Pokemon go basically lost me with the whole 'pay to win' set-up...

Obviously Niantic and Gamefreak wants to make money off of it, but just using the app consumes my data, so I really don't want to spend any extra money on it, just to have fun with the game...

Also I never really have enough time to commit to the game, it takes forever to get anything in the game...

Just make a Pokemon gacha game.

I can imagine how that one will turn out.
Tfw no one remembers Pokémon Duel exists.

It's the Trading Figure Game all over again. :p

This is mobile gaming in general really.

Everything is pay to win.

I haven't actually played that at all.

Didn't know it was gacha.

This is why my mobile gaming is limited to free to play Backgammon and Chess...

Which I hardly ever play anyways since I can just use the internet when I'm bored...

Tbh they should let Pokémon GO die; it served its purpose of bringing money and attracting/re-attracting people to the core games.

Users will drop it when Gen 3 comes anyway, but with the self-burn of Niantic today I don't see another Gen happening tho.

I don't think the majority of people care what happened at Pokemon Go Fest except those that attended.

News about the ****show were big; many users are upset about the overall poor handling of the app even if they didn't attend.

Even the hot discussion at r/pokemongo is about rebooting the game by Nintendo/TPCi booting Niantic and putting a new company in charge even if that means deleting all the progress of the players.

An event I didn't go to got screwed up. I honestly don't care

But I'm not letting some reddit scum reset the game when I have enough candy for a Blastoise and almost enough for an Ampharos

I haven't had any issues with warping either.
That's good, but it seems that some got warped for no reason or just minor warp. Best to tell us lay your Switch on a flat surface to see it is warped or not
I play Switch handheld for nearly all the time. Games like Splatoon I probably play it in Table top mode using grip or pro controller.

You guys do realize that the 'hardcore' Pokemon Go players that go to these conventions and things are a very small minority right? Most players just turn it on when they're just walking around. Just to have something to do.

This debacle with Go Fest isn't going to sink the game in any way. A whole lot of people still play it just to play. The Hardcore players are the ones complaining and they're the same ones who are going to play the game no matter what happens with it.

Dragon Ball Supah was sexy today.

-Hit is da man; wrecks people when necessary and saves teammates using Za Warudo.
-I ship Caulifla and Goku so hard now, she might reach SSJ3 soon.
-Base Kale still sounds like hentai.
-18 verbally owned Krillin.
-Broly confirmed non-canon.
-The Grand Priest better ask for a refound on the ring material, as the field is mostly destroyed now.
-LSSJ Kale is basically is Giga Bowser; hits hard, doesn't flinch, but still can take lots of damage.
-Jiren = kewl af

I feel ill, 2 kids in Florida filmed a man drowning. They didn't call for help, they didn't help the man who was dying, but they recorded it and laughed away that someone was dying. And they aren't suffering any consequences. This is ****ed up
That is the most ****ed up thing I've read in a while.

Saw that on the news yesterday.

Question though. They aren't being charged with not reporting a death? They clearly stated they knew the guy was dead. Is that not illegal? I know they aren't legally required to help him but if you see a dead guy, you're suppose to report it.

It is sad that it doesn't even surprise me?
I have seen that kind of **** before, and while it's not new, it's still sickening to me. They probably did this to become "famous" on the internet, and boy, they are going to become "famous" when more peoples will know about it, especially their parents.

The creator of Regular Show is working on a new show for TBS, called Close Enough, and it's about a married couple with a daughter. It's a lot like Regular Show, but it's gonna be much more adult-themed.

Because the Extra series is a lot more focused on sexy stuff than other parts of the series to the point where it doesn't take itself seriously when it comes to those parts. ESPECIALLY Extra CCC, good lord...

Anyway, one more camp week left. Than I can relax for a bit.
I guess that explains it.
I tried to take the story seriously but it's all just about the three main Servants trying to **** the Avatar while a war goes on and the entire Earth is on the brink of destruction(doesn't help there's a ****load of dialogue too). You know, kinda like FE. Now I'm just holding A through the cutscenes

The Side Stories seem to be good though so I'm gonna try to pay attention to those.

That's sort of old news I think.
I'm not interested in it tbh, kinda weird to see RS's style in an adult cartoon lol
Also, after the snowball the later seasons became, I'm not too trusting this will end up good.

As one person said before:
Karma is a *****.
'Can't wait to see what poor excuse they will resort for letting a man drowning and laughing at it.

Sounds cool.
I enjoyed Regular Show back when I was in high school. Not gonna lie, I had really low expectations for RS, but once I watched I was impressed with its clever, witty style of humor. My favorites are Muscle Man and Mordecai.

One thing I'll give Extra and Extra CCC though is that despite the focus on some sexy stuff, the characters and characterization are good. Also, Nero is portrayed much more accurately in the Extra series compared to the Septum part in Grand Order(whereas Nero's bad reputation is actually prevalent in Extra and she suffers for it while Septum does way too much sugar coating to try and make her look not so bad, to the point where even the writer for Septum regretted the way it was handled). Extra Shinji is actually an interesting character and surprisingly good in CCC, Jade Cur...I mean Anderson, is surprisingly hilarious and interesting, and Karna is awesome in CCC, which makes me sad that only Mordred's master and Kotomine Shirou are the only prevalent Red Masters in Apocrypha, cause his master in CCC really added to his character. Also, Gilgamesh on the good side due to no Grail Mud corruption or Kirei.

Also, do you remember this Top 100 Nintendo music tracks I uploaded mainly on my Twitter and SensCritique accounts daily back in 2015 before giving the Top 10 on SmashBoards as well?

If so, well I'm curious to know what changes you would make to this list, and also which music tracks would you add with games which weren't included if it was a top with more than 100 tracks?

So far, I'm loving the dialogue that doesn't involve sucking the MC's figurative ****(because it's a girl could they seriously not change the gendered titles?)
Especially the scene after Assassin's first map talking to Elizabeth on how she shouldn't call herself a Lancer because she doesn't have a spear and Eli having an existencial crisis because of it.

Also, ARTURIA GOT **** YEAH
SHE'S SO PRETTY I WANT TO PROTECT HER
SHE'S SO FUN TO PLAY AS TOO I THINK I FINALLY FOUND PERFECTION
IT'S EXCARIBAR TIME MOTHER****ERS
Oh yeah, Medusa is here now too, she's cool, I guess.

At least the mysterious VP actually pulled though instead of the kid getting scammed twice, I agree with everyone that it came off fishy as heck haha.

It really sucks that kids are getting ripped off like this. At least this scam seems easily enough avoidable by understanding that if something sounds too good to be true it probably is and not to try buying from sellers that ask to be paid in something other than money, but a lot of kids are going to be too young to know why. . .
