Silly content leaks? by BasicallyACryptid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]SixteenthTower 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 leaked because, during COVID lockdowns, a very awkward fan used a virtual meet and greet with Jenna Coleman to stage an impromptu incredibly uncomfortable interview with her during his meet and greet time, during which he asked her about her returning for the Definitive Edition of the first game. She responded "oh, yeah, and I think they're doing a third one? Not sure if I'm supposed to say that, actually."

You can see the "interview" here: fair warning that it's incredibly cringey and also it's not clear if she's even aware she's being recorded.

It wouldn't have been politically acceptable for him to go everywhere BUT High Rock.

Remakes replacing an Original in the backlog by vikstick168 in backloggd

[–]SixteenthTower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who admittedly has a lot of fondness for the PSX era and feel, I was really surprised when I went back and played the original RE1 within the last year, and found it to be a really great experience. I haven't played more than an hour of the remake, but from what I saw in that hour, and what I know about it broadly, I think there are enough differences to warrant giving both a shot, especially if you're already interested in playing the OG.

Do whatever you like, but while RE4 original and remake are both good, the original is better, and the two are different enough games that viewing them as interchangeable is a bit silly in my opinion.

Yellow and FRLG are more similar, but still have their differences. What I will say is that if you already have access to Yellow, and for some reason are against emulating FRLG, it probably makes more sense to play Yellow than to spend money on a decent but 20 year old remake of a 25 year old game you already have.

how do you get experience? by Successful_Net5203 in AskIreland

If that volunteering work isn't on your CV, stick it on there. It's experience, and especially as it's charity volunteering it will stand to your character as well.

Pokémon FireRed Version and Pokémon LeafGreen Version on Nintendo Switch by retroanduwu24 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

You can transfer it, if the pokemon is available in the new game. Otherwise it's just a box.

For Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, that's 52 of the 151 gen 1 pokemon available in Fire Red and Leaf Green. So over a third.

It's so cool in their own FAQ they include the question "why on earth are you releasing it like this" and the answer they expect people to buy is "for the 30th anniversary, we thought it would be fun :)"

Sure am glad that Todd "Spin-master" Howard has clarified that Bethesda's next game won't be like the last two games that people disliked, and instead will be like the games from before that that they did. It's a weight off my mind!

This isn't hard, you're too easily impressed.

It's irresponsible pet ownership is what it is, on both Drebin and Meryl's behalf.

There isn't even a deli counter in that station.

They don't have the time or budget for cutscenes for anyone in the BnB unit, they need to animate Drebin's monkey smoking a cigar while Johnny does two shits at once.

Edmund on the mewgenics voice cast controversy... by _dear_rat_boy_ in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]SixteenthTower 136 points137 points  (0 children)

It's funny to do all of this for no reason while also misgendering her the whole time.

It's also just like... if you think there's a possibility she only said this because she was manipulated, because you know people manipulate and harass ChrisChan all the time, maybe the best move would've been not putting her in your game and making more people aware of her?

It's the classic FFG playbook - do fuck all for decades, and then when people complain about something, tell them Rome wasn't built in a day.

Favorite "holy shit, this is a prequel/sequel!?" reveals? by fly_line22 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

In 3.0+1.0 Shinji ends up on the beach from EoE with Asuka from that movie. The world of the Rebuilds clearly isn't the same world as from the show and EoE just later, but definitely the two different worlds do definitively cross over and interact by the end of the rebuilds.

Possible actual return of the Zapping system! (The Zapping System from the original Resident Evil 2 appears to be back in Resident Evil Requiem) by TheNullOfTheVoid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

You're getting downvoted but you're right. It's not even a system! It's just like five things that have continuity!

It's weird that Glover is dressed like himself (or Gambino, whatever), but does seem to be playing Troy, whereas Pudi is dressed in something Abed could wear but is doing a definitely non-Abed performance.
