I agree with you.
For your second issue it’s been discussed at https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/23856847 and https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/firefox-mobile-toolbar-redesign-needs-a-compact-mode/td-p/62031

As for the first problem, if someone finds a fix I’d be happy to know.
Technically they happened and many Democrats wanted Biden to debate, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Democratic_Party_presidential_debates_and_forums
However he declined. In general we don’t have an open primary when there is an incumbent. It may be a mistake, but that is what generally happens.
Also SOTU 2024 Biden was fine, so primary Biden 2023/2024 may also have been fine. The concern is if he can do it now and for the next four years. I think it’s possible, but he needs to prove it (or step aside).
Nobody serious ran against Biden in the primary.
DeSantis & Haley ran against Trump, both lost by a wide margin. You could argue the turnout was still low, but I think those voters really do want Trump (for some reason).
It’s a game I wanted to enjoy, and I had some amount of fun, but ultimately it just fell flat.
The Ori games were so much better while following the same basic gameplay, but Hollow Knight gets all the extra attention. I do think Hollow Knight is bad, it’s just a game that is ok, and by the next game will be enjoyable after they iron everything out.
The other possibility I assume is that there is something Souls-like about the game that I don’t get. I’ve only played DS3 and I found it boring quickly. I understood what the game wanted me to do, but I wasn’t having fun doing it. Maybe some folks do, but not for me.
Hollow Knight.
I played for probably a dozen hours or so, beat a few bosses and then just hit a boss I couldn’t beat. (Don’t recall which.) I would get to the boss and die almost immediately. Then I’d be sent back to a far away checkpoint. I’d slog back to the boss, and die. Repeat again.
I’ve played plenty of games like this. I get at some level that’s the point. The problem is that I wasn’t enjoying the game. I wasn’t making progress. Just repeating the same over and over again.
I’ve played and loved similar games. Super Meat Boy & Celeste? Excellent. Ori and the Blind Forest/Will of the Wisps? Top games.
By all accounts I feel like I should like Hollow Knight… but I just don’t feel they got it right.
Lol I’m the opposite. I won’t allow KOTOR slander. Don’t give a fuck about Mass Effect, you can trash it.
KOTOR had a great story and I was finally in the Star Wars universe, just flying around and exploring the universe.
I do admit the early part of the game is a bit slow, but once I was jumping from planet to planet it was awesome.
(Come to think of it I found Mass Effect equally boring when I started it. If it had been Star Wars I probably would have stuck with it, but since it wasn’t I just found it boring.)
Me: So my hands are bound?
DM: Yes.
Me: And I’m under the influence of a “Command”-like spell?
DM: Yes.
Me: And the command is to follow them to the prison?
DM: Yes.
Me: I’d like to try and fall on my face, beard first.
As someone who bought “Super Mario Party” I feel you. We got at best 1/2 of a game and then nothing. I’m not sure I can be convinced to buy a Mario Party game again.
the base game is still very robust for a free-to-play title and that what is usually offered for paid tickets are extra items or Shiny Pokémon
They are 100% correct, but what they’ve missed is that they’ve de-valued Shiny Pokemon. If I can just pay for it, what value does it have? Plus, you’re not paying for exclusives just early access.
I agree, but appreciate that Zelda isn’t just “girl Link”. Ganon & Link sword fight enough, with Ganon dipping into magic, it makes sense for Zelda to lean heavily into it. I do think a bow would be fitting, but I expect we’ll have enough creativity with the echos that it won’t be necessary.
It sounds painful, and I’m concerned there will be too much menuing, but in general I’m trusting Nintendo on this one. (Well, maybe wait for a demo/review.)
Nobbleberry is my favorite show.
The Manor Lords situation confuses me since the game is still in early access. Games can be done, and that’s fine, but you have to complete a game first.
