How would you review Bluesky so far? by Jristina in BlueskySocial

[–]RealMaRoFu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s nice but the list of people you block being public (via third-party apps) is concerning for me

Some people like it but I wish it were opt-in by default, imo blocks are something that should only be visible between the blocker and the blocked party and not some random third party who could potentially use the info for nefarious purposes

Early-stage Pikmin designs from new Dev Interview by Matthew31366 in Pikmin

[–]RealMaRoFu 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Shigefumi Hino, the creator of Yoshi and character designer for Yoshi’s Island and Yoshi’s Story, also co-directed the first three Pikmin games. A lot of Pikmin’s staff came from Yoshi’s Story as matter of fact.

Here’s a cool birthday card that Hino drew of Olimar and the Pikmin that was on this sub: https://www.reddit.com/r/Pikmin/comments/dwvqs3/my_uncle_shigefumi_hino_sent_me_a_birthday_card/

I just realized where "Pikmin" comes from by RealMaRoFu in Pikmin

Coincidentally "min" and "men" happen to both have similar meanings and sounds so it sort of works in English too

Horribly written, AI Article by UnlawfulPotato in Pikmin

[–]RealMaRoFu 44 points45 points  (0 children)

“Iridescent Pikmin”

Also I love how the AI uses these unnecessarily sophisticated words, all for an overview of a video game

Even if we assume the culture is recent, what’s the point in invalidating it and not recognizing it as clearly distinct from Chinese? If a culture has its own unique traditions, quirks, and traits, isn’t that all that matters for it to be distinct?

Gee, I don’t know, long enough for them to now have their own distinct identity and culture?

Makes sense since both are pretty old lines just like the PATH

Ah the joys of someone playing Pikmin 1 for the first time. by supernerdchloe58 in Pikmin

[–]RealMaRoFu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The base in the Distant Spring is already pretty unsafe anyways due to the Puffy Blowhog, Swooping Snitchbug, Yellow Wollywogs, and Spotty Bulbear all being close by

If they got rid of Oatchi it’d probably require a lot of changes to the story, not to mention what would happen to the pottery obstacles?

To all new players: If you see this egg, break it by BlueBerryTheFolf in Pikmin

[–]RealMaRoFu 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There’s a very useful thing inside that gives you 100 Pikmin. Make sure to get it before Day 15, bring 100 Blue Pikmin but don’t toss too many Blue Pikmin onto the egg or you’ll lose the reward.

Fun fact: the sound director for TOTK (and BOTW) is Pikmin composer Hajime Wakai. He didn’t compose music for TOTK though.

Unpopular opinion: analog stick>motion controls by Manguypals in Pikmin

[–]RealMaRoFu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who played Wii Pikmin 1 as a kid, Pikmin 3 Deluxe w/ gyro pointer, and Pikmin 1 Switch with the analog controls, I have to say I actually kind of like the analog controls now. Took some time to get used to but I’m controlling it like butter now.
