After the nasty weather I’ve been dealing with lately, it’s nice to finally have a nice sunny day to work in. This is the only cloud I’m willing to deal with today:

I wonder why dogs look cute doing literally anything.

I guess it's just the way they look in general

 

[ZephyrZ]

I wonder why dogs look cute doing literally anything.

It's because of science.

Cuter wolves were able to get more food from humans. This gave cuter ones an edge when they lived alsongside humans, so que thousands of years of artificial and natural selection and viola, your is now an .

I'm sure the second session of Ninjala beta test will run much more smoothly.

But I loved what I got to play in the first go around.

Reminds me of when I bough a PS4 just to play Kingdom hearts and just stumbled into Persona 5 by chance.

Good times.

Splurged??? Bruh that's gotta be an even $300 - $500

Splurged??? Bruh that's gotta be an even $300 - $500

For the first time in years, my finances are on the up. I decided to celebrate a bit.

300 for the PS4
50 for Royal (thanks for either selling the game for the wrong price or on sale Walmart!)
30 for KH3
60 each (180) for Dragon Quest, Astral Chain, and Fire Emblem

Then I also bought the KH 1.5 + 2.5 HD Collection on sale on PS4 (20)

$580 total.

What are you thinking in terms of a Ninjala character in Smash? Which attacks do what, etc. I figured they could do all (or most) of the game’s playable characters BJ style.

Damn dude! That's a lotta money. Also Astral Chain. Friend of true culture.

Then again I am the person who bought a Switch just outta nowhere as well. And kept the tradition of getting it with a new Super Mario game. Pic from 2017.

Takes me back. I remember wanting to get the Switch before Xenoblade 2 came out otherwise it would have been a massive problem with my brother.
Take me back to 2017, just without the mental breakdown.

Yeah I'm bored. You guys post of when you got your consoles.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

woe look at all these rich people

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Went to my place to do more work as usual then watched more Castlevania. What have I been missing?

 

[KillerCage]

Alright. Got into the Ninjala Beta. Played one match, and now I'm having connection issues. Thanks NSO.

So far got into one match of Ninjala. Pretty fun.

But now I'm being bombarded with connection errors.

manged to get through one round of Ninjala before what I assume is a server overload

From what I've played, pretty fun

honestly, it's not as Splatoon-y as you'd initially presume

So how was our time with Ninjala?
I had a fun time... WHEN I WASN'T BEING DENIED ACCESS!

 

[Capybara Gaming]

Rich is debatable

But yeah

Not gonna stop me from playing AC everyday tho x3

I remember when I got my Switch, it was a birthday present and I got it with Pollen and Street fighter 2.

I haven't touched street fighter 2 since I got the anniversary collection and moved to playing Alpha 3.

Come to think of it all my consoles were gifts, technically even my PS4, I bought it myself but it was with inheritance money from a dead relative

I didn’t know that you had the game! We should play together sometime.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

So how was our time with Ninjala?
I had a fun time... WHEN I WASN'T BEING DENIED ACCESS!

I played a single match and I came in third. I’d say it’s really fun. The camera was kind of obscene but I probably should have set it to automatic instead of manual. It’s simpler then I thought it would be too, maybe just because I didn’t have time to unlock anything.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Today, I learned that this is an actual item in Animal Crossing.

I got no games with my Switch until a day later...didn't care cause I was too busy being hyped over such an early graduation gift

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

Time matured me with money. 2020 care with money was very different than back then.

2017 I bought like 60 games or so and a console, something crazy like that. I'm serious.

2019 only about 10 games.

Also at the point where few things are impressing me to say the least games wise.

 

[Deleted member]

so I think I'm gonna drop one piece.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

So how was our time with Ninjala?
I had a fun time... WHEN I WASN'T BEING DENIED ACCESS!

It's actually really fun. Depending on how they implement it's "free-to-play" mechanics, I can totally see myself spend hours with it

Looking forward to the full release, assuming they work out the servers in time (That is the reason they run these beta tests tho, so I'd assume they will by then)

I was able to get a few more matches in before the servers implored for good.
I even got in first place in the last match.

There's definitely great moveset potential that could come from one of them. The katana, bubble gum, and yo-yo would be good choices.

As for it actually happening? I better not keep my hopes too high.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Once I settle in my new place, there's quite a few movies I've been wanting to watch again and been in the mood for.

Heisei Gamera Trilogy, Reign of Fire, Rampage, The Meg, Kong: Skull Island are among those.

Guess its an means to continue keeping myself patient until Godzilla vs. Kong comes out I propose...

While we're on the topic of movies, AMC is not gonna be showing Universal movies for a while due to Universal releasing "Trolls: World Tour" for digital rental and theaters at the same time.

On the other hand too Scoob! has been now resorted to video-on-demand from its theatrical release.

Yeah I'm bored. You guys post of when you got your consoles.

I bought my Switch in early April of 2017 with Breath of the Wild and then I picked up Mario Kart 8 Deluxe a few weeks later. That year was pretty light with substantial first party releases for the longest time, but it gave me a reason to experiment a little more with games like ARMS, Splatoon 2 (not a huge fan of it, though), and Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

I bought my Switch for the sole reason that my Wii U version of Breath of the Wild was unplayable

One of these days, I'm going to sit down and beat Ocarina of Time. Every time I try, I keep getting stuck somewhere - usually the Water Temple or the Spirit Temple. (I know that the 3DS version makes the Water Temple easier, but I already have the game on the Gamecube) I'll stick to a guide for the Water Temple if need be (not sure if it's actually possible to make the Water Temple unwinnable, or if you have to use keys in a very specific order to progress, but it's better to be safe than sorry) and see how it goes over the next few days.

Also, I watched the first two episodes of the 90's X-Men animated series today, along with a bit of the third. Good stuff, though Professor X and Magneto sound VERY different compared to what I'm used to.

Ocarina of Time is like the easiest and most beginner friendly Zelda aside from maybe Wind Waker. Also I'm pretty sure you can't get stuck in Water Temple but there's an easy to miss part because of the way one of the cutscenes work.

It's impossible to make the Water Temple unbeatable. If you get stuck here's a hint (in spoilers):

In the center room where you play Zelda's Lullaby to raise the water level to medium, try looking underneath a block that held the door you came through initially.

Good luck when you get to it.

I feel like the Water Temple just intimidates me because of the reputation that it had when I first played it. I had a similar experience with the Test of Strength in Star Fox Adventures - as a kid, it was so tough that I needed to look up how to mash the buttons quickly enough using an unusual method, but replaying the game later, that segment was hilariously easy.

Still, the only 3D Zelda games that I've beaten are Majora's Mask and Breath of the Wild, so I want to expand on that list. (I've seen my brother or cousins beat the other 3D games, which killed my motivation to play them for a while)

Okay. Nitpick I know. But why is Mushroom Kingdom 2 not called Subcon? That’s clearly what it’s based on.

Because, unlike Xenoblade Chronicles, Sakurai deeply cares about the secrecy of Mario spoilers.
