May as well put electricity and a mortgage/rent in then with that logic

Too much faith is given to YouTubers. People seem to think because they have a large following and a video editor that they know what they're on about.

At the very least the people doing it are getting roasted more on the other place than I have ever seen them.

In the past I've felt annoyed & dejected when it happens, but this time seeing so many stick up for me and telling them to pipe down...maybe nature is healing

Why would you say that :(

It is nice that on here I don't have people randomly calling me a shill for noting that there's an icon to indicate that you can enter a building in Legends Z-A or that a file size of a game is not indicative of quality.

Very nice

If it's too big it's bad.
If it's too small then the game doesn't have content.

Crazy arguments everywhere

I had people insist to me that Wii U wasn't "next gen" when its launch games were like 2GB

Joe Merrick @joemerrick.bsky.social · 1d

Seeing people make judgments based on a game's file size is absolutely nuts.

Like, Nintendo are known to have crazy good compression.

You know, games don't need to be 100GB+ for it to be worth it.

Ahhh it only downloaded the patch alongside the update data, the game itself hasn't downloaded

Patch is 3.6GB but will see how the total goes later when my eshop pre-order loads

It's actually funny, my eShop pre-order hasn't actually processed yet, but I got a code for the DLC from another store (for £5 cheaper) and redeeming it preloaded the Switch 1 version of the game

It'll update later today I'm sure haha

So in case you didn't see, the Pokémon Center put the special My Friend Malamar plush & box up for purchase

I know a few of you wanted it so go quickly!

Joe Merrick @joemerrick.bsky.social · Sep 5

Just received a lovely package from The Pokémon Company International celebrating my friend Malamar!

Really looking forward to seeing this video on Wednesday. Malamar has frequently been a mainstay of my VGC teams

Thanks TPCi!
