Goodnight y’all

Goodnight, praline.

I hope you sleep well.

If a Zelda Maker happens, it will definitely be based on the 2D Top-Down Zelda games. I can't possibly imagine the manpower needed for a Zelda Maker using the 3D games.

They can manage it probably.

Disappointing how this badass music plays during the Bowser boss fight in Classic Mode only to switch back to the old and tired Giga Bowser theme from Melee in his second phase.

I think people have been overselling how easy Let's Go is. Yeah its easy but all Pokemon games are fairly easy. My Eevee was kind of overpowered earlygame but now its starting to balance out. Gym leaders especially seem about as strong as they used to in terms of team levels.

Lt.Surge is just as tough as I remember him. His Raichu 2HKOed my Paras with thunderbolt and I was left with only only one pokemon left by the time I brought him down.

Of course this could be that capturing pokemon is the easiest way to get exp in this game and I've been only catching one of each species and generally ignoring large/small ones, but still. Optional grinding being more effective doesn't bother me at all because it's optional and I don't really grind anyway.

I'm neutral on the new capture system. On one hand the motion controls feel a little finicky sometimes, but when they do work it feels like a huge improvent from the mobile app, imo. It definitely feels like there is some sort of aim assist which I think is, in this case, a good thing.

My sibling just caught two shinies without even trying.

I try, but come on!

Wikis do that all the time when they want to goof around in forums and stuff. They also use them for chat emotes, but most wikis use discords now.

I constantly see people say it gets fairly difficult from the mid towards the end game. Which isn't too surprising, that's how Kanto's always been. But movesets and some moves themselves were buffed too.

There's your problem, try using a proper wiki run by actual Splatoon fans instead

Almost all of the wikis on here are significantly better than their Wikia/Fandom/Gamepedia/whatever counterparts. Only reason Wikia gets more attention is because they can afford better SEO and stuff, but they're run by people only interested in profiteering while those wikis are run by actual fans of the games such as me.

(disclosure: I do co-own the FE wiki on there, but most FE fans I've spoken to tend to prefer our wiki over the Wikia one anyway.)

You expect us to use gamepedia when we're piss poor?

No, but I would appreciate if you use sites that are run by actual fans instead of corporate suits.

If a Zelda Maker happens, it will definitely be based on the 2D Top-Down Zelda games. I can't possibly imagine the manpower needed for a Zelda Maker using the 3D games.

I can imagine it, and I still think 2D is the way to go.

A lot of the satisfaction surrounding 3D Zelda dungeons and exploration boils down to the environments and setpieces that I'm pretty certain a Zelda Maker game couldn't properly replicate without literally becoming a game development tool rather than a level editor.

End result would probably be...unsatisfying.

This actually lines up with some quips I've heard, that the difficulty ramps up past Surge.

I'm not sure if it does or not yet - ain't there - but I think this is the most likely culprit:

Of course this could be that capturing pokemon is the easiest way to get exp in this game and I've been only catching one of each species and generally ignoring large/small ones, but still. Optional grinding being more effective doesn't bother me at all because it's optional and I don't really grind anyway.

Me neither, both counts.

But this probably will lead to us getting lit up from being underleveled long-term if the trend continues.

But we're fans just using the host domain of corporate suits?

I don't think you understand how wikia exactly works.

Using Gamepedia costs money?

 

[Z25]

I’ll probably be getting let’s go tomorrow. I debated it, but I’m actually kind of excited.

I love the graphics and there’s great quality of life changes.

The overworld having Pokémon in it is amazing and better stay for gen 8. I also love the updates to the routes and the new shiny method looks fun and I love shiny hunting.

Going to probably try for a shiny playhthrough and likely won’t use my starter.

I’ll probably start by hunting in virdian forest. Shiny bell sprout would be pretty cool if I get it. So we’ll see.

 

[Chrono.]

Oh nice, the Bowser's Castle remix was done by Koji Kondo himself.

He still hasn't lost a step.

Last time I checked it does.

I am fine with whoever comes in, but the two characters I unironically want the most are Steve and Sans.

I don't think you understand how wikia exactly works.

For what it's worth, I have had the "pleasure" of actually dealing with the higher-ups of Wikia at some point or other, and have worked with several other people who've had that same "pleasure" (including the owner of Bulbapedia, who has refused several offers from Wikia to buy Bulba out - despite the fact that Wikia already have their own Pokémon wiki, they're more than prepared to dump it and all the work people have put into it if they could get their hands on a better site).

The problem I have with Wikia is that while you might essentially run your wiki on a day-to-day basis, you never really have the final say on anything about your site (I say "your site" loosely, since you don't actually own it or anything like that, but anyway).

Let's say you want to install some extension on your site that helps with some important function or other. Can't do that unless the Wikia staff give the okay.

Want to change the layout of the site? Nope, only Wikia's layout will do because that's what makes the most ad money for them.

Want to move your site to a different server/domain/etc? Sure, but the Wikia site will still stay up, resulting in the community being split, and the old site getting all the attention from Google even while it runs out of date because the editors have all moved to the forked site.

I could go on, but this'll do for now.

FANDOM Staff can be very confusing, but most I've had to deal with are pretty punctual and forward. That one muppet chick (best way i can say her account) is definitely the one you want to hope you roll the dice on, she gets **** done.

Let's say you want to install some extension on your site that helps with some important function or other. Can't do that unless the Wikia staff give the okay.

That's half-wrong.

You need FANDOM's permission to unlock the .js functions, but not to tamper with .css functions, which do minor things like forums, fonts, and chat stuff. .js is the real tampering of the site and can be pretty harmful, it's understandable why it's locked up even to wiki owners. It is a hassle if you want to change it, though.

Want to change the layout of the site? Nope, only Wikia's layout will do because that's what makes the most ad money for them.

I don't see the issue here either because all wikis hosted by gamepedia are literally the same among each of them save for some special functions like cross-wiki linking and other stuff.

Want to move your site to a different server/domain/etc? Sure, but the Wikia site will still stay up, resulting in the community being split, and the old site getting all the attention from Google even while it runs out of date because the editors have all moved to the forked site.

They ditched the fandom domain change, it understandably flopped hard.

Fandom isn't perfect but it ain't garbage.

 

[AmericanDJ]

I have now beaten Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney -- Justice For All!
I'll post my full thoughts on the game later (as I have quite a bit of thoughts on it), but I quite enjoyed it, although not as much as the first game.
The final case was quite amazing, though (again, I'll talk more about it later).

Not at all what I'm talking about. I mean extensions in the MediaWiki sense; basically plugins that extend the functionality of the software the site runs on; JavaScript and CSS are totally different beasts with different purposes. Look at this page:
https://fireemblemwiki.org/wiki/Special:Version
The stuff listed on there is what I'm referring to. Replace Text in particular I use a ton, and I don't believe that functionality exists at all on Wikia.

Changing this stuff does obviously involve having access to the server back-end of the site, and someone who knows how this stuff works, but such people are nowhere near as uncommon as Wikia/Fandom staff would probably like you to think. You're talking to one such person right now, for example. :p My point is that getting this stuff changed involves having to go through Wikia staff, and since it involves modifying the site software (which, due to the nature of Wikia being a wiki farm, the changes would end up being largely universal across all their sites), it's much harder to get them to agree to these changes than a simple Javascript tweak.

I don't see the issue here either because all wikis hosted by gamepedia are literally the same among each of them save for some special functions like cross-wiki linking and other stuff.

I never mentioned Gamepedia at any point so I dunno why you keep bringing them up.

What I mean is, take a look at a couple of the wikis on the site I linked to. See how they almost all look totally different from each other? You can't achieve anywhere near that level of customisation on Wikia or Gamepedia, you need to have direct access to the backend of the site. Again you do need someone who knows how to do that stuff, but they do exist.

They ditched the fandom domain change, it understandably flopped hard.

That's a shame, I was rather enjoying the complete hash they were making of that. :p

Though again, that's not what I'm talking about. What I mean is, if you wanted to go from like arigarmy.wikia.com to just arigarmy.com, no matter what you do the arigarmy.wikia.com site will exist forever, only drawing visitors away from your new site, even though you've moved elsewhere and left the old site to rot.

They look like they serve the same purpose to me, the only difference is that one's listed out in hyperlinks.

I never mentioned Gamepedia at any point so I dunno why you keep bringing them up.

Because I forgot it was called Mediawiki so I just called it Gamepedia lol, my comments still apply but it's just the right name instead of the wrong one.

Maybe? Gamepedia definitely, but I argue that Fandom and Mediawiki have arguably both the same default layouts and customizable features. The only difference is that one back door needs permission to go through rather than just going ham.

I mean I'm banned from Fandom/Wikis I actually used to go to but I'll still defend it lol

So we now know who that unknown GHB is...

Spoiler: The next GHB + stats of the new units

It's Gharneff! And he got some awesome Heroes art too!

His tome Imhullu, works similar to the Skadi in Heroes, only its special effect is that it deals five damage and inflicts the "no counterattack" on foes.

Surprising we got Gharneff as the GHB in a time where we don't have another Shadow Dragon banner! I wonder what's left to represent Shadow Dragon for future GHBs...

As for some other noteworthy things to talk about, Surtr has 179 BST with with super boons in both Attack and Defense! Pretty OP...

Datamine information has also revealed of a future BHB featuring Ylgr and Helbindi.

Yeah, alongside Ylgr & Helbendi, there also appears to be battles with Laegjern & Laevateinn and Fjorm & Gunnthra. I'm rather certain that Hrid is going to be the next Legendary Hero to have his battle coincide with the other Book II character battles.

Well, in terms of Grand Hero Battles for Shadow Dragon, the only notable ones I'm thinking are Medeus, who will happen at some point considering we got Grima and Dragon Garon, and that one character who was brainwashed by Gharnef and raised Katarina, Clarisse and Legion. That said, it's not to say that we won't get any good heroes from Shadow Dragon for Grand Hero Battles, considering we got F!Robin, Navarre, Jamke, Xander, Saias and M!Kana. Maybe Cavalier Hardin?

I do use both Wikia as well as the more official wikis. The accuracy of Wikia in general is underrated, though a problem with many wikis is that they're abandoned and heavily incomplete.

So yeah, woot...
