Killer post, love the description! Very informative, you sold me without me having to leave my Lemmy app. Quality post, wish I could up vote more than once.

I agree that Nintendo is crummy for the price tag, and it’s a smoke screen for not having any AAA Mario or Zelda ready for the new console. But my nostalgia and my kids are just simply winning. It’s definitely a 🥰🤮 kind of situation. Can’t help myself. Icky…

I’m… I’m not bragging though? It’s just another situation/combination, like I said. And it’s been years now since I bought the 3D All Stars games, over time this doesn’t amount to a lot of money per year, or especially per month. My kids play all the time. The games have almost paid for themselves. 🥰 Watching them experience what I did when I was a kid. It’s been great.

Are people angry that I somehow “wasted” my money? I don’t get it.

Would be cool if there was a little description of what this is, please.

Cool, thanks… I’m doing it for my kids. I know full well I’m being scammed. But my love for my kids doesn’t care. I love playing these games together with them and it’s worth every penny.

I had to buy it for that price, DRM free ultimate edition! I have the base version that I got for free on Epic, but GOG is great.

Hmm?

That’s kind of what I’m saying. Doing it for my kids though. They’re worth every penny. They love Mario.

Myeah. The GameCube was dope.

I thought it played nicely. It’s not a very difficult game anyway. Although there are some mechanics not possible with the switch controllers. Like the analog triggers with the click in the bottom that the GameCube controller had. That was so useful in so many games. Not sure why they got rid of that ever since.

And then there’s me, who bought the trilogy, and will now buy the duology, so I’m getting 4 games for $130.

Edit: why down vote this? Can you explain why this is off topic or otherwise down vote worthy? I’m not saying I’m being smart with these purchases 😆 I’m just saying it’s another situation. I’m buying these games for my kids as they love Mario.

I’m ready for any news regarding anything Mario or Zelda, no matter the release date. 😊

I’m hoping for new Zelda or Mario news. Very excited.

Ah okay, there you have it! 😅

I saw something just recently where they did like thousands of hours worth of tests but couldn’t reproduce it? Now it’s way worse?

The big four double oh! Congratulations!

Yeah, I downloaded all those OSTs from YouTube to keep on disk and play via Spotify.

Also they’re available in Nintendo’s music app for on-the-go listening. 😁

I had Galaxy 1 and 2, the music is to die for. Both soundtracks are amazing. Beat them both!

It just doesn’t feel like the audio from the next clip fades in before the visual cut, like a J-cut is supposed to do. It feels more like regular straight cuts.

I don’t think the intolerance of this type of editing is exclusive to Lemmy users though lol.

By the way, are these really J-cuts? I feel like this is some other kind of abomination. 🫣 It feels extremely choppy rather than smooth, which is what J-cuts are supposed to feel.

folks assume I’m Kian Brose

Ah, odd. I also find people tend to down vote everything a person says after they have concluded that that person (for whatever reason) is “bad”, even though what is being said is objectively helpful or at least not negative in any way.

It’s not to be pretentious, like I thought. I’m glad I asked so I could learn.

Not sure why people down vote. 🫩 You are being very helpful. 🙏

Cool, thank you!

The class action will be pretty significant if they win, because it sets a precedent, I guess?

Oh my god you guys weren’t kidding. I thought “oh it’s just the regular kind of fast cutting that YouTubers do”, but this is something extraordinarily annoying. I can barely comprehend what’s being said.

The fact that he has a Swedish accent doesn’t help either. I find it very annoying (very biased regarding that, admittedly).

Gonna have to watch this on mute, because every fucking word being said it’s written on the screen anyway. Just have to run it on 75–50% speed or something.

Why do you type like that?

😆 that’ll do you in for sure indeed

Yup, being a CEO is the number one leading cause of pancreatic cancer…

I checked the reviews of Bad North on Steam as well and yeah, that is very high! Added it to my wish list and let’s see if it’s ever on sale. 😁

I have no reason to down vote you. We were just having a conversation. Not sure why others are. 🤔

Anyway, I mentioned Jotun because they seemed like similar games. 😁

Did you try different difficulty levels?

Not that I recall. Just normal I suppose. That’s what I usually play games at.

[the reviews are] insanely high on Steam

Not sure we’re talking about the same game?

I thought it was a little monotonous and stopped playing, but I could give it a go again. 😊

I think it didn’t have great reviews either, and I kind of agree(d) with them, so I lost interest.

I played some Jotun, it was alright.

bad service and launcher

I agree with you about the launcher, but what about the service is so bad? (I never buy anything there, I just claim free shit.)

He had me until the /s, honestly. Sounded like a not-so-bad idea.

Anything beyond PCIe 4.0 is excessive and is a poor use of your money.

Gotta spend that money on something 💀

422k out of 132 million

It’s all relative. When you bring the time aspect into this, it is a sharp increase compared to previous time periods.

And it’s subjectively a small number of computers and a large number of computers at the same time, depending on perspective.

There’s no point in arguing over these stats.

🫶

Ori and Horizon are also available on Spotify in full, for those who prefer that. 👍

1. All of the Zelda games
2. All of the Ori games
3. All of the Horizon games
4. All of the Mario Galaxy games

So good.
