Well, I'm following your advice and getting Civilization 6 on GMG. 2 copies in fact, so I can gift the other to someone else. I'm also getting Offworld Trading Company on GMG, because not only is it slightly cheaper there(it's 66% off on Steam, and 68% off on GMG), there's also a Voucher code that was given out via e-mail to people that makes all this like 10% cheaper and gives you free stuff too.
On Steam, I'm planning on getting Steins;Gate, which is only 20% off, but feck it. I want it.
Also Poland DLC for Civ 6(not on sale) and Super Amazing Wagon Adventure(50% off, but it's already dirt cheap anyway). Because that's all I can afford with what's left of my monies that I really want.
As for some deals that stick out to me;
I see Freedom Planet and Axiom Verge are 50% off(making Freedom Planet €7.49 and Axiom Verge €8.99) if anyone thinks those are good deals.
Duck game is 40% off(individually, they now cost €7.79, 4-pack costs €22.19).
Danganronpa and Danganronpa 2 are 40% off( individually, they are €16.79 each, buy the bundle and they cost €30.22 altogether)
A game I personally recommend, Defender's Quest: Valley of the Forgotten is 67% off(making it €4.61).
Stronghold HD is 75% off, putting it at a whopping 1 euro. Same with Stronghold Crusader HD, which puts it at 2 euro.

That'd just be a dick move.

Here. Have some delicious spam while I'm in the lead.

I honestly have no clue. I can never quite keep track of the times I sleep and wake up at. And if I decide to sleep, it's almost always because I'm so tired that I would catch myself dozing off while doing other stuff. That and I'm usually being woken up by alarms in the morning.

Couldn't get a better shot with just Harvey. But then again, I guess he's just allergic to good camera shots, because that's something my sisters have complained about for years. Anyway, here is my chocolate labby. And also me because I didn't think to use a better position before Harvey started getting difficult. And the webcam sucks.

I'm pretty hyped for the deviants they're giving the rest of the elite 4/fated 4/ whatever they're called 4.
Aside from Hellblade Glavenus, we now have Heavenly Eye Mizutsune, Blue Thunderlord Astalos and the Silver Ridge Gammoth.
(If these names aren't correct, don't blame me, I found them on the wiki)
I'm particularly hyped for fighting Blue Thunderlord Astalos(though I'm not looking forward to fighting it more than like 10 times for its stuff like we already have to do with Deviants...).
The video also shows off the 6th hunting style. The Alchemy Style. Here's a video of Gaijin Hunter explaining this style:
And since nobody posted anything about it, here's the other new Hunting Style; Brave Style.
Also, there's this new thing called SP mode. Using a level 1 or level 2 Hunter Arts(maybe even level 3 if they add more of the damn things) will trigger SP mode not only for you, but any teammates in the area. Which gives you a legit reason to want to equip the "obsolete" Hunter Arts after unlocking the top level versions(though it's never specified how long it lasts).
SP mode gives you a buff depending on which Hunting Style you're using;
- Guild Style: can consume certain items faster than usual. Which items this affects was not made clear, so we'll find out later I guess?
- Striker Style: You get a gradual increase on your Hunter Art gauges. More Arts spam. Have fun!.
- Aerial Style: You lose less stamina from jumps.
- Adept Style: You get an even bigger window to do the Adept evade and Adept guard.
- Brave Style: Increase the rate at which you fill your Brave gauge.
- Alchemy Style: It makes it faster for the Alchemy gauge to go up? I'm sorry, I don't really have a good grasp of how the Alchemy Style works.
- Prowlers: Get the cost of using skills reduced by 1.
Prowlers also get a new skill that puts them into Beast mode. they pull out claws and gain a bunch of claw attacks and combos. It also gets something like the Long Sword's gauge where you do a combo and if you pull off the finisher successfully you go up a level. Level 1 gives you knockback protection, level 2 gives you increased affinity, level 3 gives you both of the before and throws you into SP mode. Basically, they saw how nobody was bothering with melee cats and decided to do something about it.
...also Congalala's back, but who cares about that? -
I have to agree. It's pretty silly how, because you can't just give the kid the money to buy his own ice cream, he'll just camp in front of the vending machine until either you buy some later from a different vending machine or one of your pokemon picks up some ice cream off the ground somewhere and you give that to him.
I mean, the machine is right there! I don't understand how anyone, even a little kid, could not see the easiest and most obvious solution here.
-
I'm willing to give this another shot.
Last time we only got past making our characters before the whole thing died. So I never had a taste of what D&D's like.

This bug is in the public release.
Here's a gif of it happening with a No Guard Golurk and Hawlucha.

Well, this sorta makes you a jerk, but not necessarily a bad person. But yeah, you are being unfair to your parents. I have to agree with @Alextron, you should just go back to the small spoon if your family's really on such a tight budget that your mother needs to tell you to limit how much chocolate powder you use. Maybe just put up with the hunger you'll experience from reducing the amount of milk if the taste is really that important to you?

*cough* It's not actually Rose's birthday. Her birthday is tomorrow. Blame Skype. *cough*
Happy (early) birthday!
Well, I'd normally try to say more, but I'll leave that until later when I'm alone. Even if they can't see it, being sentimental when my family's around is embarrassing.Well, anyway, you're an awesome friend. I regret not getting to talk with you over the past few months. And I hope them crazy kids aren't giving you too much trouble(if you've said anything about them here in the past month, then I'm sorry I didn't read it. I kinda disappeared for a bit...). Enjoy your birthday, and try not to work yourself to death, ya crazy old lady!

Sadly, I'd only really see myself using Decidueye in a Ghost monotype run(and I'd rather not use the other two at all).
And even then, it probably would get boxed after I get a full team and find something better.
-
You've been here 3 years? Huh. Well, ummm.... here, have this very fitting image.
Dunno what else to say, really. Congrats.

I'm watching you.

Elderly weeb? I'm not creative.

Who is the main audience for these redistributed virtual games? Presumably, nostalgic older gamers in their 20's who can just as easily navigate to a Target page and buy the Switch as they can to an emulation distribution site and download a ROM. The sense of moral obligation initially driving many of them to purchase new things kind of becomes diluted as you run down the bullet list...
Nintendo might sell less than 500,000 copies (at a greatly decreased price) of redistributed software on their VC store, outside of viral phemomenon like the weird Red/Blue craze earlier this year, and that's well-known IPs that people are nostalgic about. How many downloads are Ice Climbers going to get? 50,000?
I also don't know business, and my uncle doesn't work at Nintendo, so I can't be sure what the cost/benefit ratio is of hosting a sales platform dedicated solely to the redistribution of obsolete games that can be easily obtained through a Google search. Maybe it's EZ$, or maybe it's an inconvenience. Thoughts?
You know what the benefit is? People who already own the console don't have to illegally download these games or buy old systems and cartridges/disks at absurd prices if they want to enjoy classic games. What is there to not get about having a legal option to enjoy these games? If I had a Wii U, I'd be easily tempted to buy a lot of the GBA and DS games on there.
The way you're arguing also kinda assumes that the VC would be a main selling point of the console, the VC is obviously not a main selling point of the console, but it's nice to have regardless. You would buy the Switch for the new games that come out on it, then suddenly you have access to classic games via the Virtual Console. And at that point, it's just as easy to purchase these games on VC as it is to emulate them. And if already have a Switch/Wii U, then most of the argument against the VC falls apart. Only reason you'd want to bother emulating if you already have a Switch or Wii U is to save like €10. And if you can't be arsed to pay that little to buy a game when it's just as easy to do so as it is to google it, chances are you would never have bought that game regardless. So it's not a lost sale.
I hope a lot of the major games from the Wii U are being ported over Switch, even if it means outright removing some of the gamepad features(although in some cases, the game would benefit from these features being removed,) I was hoping the Switch would be backwards compatible because of the Wii U's flop, but clearly that isn't happening now.
-
It would be silly to assume Nintendo would ditch Virtual Console on the Switch. It's been a thing since the Wii came out.
You're kinda assuming that all these people with access to emulators are potential customers who suddenly don't want to pay now that they know they can get the games for free. If that were the case, digital distribution services like Steam either wouldn't be doing so well or wouldn't exist at all and no developer would ever want to make games for PC. Obviously, this is simply not true.
Personally, if possible, I would much rather legitimately purchase a game through a service like Steam or the eshop and support the developers than download it illegally and pay nothing ever. And I'm sure I'm far from the only person like this.

The XY/ORAS 3D style resembled XD in some ways and I have to imagine they took some inspiration from the GCN title
I just don't really see them as spiritual successors because of their different character design, setting, and game mechanics
Not to get too far off on a tangent but here are some arguments I can think of for which Nintendo might revisit the series:
- The transition to a (semi-?) console might inspire them to draw on familiar console staples (Colosseum for N64, XD for GCN)
- They just redid Hoenn to hit the nostalgia demographic, which came out around the same time as XD (2002 and 2005, respectively)
- Though it's an original IP, Nintendo recently revived Kid Icarus of all things and that went over well
a boy can dream
The issue is not whether of not the gen 6 games are spiritual successors, It's the fact that they are fully 3D at all. Which means that it makes Stadium/Colosseum games redundant in Game Freak's eyes.
I doubt Game Freak cares too much about gen 3 nostalgia. After all, they did completely neglect to include the Battle Frontier in ORAS. Plus, if they wanted to do something with Colosseum, they would've announced something after ORAS(Also, Colosseum is a gen 3 game. Not gen 2.)
Just because Nintendo decided to reboot a classic IP one time doesn't mean Game Freak will want to give similar treatment to a spin off series, one which they've already said they think would serve no real purpose now, and one which they left to rot for at least 9 years.
The most I'd expect for Colosseum and XD is a VC release on the Switch(assuming GC games on the VC are even a thing on the Switch). And even that's pretty optimistic considering the Stadium games never wound up on the Wii U VC.
I wouldn't mind the 3 hour battery on the Switch much if either there's a charger included(aside from the dock thing, at least, I assume that would charge it) or at the very least one available that's not too expensive. I could bring it to school and charge it at the cafe that way.
-
Oo, will there be a spiritual successor to Colosseum/XD?
Game Freak said they will make pokemon games. Not Genius Sonority or any other company. So that's a no.
Plus Game Freak already said there's no more need for games like Stadium or Colosseum because the main games on the handheld systems are fully 3d now(plus there's the fact that Colosseum pretty much only existed to make up for the inability to transfer pokemon from gen 2 to gen 3, which isn't an issue nowadays). And now, assuming the Switch is replacing both, I can almost guarantee we'll never be seeing another Colosseum/XD style of pokemon game.
-
(since most likely the NX will be replacing both the wiiU and the 3ds.
I hope it's not replacing both. I like the dual screen feature. Plenty of games made good use of the DS/3DS two screens and I wouldn't want to see the idea just get abandoned completely. (The Switch isn't capable of dual screen play, by the way. The base needs to be in the dock to show gameplay on a tv).
Edit: Okay, GameFreak apparently plan on making pokemon games for the Switch in future. So... Guess it might be replacing both, sadly.

Wasn't it Monster Hunter?
Don't think I saw any MonHun game anywhere in that trailer. And Elder Scrolls games look and play nothing like Monster Hunter.
If this thing is backwards compatible, I am getting it. Missed out on Xenoblade X, Mario Maker and Splatoon because i didn't get a Wii U.

Bird Keeper
I like birbs. Hence the member title.

I knew the gym leaders in these hacks didn't fuck around, but I never would've expected an Explosion suicide lead in the first gym.
I can only imagine this is what Drayano's like any time they hear about someone attempting to nuzlocke their hacks:

What could go wrong?
Hopefully everything.

Sorry if this has been brought up before, but there seems to be no option to ignore status updates from specific users at all.
Would it be at all possible to implement this?
