Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes] - counter

Street Fighter II: 3rd Strike - Had a friend visit from out of town, played a few rounds of 3S. Also managed to rope them into trying out Waku Waku 7 and Twinkle Star Sprites.

Mahjong Soul/Riichi City - :(

Splatoon 3 - Probably justified, but damn the Edit paint nerf feels kinda harsh.

Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes] - I WON A FIVE MAN BRACKET WOOOOO! Also played some Skullgirls casuals for a little while after the bracket ended.

Splatoon 3 - Heavy Edit got shot. The rest of the changes seem fine, but as always I’m just annoyed that they don’t do more.

Rollback is confirmed, but no crossplay sadly.

This just feels so late that they should’ve just waited for Switch 2. If Switch 2 is a perfect port with crossplay it would be a day 1 buy, but I don’t know if it’s worth picking this up without it.

Well put. Even if we assumed Facebook had the best of intentions - which they damn well don’t - it needs to be pointed out that other servers get defederated for far, far, far less than what they allow to happen on their platforms. Their moderation is abhorrent, which makes it outright unsafe to federate with them.

Well you should care, because Facebook is doing real harm to those people.

Even if we assumed Facebook had the best of intentions - but if you truly believe that I have a bridge to sell you - here’s another perspective to consider:

Poorly moderated servers regularly get defederated for far, far, far less than what goes on on Facebook’s platforms. Facebook not only platforms bigotry, they pretty much support and endorse it.

New rule is that everyone has to be nice to me.

That really doesn’t answer my question. Why did you feel the need to click onto [email protected] when you could just keep scrolling? New is going to be full of things that don’t personally appeal to you, you don’t need to go around announcing it on everything you see.

I’m seriously asking you: Why come here?

No, the PS3 version was also 60. Symphonia was the one that got downgraded on PS2 and subsequent ports were based on that.

Can someone explain to me why this game ran at 60fps on the goddamn Wii and yet is downgraded to 30 on Switch?

If Namco can’t get these ports right, just give me any of the classic 2D games we never got in the west. Surely they can’t mess those up.

Do you talk just to annoy people then?

Buddy, I’m telling you that nobody asked. You don’t have to come to [email protected] to inform us all that you don’t care about Nintendo, why would you even think that necessary to tell us? Did you expect anyone to care?

You clicked on the thread and you typed the comment. You felt the need to come to [email protected] to tell us this.

Can’t believe Namco actually remembered that other Tales games besides Symphonia exist.

Now give us Destiny DC + 2. Or anything else that hasn’t been released in the west for that matter, anything.

I’m not sure why you felt the need to come to [email protected] to tell us this.

Mahjong Soul/Riichi City/IRL mahjong - Ever since Balatro blew up, people have been joking about when we’re gonna see the mahjong roguelike next. Then four different ones went into development. Then Mahjong Soul surprised dropped a fifth one as a limited time event, and it might be the most promising of all of them. Then I broke the hell out of it.

Splatoon 3 - Team practice. Don’t have any cool clips to share rn, maybe next week.

There are some old English-language resources available on the wiki. But I’ve never quite liked the way we try to teach the game by just showing pictures of an idealized chain built in a frictionless vacuum, it’s a very “draw the rest of the owl” approach. Nor do I know what a better approach looks like for a game this abstract.

At one point I was working on a video where I’d build a chain step-by-step and overexplain my thought process on each piece. But that sits on a large mountain of unfinished projects and ideas. I’m retired from the game now because, well, I can’t continue justifying my competitive energy towards a game that just has no future as long as its publisher hates it, so it’s never going to get finished.

If you want functional online, the Switch version of Puyo Puyo Champions is the only title worth bothering with. Specifically Switch, other platforms are ghost towns.

If you want singleplayer content, 15th Anniversary, 20th Anniversary, and Chronicle are all peak. None of these games were released outside of Japan and they’re older titles you’ll have to emulate, hence all my salt about the state of things today, but at least they do have fantranslation patches.
