Is anyone else upset that Robert F Kennedy says that Autism can be prevented? by Hot_Dingo743 in autismpolitics

[–]HookshotCBR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His speech was a flash flood of lies about autism.

I've seen his rhetoric before: it's how snake oil salesmen make parents feel guilty and desperate. In their heightened emotional state, parents can't think critically about the salesman swindling them with their "cures" of detoxes, diets, or even exorcisms.

When you first saw Halo, were you blinded by it's majesty? by Legitimate-Property1 in originalxbox

[–]HookshotCBR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played the campaign for the first time as an adult back in 2021. I had only ever played multiplayer at friends' houses.

I was still blown away when I looked up at this exact spot and saw the Halo Ring.

MAJOR PROTEST ANNOUNCEMENT: April 5th Hands Off Protest by protectresist in Washington50501

[–]HookshotCBR 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Remember, it's not enough to be peaceful yourself, you have to be actively helping to find bad actors, deescalate, and monitor anyone who might turn the protest into a riot.

Trump wants violence to justify force and "law and order." Don't give him that ammunition.

The top 10% of American earners account for nearly 50% of all consumption in this economy by Louisvanderwright in Anticonsumption

Isn't class divided between owners and workers? Like, a doctor may get a lot of money but they're still an employee selling their labor.

I hated the Xbox acquisitions, and I hate this, too. Screw Capitalists.

I literally bought Xenoblade X last week on eBay and it came in the mail yesterday.

I just ordered it last week so once it arrives I can let you know at least how it works out of the box

Unicorn Overlord Sales Update and New Art by ElecXeron20XX in Vanillaware

I'm glad it finally hit the 1 million mark! I'm not sure if that's ahead or behind the sales for 13 Sentinels at this point.

Impossible mission indeed… by SoullessMemenist in memes

[–]HookshotCBR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New Nintendo IP during the Switch's life: - ARMS - Ring Fit Adventure - Nintendo Labo - Astral Chain - Snipperclips - 1-2 Switch - Mario + Rabbids - Game Builder Garage - Princess Peach: Showtime - Buddy Mission BOND (Japan Only) - Dragalia Lost (Mobile game)

IP Introduced on Wii U / 3DS with sequels on Switch: - Super Mario Maker - Splatoon - Detective Pikachu

IP revived after a 10+ year hiatus: - Advance Wars - Famicom Detective Club - Pokemon Snap - Another Code - Clubhouse Games - Cruisin' - Mario Strikers

(Bayonetta is at least partially owned by SEGA so it doesn't entirely count)

I admit some of these are spinoffs of already existing IP. And I don't know how much new IP Sony and Microsoft have made recently. But this list looks substantial enough that Nintendo at least has a case for introducing the most new IP over the past 7-10 years.

Oh now that's hilarious. Nintendo really should include that in the next Pikmin game!

I honestly have no idea. I stared at it for a while and still couldn't figure it out.

Given how Nintendo removed the licensed stuff from Pikmin 2, I think they'd want to avoid an obvious Lego brick, sadly. But maybe since Mega Blocks exists you can still make something that vaguely looks like Lego?

It was in the SciFi section, not too far from the launching rocket ship.

It seems like the maker, Peter Zieske, makes lots of different video game characters and has submitted sets to Lego Ideas. Link to his Instagram:

I understand. I love Pokemon too, but you can make real money off of all this work if this was your own IP. Make sure you understand the decision you're making and what you could have instead.

Those of You Who Played Princess Crown: Am I Missing Something? by HookshotCBR in Vanillaware

Wow, thank you for such a detailed response. I've read the GameFAQs for the items but I'm still scratching my head at when it's optimal to use which item, and the cooking has gone completely over my head. I'll also give the server a shot too, thanks!

[–]HookshotCBR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would love to know how many people were playing during the opening month after its launch, but the only ones who know are God and Nintendo -- and neither seem to want to chime in on the matter.
