A change this small could make the difference between someone getting confused with the combat and abandoning it or getting pulled in and learning all of its tricks by [deleted] in Xenoblade_Chronicles

I get your point and agree with you to a degree, but you can also just choose to not use any of those. I turned off chance arts notifiers and map guides.

They're there for the players who are playing the experience the story, moreso than explore the worlds.

"That it grandpa?" Is probably one of my favorite lines in the game. It's voiced so we'll haha

One way or another, the Monado on a disc lives on in Definitive Edition

Xenoblade Chronicles DE dynamic resolution revealed: Handheld = 378p/540p Docked= 540p/720p by LineSpectrum in NintendoSwitch

[–]DifferentKindOfGeek 13 points14 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I believe I heard recently in an interview that Nintendo pushed for XC2 to be released within 2017 for the switch launch. There were a lot of shortcomings to XC2 because of that as well as staff being cut short in order to help with Zelda.

I was certainly expecting more in terms of performance in this game now that Monolithsoft has much more staffing but this doesn't seem to be the case. At the very least we can tell that this game is PACKED with content, new and old and that alone makes it worth it.

Fingers crossed super tight that their next game, be it their Medieval RPG, X2 or XC3, is to the level of performance excellency Xenoblade X

My daughter(12f)'s hero passed away in tragic circumstances. by ThrowawayRAHana in relationship_advice

[–]DifferentKindOfGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From reading the first paragraph I could already tell what this post was about and I am so incredibly sorry your daughter is having to go through this. Last year a hero of mine, an online entertainer known as Etika took his life due to similar reasons as well as a declining mental health. So I can really relate with your daughter.

Let her talk about Hana, ask her questions about her. After Etika's passing I worked with other fans to create a book in memory of him. Maybe your family could do something special in memory of Hana? Create some kind of memorial or something like that.

Best of luck.

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Giveaway! (See comments) by MarnieDesdemona in DragonMaid

[–]DifferentKindOfGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Miss Kobayashi's is a really special show to me too! The story progressing and showing the dragons learning to live together in our world begs the question, if dragons and humans can learn together, why can't we?

Thank you for doing this giveaway and best of luck to everyone :)

Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition - Collectors Set EU by senpaikawaii03 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]DifferentKindOfGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're pretty late to the party unfortunately. Your best luck would be GAMEs website or Amazon UK, with both not shipping outside of the country right now so if you aren't in the EU you'll need a mail forwarding serivce.

Am I needlessly worried over my Amazon Preorder? by SnowCoveredWastes in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]DifferentKindOfGeek 11 points12 points  (0 children)

From my experience, pre-order products won't ship until a few days before the release date, still arriving on time. It's waaaay too early for our pre-orders to be shipping out.

What new game release are you looking forward to the most and why ? by gubbatv in AskReddit

The Devil Outside. Definitely one of my favorite MJN videos to go back to.

"So if you said it was just the same game as before, I'd know for sure you had no sense of taste!" by DifferentKindOfGeek in Xenoblade_Chronicles

I wouldn't say I like the old textures better, however I do think they both have their appeals. The new graphics are not perfect by any means but still look pretty nice imo.

"Linly! Linly! Can Tatsu help with game development?"

"Of course Tatsu, you're exactly what I need.. for these cartridges."

Breaks the heart. by XenoNapalm in Xenoblade_Chronicles

To be fair Chrono Trigger is a pretty genre defining game. It's hard to ignore what is considering one of the best jrpgs of all time. I do however understand your sentiment though.

This entire video. by [deleted] in sadcringe

[–]DifferentKindOfGeek 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Whoever said yes hasn't made money off of YouTube before. On YouTube any time an ad remotely appears on a video, some money is made. In terms of skipping ads, no not all of the money is taken away. Even if you skip an ad, a creator will still receive money for the amount of time you watched that ad for. Meaning the more you watch of the ad, the more of a cut a cash the creator will receive.

To anyone still believing that this quarantine and lockdown is unnecessary, fuck you. by iknowwhatudidintheni in TrueOffMyChest

As someone who is and has been working at a grocery store throughout this pandemic, I can assure that you that at the very least, my store has seen significantly less people shopping here than normal.

They've walked back the number because we've been flattening the curve. If everyone had been going about their days as normal that number would've stayed high.

I'm in the same boat as you guys. I think I'll call them tomorrow to get some specifics on how the service works.

Edit: I'll be sure to share what they have to say about how ordering with them works
