So the next raid event is a rerun of Walking Wake and Iron Leaves, starting from May 1st to the 14th.

I swear to god that’s when HOME support drops.

Jimmy Olsen is confirmed to be appearing in Superman Legacy. (hopefully his portrayal here is better than in Batman v. Superman, where he wasn't named outside of the extended cut and executed after a single scene)

Also, pre-production's started on that movie; it'll be nice to have an optimistic portrayal of Superman again. (I liked Henry Cavill in the role, but he wasn't given great material to work with)

Some dude made ransomware a while back, got arrested, jailed, and now owes Nintendo like 20% of his income for the rest of his life.

Now he wasn't at all a good person given that, again, he sold ransomware and manually brick consoles, but idk that punishment is pretty damn ridiculous. Just corporations being corporations

At least when we give nintendo 20% of our income for the rest of our lives we get a product or service in return.

Yeah, but something people gotta remember that they aren't the first nor last company to do something like this. Valve did something like that in 2003, Take Two is abusing the **** out of it, Bungie is doing million dollar lawsuits for cheaters in Destiny (which people defend for some reason), and tons more.

Capitalism bad or something, idk

New update for Scarlet and Violet tomorrow, where the Walking Wake and Iron Leaves Tera Raid Battles make a second go around in response to those who did it last time on v1.1 which lead them to a bad egg battle by mistake.

An interesting detail about the international version of Genesis Switch Online is that Pulseman listed 2009 as its release year, in reference to its first international release via Wii Virtual Console.

There's also the option to buy them individually; you could just buy the games that you're interested in, or get them one at a time so it's spread out.

You miss the fact he was charged with this before in 2008 apparently

So this is his 2nd time, multiple offender

So Rift of the NecroDancer was shown off in the Indie Direct and the Godzilla vs Kong sequel was given a teaser.

Based on the fact both franchises received Pinball FX tables last week, this means Twilight Zone is nextin line.

Maybe, if I were to pay for one would probably be for 6, but the pricing is still absurd individually given that 3-6 are all more expensive than FF7 on the same system. Am I being cheap? Yeah for sure, I'm broke, but I'm hesistant to pay a premium for old games that aren't even the best ways to play it.

I'm so sorry to hear that. **** hits way too close to home, so all I can say is that it takes time. This **** will hurt for a while, so mourn, cry, do all that. But time will ease the pain, it won't eliminate it (I still miss my beloved chihuahua), but it will ease it. Know that you gave him a home, a family, ans I'm sure he'd loves you just for taking him in. Take it easy, ok.

I was fine with the licensed songs used in the Mario movie but THIS is where I would draw the line if it were to have happened.

I’m glad the composer fought this. The remix we got instead is the best of the movie and it made the scene perfect. Jump would have felt really cringe in that moment.

Man wanted to **** around and find out. Which he did.

On top of being warned beforehand, he made a couple hundred thousand, if not more off of these scans. Technically stole nintendos product to upsale, literally would dox people with ransom ware, lied about his position at the company, and his partners got away or he didn’t give themaway.

he asked for it tbh.

I’m sorry for your loss. I miss one my pets recently and it still sucks, but I know they are pain free now and am grateful for them and to have gotten to take them in

Oh no, he for sure deserved to get punished, but I just think it's a bit excessive
