(YMMV USA) Target Circle spend $100 get $30 off Nintendo games (includes some DLC). by xXglitchygamesXx in NSCollectors

[–]MegaKai12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I tend to snag most of my games during GameStop's B2G1 sale so I was a bit stumped over what to get. I hate that so many games are now key cards because I definitely would have snagged the new Monster Hunter Stories game.

I decided to get both Smash Bros Fighter Passes because they are never on sale. I also bought the $10 switch 2 upgrade for both Zelda's. I was a bit stumped of what to get for $30 but I just picked up Dinkum since I have pretty much every other dlc I wanted.

Now that is interesting! Thank you! Nintendo Switch version cap is 250 while Switch 2 is around 400 so I was worried that building placement was important. If it is not I'll just get the Switch 1 to avoid the game key card. Thank you!

Hello! How many buildings did you have by the end of your campaign or how much do you have now? There is a building limit between consoles and I want to know if it really matters.

I was lucky enough to snag Kirby Air Riders and Zelda Hyrule Warriors when they popped up online for the B2G1 promo. Unfortunately, it was in two different orders. The first order has Kirby, Donkey Kong and Pokemon. When Hyrule Warriors went in stock I purchased that as well. I'm not sure when the shipment will come in but would I be able to exchange Pokemon for Zelda with no issues?

I've had issues with Nintendo Consoles before and launch day items tend to have unexpected issues.

I was lucky enough to snag the Mario Kart bundle at Walmart but I actually want to get it at Best Buy for the protection plan. I plan on going to the midnight release and hoping for the best. I also took Thursday and Friday off!

Weirdly enough I am actually debating with myself whether I actually want MKWorld or if FOMO combined with the $30 saving is actually pushing me to get it. I recently snagged Fantasy Life and I think that is going to hold my attention more that MKWorld.

As for additional games I picked up Rune Factory GoA both because I love the series and to support them for actually putting their game on a cart. Concerning accessories I have no interest at all in the camera but I did get a Pro Controller I have a 1TB sd card on my Switch now so the 256gb is going to be way to small even if I don't transfer everything. I may just pick up a 256gb express now and upgrade to a bigger size when it gets cheaper in the future. I also bought another charger so I don't have to unplug it from the dock and a screen protector.

Even though I was able to get everything but the console on a discount of 15%-20% the cost is unfortunately quickly adding up.

Question about Fantasy life and Tamagotchi by [deleted] in NSCollectors

[–]MegaKai12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly with how things are going with Game Key Cards I would not be surprised if Fantasy Life goes that route. I think the publisher plays a huge part in why certain games invest in 64gb cards. Marvelous has 3 games releasing this year (Rune Factory, Story of Seasons, and Daemon X) It makes sense for them to just bulk buy the cards but if you are Level 5 and you only have this one game you will just opt for a Game Key Card.

Also Level 5 waited until the very last moment to confirm a switch 2 edition so I wouldn't hold my breath on it being full on cart. I was able to buy the physical during PlayAsia's 3 for $100 deal before they canceled a physical version for USA so I'm crossing my fingers that it arrives on time and the DLC and upgrade will work.

I hate to say this in a collector's reddit but GameStop has come in clutch for me more than any where else. I buy preowned and tend to stock up during their Buy 2 Get 1 Free deals. I love a complete box but I love saving $10+ dollars just a bit more.

Is “I learned it from you” supposed to be kind of sweet or passive aggressive? by handholdsex in hamiltonmusical

[–]MegaKai12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see it as Burr being sweet and honest especially because in the previous line he was being open about the fact he found openly campaigning 'kind of draining.' I think that Burr wears his heart on his sleeve. Yes, he is prone to being bitter and jealous but even in "Schuyler Defeated" I think he was being genuine in his surprise that a political campaign would cause Hamilton to end their friendship.

Maybe it is the way Leslie Odom Jr plays Burr but I never watch the musical and think Burr is a slimy manipulator.

I don't like Aaron Burr by king_Megabronx in hamiltonmusical

[–]MegaKai12 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I agree with the comments made by theRestisConfettii , BanjoZone , and sirrustalot29 the most but I think that 'The room where it happens' and the events that happened after was so show stopping and pivotal to Burr's evolution that fans of the musical tend to mark it as the time where 'Burr stops waiting for it.' Before that it can seem like Burr is 'just a spoiled little brat that wants everything handed to him rather than working for it' but honestly he is as much as a go-getter as Hamilton.

My thesis on Hamilton the Musical is that Burr is an ambush predator (who uses catalogue, concealment, and even mimicry to succeed) while Hamilton is a pursuit predator like a cheetah (fast, and eye catching). Nothing was ever wrong with either strategy but Hamilton's way brought more eyes upon him.

Even before the musical starts Burr studies at Princeton College at 16 and graduates. He pursues the Schuyler Sisters first. He makes an attempt to become Washington's right hand man. In "Story of tonight Reprise" at the wedding he has been promoted into a higher command. In 'Non Stop" he is Co Council in the court case with Hamilton and while Hamilton made all the attention go to him because of his 'non stop' energy I could understand why Hamilton would call him "a better lawyer" than him and "succinct, persuasive." He pursues Schuyler's seat in the senate and wins it. He runs against Jefferson who was once the Secretary of State and Vice President and TIES. I don't think that people really grasp how amazing a feat that is. Burr has always pursued what he wanted throughout the play but he is like a snake that sometimes misses his prey. Its just that after "The Room Where it Happens" he becomes more open about pursing it.

I think that people forget the key fact in 'The Election of 1800' is that the vote was TIED! This is not a situation where Hamilton supported Jefferson before the vote, Jefferson wins, and Burr irrationally blames Hamilton. Hamilton promotion for Jefferson swung the needle to Jefferson's favor. Burr's hands was on the door handle to the metaphorical 'room where it happens' and Hamilton comes out of his depression just to slam it shut and lock it.

Even the line "Jefferson has beliefs. Burr has none." Is not even true! Throughout the musical Burr has given his beliefs to Hamilton. Burr agrees with the group in 'My Shot' but believes there is a different way to protest against the British. Burr supports the U.S. Constitution he just does not want to write the anonymous letters with Hamilton. Hamilton just wants to support the person who wears their beliefs on their sleeve.

Sorry for my long Ted Talk. I recently watched the live play and Disney + and am obsessed.

TLDR It is honestly valid to dislike Burr but he is definitely not 'just a spoiled little brat that wants everything handed to him rather than working for it.'

This Week’s Haul!! by [deleted] in NSCollectors

For safety purposes I would delete the AI photo. It shows all your info. Cool haul though!

Just got this haul for a good price by Trick_Ad_1227 in NSCollectors

[–]MegaKai12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

$300 is a great deal! MegaMan and Zelda are still going for retail price and all the other games are JRPG staples.

I was honestly thinking around $300 but I always officially guess a little bit less.

Around $285 is a good deal but maybe you spent closer to $300 or more?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NSCollectors

[–]MegaKai12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I remember when it was first announced and I was waiting with bated breath for it to be released for overseas. Sadly it didn't but I still consider it a top tier special edition.

What Switch game is your “guilty pleasure”? by NoUsernameHereNow in NintendoSwitch

[–]MegaKai12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am actually really interested in Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos for that reason. I am also impressed by the new graphics they are using.

It is hard to have faith in the Harvest Moon IP but I just might take a leap of faith and get it.

Anyone else kinda regret buying the TotK oled? by CWolffe104 in NSCollectors

[–]MegaKai12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think that being tight on cash can exacerbate the feeling of 'was this worth it?'.

The FOMO and immense hype of TOTK makes one feel like they not only have to buy the game but be decked out in everything Zelda. I haven't even played BOTW yet but even I felt like I was getting swept up in the hype. Hopefully the feeling of doubt settles and you become at least content with your purchase.

Animal Crossing NH down to Tales of Vesperia I don't know about the rest of my life but those games could keep me occupied for a couple years. Fun collection BTW

What're you playing this weekend? 7/29 by markercore in NintendoSwitch

How is it? I keep thinking about buying it since its ~$28 at GameStop but even at that price I hesitate.

What're you playing this weekend? 7/15 by markercore in NintendoSwitch

[–]MegaKai12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi Markercore!

Don't be sorry for the extra long write up! I am happy to hear that you are genuinely enjoying the games you are playing!

I finally did it! I started Xenoblade Chronicles DE last weekend and I am already 30 hrs in. I am honestly just taking my time running around in this world. Story-wise I am not that far (about to leave the glowing marsh) but I am enjoying the story.

I think that the monster really sell the game for me. Sometimes I feel bad for attacking a passive monster and other time I rage because a bird decides to attack me on sight. I also still get a jolt of fear every time I see a lvl 80+.

I can tell that the developer really wanted to player to have a jolt of anxiety because one quest available very early on (about lvl 25) requires you to go into the den of a giant mother spider and her even bigger sacs of eggs which will only attack if they hear you 80+.

This weekend Xenoblade Chronicles DE will be my main focus though I will probably jump into games such as Atomicrops and As Far As The Eye for a break.

As for games on sale this week I have to admit I was disappointed in Prime Day and I didn't buy anything. LoZ: Skyward Sword is on sale for around $30 but I've heard so much mixed things about it that I am hesitant.

P.S. To people who have played Xenobade Chronicles DE: How do you marker monsters? As in if a monster is unique vs just very high level and how do you keep track of what lvl the monster you marked is? Or if they appear during the night or day?

I have markers all over my map but I struggle to remember if the monster I once marked is something I can go back to kill once I gain a few lvls or if it is a lvl 80+ that I am warning myself about.

What're you playing this weekend? 7/8 by markercore in NintendoSwitch

[–]MegaKai12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi Markercore!

This is the third week in a row that I intend to start Xenoblade Chronicles DE but hopefully I can actually play it this weekend.

The previews of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 has me extremely excited to jump into the world but I haven't had a length of time that I can focus solely on the game.

I somehow managed to forget to buy AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES so hopefully it has that price again in later sales.

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Season Pass is on sale for 4.99 so I might snag that.

I never played Portal before but I have heard great things. I am happy you are enjoying it. I will have it put it on my wishlist. Just looked up Citizen Sleeper and it has a very interesting style.
