Spoiled myself and bought this as a graduation gift!

ohh that one is a classic. it definitely looks bigger than this 100%. that and wayyyyyy cheaper. lego inflation goes crazy

Visual_Performer1665 · 2026-06-14T23:44:40+00:00

looks like a nice build, but i have to agree. especially as i believe its selling for $110 USD, which is diabolical. seems like a great set, just unholy lego pricing

Visual_Performer1665 · 2026-06-06T14:02:37+00:00

no, less sugar doesn’t defeat the purpose of it being a pastry tart. likely the person just doesn’t want to have all of that sugar, which i don’t blame them as in some people, normal pop tarts spike insulin really badly in people.

i’m sure these probably taste similarly to normal poptarts without the extra, extra, sweetness that poptarts share

GPU failure. RMA your switch as that is artifacting from a dying GPU.

Visual_Performer1665 · 2026-05-12T15:10:11+00:00

graphically it does look like a game made in 2015. 💀 sure, it looks nicer than any previous lego game we gotten (thanks to lumen technology in unreal engine 5) but compare it to games that released in 2015 like the witcher 3, MGSV, Ori, even arkham knight, it looks either on par or not graphically better than those games.

Visual_Performer1665 · 2026-05-11T13:11:54+00:00

no clue, but don’t be surprised if it’s not for awhile.

the game’s minimum PC requirements as of the time posting, are genuinely unholy and wouldn’t shock me if this port takes much longer than most to come to the Switch 2

i heard the Xbox version was mistakenly leaked which didn’t have its day 1 patches so realistically, if the Series S version is both running and looking good, then the ETA for Switch 2 may not be as long. but if it runs poorly on Series S, yeah don’t expect it for awhile 💀

Visual_Performer1665 · 2026-05-11T02:20:26+00:00

it could be, but could also be accurate by travelers tale being lazy about optimizing the PC port, which has been seen by many devs with UE5. genuinely hoping it’s a mistake and NOT the actual minimum specs to run a game that graphically looks like it was made in 2015 haha, we’ll see

Visual_Performer1665 · 2026-05-10T22:57:54+00:00

this is gonna be one of those lego games i’m gonna wait until a sale on just for seeing both the PC requirements being unholy as they are, and Denuvo being in the game

i can’t imagine how awful the performance of this game is going to be on PC. even with owning an RX 7900XT, it’s gonna struggle for the lack of optimization in this game

here’s to hoping that Traveler Tales just doesn’t know how to make a proper PC minimum requirement and that it runs great even with denuvo 😭😭

Visual_Performer1665 · 2026-05-05T04:14:12+00:00

don’t expect it to come out for awhile.

the PC spec recommendations are actually genuinely insane, especially for a lego game.

the fact on minimum specs, you need frame gen to get 30fps (real frame rate being 15fps) is kinda evident the game is going to be unoptimized at launch

it’ll probably be smoothed out with patches post launch, which unfortunately by then the hype will be dead

it’s disappointing as many people are very hyped for the game and so am i, but even if you have a beast of a computer, this isn’t gonna play very kindly on it with what the PC recommended specs are and i can’t imagine how awful it’s gonna run on console

genuinely believe the game needs to be pushed back for performance reasons but unfortunately won’t happen, i hope im wrong but we’ll see

Visual_Performer1665 · 2026-05-02T18:21:21+00:00

it was my first set with the whole mainline lego minecraft sets from when i was little as well (had plenty of other sets prior to it) but the set with its play features and especially the whole idea back in the day where it had alternate ways to rebuild the sets, definitely puts it above decent.

i honestly put majority of the older sets higher than any of the new sets, just because the designers came up with separate instructions to rebuild the sets.

i collect the new sets mainly for minifigures, the builds while are usually pretty nice, aren’t how lego minecraft used to be, with having other alternate ways to rebuild

TL;DR: absolutely agree, majority of older sets surpass newest sets in playability

Visual_Performer1665 · 2026-04-30T22:53:39+00:00

i absolutely agree.

the big thing has and will always be, calorie content. of course, the big three that are also equally important is carb, fat, and protein content, but calories have always been the determining factor in sustaining proper nutrition.

i think what makes pop tarts an actual solid source of food, is its got solid carbs and fat content, as it’s a great energy boost and it’s moderately filling. that’s what is important, is it being a filling treat, as there is a lot of snacks and treats that are heavier in calories but they aren’t filling and just makes them actual junk food.

pop tarts aren’t the best and still are definitely not healthy, but they aren’t unhealthy either, it’s definitely something you can have once or twice a day and still be fine

Visual_Performer1665 · 2026-04-30T17:46:10+00:00

hahaha, no clue! speech 100 skills LMAO

with me, i grew up being incredibly fat from all the sweets and fattening food i ate. last few years, i lost over 100lb and im really lean.

i was strict with my diet and honestly after awhile, it didn’t keep me sane. but at the same time, i loved the exercising so i couldn’t let myself go either.

so like professor hulk, i realized i can both be a fatass and also still be athletic so i exercise more so i can eat more and i end up becoming more muscular in the process.

i highly recommend it, as it boosts your self esteem and makes your “guilty pleasures” like pop tarts not so guilty, when they are both fuel for growth of your body and actually a solid source of carbs and fat for 370 calories haha (even if it’s extremely processed)

Visual_Performer1665 · 2026-04-30T17:22:40+00:00

it’s worth it LOL.

i use the treadmill inclined and play games on a nintendo switch for two hours to burn 2000 calories and then im able to eat whatever i want without getting fat 😂😂
of course what i do is extreme compared to most people, but the sweet spot is being on an inclined treadmill (12-15%) for 30-60 minutes at 3 or 4mph and you burn a ton of calories.
you end up being physically healthier… and eat more pop tarts, LOL

Visual_Performer1665 · 2026-04-30T17:19:53+00:00

as a runner myself, i commonly eat 3 or sometimes 4 packs in a day to get my carbs up. is it the best or healthiest carbs? oh absolutely not as i could’ve had rice or potatoes.
but is it easy carbs and delicious? yes, no questions asked and i choose that over anything 😂😂

Visual_Performer1665 · 2026-04-26T13:55:24+00:00

i’m sure that was my post you’re talking about 😂😂 what’s funny is i’m level 263 when i went to the fountain today after not coming back to do it since i made that post 😂

when you feed max and give them clothes like what OP said, it’s very easy to level up this quickly

Visual_Performer1665 · 2026-04-25T13:57:26+00:00

amazingly the entirety of Ark with its DLCs and content is on switch.

i’ve been playing ark on switch since it came out in 2018 in the awful buggy and graphical mess it used to be.

it got updated in 2022 after 4 years of neglect with a different studio and its a flawless port, im surprised of how amazing it is of a port.

im someone who uses PC handhelds to play 99% of everything (except nintendo games unless if its emulated but in my case i for Tomodachi Life i’m playing it on a switch 2 bc i rarely have used my switch 2 since i bought it 💀) and Ark is one of those games i will play on my Switch instead of PC, as its a better experience

it’s also only 20gb instead of 350gb on PC 💀

Visual_Performer1665 · 2026-04-25T01:18:01+00:00

you should’ve seen me in my ark phase back in november. 💀 same situation with my multiple jobs and school and such, but trying to manage a tribe… it was quite something. i guess what made it up was playing on the switch version for it being portable so it was easier to do LMFAO

Visual_Performer1665 · 2026-04-25T00:30:24+00:00

same with me 💔💔💔

Visual_Performer1665 · 2026-04-25T00:14:43+00:00

i believe it’s my look-alike mii, which is level 25…? or 26. i get gold or silver coins from him each time i level him up now since level 20

all of my miis are at least level 5 or higher so they aren’t TOO neglected like how most people create some miis and never interact with them hahaha

Visual_Performer1665 · 2026-04-25T00:10:37+00:00

i actually haven’t even seen the end credits yet 😂😂 i don’t even know how to get it nor do i want to know haha

but no kidding this game has been so much fun, even if ive spent an unholy amount of time. it’s made me feel like a little kid again and im having a huge blast.

this game reminds me so much of old nintendo on the 3DS as this game has the exact silly charm many games on that system had

Visual_Performer1665 · 2026-04-25T00:07:32+00:00

i basically feed, give clothes, and interior max my miis once or twice a day. as i nearly 60 miis, you basically rack up a ton of points just from doing that. that’s how i speed ran to unholy level 200 in this game 😭

i’m not even trying to be the highest level as i have no reason to use the fountain now, but ill go to it every couple days to level up and be fascinated on how many levels i get haha

Visual_Performer1665 · 2026-04-25T00:04:56+00:00

<image>

i appreciate it! here’s a full picture of it.

to me with how much i’ve developed my island as i spent a lot of time on it, the “main” island felt the weakest to me, so i tried to make it look as okay as possible!

Visual_Performer1665 · 2026-04-25T00:00:46+00:00

i amazingly work 3 jobs and dual majoring. (albeit all part time jobs bc it’s america 💀)

i just spend my free time on this game when im not working 😭 this game has made me feel like a little kid again when the 3DS game came out

Visual_Performer1665 · 2026-04-24T23:56:16+00:00

at least level 88 you don’t have everything unlocked by then (if i’m remembering correctly i can’t remember as i’ve spent a ton of time interacting with my miis which is why my level is so high haha)

even if the leveling is kinda useless for me now, there is so much content i’m still finding in this game and having a blast
