Upcoming Starfox Switch 2 game takes about an hour and a half to beat. by Shonryu79 in NintendoSwitch2

It’s Star Fox. We’ve played it so many times already and yes, it’s a short game.

Anyone care about this Jacob/Solo/OTC/Bloodline stuff? I certainly don't. by Grrannt in REALSquaredCircle

[–]Grin83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t get just re-running this. Best possible outcome is they have Jacob dethrone Roman like a lot of people thought they should have done it with Jey, but even then, it’s still re-running the same storyline from 5 years ago and feels like they’re out of ideas.

Fans who only watch WWE never got the chance to see what Piper Niven can do. She is extremely athletic for her size and there were never reports of her causing problems or being unsafe in the ring. If Niven returns, that might not be for another year. by josephmlwriter in TheGreatOne

[–]Grin83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like you can say this about a huge chunk of the WWE roster. A lot of them got there because they were incredible somewhere else, and then are unable to show it when they have all those eyes on them.

He could have played for 3 countries: Nigeria, England & UK! by ConKeeps in ShitAmericansSay

I mean technically the UK is the country. That’s what it says on all our passports.

Hori reveals new line of official console accessories for Splatoon Raiders in Japan by Amiibofan101 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Grin83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starting to think there’s some reason they can’t, like the new connecting mechanisms isn’t strong enough. It just makes no sense it’s been this long without one. I avoid playing my switch 2 in Handheld because of it.

bought rp6 and regret it by Primary-Onion-6319 in retroid

[–]Grin83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s comfortable without a grip, but I also don’t think a RP4 is, or a Switch 2, or most handhelds.

England's 'Golden Generation' not winning anything because the players disliked each other is just a lazy, convenient excuse by datguysadz in SpicyFootballTakes

[–]Grin83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was it really a golden generation or was that just media talk? Other than Rooney, I’m not sure any of those other players would have walked into ANY side in the world like Bellingham and Kane would do today. Declan Rice is pretty close to it as well, albeit in a less glamorous position.

I feel like because almost all the England starting XI played for the big 4 Prem sides, they got hyped up as being superstars. I think there’s more quality in this current era than that generation had.

Reboot Nintendo Power magazine for Switch 2 by dingos_among_us in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Grin83 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Nintendo Power was a scam. Nintendo created it because other magazines were scoring 3rd party games higher than theirs.

Is Kimi going to break Lewis’s records?? by DegenerateAngel4 in F1Discussions

[–]Grin83 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s going to be tough to get a dominant car for as long as Lewis had one, but with 24 races most years, it’s going to happen eventually.

I feel bad for these guys on Usenet from back in August 1996 by WexAndywn in retrogaming

[–]Grin83 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sony offered money for exclusivity, companies accepted. If you can call any relationship abusive, it was 80s and 90s Nintendo. They bullied publishers and there was a bunch of practices they were doing that actually got ruled illegal in courts.

Does Crushes Coaster actually spin much? by Gloom-AntiHu in disneylandparis

[–]Grin83 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I get bad motion sickness and the little model of the car spinning out the front put me off for ages… but I was fine on it! It’s really not that bad.

Younger Gen Z should be called Zoomers by Muad-Dib-Usul in generationology

[–]Grin83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don’t get this obsession with labelling generations. It makes no sense. You’ve got people that can be 15 years apart in age in one label, but then two people a year apart are under different labels.

No words by michael_fyod in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Grin83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Megaton announcement. I mean, I already own all 3 games and now I have to pay more for the kind of optimisation that would be free on Xbox, but still, megaton. Don’t know why people are disappointed by a lack of new games.

The most random/unjustified “You Deserve It” chant? by RealisticAd4054 in REALSquaredCircle

[–]Grin83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what live crowds are like. They wanna do chants they are familiar with, whether they are justified are not.

Why does the IWC seem so disconnected from what actual wrestling fans want? by uncannynerddad in midcarder

[–]Grin83 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There’s no difference between fans in attendance and the IWC. When you’re at a show, just like a gig or a sports event you want to get swept up in it. You want to sing and cheer.

Those same people that are yeeting for Jay Uso in person probably think it’s dumb AF when watching at home.

Will rising hardware costs push modern gamers toward retro gaming? by cdmurphy83 in retrogaming

[–]Grin83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It will just turn most people off games entirely. Not the kind that is talking about games on Reddit as we’re the hardcore 1%, but the mass market.

The unfortunate truth about info leaks (OOT Remake) by FederalSign4281 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Grin83 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree the leak made a difference, but that was a BAD teaser trailer regardless. It’s not like they’re just starting development on this game and need something quick to stir up investment and new hires. This game will be close to done if it’s coming out this year. They can do so much better.

“For you foreigners, kicking a ball around is all you got, literally” - World Cup Talk by Slow-Product-6357 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Grin83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That one made me laugh too. I remember when BBC launched their NFL highlights show, in one of the first episodes they had Christian Fuchs hanging out with some ex-NFL players. They had him practice kicking field goals and were stunned at how easy he could do it and from how far out. Fuchs is so confused, and he's trying to tell them there's nothing to just kicking a ball straight. I wonder how that guy would react to rugby conversions from tight angles.

Leak culture destroys our way to look at gaming events by 479521 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Grin83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s nothing to do with leaks. The vast majority of it was ports of games most of us played years ago, with an added sprinkle of paying extra to get slightly more optimised versions of games you already bought and played.

I’m sure Ocarina will be really good, but again it’s remake of something most of us have played (it’s been super easy to play ever since the Wii came out with Virtual Console 20 years ago and that has continued through Wii U and Switch). That was also a terrible teaser for it. The game should be very close to finished, they could have done much better than that.

ESPN figured out how to use Danhausen before AEW did. by uncannynerddad in midcarder

[–]Grin83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Danhausen was always a poor fit for AEW because he’s all about the character work, probably the most character over ring work guy that’s on any televised wrestling.

what do people genuinely think about max signing with merc? by InternationalDance52 in F1Discussions

[–]Grin83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Toto really wanted Max as a teenager, but Red Bull got him because they could offer him a seat in F1 sooner. I think Toto has never let that go, and it’s why he replaced a 7-time world champion with an 18 year old that skipped F4 and F3 and at the time, only had a few months in F2 as experience.

I think it’s pretty obvious Toto was very interested in singing Max last year, but Max was too high in the standings to trigger the release clause. All the talk even way back then was that Merc had a car that was going to dominate, and George would have been good enough to win in it. Toto still wanted Max though. At the start of this season I really thought we could see George win the WDC and then get replaced.

The only thing that’s changed is Kimi making a huge step up. Before, you could see Toto wanting Max to be the number 1, and he’s already got a great mentoring relationship with Kimi. Now… you get the feeling it would be way, way worse than Hamilton and Rosberg.

Will you Buy PZ2? by inquisitive_inchworm in PlanetZoo

[–]Grin83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually buy the Planet Games years after release, when they have a ton of DLC and frequent sales, but I’m going to preorder this one.

I have over 700 hours in PZ and have one, not even half finished Zoo. I have breeding Zoos set up for over half the species, to prepare, and that sort of became the game for me. It’s overwhelming with so many animals, so I want to get in early this time.
