Duran's shields don't carry a "block" stat or add defense, they instead give him evasion. This was pretty common in older games. Why add an extra stat and calculation in battle, when you can repurpose another one?

Thank you, Nintendo, for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 because it led to the amazing review by Jason Schreier and the fun times of sorting through the comments for entertainment!

The one with the shooting stars is probably my favorite. It’s a perfect combination of Labo’s simplicity with some out of the box thinking (pun intended).

I think you meant to say “ice boat”

You’d be surprised. Some of the best memories I have are of LAN centers in the early 00s. They were dark and grimy, but at the end of the day, it is a bunch of people with a common interest getting together to play games and having a blast. There’s plenty of socializing after matches and on breaks and whatnot. People…

You mean some sort of device that would let you instantly Switch between the two modes?

Careful with that misinformation. Not all Cadian troopers come equipped with flashlights. Gotta ration that shit out.

Will try to learn it again. But what especially intimidates me is, yeah, the Kinsect Harvest; I can get used to all that launching and dashing, but learning when to use the various kinsects is what makes the IG seemingly confusing.

Less brave and more not a complete idiot who can turn a screwdriver. It really is just as simple as legos at this point. The only hard part will be plugging in your control cables to the mobo from the front of the case. Just because they are small and the damn manual can be a prick about showing the layout. But.. the…

It was changed in July or so. Nowadays you only get repeats if you already have all items of whatever rarity your loot box rolled.

Splatoon makes no sense?

Look at Mr FancyPants over here, having a washing machine in their apartment as well as a bathroom.... Man I miss not having to pay $5.00 to do laundry, someday I guess... Someday. :D

I mean, it seems Marvel has proven they can make bank with both formulas, not sure why they would start sticking to one at this point. I do not think the upcoming Black Panther would work well as a comedy, but the Thor movies were in DIRE need of a shake-up. I don’t see them turning Infinity War into a comedy but I…

Do you absolutely need both Joycons for motion controls? If not, consider detaching only one Joycon and shaking that one instead.

I wasn’t entirely sure how I’d feel about this game, but after a few hours I was taken right back to when I sunk hours upon hours into Samurai Warriors: Chronicles. Something about portability combined with button mashing and micromanagement is really addictive to me.

I know this is only tangentially related, but I’ve been playing Tokyo Mirage Sessions recently and am in the final chapter. It is a Very Good Game.

Once again, my answer is the same. I have one myself (under the name Secret of Mana 2). There’s a high quality fan translation patch out, so just get a repro that uses it and you are good to go.

Kids today. Back in the day, our ping was over 500 and the number of Pokemon under 152, not the other way around. And we we were happy like that.

Ok ok let me try to brighten the room here.
