pull this off. Cautious optimism, ho!

Based on the demo I just played, a lot of them are just quick grabs, like one where you capture a Bullet Bill and crash into a nearby crate, or another where you grab a Bill from the same launcher and fly to a nearby pillar, but there are more significant ones that I assume will be the ones you need to progress.

Is there a concrete source on this, like an actual leak or review copy or something? I did a little digging and just turned up what was largely guess-work and supposition, chunks of which had actual evidence disproving it.

Some shops have broken street date and the lucky buyers have been playing for a few days now. The ending has apparently caused some controversy, though I didnt look into details.

My best Wonder Trade gift was when I got a Piplup in that time period where Bank had been shut down after its initial release in Japan. Was able to breed that and parlay its descendants into most of the Pokmon that weren't in X/Y natively, including several of the legendaries (had to work up to those of course, but it was worth it).

Well fuck that. I got 13 and that's way more Crucible than I normally play. I'll just wait and hope for better luck next month.

I did however manage to complete three other vendor armor sets this weekend - the Crucible Phoenix Strife, the Vanguard Research Noble Constant, and the Eververse Optimacy sets. Not sure how far along I am in the various weapon sets but I know I still need some pieces for the planetary and Strike sets. (Pretty sure I've completed one or two of the non-faction armor sets along the way, but I care less about those.)

You know what, let's make this the Mobius topic as well.

Clearly the Mobile Game Topic purged because you've been playing FFXIV and I got distracted with Doki Doki Literature Club. I also don't feel like making a new one right now.

In any case, Mobius is getting an FFX event in JP

http://www.siliconera.com/2017/10/15/tidus-story-final-fantasy-x-x-2-will-told-major-mobius-final-fantasy-event/



The Dream Within a Dream collaboration event will tell us Tidus side of the story and what he was up to between Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2. Its also worth noting that Mobius Final Fantasys director is none other than Motomu Toriyama, and along with producer Yoshinori Kitase, the game has a core cast of developers from the original Final Fantasy X working their respective roles. This also includes lead scenario writer Daisuke Watanabe, so fans of the series can rest assured that its in good hands.

Awww yeah, we're gonna get the one-up on those FFX people now!

Welp, guess Im gonna have to play more Mobius.
