return to your roots: use notepad

Hey OP you forgot to include the Silksong announcement that definitely totally happened 🤡

Maybe it’s just me, but I liked Little Inferno much better. But I’m still excited for World of Goo 2, very excited for what they’re cooking.

tfw half life 1 gets an update before team fortress 2 does

In all seriousness, very excited to hop in and see what’s new, I’ve never had the opportunity to play some of this content.

This is true, but the slight difference is that the WiiU extremely undersold. A significant number of people who own a Switch did not own a WiiU-- I myself did own a WiiU, and was bummed to not be able to play Mario Maker, Splatoon, Mario Kart 8, 3D World, and so on… but most of my complaints were met with re-releases and sequels. I can’t say I entirely disagree with the decision, again since the WiiU was a major flop, but it would have been nice to have my WiiU library brought over. But for most people, they didn’t care. I mean, MK8D sold more copies than the WiiU itself.

But this is a different ball game. The Switch is a success. Many people own a Switch. The Legend of Zelda games on Switch are among the highest rated video games in history. If this catalog is lost when transferring to the next console, Nintendo would absolutely be shooting themselves in the foot. Historically, Nintendo is somewhat on board with backwards compatibility, but not always, so we’ll see.

Kinda gives me suspicions that the next console won’t be backwards compatible. They couldn’t market another Mario Kart, or Smash Brothers while I’m at it, if you could just play the old one… unless it’s a significant upgrade.

I sure hope the next console is backwards compatible, or I aint buying it.

I think it falls into the same pitfalls as most super niche communities, like a lot of subreddits did.

For example, the shaving subreddit (/r/wicked_edge I think?). Its mission statement was to introduce people to cleaner, safer, and more efficient shaving methods. And for the most part, with all of its resources and wikis, it successfully did it. But if you choose to stay after you’ve made your informed purchases, the posts were mostly braggarts showing off their latest hundreds-of-dollars handles, supreme razor blades, brushes made from actual gold, that sort of thing. My point is, the average person (by my guess, like 90% of people going to the site) gets the information they need and then never participate in the community again. But those who stay are those who really want to stay– people who are most likely to brag and boast. So over time, it falls more and more into plain old dick measuring contests.

This obviously isn’t true of all communities, but I think it’s a common pitfall for a lot of them. I can imagine privacy is very similar: take all the steps you can to learn to protect your privacy, and then… you’re good, for the most part.

I don’t think Roger Craig Smith is bad, and I think it works well for the modern Boost era. Being said, Ryan Drummond will always be my Sonic.

Unfortunately, it seems Wario got the short end of the stick. Wario’s voice in the new WarioWare trailer is very noticeably different.

Previously, I had never ever seen a movie in theaters twice. If I had seen a movie once and wanted to watch it again, I could wait to buy it for myself. It just didn’t ever make much sense to me as to why anyone would watch the same movie multiple times in like a one-month time span.

And then Everything Everywhere All At Once came out, and I saw it again the week after I saw it the first time, and then I understood. What a fantastic movie.

the urge to downvote this is very strong, well done

okbuddyphd, shittymobilegameads, pizzacrimes, garfieldwithoutgarfield, just all the really stupid obscure ones that give me a chuckle browsing through.

…elaborate?

I don’t 100% understand LPPL, but I believe it qualifies under open source, but regardless if it’s open source or not, LaTeX > Word and I will die on this hill.

Terraria is like the anti-modern game. They absolutely refuse to evilly monetize their game at all. The playerbase is almost on their knees, begging them to move on from Terraria and make something else (not because Terraria is bad, but they’ve been at it for over a decade!) and they continue to churn out updates. The fanbase voted for a set of features to appear in Terraria 2, which they then turned around and scrapped, and added it as an update to Terraria. And all their updates are always free. And can’t forget about their amazing mod support.

And redigit is just, like, the man.

They remove my glass cannon build, and we take to the steets.

But I don’t think they’d change any of the core mechanics. Maybe add some side ones, like a boss rush mode, like what they added to the Mario RPG remake.

My 1-in-a-million prediction? Fast travel mechanic. Mario folds himself up into an envelope and mails himself to a town he’s already gotten a crystal star from. (Yes, I know we already have the underground pipes, just let me believe.)

I mean a widescreen, HD remaster. It being on NSO’s emulators doesn’t necessarily mean it isn’t up for being remastered, as Link’s Awakening is on GB but was also remastered.

Nintendo likely thought that fans would more appreciate a TTYD remaster than Paper Mario 64, and I know I sure do. (Not that I dislike PM64.)

This game means so much to me, I’m literally playing through with a friend right now (just got to Twilight Town last week!). I’m so absolutely excited for this game once again, and I’m glad Nintendo decided to make this step. I mean, not even Paper Mario 64 first? Bonkers. I’m thinking I’ll do a BP-only Bonetail run as soon as I get my hands on it.

The only person I can think of more excited than me is Arlo, which is a given.

THE THOUSAND YEAR DOOR HD AAAAAAAAAA
