The best part about this hot take is that Yona actually gets Sidon and Link’s relationship, and is entirely supportive of the duo. She practically has to physically drag Sidon away from his noble self-sacrifice and kick him out the door to go on a proper adventure, away from her, with the Hylian. Then after all that…

Even as an adult, sites which ask for my ID on the whole mostly get their tab closed. I’m not sure how else you’re supposed to do age verification without getting real personal about the data you collect from an individual, and that makes me deeply uncomfortable. The ability to participate somewhat anonymously kept me…

The unfortunate proliferation of the gay stereotype has done a fantastic job of hiding the rest of us that appear outwardly normal. I usually pass as “straight” without even trying, and at work frequently get surprised remarks once I talk about my significant other with unexpected pronouns. Always fun :)

I’m at a point in my life where I’d be significantly more interested in this franchise if there were some way to turn the fatalities off entirely. It’s got this great campy 90s flick vibe and some good humor and action scenes sprinkled throughout... and then occasionally we have to watch someone have their face ripped…

I learned that I was gay just about the second puberty hit. I learned that it was not acceptable when the other kids introduced me to “queer” as a derogatory term, which would have been around oh, early 2000s or so. Thankfully that’s not as much of a problem these days, but yeah, there was no media involvement here.…

I’m right there with most of Nintendo’s argument if it were, say, against Yuzu. But Dolphin primarily allows users to play games that Nintendo is no longer making available for sale. Whose creativity are we protecting, exactly, when these artists are no longer able to be paid for these works in any meaningful sense?

Maybe I’ve had my head stuck in the sand, but this is my first time hearing that “Karen” was exclusive to a particular race. When working retail, we used it to refer to especially entitled customers, the ones that would call the manager over absurd, trivial matters and waste everyone’s time. Has it gained a more…

Oh my god.

Gamecube and Wii both encode the disks backwards from a standard DVD, among other physical incompatibilities. A tiny handful of PC DVD drives can be coaxed into reading them, but for the general public, it is far simpler to run CleanRip on your Wii and make a dump that way. It’s pretty easy, I’ve done my whole…

Don’t you mean it’s rather lockpicky?

For the four legendaries that aren’t part of the main storyline, you could kick off the quest by taking the academy courses, then talking to the History professor. She’ll put all 4 shrines on your map. But to actually open the shrines you need to find all 32 stakes in the world. I’m going to try to attach the map…

The real question is, did anyone manage to archive a copy of the video while it was up?

An often overlooked feature of the Pokédex is achievements; open it up and hit X and you’ll probably get a ton of rewards from hitting completion milestones. A bunch of those are EXP candy of various sizes.

> the time counter suddenly jump from three-quarters full to under halfway, for no reason at all.

The much smoother framerate is likely a side effect of closing and re-opening the game. I noticed this when playing through the day one patch. Usually I like to sleep the software and my console between play sessions, but with Violet I noticed the framerate would get steadily worse over time, especially if I traveled…

I enjoyed Skyrim quite a bit before I found mods, but I suppose that experience is tainted; I never played any of the older Elder Scrolls games, so everything in Skyrim was new to me. I did not enjoy the skill leveling system, that’s probably the main core gameplay element I am happy to mod away.

I had one crash, some impressively low framerates, and several battles that glitched one of the Pokémon offscreen which, while visually amusing was not actually game breaking. Other than having to re-challenge a gym leader due to the aformentioned crash, I had no issues getting through the game and am currently…

I’m tentatively excited for this game the way I am with all Bethesda titles: if the core loop is any fun at all, the standard Bethesda jank should mostly be a non-issue. Besides, I’m sure there will be a healthy modding scene on the PC version.1

Maybe I’m just lucky, but I stumbled on an Eevee, Vaporeon and Sylveon out and about. Once you have any Eeveelution, bring it and a Ditto to a picnic and you’re all set to make more.
