@pastaboi168 honestly, I didn't pay much attention to the hardware leaks so I don't think that was a factor for me (the only thing I studied in detail was the rumored tech specs)

where's the rooftop party Nintendo

@cs_dust3 I roll my own!

I love trying to figure out what Japanese abbreviations for things are supposed to be earlier I was looking at some comments about ゲースロ and I was like "wtf is that" for 5 minutes until I realized Game of Thrones (ゲームオブスローンズ)

I died more times on the fake final boss than the legitimate one, so I think there's something off with the balance but either way, ZM is a great game overall, though maybe not my favourite 2D Metroid that honor would go to Super or Dread

the best way to enjoy the game awards is to go to sleep for 3 hours, wake up after it’s done, and then see if anything you care about was announced

@Kesbo450 it was still October 31 in the West, but already the morning of November 1 in Japan

I really think that the current SplatoonNA translator has confused the JP name for the Triumvirate (オカシラ連合, "a union of bosses") for "Boss Salmonids" this is now the second tweet where "Boss Salmonids" replaces parts where the original JP text talks about the Triumvirate

I love when non-gamer authors try to write gen z/alpha characters that play Fortnite for one, they always spell it as Fortnight sometimes they also try to describe the character playing it, and it becomes very obvious that they have no idea how Fortnite is actually played lol

the difference in the reactions to Nintendo Music between the Japanese and Western fans is interesting people over here have lots of complaints, like "why not Spotify", "credit your composers", etc meanwhile, the JP fans are super positive and happy (from what I've seen)

so how much money do we want to bet that this guy is no longer in the United States

the dream team (Melon / Chocopero / Naegora / Lobster~) reaches 1st place in the qualifying Challenge for Clam Blitz in the Gachi King tournament 20 wins / 0 losses Challenge Power 2778.8

I wish book sites listed length in terms of word count rather than number of pages I'm all in on ebooks nowadays, and with ebooks, the page count can vary wildly depending on the font, screen size, etc word count is a much more reliable way to gauge a work's length imo

to me, the alarm clock just reinforces the idea that Nintendo does whatever the fuck they want lmfao they'll pull out Switch 2 at the most random ass time and it will blindside everyone

at a store in Japan: fake gift cards for "PC Virus & Trojan Horse Removal" and "Late Payment Fee" - when someone brings the card to the cashier, they will inform the person that they're being scammed this is a good idea, more places should do this
