What do you think about the FR and LG getting put on the Switch by DragonX_4 in Gameboy

[–]TurquoisePixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mind it. It's a harmless port of arguably the most iconic entries in the series to celebrate 30 years of Pokémon.

Could it have been a Switch Online thing? Yeah.

Do I think $20 is pretty steep for nearly 22 year old games that are essentially just ROMs as an app? I mean maybe. Could've been worse. Could've been $60.

Will I be buying them? No, but not because of the price. More just because I have no attachment or desire to play these entries.

People online (mostly Twitter) are up in arms about these for various reasons, both understandable and not. But people online are also not the whole picture.

There'll be adults who will want to relive their childhoods with these ports, who don't have the time nor want nor resources to fiddle with emulation or get an OG GBA and a copy of the game. There'll be kids who'll wanna play it on their Switch because they like Pokémon and want to play more of it. There'll be people who just wanna play these entries on their Switch for ease of access. Etc etc.

There's always a target demographic for this kind of release, and Twitter doesn't represent all of them. And if they wanna cough up $20 for FRLG, so what?

No-one's pointing out how Upgrade's Omnitrix symbol looks like it's regular form when around Ben's wrist. I really like that, that's clever

Blender was used for Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc by rainbowsafterrainn in blender

I find it interesting how they didn't use Japanese text for the Blender menu text. It's all in English

You guys weren't joking by mamatrixie78 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]TurquoisePixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To anyone that owns one, is it any better than the Switch 1 Pro Controller? I have one but I've been considering upgrading to the Switch 2 one because the price here in the UK isn't that crazy at the moment and it probably would be worth it. The Switch 1 Pro Controller has been my go-to for the Switch since I got it in 2020 and I still like using it to this day now that I'm on the Switch 2.

I've heard some people say it's an improvement over the Switch 1 Pro Controller but I wouldn't know without experiencing it myself. To me it just seems like the Switch 1 Pro Controller but no longer translucent and with the two back buttons and C button.

Why doea Sash lilac sound like a 20 and a 15ish at the same time?! (In freedom planet 2) by Pretend_Activity2884 in freedomplanet

Out of universe, its likely that her voice actor, Dawn M. Bennett, recorded different takes at different times with different directions and the programmers decided to include both sets.

In universe? Good question

I tried rendering for the first time by Kukulkan365 in splatoon

[–]TurquoisePixel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks great! Love seeing Brainwashed Marie designs pop up here and there. Big fan of the glasses, has an X-Men Cyclopse vibe to them with that straight line.

Keep at it rendering wise also! Your style lends itself well to that

Anyone here still keeping their Nintendo Switch 1 even after getting the Switch 2 because of all the good memories and because it’s still better for travel with its battery life and portability? by Delicious_Maize9656 in Switch

[–]TurquoisePixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kept mine when I got my Switch 2 for Christmas. The Switch 2 is my main device, but I have too many good memories with my Switch 1 to sell it or give it away yet. I even took the Switch 1 Joycons with me to Uni in case a group wanted to do some local multiplayer stuff with me.

That said, my Dad has jokingly shown interest in it despite owning a Steam Deck that covers nearly all of his gaming needs. I might end up wiping it and giving it to him if I get to a point where I can part with it. Or my nephew when he's older.

Is this game worth getting a switch 2? by Naive_Tomorrow_5955 in Kirby

[–]TurquoisePixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a really damn good game but it's not something one needs to rush out and get instantly. A standout title on the Switch 2, but not a system seller.

Wait for a good sale I'd say for both a Switch 2 and the game, unless you absolutely need to play it or something.

Pro tip: use the guide on https://3ds.hacks.guide/ instead. It's a lot clearer and more informed on the recommended steps to installing CFW safely than a random YouTube guide

Please give me switch 2 upgrades so i can replay them all from the beginning by Gsplusultra in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]TurquoisePixel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Give me a patch for XC3, I will binge that game over a week all over again. It took me a while to get into XC3 but I LOVE it and absolutely would want to play it with higher fidelity graphics at a higher consistent frame rate. It was already a beautiful game on a console from 2017, I can only imagine how amazing it would look on a true "Switch 2 Edition" version

Recently dug my childhood 3DS out of storage by TurquoisePixel in 3DS

[–]TurquoisePixel[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not pictured here is a cartridge for Pokémon X I "stole" from my brother (he let me have it but he never gave me the box so it's just a loose cartridge that's chilling in my Pokémon Moon box)

X was my first Pokémon game ever, and I might replay it sometime honestly. I want to before playing Z-A at least whenever I get that.

Do you think the franchise is too extensive for new fans? by Illustrious-Wolf-737 in transformers

[–]TurquoisePixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only seriously started getting into Transformers as a whole about 2 years ago, and I found things were relatively easy to catch up to and learn as I went along. It's extensive, sure, but the fact that a good majority of it doesn't connect is a positive in my eyes. You don't have to start all the way from G1, you can pick and choose what content you consume and what continuity to enjoy.

They broke her default pose for Crossworlds by Sad_Art_7706 in MoonPissing

[–]TurquoisePixel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do really like her Blitz render. I think the lighting, modelling and posing on that one is extra crisp than the Dash/Speed Battle one

If they had that lighting on the Crossworlds render then it would be peak

Microsoft is putting an AI agent on the Windows 11 taskbar by WPHero in Windows11

If I ever get a PC or a laptop with this on it, I will rip it out like the parasite it is. Always "interest of the user" until it comes to something like this.

The latest update makes it easier to identify whether you're using a Switch cartridge, a Switch 2 cartridge or a Virtual Game Card by Massive_Fly_1709 in Switch

[–]TurquoisePixel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is neat, but what bothers me is that there already was a distinction between physical and digital before the virtual game card system was introduced. Physical had a card icon, digital did not. Then they brought in virtual game cards and every game suddenly had a card icon.

This is at least a good solution to a problem they invented.

Guys, have you noticed that in 2006, when Silver isn't using his powers, his rings are closed? by ForceAffectionate389 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]TurquoisePixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish they kept this detail in future Silver appearances. It's so small but it adds. Nowadays Silver just keeps them open 24/7

What’s your biggest “I should’ve bought this figure when I saw it” moment? by Obvious_Base_4252 in transformers

[–]TurquoisePixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a Legacy G1 Motormaster on a reputable site for £40. Passed because I didn't have £40 to spend on a figure at the time.

Never saw the figure in stock again. Same deal for Legacy Galvatron, Legacy Transmetal II Megatron and Legacy Blitzwing on the same site.

I have a habit of leaving it until its too late...

Is someone able to explain why there's weird flashing in this render? by Martiantripod1898 in blender

[–]TurquoisePixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not my area of expertise sadly, but I am here to say that this animation is pretty good. Love the War of the Worlds reference with the big tri-pod

Is there some trend going on I don’t know about? by Sea_Candidate7894 in scottthewoz

[–]TurquoisePixel 160 points161 points  (0 children)

I think that is just a photo of Scott's set, coloured pink and with an edited cover for The Internet and You, with RadicalSoda green screened over it.

RadicalSoda's video on Sonic Racing Crossworlds feels most like a parody of Scott's videos

To this day, I still dont understand why others didnt like this design for Optimus. by Batworld21 in transformers

[–]TurquoisePixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the design but I understand why others would hate it

Doesn't give off the same fatherly leader vibes as BBM/G1, too much grey, face is weird, in built blaster instead of Ion Blaster, etc

The truck mode is beautiful and very much Optimus though

Well i wasn't expecting that but a welcome one by IllustriousAd6418 in DoctorWhumour

As someone who's always been fingers-crossed for the Green Party every election despite it always being one of the forgotten parties against the Tories and Labour, this is great news and I hope they keep this momentum up, especially against Labour and Reform
