I always remember the mark twain classic:

“never argue with an idiot, they’ll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience”

Reincarnated as a slime really is super solid, everytime I reread or rewatch it I’m like “man… that was so good… when’s the next part coming out?”

I was just talking about this, and how frustrating and sad it is that people can’t just… have a normal conversation about enjoying things anymore.

You can’t even say “I like this, but it could be better” because you “aren’t being critical enough!”, I’m like dood… just let me enjoy my game in peace

I 100% relate to this. As the middle child I was always relegated by my birth mother (my dad didn’t like this) to be the negotiator/sibling pleaser, and as a result I often struggle to turn down “favors” for my siblings because I don’t want to upset anyone. I’ve been working on being better though

After some debating (and budget checking) I decided I’m going to get Persona 3 Reloaded for my switch 2, it’ll be my first Game Key-Card game… and I think I’m okay with it. I’ve softened on key-cards, even if I don’t prefer them

So far I’m loving everything about Pokemon ZA, but I did have one “huh!” Moment. I decide to try out the online ranked mode, you know, grind for that greninja mega stone, and entered a Z rank match (the lowest rank) and immediately got crushed by fully evolved mega Pokemon… not the games fault tbf

Got my copy of Pokemon ZA (and my free tote bag), now to “only” play a little bit before I go to sleep… only a bit I swear… maybe.

Traded in a few more old games I didn’t trade in last time because the GameStop trade in webpage listed them as “no value”, only for the employee to say “yeah, the site is wrong… a lot”

As a result I paid off the last $5 on Legends ZA and got the dlc (also a bit on age of imprisonment)

Read the NL Legends ZA review and while I mostly liked it, I was a bit more mixed on the last 1/4 of it.

They really didn’t like the city itself, which is fine, but it felt imo, like a lot of judging the game for what it wasn’t, rather than what it is, and they weighed it more than anything else

“Arby’s, we have… some meats (in tiny print: amount of meat may vary, pictures not accurate to final product, nor quality)”

Culture Crave 🍿 @culturecrave.co · 5d

Arby's is being sued for false advertising

Lawsuit alleges:

• Ads make the sandwiches appear to have 'at least 100% more meat' than they really do

• Made the meat look like rare roast beef when it is actually 'fully cooked'

Arby's lost its motion to dismiss the case

Amazing, this is very much how I feel about this, and why I keep poking fun everytime square says how “pure of a remake it is, and that’s why we didn’t add wotl stuff, but also why we did change stuff… for the “Purity”🤣🤣🤣

I would like to remind people talking about the “fun leaks”, that a leak implies that all this info “slipped” out

This info was STOLEN, bragged about it being stolen as part of a hack, and then released.

I get that admitting it was stolen makes it less “fun” to talk about, but let’s just be honest

That’s uh… ominous. Not shocking given the state the halo franchise has been for a while, but still pretty ominous

Culture Crave 🍿 @culturecrave.co · 9d

Halo veteran art director Glenn Israel exits Halo Studios with an ominous message:

"There is little more I can say for the moment, though I intend to share this particular story in its entirety when it is absolutely safe to do so next year"

Mario Kart World's definitely an overhated game. People treat it like the red headed stepchild but you can't say it's a lazy soulless product. The open world is so intricate, & with all the music, costumes, & characters, it's jam packed.

Even with lots of one way races, I appreciate the experiment.

This is super cool!

… it would be even cooler if I hadn’t already bought English language copies of both of these years ago for only a little more (thankfully) than this, but still “neat” I suppose.

Leave it to square to be— (checks Amazon history) — 5 years late for the US market

The good news is I was able to eventually move all my roms over to my new sd card, the “bad” news is because the old sd card kept crashing if I tried to move anything else, I basically have to half reset up alot of the emulators again… but it could be worse I suppose! (Also they took 2 hrs to move)

Me last week “my retroid pocket 5s micro sd is pretty full, I should get a new bigger one on sale”

Me today watching the old sd card fail over and over again to copy data off of it to be transferred

“ah, apparently I was going to need this new sd card anyways, this one appears to be dying…”

Someone pointed out this is also eventually going to make part of the whole “rival” mechanics a lot lamer unless you only play as Sonic characters, since part of the fun of that even according to sega is the characters talking trash to each other

drag00nnight.bsky.social @drag00nnight.bsky.social · 10d

Holy crap, I didn’t realize even the paid dlc characters in Sonic crossworlds wouldn’t have Voice lines…
Like… your selling those sega, for money, that could pay for VAs and writers to make even just a Couple of lines…

See what makes this extra funny is according to Pikmin bloom, without a phone regular humans can’t even see Pikmin, so you being the only to actually see them without one would make you seem extra crazy

While I’m hoping for a switch 2 announcement, knowing atlus they will announce “Metaphor ReFantazio Recount” the “enhanced edition to the beloved game you all loved and adored— what? Upgrade path? No no, it’s simply impossible to add this content to the base game, it will be a full priced release!”
