Aaaaaaaand again

Free will


What if I don't 'want' that.
Children don’t want to eat their vegetables and go to school. But we make them do it because it’s good for them.
See you say you're not cruel but that sounds like an extreme disregard for people that would rather you not do that.
Telling someone 24 hours in advance that you plan to murder them doesn't make the fact that you're gonna murder them any better.
I’m just broadening people’s horizons. I’m not actually hurting them in anyway.

And again, I can’t ACTUALLY do this.

What. Your saying I shouldn’t go out with the infinity gauntlet and mess with peoples lives?

I swear, sometimes you guys respond to this stuff like you think I can actually do it.
Because you can. Cartoons are real dude.

So we gotta make sure you don’t get the gauntlet and **** **** up.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna sail to the ends of the earth to find The Hidden World.

I was offering a method for you to relieve your curiosity without feeling bad. Your call.
Fair.

Probably would pick it up if my PC wasn’t a dinosaur that can barely run browser based games.

I wish you well on your journey. *returns to stone hunt in the outer rim of the Galaxy*

I mean beyond the obvious psychological trauma it almost certainly would hurt people
Just a hypothetical, say someone needs urgent medical care to stay alive, but suddenly they can't get the care they need because their doctor got mind-swapped with a construction worker who isn't qualified to provide for them.
It would be chaos.

Saw something a bit back about Nintendo being arrogant and having a chokehold on the industry and should step aside to grow.

To that I say: have you even payed attention to Sony? Like, no LITERALLY Playstation has outsold Nintendo hardware in all generations since its inception BUT ONE. Playstation outsold Nintendo 64, Playstation 2 outsold Gamecube, Wii sold more than PS3 because it's the WiiPlaystation 4 is outselling the ever loving HELL outta the Wii U, and it's worth seeing how the PS5 does against the Switch. If anyone is arrogant, and has a potential chokehold on the industry it's Playstation. The same company that used its clout to get timed exclusive rights on Crash this gen, was in line for TWO potential GotY winners last year, has a TON of 1st party developers like Naughty Dog, Sony Santa Monica, Sucker Punch, Bend, Guerilla Games, Media Molecule, and has the exclusive rights to Kojima Productions next game, and let's NOT FORGET has exclusive rights to a ****ING Spider-man game that sold RIDICULOUSLY well because it's Spider-man, THEN bought Insomniac who MADE that game. Comparatively to Nintendo? Nintendo has a total of two, ****ING TWO, large scale 1st party studios. Retro Studios and Monolithsoft... that's it. Anything else is in-house teams or outsourced.

Like, Nintendo has built up a nest egg because of smart business decisions and calculated releases and faith in a few properties because they EXCLUSIVELY make games. Microsoft is funding Xbox because they have basically infinite money. And Sony is using the profit from gamers to keep a multibillion dollar company afloat and using its clout in multiple industries to ensure it stays that way.

So... why does Nintendo need to step aside?

Its a general rule of body swap stories that you always have access to the original bodies memories. This is because, while the soul is swapped, their original memories are still physically built into the structure of the brain.

Snake, your lack of self awareness disturbs me immensely. We know you can’t actually do this but it’s still disturbing that you’re so willing to share these thoughts with us like we’re just supposed to accept them. Stop acting like you know what’s best for us.

What perfect timing:

Uh-oh. Alphadream (Mario & Luigi developers) has declared bankruptcy (Article is in Japanese).

In that case, say some average Joe Schmoe gets swapped into the body of a war vet. Congrats, you probably just gave that innocent person PTSD.
I really cannot see a world in which this doesn't end with billions of ****ed up people, physically and mentally.

Fair. Mother needs to get some sleep now anyway.

I should pay for premium and change my screen name to mother so that’s what you all have to call me.

I love how she can pick apart all the implications of the Thanos snap yet fails to see how her ideas can mess things up for everyone.

Does this mean no more Mario & Luigi RPGs?

Big “oof!” right there.
Japaness companies have a bad tendencies of doing this. Instead of looking for potential buyers for the company they'll just let the company go under. The way they look at it, it's just a name.

The developers at Alphadream will likely open up a new studio and keep on making games. That's just how it always is there.

So...the Tockles spirit you get awarded if you've played DQ11 or it's demo, is no lomger available by the time DQ11 launches?

Brilliant move Nintendo...

Who knows? Maybe Nintendo might save them. Either way, the Mario & Luigi RPGs are probably in limbo until AlphaDream's final fate is determined. The closure of studios happens quite a bit in the industry, but it still sucks to see a studio fall under.

They'll probably patch it in later like all Limited Time spirits.

I got a Switch super late but they eventually added the Link's Awakening spirits back in.

I would say three. The 3rd being Next Level Games, the creators of Luigi's Mansion 2 & 3, Mario Strikers, Punch Out Wii and Federation Force. Cause I think there was something about Next Level Games wanting to work exclusively with Nintendo.

Yeah but they don't OWN them. They don't even officially OWN The Pokemon Company. They're just a stock holder.

Sony OWNS all of those studios I listed.

That really sucks.

Hope we don’t have a drought of Mario RPGs.
