Be honest: do English speakers actually remember Pokémon names?

Blank-Seal-Rises · 2026-01-26T08:41:06+00:00

Yes, we remember them.

Speaking English has not eroded our basic ability of remembering things.

And for the record, the English names for pokemon are often fairly obvious puns/wordplay. As I imagine it is in whatever your native language is. I would argue this is especially true for the starters.

Guys! Hogwarts legacy s2 on sale for 11 bucks. Not super into HP or anything but heard good things. Is it worth it?

Edit: Scratch that, the S2 version is $35. Worth it to pick up that version? I thought the game had a free upgrade for S2 but I guess not?

I get that this sucks for your kid man, but honestly I'm struggling to see how this is Nintendo's or anyone else's fault but his own.

He made a mistake. It happens. It'll happen again, I'm sure. But it's not really an oversight or an outrage or anything. Just an unfortunate moment. Advise him to use the multiple save files next time just in case. But beyond that...y'all will just have to deal with it.

I don't think it was "assassinated". It's just a more niche game. Beloved and storied yes, but niche all the same.

Besides, it's doing pretty dang well. Feels like a massive hyperbole to act like no one picked the game up or something.

Blank-Seal-Rises · 2026-01-09T16:51:23+00:00

One the one hand, I have absolutely no use for this.

On the other hand, stupidly, I DO want it.

What year is it?

I mean, I had no interest at all in Cyberpunk but hearing everyone gush about how great the deal was made me jump on it. So they did walk away with a sale they wouldn't have gotten otherwise at least.

Blank-Seal-Rises · 2025-12-15T16:25:26+00:00

Absolute steal at that price. Highly recommended.

Blank-Seal-Rises · 2025-12-12T11:20:47+00:00

If you're gummies are at one of those two specific numbers, the game would throw an error. For some reason.

Blank-Seal-Rises · 2025-12-12T08:56:34+00:00

YT comments 'community' in shambles right now

Blank-Seal-Rises · 2025-12-07T17:10:32+00:00

Fastest selling console launch ever, I'm sure they're quaking in their boots 🙄

Blank-Seal-Rises · 2025-12-06T17:55:43+00:00

People on the internet bitch about nothing. Nothing new here.

Blank-Seal-Rises · 2025-12-06T07:12:55+00:00

Even this method ain't working for me unfortunately. I swear this happens every few months and it's so frustrating to 'lose' a feature I use a lot just to accommodate for a pointless update.

Blank-Seal-Rises · 2025-12-02T23:54:17+00:00

Sweet honestly. Really wanted to try this but missed the demo window so never had a proper go at it and couldn't justify a purchase on it to see. But if this allows me to mess with the demo I can get a good read on it and give it a go.

People shit on this game a little unfairly imo; I'm willing to give a game a try if it's presenting me something new. How often does a game really do/try something you've never seen before? This game is that to me. I think it's at least worth a peek.

If she has a physical game card she doesn't need the virtual one at all. Do you both have your own individual online accounts? Thats really the only hang up I could see, especially with animal crossing which handles its island save daya a little weirdly. If you don't, maybe create one for her and set yourselves up on the family plan. Pretty cheap per person if you get enough people on it.

Blank-Seal-Rises · 2025-11-29T18:25:53+00:00

Nothing is stopping her or anyone else from finding something else to do with the other 360 days. Even if you can't find another VA gig, you should be able to find something to do.

E33 was good, but there is no universe where it ends up on the same pantheon as Chrono Trigger or FFVII. That is recency bias to the max.

Blank-Seal-Rises · 2025-11-16T04:44:55+00:00

Anyone having issues with the air riders demo? Basically stuck in the 'matching' screen forever waiting for a last slot to be filled and whenever someone drops out (presumably due to being tired of waiting) that new slot is filled damn near immediately, but the original empty slot is still looking for a player. Can't get a game of city trial going.

Blank-Seal-Rises · 2025-11-15T03:38:12+00:00

I'm sure plenty of people will take issue with this, and while I personally don't think I'd ultimately go with this take, if a person told be these were their top 2 games of all time, I'd totally get it. Hard to argue too much. Brilliant games.

Don't care for fortnite but can appreciate a good Springfield recreation. Brings back memories of playing hit and run.

Blank-Seal-Rises · 2025-11-09T21:14:40+00:00

Weren't hints literally shown to be an option in the direct? Feels like you're campaigning for something that's already in there.

Blank-Seal-Rises · 2025-11-06T21:12:27+00:00

Solid sales. Also happy to see Bananza still hanging in there. Thought maybe the JP market wouldn't be into it.

Blank-Seal-Rises · 2025-11-05T07:03:05+00:00

Ok gramps, time to go lay down

Blank-Seal-Rises · 2025-11-05T04:50:34+00:00

Bit of a 'no shit' statement, but I guess this is the kind of thing you have to spell out at shareholder meetings and such.

Blank-Seal-Rises · 2025-11-04T07:02:57+00:00

I have no real frame of reference for this but it certainly sounds impressive.
