That’s why they have goals related to high scores in the challenges that far exceed that of the ones in the career mode! You have to master the career mode, then look forward to pushing for those platinum scores. And then look forward to failing for years when trying to get the level-specific boards which require more…

What is this monstrosity of a take...

Sorry, I did already know all of this. I just didn’t explain it well enough. I was saying that this is a good change because the pool of games that can be chosen is already so small. People who play enough will already know them like the back of their hand. And I think that kind of takes away from the experience in a…

When I heard the concept of the game, playing the same small selection of a small pool of minigames, I just assumed this was already a thing. It confused me that they wouldn’t already implement some form of randomization or something to switch things up on subsequent playthroughs.

Not sure why this wasn’t already the…

Omg, finally someone else that remembers Downhill Domination, let alone actually reveres it. It’s such an underrated gem from the PS2. I love it. Descenders didn’t scratch the itch for it at all. This looks much more in line with what I’m hoping for!

Now all you need is to know and love Whacked! from the original…

It was a misunderstanding, I guess.

“...couldn’t tell it’s a mask from afar and juts looked like a disfigured person not wearing a mask (two reasons to stay away).”

It sounds like you’re saying there are two reasons to avoid a person in that scenario: if they’re not wearing a mask, or if they’re disfigured. Like those are the 2 reasons you mentioned for…

Not a big fan of the implication in your message that someone should be avoided for being disfigured...

I know Super Mario 3D World and Kirby and the Rainbow Curse are the ones I have been pining for. 3D World is my favorite Mario game of all-time. I never expected Pikmin 3 to get released on Switch, so now there’s like no excuse for 3D World’s absence!

I know there was that 35th Anniversary Mario leak that claimed we’d…

They actually make you press a button to do the preview of the spider. So they sort of thought of that scenario. But how would the person know what they’re doing with the slider if they’re not looking at that preview.... hm....

You make a good point.

This is an interesting option for people that really need it, but I think despite the game claiming there are no gameplay or difficulty changes, it does change the dynamic of your gameplay quite a bit. It’s harder to gauge when the spider will attack you and makes fighting them a lot more awkward. I think it would be…

Poorly worded on my part, my message remains the same:  it makes me uncomfortable when things that are meant to be innocuous are used as ammunition in serious real-world matters.

I know it’s an important message, but I always feel uncomfortable when people take something meant to be innocent and kind and force politics into it. The same thing happened with Animal Crossing and the Hong Kong protests. And people using Winnie the Pooh as an analog and protest against a world leader. Etc.

It just…

Maybe I’m just not into good fashion (to the Descendants character, Evie’s chagrin), but I think these are pretty neat. They’re as good of an homage as one can expect to the original console, and at a price tag that doesn’t seem all that irrational.

The biggest issue I see is that, again these are modeled for the…

Despite the tone and silliness of the preceding article, I really was concerned about the author.  I thought maybe they really did die and this book was being posthumously released in their memory, or something.  Then I read the eggshells thing, and I was like, “Oh.... Yeah I’m dumb.”

Yeah, see I tried the free-feeding thing with my cat and she gained weight super fast. I think the free-feeding makes sense for outdoor cats that are highly active, but my cat and other indoor cats of similar activity amount probably need to be on a schedule. It took a while on the scheduled meal diet, but she’s…

And yet Tropic Thunder remains.

I don’t understand why Robert Downey Jr. and crew get a pass for him being in blackface.  It doesn’t make sense.

That abomination was made by the equally abominable studio, Robomodo. They knew not what made the series good or how to make a Tony Hawk game that felt great. It was a glitchy, undercooked, terrible excuse for a “return to the roots” for the series. It was the worst Tony Hawk game for a while to me... and then…

I think this looks excellent. Instead of making this one look realistic and better in that sense compared to what the original tried to do, they went for a different art style, which I think looks great.

I hope that this version still has an option for Japanese voices, though.  Some people find the original game’s…

I really appreciate how nice he is to his cat.  Someone I know always calls their cat a dickhead, asshole, shitbag, gets mad them for being on the keyboard, gets mad at them for their litter trip smelling bad... basically anything the cat does that isn’t just sleeping, this person is mean.  I know it could be a lot…
