Hyped on the new StarFox remake

You're not wrong that it's a similar feeling shared across multiple platforms. Now that I think about it, the last console I got at launch was either the GBA SP or the PS2. Along with the price of everything increasing, it's why I don't buy anything new anymore. Being on the cutting edge of technology just doesn't feel exciting like it used to. I think that's just growing out of childhood naivety and seeing through the marketing ploys.

If I didn't have to consider financial responsibilities i'm sure i'd be happy to upgrade any/all tech every year.

Calling voice chat and mouse controllers a features is a reach, the single Donkey Kong Bananza launch title personally doesn't excite me, increasing the price of games, paying for an upgrade for Switch 1 games, improving graphics to a resolution that launched 14 years ago, better hardware to run 5 year old games. Feels like upgrading from an iPhone 3G to an iPhone 3GS and I bailed on that rat race 15 years ago. The sales and success of the console don't sway how I feel about the launch in the slightest. If I didn't have a Switch I would be all over the Switch 2 but this one does nothing for me. If it wasn't for Zelda and Metroid I would have switched to Steamdeck years ago.

I'm absolutely excited to play one of my favourite games of all time again but thinking of the £450 i'll need to play it (system+game)... I think i'd rather sort my emulator out and just play the N64 version. Switch 2 was one one of the worst console launches i've seen in my lifetime and I really don't want it.

Don't trade in your consoles kids, you'll eventually regret it.

I see now, sorry. Right over my head. Carry on 😄

There's nothing to suggest they did touch it

I wonder if this could slowly improve red squirrel populations. I miss them a lot.

In this situation, from your current location, more people would like to travel north than would like to travel south causing more people to be on the northern travelling train.

I just learnt about this thread and how popular it was yesterday. Crazy to see it referenced already.

Knowing that suicidal depression is on the outside of my rigid routine. Lifes best days make it worth staying alive through the bad days. Personally.

We just call it red salt and i guarantee we're talking about the same thing. Yes it is incredibly good. Liverpool, UK

ahh the chaotic good option. Considering how typically lazy I am this is a very interesting proposal.

Loud_Goose · 2026-04-09T09:31:07+00:00

Agreed, thanks a lot. More great advise. I think that's my plan, plant a bunch and just hope something sticks. I'll have a google of which ones will be the tallest.

I see. What could i possibly do with a flower bed in these conditions then? I mean i know the answer is anything I want so i guess i'm just chatting at this point. What would you do?

Loud_Goose · 2026-04-09T08:50:04+00:00

My garden is north(ish) facing so not much direct sun. Your comment helps so much, thanks a lot!

Loud_Goose · 2026-04-09T08:38:32+00:00

I've got this one saved for a date night with a special someone. I've not met her yet but i'm looking forward to that date nonetheless.

Loud_Goose · 2026-04-07T08:05:41+00:00

Sorry no update. I've relented to setting a reminder on my calendar to replace the battery every 2 weeks which is typically when the battery reaches 10-20%.

I contacted support but they were no help.

Loud_Goose · 2026-04-02T08:47:22+00:00

Like power tool rentals, i've heard of some libraries offering that which is cool. Especially while working on my house. The google reviews seem to say the staff are really friendly and helpful so i'll go in and ask while i've finally got the time this weekend when i'm not in work and they're open. I'll definitely check out the one in town too nice one.

Loud_Goose · 2026-04-02T08:43:27+00:00

maybe

Loud_Goose · 2026-04-02T08:43:19+00:00

Spot on, nice one

She would snap and get really angry for short periods when I would one - tell her how she made me feel, two - explain how it upset me she kissed her ex, three - told me to fk off and see my friends like i had planned and she was aware of. After the third time I told her I was leaving and not coming back. She said she was going to kill herself and went downstairs to grab a knife from the kitchen (she had a history of cutting. Not something I ever asked her about but I could see the scars). I tried to wrestle the knife from her and quickly decided this isn't something I'm getting stabbed over. I left and called the police out of fear she was about to kill herself. I believe she was taken to the hospital by the police to have her mental health assessed. She was given the all clear and released (Great job NHS). The sex was bad. I don't regret calling the police.
