Place your random thoughts.

I said it in the Pokemon thread, but this should not be something we let Nintendo get away with. This is a multimillionaire company.
well Nintendo is just the publisher, the games are actually developed by Game Freak and The Pokemon Company. that being said, TPC is not only a multi-million dollar company, but it's also owner of the highest grossing media franchise of all time.

and I'm sure some of the performance issues are the fault of the Switch itself bc the framerate drop in New Horizons absolutely drives me insane. I saw someone say something like "idk why people expect the Switch to be up to PS5 standards, it's a handheld console and the tech just isnt there yet." maybe so, but Nintendo is currently marketing the Switch as their primary console, both for the handheld and home console market. so it's still pretty disappointing how far it falls behind the PS5. if they couldn't make a handheld hybrid console to compete with the next gen stuff maybe they should've continued with the handheld + home console scheme for one more generation.
 
@xSuperMario64x That makes sense about the hardware limitations and Nintendo not actually owning them, but their name is still on the box.

I do know that New Horizons would always vent hot air. I would just boot up the game and not even be in anywhere heavily decorated or decorated at all. They can still find a way to fix this and make it right. I played Sword and I never had any issues. But I am seeing a lot of posts about people having glitches and framerate issues that are just so bad.
 
In my opinion Pokemon scarlet has been great.

But if Anna from frozen lived in Alaska her sleep schedule would be so bad. She says, "if the sky's awake then I'm awake." she would get no sleep during the summer and be like sleeping beauty during the winter.
 
Coming up with ideas for a book where the setting isn’t Texas/south U.S. is so hard. I have to come up with substitutions for the word “y’all” in dialogue and it sounds so weird.
 
I'm not sure why it's common for people to jokingly call themselves old once they're in their thirties. To me that's not very old. My immediate family is definitely quite old for someone in my age group, but I still wouldn't consider someone old until their seventies.

That's interesting. Sometimes I do it cause a lot of people I talk with are actually younger and stuff but I haven't seen it on a regular joke-basis, mostly just people only calling everyone 30+ a boomer cause they're not "woke" or stuff in a more or less serious way.

The dev team may be GameFreak, but Nintendo, TPC, and GF all own 1/3 of pokemon each. On top of it all, Nintendo normally worries about it's company's image. Nintendo has held the family friendly, and quality video games for a long time.
Pokemon is the biggest franchise out there. Bigger than Star wars. We are talking big billions.
$60 for a game that malfunctions this much is unacceptable, esp when you can't even return the game. Kids are less likely to wait and read a game review, so I find it scummy. Nintendo already lost a lawsuit in the UK over the SP/BD spat, as they should.
I agree the hardware plays a role in performance, and a more powerful system does need to be released (looking at lag of past switch games) however it does not explain the outrageous glitches happening in this $60 game, a Nintendo game.

Plus amazing games in the beginning of the Switch's life like Botw, Mario Odyssey, and the such never had these kind of issues. Is the Switch hardware not as powerful as the other consoles? Probably. But we're just giving them more excuses again. And they don't need that.

Valve proved that you can have a more powerful handheld, grant I feel like it's a different beast than the Switch, as it's basically a handheld PC, but point being, something can come out with more power while being a handheld. And even if it wasn't possible, perhaps making games that are appropriate for the system would be wiser than pushing the system farther than it can go, quality wise. Nobody likes frame rate drops and lag.

None the less, I am curious to see how the rest of the journey of selling ps/pv will go for Nintendo, and what they are gonna do next hardware wise.
 
People who use the 🙂 emoji seriously needs to burn in hell.. metaphorically.

I really hate this "ur maybe my friend but you really suck since you asked a question" kind of vibe it gives off, man. whoever designed it can also burn lolol.

that's why I said that the hardware being old is kind of a ridiculous excuse, bc games like BotW look amazing and don't have any issues like this at all. I've heard lots of people say that the Pokemon devs are likely cutting lots of corners bc they know it'll sell really well anyways and I'm honestly very inclined to believe that.
 
So, I only just remembered you can redeem My Nintendo Gold Points on physical versions of games as long as it is within two years of the official release date. The last physical game I got before this month was Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity as a Christmas gift in 2020. Quick Google to see when it came out and it was exactly two years ago today: November 20th, 2020. Thankfully the redeem worked. :D

I mean, let's not kid ourselves. It's the same reason they put the bare minimum of effort into New Horizon as well lol. They're getting too big for their britches.

A lot of people were defending them by claiming it's fine since they can always add a patch to fix anything. And it made me realize that the newer generation of gamers, casual or otherwise, aren't old enough to remember how games used to be released as full, glitch-free titles. And it sucks that it's been normalized.
 
I loved the open world of Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness and Pokémon Colosseum — the real start of open world with Pokémon.
 
I hate how finding a therapist is like a game of random chance. I got very lucky. The first one I met was infantilizing me hard, but the second one was a perfect fit for me. She basically acts like a big sister figure which definitely helped me worked through my issue, but another good thing is that she never made me talk about events of the past, just that I went through bullying and didn't deserve it.

I feel so bad for people who struggle in finding the right fit, because if you bad session is bad you're likely to think that therapy is bad or that it's just not for you. And that's just not true. Therapists are basically like teachers and the right tools for you are out there. Having someone call out your thought patterns and helping you redirect them is so valuable. Everybody deserves to be content.
 
Got back from the hospital. It was a living hell. Just glad to be home.
 
Does anyone know if the Ipad 9 can play Animal Crossing Pocket Camp and Hatsune Miku Colorful Stage? I get to choose an Ipad as a birthday gift and I want to know if that one can run it! (The only thing stopping me from getting a Green 4th gen air is that AMAZING HOME BUTTON THATS NOSTALGIC TO ME)
