I’m on that Yak 0, and a bit of Dragon Quest 8 here and there. Tryin to avoid the arcade and multiplayer games I usually play for a quick session that ends up being hours, as the Hardcore Holiday that is Q1 2017 is relentless.

You sound like “one of the good ones”, but how long until they cut your hours?

My only interest in this game comes frome the excellent Digimonstory Cybersleuth. I’m getting the feeling this is an easy ‘pass’.

Who was oppressed in Libya? Businessmen trying open a McDonald’s? You don’t what your talking about. Not capitualating to a neoliberal global marketplace is not oppression.

Aboslutely, except I would say it’s ‘often’ rooted in race. Poor whites face the same systemic violence, but are coerced into acting against thier own self-interest - especially regarding participating in racism against people they have more in common with as far as aany actual uthority is concerned.

If you’re not learning anything after playing for hours, that’s not really Dark Souls fault, and certainly not “obvious lie” fodder. Boo that joke.

That’s flood lighting from the photographers.

Colin Quinn (off all people) deftly illustrated the difference between predjudice and racism in his off-Broadway show “The New York Story”: you can be prejudice and not racist. I other words, you don’t have to like anybody (personal) to treat them fairly (systemic).

I’m a disgustingly lefty leftist, but I agree with everything you just said. So there.

That’s Ana, bro. #rtfm

It’s funny, but rather than ooening people’s minds to the viability of characters and playstyles at different skill levels, it just encourages more lone wolf behavior. Stubborn people think thry’re gunna be DSPStanky and Seagull or whoever and carry teams.

Those “a**holes” are your TEAMMATES. That attitude is just as much a part of the problem!

Being silent in chat is tantamount to ignoring people in real life. That’s rude, and in a game where you’re meant to work as a team, that’s pretty hostile; when you refuse to change with the team and communicate it’s straight passive-aggressive behavior. So yeah, chat abuse, griefing, whatever.

So wait, Ds games do or don’t sleep in 3DS? I was gonna ask you if we wanted to get gritty to test sleep mode on 3DS with a DS game vs a DS.

When I said “dies in a couple hours”, I referring to 3DS sleep mode, which is terrible, especially compared to Vita.

Playing DS games on 3DS is far from ideal, especially games that feature gameplay on both screens like Contra 4. I never had hinge problems on my DSLite, but I do remember lots of people complaining so fair enough. DSi was, save the loss of the GBA slot, impeccable.

Library to library, battery life, system and game prices at release, form factor and portability: far from impossible to make a case.

I dunno man, I’m excited about it. I wouldn’t be surprised if single-player is essentially Punch-Out!, the developers mentioned it has a higher skill ceiling than it seems, and I love the character designs - Little Mac is about as generic as a protagonist can get.

Honestly, Nintendo makes a better underdog. NES, SNES (to a degree), Gamecube, Wii, and the DS (kinda) all came from a Nintendo decidely not on top. King Nintendo gave us the Game Boy Color, SNES CD-ROM, N64 (debatably a rough system to own despite it’s many masterpieces), Virtual Boy, 3DS, and WiiU.

DS > 3DS. It is known.
