N64 hello?

Hello? Whos there?
Mario 64, Zelda 64, uh.... Banjo?
Yeah, yeah, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark and the rest of the Rare games...
But its all Rare and first party like Kirby & Smash... comes to a total of like a dozen good games tops; if you count BOTH Pokemon Stadiums.

Nintendo hasn't put out a good console since SNES

Agreed, but the Switch might count if you count the online stuff and the WiiU ports.
I mean its the same argument as calling PS2 good for PS1 games.

I grew up calling the NES the "regular nintendo" to distinguish it from the super nintendo. I've also called it the "old nintendo" even though at this point the SNES is practically just as old. Its still a hard habit to break.

I never heard anyone calling an NES or SNES a Ness or Sness or Snezz until like a decade ago.

I am in my mid thirties and grew up with these consoles. So I have no idea when people started using it. Might be a regional thing, but I feel like it's something much newer spawned on the internet.

Same here

I havent watched much TV the past 3 years (no cable) but I hate seeing things like people draw anime characters wearing masks. Not only is it a cringy way to ruin the escapism but its like... already dated in the worst way?

Austin Powers is so 90s that it hurts right? Its like that, for covid. Sooooo 2020s and hopefully not 30s.

I mean I believe in masks and all that, Im not an antivaxer but... I wish they shouldn't wear them on TV, movies, etc. I just understand they should., don't have to like it though.

Is it worth $45 though?

Depends if you want what it is instead of being mad about what it isnt.

Its easy to be disappointed its not Breath of the Wild BUT Ive heard it'll be more like Monster Hunter. I dont like Monster Hunter but I liked Final Fantasy Explorers which is a "bad" MH clone. That said, I dont think Arceus will be a "good" MH clone so; Im still very curious.

@clyde_frog

Im not in the mood for it right now. This is too personal for me and the first time Ive ever opened my heart out like this on CE.

This might not be the best place to open your heart... But I can relate... After our mom passed away I was cleaning her room and found the police records of what my brother did to my sister. I didnt read, only skimmed, never knew the details cause it was treated like no big deal...

He's in prison for doing similar stuff to his neighbor's daughter. Mom died believing he was framed. I dunno what to think. We kept in touch till I found the papers but now Ive just kinda gone awkwardly silent. Kinda wanna destroy'em but maybe I shouldn't? Don't really wanna bring it up to my sister...

So putting this in another way, is it like an mmorpg economy where digital items have an e-commerce value?

Pretty much, or at least thats the goal and the sales pitch. The reality is even more of a charade but thats the idea.

And Im not being vague or whatever, that is actually a good understanding of the concept of what nfts want to be.

It does really work very well unless the company selling the nft makes thier own crypto and takes a percentage of the auctions in a pyramid scheme... But maybe thats phase two.

That said, currently; its like trying to sell the autograph off a baseball by selling a photo of the ball instead of the ball itself. If it sounds so stupid you feel Im explananing it poorly; then you perfectly understand because its as dumb as you think.

I wanted to like it, especially cause its randomly generated & Impa is playable but I dont have the patience/stamina to keep up what little rythym I have to various songs.

And without the rhythm gimmick its way too easy and a little bland.

People think they are buying jpegs with crypto.

But theyre just buying the link.

If the server goes down or changes the jpeg it doesn't matter. All you "own" is the link.

You sell it.

Somebody famous buys it and their /autograph/ on the receipt makes it "valuable".

What gets me is all these religions are like 1000+ years old, so whatever they are forbidding you to inject cant be talking about vaccines.

Like I would even believe the whole "no blood transfusions" thing was a misunderstanding about vampires. Thats a lot more likely than them predicting medical innovations centuries later.

I hated the slots interupting combat every 5 seconds and killing the enemies for me. It might be fun to play but all you get to do is watch.

Isn't this kinda saturating the market? Not that nfts have any value but if everything is an nft then is anything an nft?

Chimera Recollect is a neat little build-a-mon pinball RPG. No micros, no ads offline; just simple fun.

Too simple maybe but still good.

New Threat
Ups the difficulty a bit, mostly rebalancing. Every character has a new skill, I forget exactly but like Barret can tank with his. Each character also has favorite stats instead of fairly even like the original, again; Barret has high Defense for example.

A few new boss battles too, one of them is a good gag.

Everybody is forgetting what the T stands for. Even some sellers think an NFT is the jpeg but its not; its more like the URL of a jpeg. Its literately the reciept of the product, not the product itself. That means the server admin could change the link to a picture of furry porn and you cant do anything.

The supposed value is supposed to come from scarcity (one of a kind jpeg lol) or previous owners. Again, youre basically buying a reciept with an autograph on it; NOT the product the reciept is for.

Edit; forgot to say T stands for token, as in "access" too something; like an arcade game.

Its 2 discs cause of cutscenes. The main game is short and sweet though, but the post game is a meaningless grind; which is a shame because without it the weapon customization doesn't really get a chance to shine.

The main gain is really good though, highly recommend. Ive probably beat it like 7 or 8 times over the past 15 years.

Naw, Tifa didn't give no fucks about Cloud as kids. When she nearly got him and Cloud killed at the mountains she didn't care that everyone blamed Cloud for it when it was her fault. The only thing she was able to do for him as kids was prolly acknowledge that they were from the same town, which goes back to my point of why she is weird as fuck for having a sudden change of heart.

Isnt the mountain thing itself a half decent reason for a change of heart? Like maybe she felt guilty ignoring this guy who risked his life for her and got blamed for it? So when he says shes leaving she wants him to save her again so she can properly thank him that time? Like it doesnt have to make complete sense shes a teenage girl (ageism & sexism intended) and shes grieving her mom AND she just woke up from a coma.

Games are supposed to be an escape from reality, why would you purposely designed a character to be flawed or realistic when you literally don't have to and you can do literally anything else instead. Make'em blue and upside down, but don't just fake woke by making the flat or fat.

It always worked this way. You never tried copy & pasting the save files on an emulator for red & blue or fire red & leaf green?

Just dont try it with yellow though. Or try it, for lulz, but keep a backup.

Been in two, both were halfassed. Like 5 members so if someone was absent then the meeting was cancelled cause they were the "treasurer" or whatever. Not that we did anything anyways.

My mom actually watched all of Death Note

Mine too but she couldn't understand I liked Powerpuff Girls unironically. Like she knows Im gay and its not as girly as the name implies but she she just couldn't comprehend. She acted like it was Strawberry Shortcake.

Radiant Historia
Enemies are on a 3x3 grid and you can push them around to attack a whole row or column. Some are big or unmovable, you can lay traps & push them on it, you can move them off barriers and buffs... And trade turns to order combos.

Why join/pay an HOA?
