Speaking of which, y'all seen that NFT cartoon?

It's ****ing terrible. And not in the so bad it's good, I mean it's genuinely ****ing terrible.

 

[Z25]

Also something else I found odd, is near the end of Spiderman:

Spoiler: no way home

Spoiler

Its weird that Aunt May is not buried at all in the same cemetery as uncle Ben. I wonder why that is. Maybe he’s still alive and this uncle Ben is actually very disconnected to his family? Could be very interesting, because outside of what if, we didn’t hear Peter talk about uncle Ben in this. Which feels like a retcon of what if.

Either way, that’s a very interesting omission.

My favorite monkey Pokemon

Hate waking up after 1 PM

Nothing against that game but man, it really rotted some people's brains.

Btw, Wind Waker clears

 

[Pokelego999]

So a couple years back I caught a triad of Shiny Eevee on its Community Day to evolve into Glaceon, Leafeon, and Sylveon's shinies when they released. I evolved the first two, leaving behind the weakest (Under 200 CP) for Sylveon duties. Another year or two goes by, and bam, Sylveon is released, and I evolve him. Throughout this year, I've been slowly powering him up and making him stronger, and now...

He is maxed out, has the strongest moveset he can have, and is my strongest Fairy type. May have taken three years, but he's come a long way.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Normally I'm not much of a Go player but I needed a break from work so I requested this weekend off.

Gonna take my puppy on a really long walk and hopefully catch some shinies along the way.

And I'll probably ditch this atrocious avatar when I get back.

PokeTwitter arguing over EXP share again.

And it's all because of TemTem.

I think it’s time I took a short break from this thread, I got a lot on my plate already and I don’t need this **** stressing me out too

I'll miss ya, but I totally understand the need for a break. Using places like this should be fun, not stressful; Don't push yourself.

Buddy I played SMT Nocturne and jesus **** I hate EXP not being given to the entire party, we thought that made the games harder but no it just means more ****ing grinding, padding isn't challenge

For all intensive purposes, yeah they still aren’t recovering and if this new variant gets bad, they certainly won’t recover, at least any time soon.

The only movies that have been able to survive in a post COVID world are ones from big name studios. If your a smaller scaled project, you likely haven’t had much of a chance.

 

[Schnee117]

Some friends and I are doing a thing where we pick our 5 favourite game ost of all time and then rate them. Unfortunately I'm sitting here without a clue as to what I should put.

What game songs do you guys like?

Bloodborne's is excellent all around
Killer Instinct 2013 has a fantastic soundtrack overall too
Doom 2016 is great
Yakuza as a whole is really damn good
Devil May Cry is good for motivation
Castlevania is always great
Guilty Gear is really good
I love God Eater's as well

But Halo will always and forever be the king for me

Yes every word above is a separate track : )

PokeTwitter arguing over EXP share again.

It should begin and end at "Please make it something you can toggle on and off before you start and anytime during the game"

These are the same people that would argue Majora 3DS is bad because you can actually save your progress and not be forced to lose your current save whenever you reload it.

People really don't get that archaic/questionable design choices =/= harder game, it just makes the game feel bad IMO.

EDIT: That said, a toggle feature would be the best solution.

 

[Noipoi]

There really should be en exp toggle.

But

I really like not having to grind

But grinding can lead to shiny Pokémon, which is pretty the still.

Fact still remains there is still interest in theaters.

Also what about movies like Nobody, A Quiet Place Part II and all that? Those are smaller-scale projects yet did relatively rather well. Same with fan-favorites like John Wick given the fourth movie next year.

 

[TheMightyP]

Tbh, there should be a toggle, but the okd games were pretty ****ing bad with how grindy they got, especially 2 and 4.

Those all were simultaneously on streaming. Also while Nobody didn’t do bad, it absolutely would have made way more money ore pandemic. In terms of post, it still made a lower amount than it realistically should.

Streaming played a massive part of these movies making money. Which is why those theater numbers are still very different from what they would be pre pandemic.

Spiderman is theater exclusive, and being hyped up to endgame levels of hype. Which it certainly deserves and delivers on. With all the rumors and crazy ideas about this film, people were finally excited for what seemed to be the first truly major standout marvel film since endgame to most audiences. If it was also on Disney + at release, I truly wonder how much of a difference the theater numbers would have.

I don’t disagree that there’s interest, but I think it’s a very different interest then It used to be.

Apparently they had it premiere in Dubai for a reason

that reason was literally tax evasion

also, those spelling errors… bruh

Oh look, the same old discussion again. To be blunt, with how much you guys like to dunk on twitter, you sure also like to bring it in here and regurgitate the same old over and over again.
I've already been less and less active, maybe it's time for me to take a break as currently this place just doesn't feel fun to me anymore, but more like twitter 2.0.

Buddy I played SMT Nocturne and jesus **** I hate EXP not being given to the entire party, we thought that made the games harder but no it just means more ****ing grinding, padding isn't challenge

Except there are valid reasons not wanting to have a forced EXP share in Pokemon, unlike many other RPGs.

Tbf there's literally nothing else to talk about gaming wise, at least on Nintendo's side.

 

[Þe 1 → Way]

I don’t understand why EXP Share isn’t a toggle, surely it isn’t that hard to code. If Masochists want to play with it off, let them. If people want to over level easier with it on, let them.

This really shouldn’t be a discussion imo.

TBH I just poke fun at social media in general.

People can have different opinions, that's fine with me, but it's a matter of how its expressed.

The way those opinions are expressed, however, is where the shenanigans come in. It's really hard for me to listen seriously to someone's gripes with a product/work of art when they tend to put it out there so...Dramatically, for lack of a better word.

Posts like yours here, though, are definitely refreshing from the norm when you're just calmly and rationally stating your opinion on something. I respect that.

That said, I ain't against an EXP share toggle, but it doesn't ruin anything for me personally. To each their own.

May I ask what those reasons are? Genuinely curious

 

[TheMightyP]

I mean, Taigiry's right, I have been rehashing the same **** over and over, but again, what is there to talk about in gaming? All the big releases are done, TGAs were a ****show as usual, and the next major release for Nintendo is Pokemon yet again.

So I guess the moral of the story here is that we're due for a Nintendo direct. Which is why I got in contact with a source, the next Direct will be soon. Possibly next week. Or month. Or year.

My source did not confirm or deny any info on the contents. Leakbait he says. The Direct is happening though. Expect an announcement soon

There was a problem fetching the tweet

No, wait until my reputation get a little shakey (2 incorrect leaks) and then y'all can start the doxxing.

You need it.

I think now would be a bit of a good time to take one honestly.

Nono, to keep it true to the source material you have to do it yourself
