Dread looks immaculate btw. But idk if to cop or get BDSP instead because Imma broke college boy.


And I also gotta play the old 2D Metroids.


You know what's odd though? The rumors say the Prime Trilogy will be rereleased for Prime 4, but there's no compilation for 2D Metroid. I mean, if GB online is true, we'd have Metroid 2 so what's remaining is Fusion, but Metroid is actual ass and Metroid 2 is kinda outdated as well.

Well pirating is stealng and last I check Ninty doesn't sell them anymore so techinically I'm pirating from scalpers and that's OK in my book.

Especially since scalpers don't even own the rights to the game nor are entitles to profit from it, lol.

They are on Wii U, though,

That's actually how I beat Super Metroid.

Unfortunately, I don't quite have my Wii U with me, which is a shame because I need to beat Golden Sun the Lost Age.


I do, however, have MGBA...

3DS emulation is good if your PC is good. I haven't messed with it much, but I do have AC New Leaf, so I could test it out more and get back to everyone on that.

My brother uses Citra and says it's pretty good. Pokémon players use it all the time, as do OoT 3D and MM3D players.

I am currently at the 7th rank in NMH3. I have a few more things I want to say, mostly spoiler-related and my reactions to them.

Gameplay-wise, I've had a few bugs actually. One time I was going to kill an enemy, but I literally deleted one of those large blocks in the background with my swing and it then canceled the move, leaving the alien alive. Another time I was riding my bike and I got stuck in the rocks in Thunderdome. Thankfully Travis jumps out of his bike so I escaped softlock hell. Fortunately no VFX, SFX, or any other kind of visual bugs. It is really hard not to see the hardware limitations though, I try so hard to ignore it but pic below summarizes my feelings perfectly

I figured out how to skip the EP and OP cutscenes. Still surprised they thought it was a good idea to let it play every time. I have not unlocked the ability to train Jeane yet, but I do not know if either I'm not far enough into the game to do it, or if it's only unlocked after doing the sidequest with finding their kids, or if I just am totally ****ing braindead stoopid and am missing an obvious glowing gameplay option in Travis's motel.

As much as Native and Kimmy are cool characters in their own right, and being able to have Kimmy's arc concluded for good, building up these alien bad guys with their discussions with FU, it really does build character, and then killing them off is ****ing stupid I honestly have no clue if what FU is learning from his side talks with these aliens will actually impact the story in any way. However, if it does actually result in something out of it, I'll have to say Suda did a great job at it. But I'm way more interested in the aliens and what they do based on how Sylvia presents them with their wacky abilities than time traveling swordsman and fanservice with a lightsaber.

Native Wanderer (I'm hoping I nailed his name from memory because i dont wanna google and spoil myself on something accidentally) is... meh. Time traveling close relative of Travis; not quite sure if it's directly a Future Trunks reference or just a bad coincidence. He kills your ranked alien for that fight, something that doesn't really happen in the series until one of the halfway point bosses. His fight is literally just a tutorial where the game hand-feeds you three Death Chips and shows you how to use it against very weak clones (which is something he can make) who are dumb as bricks and literally cannot kill you unless you did it on purpose. While the Death Chips are really great, especially the Star Belt Death whatever the **** AoE move, that's really good, the lack of an actual boss fight makes me question why they even made it one. Was it just to save budget? Who knows.

I ran into a few of the visual novel sections that return from TSA. They're okay, but the pacing and timing of them can be off sometimes. One of them is mandatory and is right after finishing the final designated mission for #7. Now I don't know where it's leading up to since it's only been at this one instance (out of many more to come), but why did it have to be after a fast-paced segment of the game that has you force your pace to a crawl before you can actually resume the main campaign? Feels kinda silly man.

I was expecting to unlock Call of Battle after Native's fight in which you unlocked the Thunderdome world. Nope. I had to redo Perfect World's first section because the portal to Kimmy Love's fight is at a diner. I found the cutscene where they had to literally put a grain effect over the screen because the Switch was having so much trouble processing it at a high framerate. It was okay, it was one of those character development scenes for FU. Onto the fight itself, Kimmy's Love rap bit before the actual fight was awful. Her boss music is also lacking, I thought it was gonna be a somber rock thing at first but then it just became somber light sounds and that's literally it the entire track. Her boss fight felt more tedious and repetitive as it went along than hard. I liked the ending a lot though, those hand-drawn stills at the end are orgasmic.

So far, I'm still enjoying my wild ride. Even after seeing some things I don't like, what I've experienced that have hit very hard have still done it hard enough for me to be enjoying my time so far.

tbh idk whether China is just really sensitive over nearly everything or not. They don’t want Shang-Chi or Eternals cause members of those movies questioned their political and governmental ways, don’t want men that look “feminine”, only wanting 1-3 hours of gaming a week, and I think they hate Taiwan (based on Cena having to apologize for calling them a country)

idk…China just seems so damn weird to me
Click to expand...
I hate to get polítical but I'll be blunt about this China thing.

That government Is a dictatorship, say what you want about other governments but the Chinese one IS a dictatorship, anything That the leaders deem a threat to them has to go. It's the reason they are so insistent on taking control of Taiwan and Hong Kong. Because they want to have all of asia under the Chinese flag.

I dont know How much of it's citizens agree on this but when you research How the countries government Is run Thats the one conclusión you come to.

Now i Will drop this subject because it Will get me banned if i explained any further.

Hey y'all. I know my leave was rather abrupt and may have confused some of y'all, so let me fill y'all in.


Truth is, I was not in a good mental state, and this site was a huge contributor to that. I relied on this site way too damn much, to the point that I couldn't sleep at an adequate time because I was too busy checking it in bed. Truth is, I gotten way too attached to the likes, to attached to trying so hard to make you guys laugh, make sure people noticed me and that drained me way too much. I realized this, and thus I made my plan to leave for a bit after Noipoi Noipoi posted the final heist. I know I posted on Friday, but was only to share 2 images. I didn't ise it for the rest of the day. I just wanted to restrain myself from overutilizing this site as it often interfered with my schedule.


I know nobody asked, but I am mentally better now. I'm not gonna put myself in harms way (nor was I ever). I just wanted to update y'all that I am ok and why I took some time off this site (even if it was for 2 days).


So when will I return? Well, I made the promise to not return until today, but if I catch myself checking this site ever 5 minutes like I did, I'm back off this site until I learn my lesson.

Make alot of sense, it's better not let any kind of social media take too much of your time & mind, no matter at how much you like it, it ain't healthy in the long run.

Take things at your own pace, mate.

Well I cracked a tooth again and can't go back to the dentist until my four teeth are taken out..........................which won't be for another month.

That sucks.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Also quick game pitch:

Also I'm not one to do game pitches but after playing Tales of Arise for a bit it makes want a sort of Arc System Works Quad-Crossover fighting game with Namco IPs. Specifically it's Action RPGs.

Tales of - Obvious
God Eater - While some of the characters could act a bit samey, rest assured they wouldn't.
Code Vein - Not too sure...........................but vampires, waifus, Dark Souls style and Go Shiina music.
Scarlet Nexus - After finishing it, god does this game have so much more potential in it's universe.


Then have a character from .hack, Yoshimitsu from Soul Calibur, KOS-MOS from Xenosaga and Summon Night.

Like man I really, really want this now.

It’s only just now hitting me, but I’m getting close to the end of the season and I’m about to be unemployed.


I really need to ramp up my job hunt and start seriously talking to my principal about getting my schedule changed....

You know, I'm gonna sound like a baby here, but damn how did y'all survive without the internet?


That is used for damn near everything now, I mean my gen was pretty much the first one to grow up with the internet being a major factor in development to the point where I can't imagine life without it.

My parents restricted my internet usage, but in short, half an hour of DS a day and a ****load of toys.


I dunno how I made it either.

My parents tried to limit my internet usage, but being the little **** I was, I found countless ways around their filters. I spent more time devising clever ways around their blocks than I actually spent playing at times.

One time I even hard reset a computer just so I could play on it at night, and to this day I’m not sure if they ever even noticed 🤫

Ouch...also, are those 4 teeth that need to be extracted Wisdom Teeth? I do really hope that everything can get solved soon because as someone that has had plenty of dental procedures done one after another, I know it's not fun.

I originally was planning to get the Scooby-Doo! Meets Courage the Cowardly Dog movie as a digital rental but now I've decided buying it as a physical DVD instead.

One reason being I have many errands after work on its launch day and Best Buy happens to be in that path.
