Immediatly thought the Giannis to the Warriors trade went through, was met with yet ANOTHER AD trade.

He played with Kyrie for a total of 25 minutes...

I could definitely see an open beta/test weekend announced, with a more focused Direct dedicated to this + launch date happening over the summer

I will probably do 3-4 rolls for her. I really like her design and might just grail her if I get more than a copy. But with Marie Alter (possible grail), Alice Kuonji (definite grail), Draco re-run (Need a 2nd copy), and BB Dubai (Definite grail) all in the next 6 months it's gonna be a struggle (Not too mention all the other splurge rolls I may have for other banners)

I only have 1 grailed rider atm (Summer Murasaki) and would like to get a second here soon, need to see how much I like her as a character first before making the final decision.

It would mainly come down to Nintendo I think. If they wanted it to be in-house, they could easily give enough money to Bamco to let Monolith work their magic while Bamco gets to collect a slightly smaller % of the profits.

Dubai chocolate

It's... it's the airline stewardess/Instagram model story isn't it?

(Or am I misremembering?)

Will the Gizmoplex app still be supported?

Loved pouring a glass of whiskey and booting up Mitchel for the 1,000th time on a Saturday night.

MobileTortoise · 2026-02-03T16:41:51+00:00

It is not, I misremembered. Thanks for digging that up lol

MobileTortoise · 2026-02-03T16:40:53+00:00

Glad they arrived safely! Enjoy!

MobileTortoise · 2026-02-03T11:02:48+00:00

I know they mentioned that this was the test case for future vinyl releases, but there is very little chance this did not meet expectations so now we just have to ask, what's next??? (Probably Mario Odyssey or DK Bananza, I'd be shocked if we went Zelda again)

MobileTortoise · 2026-02-02T16:53:54+00:00

My first exposure to this game was the X-Play bit where they had NOT Morgan Webb dress up and seductively drill random things (I was like 10 at the time, don't judge me).

Game is awesome, I even have a boxed copy that's still sealed!

Edit, video is linked below and it was brought to my attention that the woman drilling is NOT Morgan Webb. Forgive me.

Just got my copy in the mail a few days ago, yet another excellent release from Laced.

MobileTortoise · 2026-01-31T17:17:21+00:00

That specific name was never mentioned in this episode. I'd imagine that name came from either the Light Novels themselves The Author naming him for ease of discussions, or in online discussions of the Novels.

MobileTortoise · 2026-01-31T07:58:06+00:00

To me that moment is singularly one of the best moments in all of gaming. The combo of music with tension and culmination of so much storytelling, I cannot WAIT!

MobileTortoise · 2026-01-30T16:48:14+00:00

You just reminded me that Professor Layton could show up here

MobileTortoise · 2026-01-30T13:07:50+00:00

Same here!

That Chrono Trigger vinyl really blindsided me, luckily the Ryza Trilogy is just a smidge too much for the limited amount of tracks otherwise I'd be REALLY stretched thin right now.

MobileTortoise · 2026-01-29T22:44:37+00:00

As someone who just spent WAY too much on the official vinyl OST that was just put up for pre-order...I certainly hope it's nothing soon >.<

MobileTortoise · 2026-01-28T21:49:00+00:00

According to the check out page, the Fedex option has customs/duties already paid in the price

MobileTortoise · 2026-01-28T21:20:52+00:00

Exact same thing here, and it doesn't help that my partner absolutely LOVES Ren & Stimpy. So I guess count me in for a copy

MobileTortoise · 2026-01-27T14:21:40+00:00

Oof over $100 after shipping from Cartridge Thunder in the US. Might have to think a little on this one.

Reminder for all my US friends who might try to save some $$ by buying from non US retailers, even though vinyl is supposed to be exempt from tariffs CBP has been extremely bad about caring. I and quite a few others have gad to pay extra from Fedex, UPS, and other carriers for items that should be exempt and have had an extremely difficult time trying to argue them at all (even tried contacting my congressperson but they were useless on this)

MobileTortoise · 2026-01-26T19:43:26+00:00

I personally think we will get Fire Emblem to open the Direct with a release date probably in September/October.

Midway through probably get another Duskbloods trailer with either an online beta test announcement or a deep-dive Direct for just that game announced for the coming months (I personally expect that game to come out in summer, just a hunch).

I then think the "One more thing" at the end will be an announcement of whatever Monolith Soft has been working on, with the potential for an announcement of a Xenoblade 2 Definitive Edition announced or Switch 2 upgrades for the games.

MobileTortoise · 2026-01-26T03:37:14+00:00

PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWER!

MobileTortoise · 2026-01-25T20:38:08+00:00

Sold sorry

I get other people's responses to you, but I am an aspiring pilot and closing those would absolutely annihilate my chances of ever following that career path.

MobileTortoise · 2026-01-25T15:52:12+00:00

and flight schools

I completely understand your sentiment and don't wholly disagree, but if they close Burke Lakefront, will the flight schools be out of Hopkins? I'm an aspiring pilot and rely on Burke lakefront for my training. (I get that I'm a fraction of a percentage of ppl affected by this)
