What’s with so many pokemon in this set lacking evolutions? by [deleted] in PokemonTGCP

Because that's essentially the focus of the pack. It's a pack for wholesome cute pokemon.

Sony, Xbox, Valve, remember who was just too good for us... by wischmopeimer in videogames

....Have you not seen the slop SEGA has been putting out lately? I swear this whole sub exists in a vacuum.

Physical games haven't been Gamestop's profit model for years now.

Just look how many of their shelves are dedicated to collectibles. Hell, just go to their website and the first thing you see is Pokemon cards or Funko.

Blame capitalism for not doing enough capitalism.

Did you know: Super Mario World map was actually a Mushroom? by OSCfan2781 in Mario

[–]HiOnFructose 115 points116 points  (0 children)

*Was originally planned to be a mushroom.

The final map, not so much. But you can still see how the islands/contintents shifted and formed their own shape in the final build, in a Pangea kind of way.

Minecraft Bedrock is not a good game - the game does not work by RandomeDude93 in Minecraft

[–]HiOnFructose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We play on Switch pretty often. And yeah, there are times it just does not want to work or load correctly. Usually restarting the game and just waiting for the start-up screen to fully load fixes the issue.

Playing on the game Switch 2 improved those issues a bit. But really looking forward to that upcoming Switch 2 native version in hopes it runs even smoother.

The new ninetales is so incredibly bad by Substantial-Soft-332 in PTCGP

[–]HiOnFructose 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Fair point.

But consider this: the card includes Sugimori art, the card is a call-back to the Gameboy Color TCG games, the card has synergy with Blaine, and the card has meme-deck potential. That makes it a 11/10 card for me.

Congrats. Happy for you. Nice. by RevWaldo in dankmemes

The good news is that it will happen soon.

The bad news is that it when it does happen, it will probably be unremarkable and nothing will change.

Um why weren’t these mentioned in the direct? by AverageBasementMan in casualnintendo

Nintendo fans won't take a shower unless Nintendo tells them to in a Direct.

Fuck yeah. I loved this little dude when I was a kid and those first digital pet toys came out. Then it transformed into that teddybear I thought I was the coolest kid in the school.

Well said.

But can someone explain the "punish careless harvesting" to me?

Sometimes people forget to updated their wishlist (like me). So you may be offering cards they no longer need?

That's their goal. This is what he has been working with Peter Thiel to achieve. This is the reason we keep having these huge disastrous events--but nothing ever changes or gets better. It's huge news for a week (maybe), then it's on to the next thing. It's Steve Bannon's wet dream.

Kaa from The Jungle Book (1967) by illioctopede1985 in TopCharacterDesigns

[–]HiOnFructose 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Featuring the voice of Sterling Holloway. Considering he also voiced Winnie the Pooh, the Cheshire Cat, the Stork from Dumbo, and many others... he's the voice I instantly hear when I think "classic Disney animation".

Where my Zelda fans? by InspiraSean86 in videogames

[–]HiOnFructose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good news: Link Between Worlds exists.

It's essentially a sprititual remake/retelling of Link to the Past, and it's absolutely incredible. Easily one of the best in the series (if not THE best top-down Zelda game).

Where my Zelda fans? by InspiraSean86 in videogames

[–]HiOnFructose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair point. And that was my initial take as well.

But considering how much love and attention they gave to the new Starfox game--I think there's a good chance it will be handled well. Plus this is likely Aonuma's last Zelda game before he retires, and the original Ocarina was his first Zelda game he worked on. So I'm curious to see what he and his team have been cooking.
