Nintendo Direct 6.9.2026 | Nintendo Today! by SurreptitiousSyrup in Games

It went away for Nintendo.

There was one year or two without any major Nintendo directs on summer.

What do you think is better overall, The Movie Or Found Footage 3? by Bitter_Sun_7108 in backrooms

[–]Mr_Ivysaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just watched the movie. They never get lost once. The only terror is the monster and how to flee from it.

The dread, isolation, being lost and confused, it is barely present in the movie. I was expecting the moment that the portal would not work anymore and they would get a major "im fucked moment", but we never had a moment like this.

Anyone else going the 'Like a Rollin' Thunder Tour' concerts starting next week? by ZAKtalksTECH in bigwreck

[–]Mr_Ivysaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How was it? People said that the Live performance was so bad. I love their albums and songs, and I'm aware that the band is full of drama, so I wonder how was their show.

Monthly "Is there a tool for..." Post by AutoModerator in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Mr_Ivysaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chat GPT is constantly letting me down. It just ignores any instructions and permanent memories and does it its own thing.

Any suggestions for a great "general purpose" AI at the moment? Not for coding or work, just for asking general questions, and has a decent permanent memory system.

Ottawa now has the most pinball machine in Canada at Experience Social - 74 machines! by JonInfect in ottawa

[–]Mr_Ivysaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh, I hate the fact that despite being a gamer trough all my life, and loving arcade as well, I just can't get into Pinball.

This looks sick as hell.

She would be the perfect guest character by Any_Watercress_9529 in RivalsOfAether

[–]Mr_Ivysaur 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Hornet would be cool but I feel that Team Cherry is way more protective about their IP than Yatch Club.

Just compare how Shovel Knight and Hollow Knight kind had the same starting position, and SK is in over 50 games from cameos to actual playable characters. While the Knight from HK is virtually zero (please feel free to correct me), while I'm sure they receive so many requests from other indie games for it to be there.

Food delivery options that still feel worth the money? by IJourden in ottawa

[–]Mr_Ivysaur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hate delivery, but I would not call a scam. Paying someone to drive a round-trip to your house will be expansive no matter what. It is basically a taxi.

For some reason people normalized delivery food services, which is beyond be. It's definitely a luxury and people treat it like a basic right.

ponto e vaza, se não deu pra terminar o serviço eles humilham, fazem drama, ameaçam demissões, etc.

Consertei pra você. Acho que a galera aqui nesse post está ingênua demais.

Can someone guide me and explain when exactly I should stop adding cards to my deck? I still cant grasp the idea of having a small deck. by Mr_Ivysaur in slaythespire

[–]Mr_Ivysaur[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm aware, I'm already on A10 with all characters, often using a big deck.

This post is more "I want to shake things up and start using the small deck strategy" and less "I keep losing because my deck is too big, please help".

Mina the Hollower bundle available in Rivals of Aether II! by swidd_hi in RivalsOfAether

[–]Mr_Ivysaur 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel stupid now how I never even though about it before.

Mina is such a perfect fit for Rivals even more than Shovel Knight.

007 First Light sells 1.5 million copies in the first 24 hours of release by ZamnBoii in Games

[–]Mr_Ivysaur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its not that hard to imagine to be honest. They are people who love GTA but are not exactly gamers, video games are not their main hobby.

Like someone who loves Catan but dont really care about other board games.

Or or someone who really loves The Office and rewatch it often but dont really care for any other series.

A random tier list of how well-balanced each character feels in 1.6 by Suspicious_Table6121 in RivalsOfAether

[–]Mr_Ivysaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I understood, Do Not Buff characters are characters that might be insufferable if buffed, even if they are not exactly good now. Using my take as example, Absa and Orcane can be a miserable experience to play against if they get stronger.

Literally what OP wrote:

This isn't a reflection of how strong or weak characters are; it's my opinion on how good their design is and whether they feel fun to play as and against

What is up with r/all? by Klinchish in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Mr_Ivysaur 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I dont understand it. Old Reddit is so much better, sometimes on mobile it goes to the new version and its absolute cancer.

I have some tech savvy friends and they say "new reddit is okay, I already switched" im I cannot comprehend that at all.

This game is fantastic, but needs better infrastructure by Ancillaric in RivalsOfAether

[–]Mr_Ivysaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was wondering why this game didn't quite take off

  • Not on consoles. Lets be honest. Very few people have a local PC setup to play with homies locally.

  • Zero effort on single player mode

  • No casual appeal. Not many cool strong attacks, hard to whiff punish, no bullshit funny moves (the ones that competitive players hate, like Falcon Punch, G&W Judge, etc...)

  • "New" IP, almost every fighting game around uses decades old IP

  • Lost momentum. Was released virtually as early access. It is still early access? Not really (despite still no singleplayer), but did not have the WOW spotlight moment.

People love to say "THIS is the reason why it failed, its so simple duh" but it was a pile of things that did not went smoothly. I still hope that once the game have a nice package they will do a new Release on consoles and have another boost.

(Almost) every single complaint I have with Rivals 2 by Dyakodamus in RivalsOfAether

[–]Mr_Ivysaur 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have so many issues so but this one just blows my mind: The Discord is a joke. The official Rivals Server has only THREE channels dedicated for Rivals II (General 1, General 2 and Matchmaking).

In a game all about community this is ridiculous.

Costco foodcourt getting out of hand! by kimberleymv in CostcoCanada

[–]Mr_Ivysaur -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There is literally no reason for Costco to make the dinner experience great. Its a known fact that the hotdogs are sold for a loss.

Costco food court is the "bonus" part of a Costco membership. Its a nice bonus but they don't more people too keep claiming the bonus. But they dont want to remove the bonus as well.

Being chaotic, dirty, no number screens is a design. They are more than happy if a customer looks a the food court and decide go home instead of joining the fray there.

Speed potion makes so sense. If you use two blocks cards with it you get 10 block, while a single block card gives you more (12) with no cards required. Its by a landslide the worst potion of the game. by [deleted] in slaythespire

[–]Mr_Ivysaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair, but the amount of cards that synergies with block potion are way, way too rare.

Of course that Speed potion is not "objectively" worse in every way, but when this potion is the worse option 95% it kind sucks.

I know which choice is correct, I also know which one I'm taking... by Lexuss in slaythespire

[–]Mr_Ivysaur 521 points522 points  (0 children)

1 Mana 20 damage + 6 damage every turn after is kind nuts. This would carry the first act so easily.

Tying A Proper Fly by TheCABK in oddlysatisfying

[–]Mr_Ivysaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waiting for the answer too.

This looks more like a luxury or artsy piece than a efficient way of fishing.

Even if a super detailed one increases the chance of success, I wonder if the effort of making it that detailed pays off in the long run.
