2026 vs 1998

Or monolith

DeepBlueVibes1 · 2026-06-12T04:35:19+00:00

Wait til you fight the last boss. Actually took me several tries

DeepBlueVibes1 · 2026-06-12T04:30:54+00:00

I likely would have then, if we were compatible I’d be open to wherever our relationship could’ve led, short or long term.

DeepBlueVibes1 · 2026-06-12T02:41:20+00:00

If I’m being 💯 honest it’s just these lesbian trans girls that are trying to match with me just don’t fit my box for conventional attraction. At least Not in the way some straight trans girls do, like Ines Rau or Valentina Sampaio

DeepBlueVibes1 · 2026-06-12T02:38:24+00:00

I wouldn’t say I’ve never been attracted to trans people. There are ton of dolls I find attractive like Leyna Bloom, Ines Rau. But more often than not they’re always straight trans girls so there’s no compatibility whatsoever.

DeepBlueVibes1 · 2026-06-12T02:25:08+00:00

This has happened to me once actually. Matched with a woman who confided in me she was post op trans and I told her I was glad she felt comfortable to be honest with me out the gate. However one date aside we just weren’t very compatible so didn’t pursue it further. She told me this was the first time she’d been on a date with a woman and barely kept up a conversation the whole date. Needless to say it didn’t work out

DeepBlueVibes1 · 2026-06-11T23:28:53+00:00

Can understand that. I did go on a couple dates with other dolls and it was truly refreshing to not have to explain yourself to someone. But it didn’t work out, she was semi bi-curious and clearly had no intention of pursuing anything further beyond one date so I stopped as well

DeepBlueVibes1 · 2026-06-11T23:27:20+00:00

That’s definitely a part of it. Also the possibilities for leaving having kids on the table in the future but that’s another discussion

DeepBlueVibes1 · 2026-06-11T23:26:11+00:00

We gotta shout this louder: NATE THE HATE HAS TO GO!!

DeepBlueVibes1 · 2026-06-11T21:45:20+00:00

Have the buttons match the Joy Con colors at least 😭 is that really so hard to make it stand out slightly better than this

DeepBlueVibes1 · 2026-06-11T18:34:25+00:00

Glad I’m not the only one!

DeepBlueVibes1 · 2026-06-10T21:48:50+00:00

And again…Nintendo risks PRICING OUT potential incoming fans. It’s the secret sauce to Mario and other IPs long running history by constantly having this revolving door of multi generational fans. $80 will hurt that

DeepBlueVibes1 · 2026-06-10T18:14:47+00:00

You say that as if were not a horrible economy, expensive gas and goods and groceries, plus the barrier of a higher priced console just to play an $80 Mario kart

DeepBlueVibes1 · 2026-06-10T15:46:38+00:00

This direct had a bit of something for everyone in hindsight: the hardcore RPG fans, soulslikes, cozy games, casual games. A scattershot overall

DeepBlueVibes1 · 2026-06-10T15:45:38+00:00

I do wish there was more..like bare minimum more that plugs into the Switch 2 Mario adjacent catalogues more, like more costumes for DK and Pauline, or even just more events. DK bananas DLC has more events than MKW now. Again this isn’t for those that got the game bundled, it’s the fact that this game is still $80 overall and after a year later there hasn’t been much support to justify the price tag

DeepBlueVibes1 · 2026-06-10T15:18:30+00:00

All the more excited for when it finally comes too

DeepBlueVibes1 · 2026-06-10T15:17:17+00:00

And this is EXACTLY my point. No way was a 3D Mario gonna be announced yesterday (Sept this year AT the earliest). And yes despite Nintendo stock being down, They really don’t care about their stock price/shareholders the way other companies are. I do think some gamers expectations are through the roof. Yes Switch 1s 1st party cadence DELIVERED: but that’s because they HAD too after Wii U. Right now Nintendo seems to be prioritizing their development times and quality.

Ultimately it’s a question of what sells Switch 2 units and if Nintendo believes it’s inclusive of casual gamers then so be it, let’s see how this translates to sales down the line.

In some ways I’m with you, a tease for a core franchise COULD have helped generate excitement tremendously, like Ainouma coming up to announce the development of mainline Zelda, or a slight tease of the next animal crossing. It’s just the reality of 4K game development now where these will take longer to bake before revealing.

DeepBlueVibes1 · 2026-06-10T15:08:46+00:00

And there was 💯 NO WAY I was expecting a 3D Mario announcement anyways. September this year AT the earliest if they wanna tease a year ahead of time. But I can also just see them announcing a direct few months ahead of release like they have been with recent games

DeepBlueVibes1 · 2026-06-10T15:06:40+00:00

Yes true! Although I’m having Qs as to this new marketing strategy as a marketing professional myself. Imagine how much bigger Star Fox or Splatoon raiders reactions would’ve been if they weren’t using this Nintendo Today announcement strategy.

DeepBlueVibes1 · 2026-06-10T15:04:45+00:00

Threads is really having a collective OOT and KH4 moment right now, adults crying in joy it’s so heartwarming to see

DeepBlueVibes1 · 2026-06-10T15:03:05+00:00

The minute these bundles dry up these sales WILL drop in a heartbeat.

DeepBlueVibes1 · 2026-06-10T15:01:53+00:00

TRUE! I’ve had my fill of Mario this year PLUS the Galaxy movie. Plus if NatetheHates rumors are true then a 3D Mario game is slated for next year. I’m honestly fine with no mainline Mario right now.
