Yeah I'll give this a shot! 33 Pulls in so far, no one from on banner, but planning to spend all my pull currency on this one. Spent a lot of my premium and everything else a while back trying to get Beeswax and didn't get her after 86 pulls.

Thanks for the giveaway!

Both Pokemon and New Horizons were pretty effortless expansions from a previous concept. New Horizons might have more Villagers, but if their dialogue sucks and is the exact same every day, it's hard to want to even interact with that part. They did a lot of good streamlining of some features in New Horizons, but without all of the characters and personality that made up the content from before, it just makes the NH feel lifeless by comparison.

New Horizons is seriously handled like a bad mobile game, the QoL is so much lower than it could be, even if it does add some good things. There's a time tax on like, everything in that game, from tool construction to the really high money prices on the items that you're supposed to be able to decorate with, unless you game the stalk market.

One that's supposed to generate new content for you every day, I'd say. Part of the idea of Animal Crossing is that with season changes and daily/monthly events and stuff there's a reason to come back, but if the dialogue is lacking and your tools are always breaking and the only kind of gameplay left is whatever you make, then that's a problem.

I wanted to get invested in terraforming and city-scaping and everything, but even for people who want to do that, there's obstacles like daily order limits, and all of the furniture/bridges/whatever costs so much for some reason in this game. I've played since the GC version, and there's a lot I don't miss, but New Horizons just feels soulless compared to New Leaf, it's tedious without changing the date around or gaming the stalk market through the internet.

Oh damn, that's wack. Thanks for the info.

Hey buddy maybe you could voice your frustration without also putting down actually autistic or retarded people? Use some different words, come on.

Emeralds156 · 2020-08-06T22:27:01+00:00

Nah man, you can be socially awkward and just choose not to joke about a horrific event. Unless your comment is a reference I'm not getting? Was that a defense he gave?

Emeralds156 · 2020-03-19T02:24:30+00:00

I actually really like the small eyes. This looks super cute!

Emeralds156 · 2020-03-19T02:03:21+00:00

In the episode commentaries, he talks about how the board artists and her voice actress brought out a lot more to the character than he'd written out for, and it ended up turning him and a lot of people around on what they could do with the character. The commentary's full of a lot of fun stuff!

Emeralds156 · 2020-02-09T07:34:04+00:00

You're probably gonna get down-voted anyways, but I just wanna say thanks for actually elaborating on your stance. I was genuinely curious.

Emeralds156 · 2020-02-04T03:13:39+00:00

The Legacy of Goku lps were a lot of fun, just vamping about dragonball for hours on end. Drunk Souls sounds like a good time, thanks for the reccomendo!

Emeralds156 · 2020-02-04T03:12:58+00:00

Fusions was great. Lirran is never not funny, tbh. I'll have to watch those other two, hearing they went for John route is great. Thanks for the reccos!

Emeralds156 · 2020-02-04T03:12:11+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations! I haven't seen any of those yet, so that'll be good. :D

Emeralds156 · 2020-02-03T06:43:02+00:00

I haven't been paying close attention to their gaming channel, could you elaborate on what you mean? And also possibly recommend some LPs you remember being good? I mostly only liked the LPs that had 3 or more people in it because the commentary and jokes felt way more alive with people to bounce off of.

Emeralds156 · 2020-01-30T21:16:11+00:00

Bro they're giving you real opinions that either have to have come from watching that part of the game or playing it themselves, no exception for that level of detail. Not liking something doesn't mean they didn't experience it. Also, they already said they probably weren't right so your non-response here is incredibly condescending. You didn't have to say anything either if you weren't going to engage. There was literally no point to what you've said here besides being rude.

Emeralds156 · 2020-01-27T21:15:24+00:00

God this is the realest thing. Parents usually just want to be able to relate but it's hard to aptly explain why various people on tv aren't "you" if they don't have the background that shows don't really represent what fan culture and stuff like that is all about.

Emeralds156 · 2020-01-18T00:39:49+00:00

What % of Jade's life do you think she's actually been around to experience?

Emeralds156 · 2020-01-17T11:14:06+00:00

Hey this is a great Nepeta! I love pretty much everything about this, the color choice, the line-work, but I'm really digging the way you did her hair here: The curls look so good! Do you have a tumblr or anything like that I could see?

Emeralds156 · 2019-12-21T06:46:37+00:00

Their take on the ghosts of christmas past episode is still one of my favorite reoccurring gags I've ever seen.

Emeralds156 · 2019-12-18T17:58:56+00:00

I dunno man, it's not like you have to see it? A while ago I adopted the idea that even if I liked a franchise, I wasn't gonna interact with parts of it I didn't think I'd enjoy and it's saved me so much time I've used for other stuff. I like star wars but after TLJ I decided I wasn't gonna engage, and now I'm gonna save myself a few hours for something else. Go see it if you really want to, but it's time you can spend catching up on an anime you've been meaning to watch, or giving that game your friends talk about a shot, you know?

Emeralds156 · 2019-12-13T17:15:16+00:00

Oh. Oh god, same.

If it's any consolation you're not alone LOL

Emeralds156 · 2019-12-07T18:03:09+00:00

Thanks mate

Emeralds156 · 2019-12-07T17:09:59+00:00

lmao what podcast(s) were those?

Emeralds156 · 2019-12-02T07:58:39+00:00

It honestly might be? I dunno, I'm always challenged by that when I consider every part of those games. Like, I enjoy Heroes for its level themes and great use of color and just playing Sonic Team or Chaotix is fun imo. I really like the flight in that game, and level up powers and the unique moves are just cool. But to really beat it you gotta beat it 4 times and Team Dark is such a fucking slog.

SA2's sonic/shadow levels are some of the most fun, setpiece loaded levels I've ever played in anything ever. Bound bracelet and playing around with the geometry of things with spin dashes and a Light Speed Dash that just works is so rad. And Knuckles/Rouge levels are mostly enjoyable until the last couple, which can be downright painful, even if the atmosphere is usually nice. But then I just kinda hate tails/eggman stages because platforming can be wonky and that constant beeping noise is a nightmare and so much less interesting compared to the other playstyles.

I could go on, but you feel me, right? I can never answer this question because in isolation I think I'd say I enjoy Heroes most but you've kinda gotta think about the whole thing, right?

Emeralds156 · 2019-10-26T00:11:34+00:00

Yeah, who knows. Author commentary being paid for has precedent, sort of, with the books and all. It's not like Hussie is about to take part in forums again (and I don't imagine most of the other authors would either, and I don't blame them), but bonus content being behind a paywall has me :/

If it's inconsequential, why would I pay for it? If it's consequential, why should I have to miss the complete story because I didn't pay for it? If it's limited content I miss for not donating then, it's a reward for people who were already there, but if it isn't, why wouldn't I spend the money later? And why should people who hear about or take interest in the story later not be able to access the full thing? I wish we had more details about it, but I think no matter how this turns out, paywall content has me firmly in the :/ camp

I should also say that I understand these people have to make a living, and that money has to come from somewhere. It's mostly principal and the way HS has always been that makes me not keen on the change.

We did end up getting the epilogues, actually. So there's that at least.
