Which user would you go on a date with?

[LaserMoose]

Oh snap, things are back to normal! Good work everyone. It felt weird being caught up on the Date Thread lore when posting was halted instead of having several new pages worth of posts to read every time I check in. What a week it's been huh? How about that Switch 2 direct?

Well, back to lurking and liking comments.

Spike and the mods were quick to implement a solution, thankfully.

The pricing of the Switch 2 games and the other anti-consumer business practices they're doubling down on have certainly done them no favors.

What were your thoughts on the Direct?

I didn't watch the Direct, i am solely relying on memes as my sources of information.

It have made me laugh A LOT, and i have been vindicated cause some of my predictions years ago to my friends turned out true.

 

[LaserMoose]

I wish I found out the information through memes. At least I could've laughed at a meme while reading the game prices jumping the shark. It is what it is, I guess.

Yeah...big N really seem to enjoy kicking down the ladder from beneath us when they feel like they have the upper hand.

I like how they made it look mostly as good as possible during the direct, and then saved all the information everyone would hate for after the direct. Nintendo doing everything they can to stay classy as usual.​

Felt sheer bewilderment, that they made a tech demo and not include it with the console.

I liked the beginning and end, the middle was middling. Some of the third-party choices feel underwhelming for the first major video talking about the system. Interesting that price wasn't discussed in the video, only mentioned afterward. Probably because it would have overshadowed the rest of the Direct, which happened anyway.

In a sea of out-of-touch pricing decisions, the choice to only have 256gb of space on the console and require currently quite expensive micro SD cards for more storage is the most mind-boggling. Did they learn nothing from the PS Vita? Should have been 1 terabyte and had the option to add more memory via NVME, those hard drives are really small. Worth making the system a bit thicker to accommodate. Hard to sell someone on a high-tech system where two or three games may possibly fill up the whole hard drive.

Ah, well I guess it didn't really rate an announcement or anything. Short version, it's kinda vague and mostly leaves folks questioning why it was used. Swapped it out for the Phoenix Wright "thinking" reaction instead.

R.I.P. Sonic, got confused while running too fast and didn't notice the pit. Also morning all, it's finally the part of the year where I go back to work so I'm gonna have a more regular sleep schedule instead of whatever goblin hours I had before.​

I hear you, these are my last few days to goof off before I start at it again Monday. Me, Anti, and a few others were gonna stay up and watch trashy horror movies tonight.

Nice, sounds like a fun way to close out a break. I'm sure based on some posts I've seen that Anti's probably a scholar on cheesey horror. ​

Considering the last time we did gave us the gold of Crimson and Clownado, my hope are high.

R.I.P. Phoenix Wright reaction, lasted a whole 5 minutes.

Since this thread had turned into more of it's own General Chat, should we consider a rename?

Literally the entire internet seems to agree: Hottest video game presentation in a while, cold prices. But there's so much uproar about it (like every corner of the net) that it would be weird if Nintendo didn't do anything.

I liked the Sonic reaction. I like to think it was used more than angry bonk. More funny too. At least it's still here.

Oh, and in other news, certain fighting game communities are going crazy. Smash fans have been holding their breath since the direct, are lacking oxygen, & now mii swordfighter is becoming meta. Tekken 8's S2 update apparently also destroyed the game & people are quitting left & right.

Not to mention the wackiness of Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves getting Ronaldo and Maximillan DJ Salvatore Ganacci. Those announcements felt like a fever dream.

 

[LiberoVulpesLiberoVulpes's icon]

To be honest, at first, i thought that Ronaldo in Fatal Fury was a joke.

 

[Mr. Daddy]

Not too surprised since it's the beginning of the season we're open, but the store I work in is having a really slow day today. Two customers so far in the hour and a half I've been here.

I've been hearing some bad things with Tekken 8, but I've been pretty out of the loop from it. I haven't played much since a little before the season 1 dlc started properly launching, partially because I was getting really annoyed by all the Victor players. What'd they do that's got everyone in such a tizzy?

Also with Smash, I really just have to wonder how they even can follow up Ultimate.​
