Wouldn’t You Like To Know?
I got a Switch Eshop card and can’t decide what I should get. I’m debating between getting Samus Returns for my 3DS or Prime Trilogy for my Wii U.

I have played Prime but that was around ~5 years ago and it is half the price of Samus Returns. Samus Returns on the other hand is a completely new experience and gives me a reason to keep using my 3DS aside from SMTIV.

Oh yeah, BTW:

Use this to fix the port, 'cause it's stinky poo poo bad if you try to play it vanilla, lol. It's based on the bad Xbox 360 Arcade port.

The installer converts it into the old PC version, which is fully modable AND still allows full compatability with Steam Achievements and other Steam stuff. :nifty:

For Christmas, I got some nice shirts and pants, pretty neat pokemon pajamas.

I also got an

-extra ps5 controller and carry bag

-Shinning Pearl

-A booster box for Fusion Strike( where I got some cool cards like the full mew alt art, and Genesect)

My mom also got for my family so exercise things like this boxing thing called Fight camp. Since we wanted to focus on working out more in the new year.

So overall pretty great Christmas! Time to shiny hunt Turtwig in BDSP.

So uh

I know everyone else is celebrating Christmas and all that stuff but

Since there's at least a couple of people here who do creative writing, does anyone have any tips for worldbuilding? I've been trying to research some history to base my settings on something (long story), but it was super unfocused and I ended up putting that on hiatus

What I like to do is imagine what an average day is for an average person in this world. Just a guy tryna make a living, or a kid going to school (if there is a school), or something. Y’know?

How do the unique properties of this world effect that process? How does the culture reflect ours?

This obviously isn’t the answer to all world building problems, but it’s an exercise I find helps me form time to time.

I died more times here than I did in SwSh, and I didn't even get my first badge 💀💀💀
Game is legit hard at some parts TBH.

Only reason I've been able to coast is 'cause I got a little overleveled while doing Grand Underground stuff, but yeah if you're at level then this game is honestly kinda brutal sometimes when the RNG hates you.

Nuzlockes are gonna be terrifying lol.

Ok so I'm having a problem. I made a Nintendo Account on my phone, but when I try to link said account to my Switch, it says something along the lines of "Can't add this account because it hasn't been used on a Nintendo Switch before." Like, what the **** does that mean? Can someone help me here?

The eShop is down ATM so you might be having issues 'cause of that.

Ah yes a gift card and an eshop card. Code word for "I dont know you well enough to research what would make a good gift so here yago." lol

Did anyone watch the Scott the woz christmas special this year? Might be my favorite one he's done.
At least they weren't Amazon gift cards.
Also my copy of P5 Strikers actually works on my Switch.
I was worried that my copy wouldn't work on it due to being from Europe (indicated by the PEGI rating on the case.)

Also my family and I just finished watching "The Muppet Christmas Carol."
MAN! Does that movie hold up after nearly 30 years.
I think we're watching Encanto after dinner tonight.

I'm surprised How many people dont know How región free the Switch Is, you can ever buy digital stuff on there from other regiones if you know How to make separarte Nintendo accounts.

A good chunk of the games i got this year for my Switch we're from other countries, either because it's sometimes cheaper or because other regiones have physical editions of otherwise digital only titles or in the case of the Yokai watch remaster or the robot wars series they just dont exist on the American store at all and i want to play them

They should join Sonic fandom instead.

Why have fun when you can don't?
I'mma be real, whenever I see the rare Sonic enjoyer that's just having a good time and liking the ones they like and just not caring about the ones they don't is legit a bizarre thing for me to witness.

A welcome one, but holy crud it's weird and uncommon.

Aka one of the best thing I could have got for this christmas.

I'm not into horror, but Omori intrigues me.

...How spook is it? I wouldn't probably play it until like, the Steam summer sale next year, but I'm curious. 👀
Hmmm


It's kinda hard to say admitelly, the horror is more due to handling some realllyyyyyyy touchy subject , on top of imagery that can get really uncanney/weird if you don't expect it.

Most of the game tho is very bright, colorful & funny. Which I say work for it since the horror moment hit you harder when you least expect it, but don't expect it like some constant horror mind**** or the like. It's a slow descent if you prefer.

eDIT: Btw if you play it one day, if you can, lemme know! Gotta hear what a Oneshot enjoyer had to say about a game I cherish,
