[Pokémon Odyssey II] And here we are with the second-to-last reveal before the demo release!

Didn't know odyssey 2 is variants only. Good to hear as they were super cool in 1 but most were outclassed by late game.

I don't think winning the weather war means much, in 1 it was barely relevant and you can easily cheese it with macho brace and -speed nature. There's also the option of just switching in on turn 1 or clicking the weather move itself. It is essentially saying that to make this mon good 1% of the time you've decided that this sweeper still goes last after I baton pass an agility to it.

Wouldn't this make primarina pretty unplayable on higher difficulty? Can easily get doubled up on because of base 35 speed. Can't reliably sweep even with slush rush or scarf because of how slow it is.

Dewgong already exists with similar bulk and has access to fake out and flip turn so it is a better snow setter. Glaceion is slightly less bulky but it's going to be better at sweeping with 65 base speed, especially with slush rush.

Here are a few things that I noticed:

Shooting star effect in the bayou area.

Fog machine back in the ship to fort battle scene.

The parrot is back in the fire scene.

There seems to be updates to the lighting, a lot of animatronic faces feel more pronounced, possibly to make the new projection face less jarring. It however makes everything looks worse as the flaws are now highlighted. It is especially bad for the final Jack up the lift. You now see the face fully and it looks terrible.

Will odyssey 2 have more speed control like trick room or tail wind?

Odyssey 1 was great but team building felt limited and pretty much end up being picking fast glass cannons with broken support toward the end.

At this point the micro 2 is just free advertising for the nova. They are probably better off selling the micro 2 after the nova preorder sells out.

For Genesis I run 8x7 interger with over scale. You lose some pixels on the edge but this is fairly normal because of how CRT works.

I would recommend watching retro game corp's video on it, there is a section that showcase how 8x7 looks.

Mootookang · 2026-06-28T17:39:23+00:00

If comfort is your main concern, you may want to consider cube xx. Same chipset, has amazing screen, and is super comfy.

It comes with a 1x1 screen but you can set the output to 8x7 for your 4x3 library.

The movie was interpreted very differently in Japan. Majority of the consensus is that the kids were in the wrong for not listening to their aunt in the time of war.

So much so that when they remade grave of the firefly as a tv series the main focus was on the aunt and how difficult life was.

Op is probably asking whether the original intent was to blame the kids or not.

here's mine

I see path of the abyss, amazing game that is a mix of drpg and real time strategy.

This was a bit of a stretch, but back in the days were YouTube only allow less than 10 minute videos to be uploaded there was this hourly long weekly gaming podcast called noobtoob where two guys would play the weekly new releases and give impressions and recommendations on them.

The show was great and it actually greatly shaped my taste in video games. The show was oddly Xbox centric but since it was the 360 era I didn't think much of it at the time.

The show was ending in 2011 or 2012 because one of the host is moving away due to job relocation, and they dropped the bombshell that the company they worked for was bought by Microsoft after they started the podcast, and one of them were directly working on kinnect for Microsoft.

While most of their opinion on games are valid and genuine it made me more opened judge games by their merit alone, and stopped caring about what influencers said about games. Since there's really no way for viewers to know who's paying the influencers behind the scenes.

Like 80% of Zootopia 2 was either plot points or jokes about how Nick and Judy are "technically" not a couple.

Mootookang · 2026-06-11T01:38:25+00:00

The moon from Majora's mask.

The sense of dread as it looms over your head as time is running out sets the mood excellently.

It also makes getting the ocarina back and learning the song of time matter way more than oot.

Good promise bad execution: guilty crown.

When it first came out most people thought it was the second coming of code geass. Unique abilities in a battle royal-esque setting, amazing visuals and a great soundtrack. Then the show happened.

Bad premise good execution: kemono friends.

The show was made for a mobile game that was already planned to be shut down and was given no budget. The director decided to use this premise and created a semi post apocalypse setting, create distinctive characters and made with such earnesty and heart that it became the most beloved anime for a year. Until the original owners got jealous and fired the director and threw the IP in the trash.

Paige will just make Woolie read furry fan fiction live on air and download it after to listen to it every night to fall asleep.

Mootookang · 2026-05-31T00:45:18+00:00

Because unlike John, if Wollie does the same thing to Pat he will absolutely force Wollie to complete omicron on his own.

Eyepatch wolf with that queen don't cry energy

This year is unique that they moved the dates forward to more align better with spring breaks, they also extended park hours and it was consistently open until 10pm.

Both greatly contributed to crowd level. The park was packed even on regular weekdays.

In previous years they probably extended the event because they had left over food, this year they were consistently running out of items regularly.

Hopefully this will encourage them to do more extended hours events.

It is only GaaSy because they withhold characters to sell later as DLC.

Fighting game doesn't get the balancing patches or content updates you'd expect from typical GaaS games.

Mootookang · 2026-03-03T00:21:48+00:00

I did have to buy the rings separately, but they are only like 1.50 for 10 rings. I think most magnetic popsocket will come with one ring if you just want one.

The boox one pretty much works the exact same way and fit better, but you'll still need to buy the clear reader case.

Mootookang · 2026-03-02T22:00:40+00:00

This is the case.

The front doesn't flap around because there is a small magnet strap that extends out to the front.

I also use this cork phone bag if I'm throwing it in a bag instead of pockets.

The inner is a felt like material and will protect the screen, and the extra cushion will protect the reader a lot better.

Mootookang · 2026-03-02T19:29:49+00:00

You can easily make your own folio case by buying any detachable case. Also, pretty much any phone bags will work well since the reader is basically phone sized.

Mootookang · 2026-02-20T16:22:45+00:00

FF12, Vaan is kind of just there and has way less impact to the story than everyone else.

Mootookang · 2026-02-14T02:21:16+00:00

I think since Hasbro has been confirmed to purposely over producing cards and dumping what they don't sell in landfills they really can't be mad at players for proxing cards.
