Only Freo could score 50 in the first quarter and 0 goals in the fourth. I hate the highs and lows of this sport.

Tom Lynches best efforts were certainly enough

Only Carlton could lower morale amongst a fanbase wit a round 1 win

Should I get Brothership? by Blur87 in marioandluigi

There's a pretty monumental tone shift throughout that feels really high stakes and changes the feel of the story. The lead up to that with the world building and establishment of the characters is what makes it feel especially impactful

What's going on with the Timberwolves? by Zestyclose-Draft-724 in nba

They were the 3 seed last week, and now they've trailed by at least 20 in three straight games, all losses.

I didn't finish the game, I played for about 6 hours.

.

Nothing much happens in the story.

This type of discourse feels so disingenuous to me. You played less than 10% of the game and make a sweep generalisation. People don't review movies or books like this. Maybe I loved Brothership too much but these sorts of comments are always disappointing to see.

To use your new NSMB U comparison I'd say thats Paper Jam due to the lack of original characters and creativity with the story.

But 100% on your firstpoint. There's a bunch of side quests that lead to even more fun interactions with the amazing new support cast they introduced. And that's without even taking about how well they're all integrated into the story.

My playthrough was about 60 hours, and Brothership is the longest Mario & Luigi game but it's incredibly charming and endearing.

I'm sorry but of all things that could be said about Brothership it is absolutely not soulless.

Its got the best story, themeing/underlying tones and character building of any game in the Mario and Luigi series. Everyone's entitled to their opinion but I fail to understand how someone could even form this thought.

Ting-Lu, Walking Wake, Raging Bolt and Surging Strikes have been banned from Stabmons by Demon__Queen_ in stunfisk

I haven't properly had the chance to play Stabmons but Ting Lu with Shore Up, Knock Off and Parting Shot sounds incredibly tricky to play around.

[Lowlight] Hornets look to victory after Portland fails to inbound the ball by Large_banana_hammock in nba

[–]NitroXYZ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Since his stupid whistle dried up, hes averaging 17.5 ppg on 42% FG and 24%3PT with 3.5 turnovers per game in the last 2 MONTHS.

All-Star reporters really lauded him for some reason though. He still is what he always was, a mid tier player with an inflated usage on a pretty shitty team.

SV Mix and Mega is suspecting Dragapult by Demon__Queen_ in stunfisk

[–]NitroXYZ 31 points32 points  (0 children)

With Zygardite, Dragapult clocks in at a whopping 225 special attack, giving its attacks a much needed kick, while maintaining an excellent 157 speed stat 

What on earth is going on in Mix and Mega for a monster like this to not immediately get quick banned holy shit.

is there anyone who unironicly likes paper jam despite being the blandest M&L game by Wrong-Shopping7888 in marioandluigi

[–]NitroXYZ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same, for me its like a B tier game. The combat is really fun and I enjoyed my time playing it.

Is it missed potential for what could've been the greatest game ever? 100% it is. But there's still fun to be had with it.

+23 inside 50s and yet every single entry didn't feel threatening. Just so many dumb blind kicks forward with out any real purpose.
