I will also say. I think Pokemon games would be more fun if people somehow took the common sense they have around spoilers...
And used it for pokemon!

Well, I finished Pokemon Z-A.
Genuinely, it's a great game. There are still a lot of questionably underwhelming aspects, but I still loved the active combat and how the story ramped up later on. It'd be nice to hope this is a good sign for the future of Pokemon, but after SV, I dunno man

I think its genuinely a virtue to accept that you could be wrong about anything and kill the part of yourself that needs to always be seen as correct and smarter than others on any given topic

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Between shitty news headlines and life-ruining grifts...
People on the internet are just too used to eating up the first thing they read

Star @shiverstar.bsky.social · 4d

It's understandable for people who just don't follow it, they don't know. But if I know you're playing the fuckin game, come on man

Star @shiverstar.bsky.social · 4d

It's crazy how pokemon swsh did irreparable damage to people's goodwill that it's apparently unheard of to spoiler ya shit

Wrong Organ are some of the funniest devs, let's be real. The game itself does the talking, who cares what they do with merch

Star @shiverstar.bsky.social · 4d

I think the Mouthwashing discourse is a big barrel of jack shit, but another day, another "we will tell creators what they should do with their own characters"

"The musou devs made their own survival roguelike, surely that'd be cool!" They paced it like Hades, and Hades pacing just doesn't work here!

Star @shiverstar.bsky.social · 6d

Bananza emerald rush is the only fun roguelike that satisfies my want to mash buttons.
There needs to be a musou-like one of these, because warriors abyss kinda sucked

Star @shiverstar.bsky.social · 7d

Gah, I don't wanna test my luck either. Mouse controls would push me right into buying the s2 version

Star @shiverstar.bsky.social · 7d

Wait, does Z-A actually use the mouse control?

Star @shiverstar.bsky.social · 7d

What do you M E A N Masuda had a reign of terror, and he just so happened to get shafted from directing the games CONVENIENTLY before XY finished

Star @shiverstar.bsky.social · 7d

Gamefreak mismanagement is a riot. We could already tell there was crunch and spreading a small studio out to multiple projects.
What do you MEAN pokemon games run on an indie game budget?

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

Pikmin :)

Star @shiverstar.bsky.social · 14d

Genuinely, one of the happiest things to me is how Nintendo went from Pikmin being a little niche thing to just. Shoving it everywhere. Pikmin is now one of the big IPs because they said so. Any little piece of official Pikmin recognition nowadays just makes me smile

Star @shiverstar.bsky.social · 15d

That's a nice double whammy, seeing Nintendo just dropping a cute little animation the studio made
And it subtly being more pikmin!

At this point, I think I should make a collage of the games I'm bound to shill and just tap the sign for every sale

Go figure, the company that would rather jab at twitter than give their site the same basic features as twitter... Is full of snarky cunts!

Namco is funny. Between pac-man world and Klonoa, they tapped into basically the same easygoing platformer market as Kirby.
Then they fucked both of those up till they remade the games

Last mention on crazy cartoon discourse, but it is wiiiild seeing people talk like this was a terrible blow to their community...
In the same breath they're being antisocial loonies that just assumed the worse of someone not saying the "correct" thing. Is the latter supposed to be good?
