Everybody keeps calling this “FOMO” but it’s really more of an instant vs. delayed gratification thing, right? FOMO is more of a social thing, you fear missing out on fun that others are having. This is mostly just, I’d rather have this thing/experience sooner, but it’ll still be there later.

As is usual with these sort of things, this probably means they have plans for their own Mario hardcore xxx game.

That’s some whitehat right there. 

If they want to make it up to their fans, they should just do another round through this nebulous raffle system they instituted. Got more Ps5's on the way? Great. Send out another round of emails to confirmed accounts that missed out last time and let us buy them instead of the resale bots! Just my humble opinion.

That’s if the bots don’t also scoop up all the Xboxen as well. Sony and the various retailers absolutely screwed the pooch on this thing, but Microsoft is depending on those exact same retailers, who have the exact same lack of controls in place to prevent it from happening again.

So specific. Where’s the fun.

All joking aside, this is probably going to go worse than PS5. Why? Because some websites (GameStop, Best Buy) couldn’t handle traffic from people who happened to notice that they were in stock / found links on Twitter. God help the sites being F5'ed before 11AM by everyone waiting.

Makes sense. At any rate, this looks way better than I was expecting, seems like they really upped their game from the first one.

how great was that tifa fight in the church though

So stepping up and using your own face and voice to apologise on behalf of an entire group of people you don’t directly manage but have to be accountable for isn’t taking responsibility? What would you suggest? Stepping down? Seppuku? I get that people were hurt, and it occurred on his company’s time and land, but I…

Its best just to shorten them for clarity.

Okay it is a terrible naming scheme but it’s really not that confusing. I find it’s just slightly less terrible than Nintendo’s “New” 3DS marketing.

OMFG!!! I bought Hyrule Warriors every time it’s been released. I’ve put probably 500 hours into the Switch one alone and I’m still not even close to being done with 100%ing the Adventure Maps. And BOTW is my favorite game of all time, in my favorite series of all time.

You bet your ass I am buying this launch day.…

While I do prefer the first, Galaxy 2 is still an exceptional game, and I’m sad it’s not part of the 3D collection.

I actually did 2B a long time ago! But took it down becuase i wasn’t happy with the quality. Been meaning to redo for a while.

I wanna know about rugs for that matter. I have one decent room with hardwoods. And its like 80% full of furniture.

Hey, can’t beat the photorealistic graphics of real life ;)

I would have literally murdered someone for this as a kid (though my dad loves Mario Kart as much as I do and would have bought it anyway).

My kids would probably wreck the karts, so it’s probably not something I’ll be buying anyhow, but I do wonder how the kart tires would handle outdoor concrete and/or asphalt. We’ve got some hard surface floors in the house, but I’d be interested in seeing what we could set up on the driveway and sidewalks outside as…

Warlords is actually pretty good and it’s on sale right now. They promised in Year 1 Pass content only for the first year (yeah, shocking, I know).

Apropos of nothing, fuck this shit, G/O
