It's a shame Nintendo isn't promoting amiibo as much anymore since the mold quality in the recent amiibo is so much better than in the first wave of amiibo.
Also this baby looks amazing, make this Odyssey DLC you twits.
My dad just freaking called my mom a psychopath and an abuser. Saying that she just plays in her tablet all day while chores are not done while he works. I was pleading him to calm down but he says, "don't tell me what to do".
Sure my mom was complaining about finances and food, usual dreary crap, but my dad's reaction is out of line, juvenile, vile, inappropriate, vicious, toxic, and false. People failing to do chores is a problem that requires civility and respect in order to address and solve it, not psychological destruction that comes with long-term consequences. I don't expect him to apologize for this even though this behavior is absolutely unacceptable especially in light of a mere infraction.
What do you think of the idea of playable Mario in a Luigi's Mansion game? Feels like the state of playability is one-sided: every Mario series eventually get Luigi to be playable such as Dr. Mario and Super Mario Maker, but Luigi's games are (as far as I know) yet to put Mario as a playable character. Is Mario too big that making him have the same role as Luigi makes the latter redundant?
It's surprising that Luigi's Mansion does not currently have a mod that completely swaps Mario and Luigi's roles, making Mario the rescuer and Luigi the one stuck in the painting, including the cutscenes. There's only one mod but it still has some compromises. Not even the 3DS games have mods. Maybe the Switch game would be different.
I played a lot of Super Mario Odyssey. If you think the media pundits covering video game recently look demonically possessed and trying to divert attention away from workplace abuse from the industry and how Trump is diverting funds away from health and education to pay for an oversized garden fence, well, you're on to something.
It's a shame that the authors behind the Super Luigi Odyssey mod are prime grade assholes Wexos and Atlas (YouTube handle AtlasOmegaAlpha). They're the type that don't want to release the tools they made for modding because they think it'll hurt the modding community (and I guess their reputation?) by allowing people to make crap with their tools. It's a stupid attitude to have. They also don't release some mods they promote such as making a Road Jetter mod for Mario Kart, which is also a very dick move. It would make my day if someone else made their mods and released them.
Least tern with chicks. This is taken at the wetlands we volunteered at (there's a lot of the verbena growing around there), not recently, but just to give you idea. There's a stick with a 2 marker showing the nest, might be another nest nearby.
Quick Time Events are also one of those gameplay mechanics whose cheap implementation negatively affects my experience on video games as a whole. I really didn't like how that Tomb Raider game implemented it at all and now every time I see a flashy cutscene in some other big budget action game, I anticipatze and dread a QTE rather than enjoy the cutscene.
Games that grade you on your performance after you clear, I tend to burn out faster probably from morale and pressure to do perfectly rather than enjoy the game. Can't hold my attention on Sonic, Bayonetta, GTA V's story mode, Kirby Mass Attack, etc.
I wasn't aiming for one, but I somehow got a hole in one in Mario Golf World Tour as Mario. Too bad it was a match play so I didn't get to see the fancy eagle animation.
Some of terrible Spongebob's episodes during Season 4, 5, 6, *aka the infamous seasons) would've made for a pretty great horror parody of Spongebob. Episodes I had in mind: "To Love a Patty" Spongebob horrifically rips clams apart over a rotting Krabby Patty. "Skill Crane": Mr. Krabs exploits gambling addicts and the episode overall paints a weirdly mature and uncomfortably too-close-to-home picture of addiction. "Gone" has Spongebob going into psychological breakdown for finding no one around for extended amounts of time. "One Coarse Meal" is just thoroughly messed up as Plankton contemplates suicide. "Squid's Visit" dials up Spongebob's creepiness to 11 and there's real psychological horror elements that that does feel genuinely horrifying at points. IMO they could've made for good, memorable episodes if they weren't part of, y'know, Spongebob.
