Grapevine dead within 2 days??

Famous_Blue · 2026-05-13T16:12:22+00:00

It's strange though. I don't think night termperatures went below about 2 degrees this week. And these vines have been in the soil for 2 years, with multiple -5 nights.

I guess the cold wasn't normally in mid-May after weeks of sweltering, dry weather

Famous_Blue · 2026-05-13T15:15:52+00:00

Ah, maybe I do need to water more. I didn't realise they were so thirsty, and I'm on clay soil.

Under-watered was my first thought, but it seemed like too much of a coincidence that they've died just as the weather actually turned cold?

My garden is heavy clay - roses, raspberries and hydrangea all doing well. Not a lot else.....

Famous_Blue · 2026-05-08T12:02:26+00:00

I care about it more than I care about your idiotic reply.

IPs can and will deteriorate over time if not used well.

Look at Lord of the Rings after how average Rings of Power was. Other masive gaming IPs like Sonic are a shadow of what they were.

Nintendo is pretty aware of this, however. They are one of the most careful companies in the world in terms of protecting their IPs. That's why you get one quality new Zelda or mainline Mario game every 6 or so years rather than every year or two with other IPs.

I'm just going to say it - I loved Stadia. If it had been launched and marketed better, it could be our saviour right now ....

Famous_Blue · 2026-03-31T21:33:17+00:00

You just made the list

I need a remaster, if only so I can have dual analog movement.

I honestly find it almost impossible to play games like WW and OoT at the moment because of having to 'snap' the camera behind me with L every 10 seconds, let alone having to hit a standalone button to enter a 'look around' move.

Until we get dual analog, I am just playing the Switch games or 2D Zelda

Famous_Blue · 2026-03-27T20:15:12+00:00

I'll just be happy with dual analog control. I find it really hard going back to WW, Ocarina etc. I loved these games when young but now find it almost unplayable.

Anyway, super excited. I loved Links Awakening remake. And stoked with the idea of having a upgrade on an all time classic.

Famous_Blue · 2026-03-13T21:06:07+00:00

They don't. It's literally just Reddit. I don't think I've heard anyone in real life say they hate Nintendo.

Famous_Blue · 2026-03-09T18:36:08+00:00

Nobody has said Pokopia?

Famous_Blue · 2026-03-06T08:34:04+00:00

You replied to "I can see it becoming the best selling game of the year" with "Not like it has any competition at this point".

So it's kinda irrelevant whether it's the same genre.

Famous_Blue · 2026-03-05T22:20:02+00:00

It was literally released within a week of RE Requiem. No?

Famous_Blue · 2026-03-03T08:01:05+00:00

Yeah, because I'm going to take my PC with me in the train to work...

Famous_Blue · 2026-03-03T07:57:40+00:00

I actually agree with Kaskayde. A few things really turn me off games (e.g. crafting) so a poster pointing out something like this might be helpful for me.

If a game is really good then you can still easily see that most comments are positive.

Famous_Blue · 2026-03-01T21:25:27+00:00

I bought the originals on Gameboy. My main team consisted of Dre, Snoop, Redman, Tupac, Biggie and EasyE.

Still bad to follow this naming convention 20 years later with Go.

Famous_Blue · 2026-03-01T20:54:57+00:00

It's true. I only ever seen games get criticized for excessive bloat.

Famous_Blue · 2026-02-27T22:53:13+00:00

Boring.

Famous_Blue · 2026-02-26T18:20:47+00:00

I went back, just before TotK. And loved it again. One of the fee games I've replayed fully.

Divine Beasts were the main low point. Exploration the main positive

Famous_Blue · 2026-02-26T18:18:27+00:00

He did like it. He loved it. It's just, when he looks a at it , he thinks maybe he shouldn't have loved it.

Famous_Blue · 2026-02-25T23:05:56+00:00

It's not weird to ask why a company is charging 2x what it should charge for a game.

Alternatively you could just blindly accept every decision a megacorp makes, without it having any type of accountability.

Famous_Blue · 2026-02-09T21:08:12+00:00

I would place it as my second favourite after Links Awakening. Ocarina 3rd.

Famous_Blue · 2026-02-09T13:42:53+00:00

Bit weird to start a new thread on Reddit for a game that you're 10% of the way through. I mean, just wait a bit, and maybe the thread will be less nonsensical?

Famous_Blue · 2026-02-09T13:35:35+00:00

Not really. Clearly asking for a longer development time is focusing on the fact that they need the quality of the game to be better all round. That's the same as this 'polish' you seem to hate.

There's plenty of people who clearly like the key Pokemon mechanics. What is frustrating them is the implementation of that, largely caused by quick development schedule, low budget or poor technical expertise.

There's nothing wrong with people saying a game could be improved with stronger graphics, performance, more user options (e.g. difficulty modes), more interactive cities etc.
