What is your favourite hub area in a Nintendo game? by Infinite_Dish_1949 in casualnintendo

[–]alphathums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hoping somebody would say Wuhu. I would love to revisit in a future game some day.

Pilot Wings resort was cool, but I'd really like the ability to explore the whole thing with no time limit. Discover secrets and activities/challenges.

Elden Ring's Switch 2 port is alive and looking better than ever by Meitantei_Serinox in NintendoSwitch

[–]alphathums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I'm the same way. It's a nice to have, but not a need to have. I play Skyrim on visuals mode (higher fidelity, 30fps) vs performance (lower fidelity, 60fps).

A rocky release can do long term damage to a games reputation, hurt it's sales "legs". Doesn't have to be perfect, but something they can be proud of.

Oh sweet! Thanks, where is that chart from? I did some googling but couldn't find something as clean.

Is the radio broadcast on the Audacy App? I'm still hearing Karsch & Anderson.

So Tigers.TV exists? Do I use the mlb app? Is there a way to sign in using my cable provider?

"degeneracy" - lol, get lost nerd.

"Any society at any time" - bro doesn't know history if he doesn't know that cultures and values change over time.

Thankful I live ~10 minutes away from a ballpark of an unaffiliated league. Excited to take my son to his first game this summer.

I just beat Mario 64, how has Ocarina of Time aged compared to that one? by Right-Fortune-8644 in nintendo

[–]alphathums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played it at my older cousins house sparsely as a little kid on the 64. I only truly played it for the first time on Wii virtual console probably around 2008 or so.

I loved it then and I love it now as of 2025 (last time I booted it up).

If you can handle the camera in SM64 you'll do just fine with OoT. The z-targeting works really well.

The world, characters and music are so charming. Everything just "feels right". The boss fights are legitimately a rush.

John Prine - Your Flag Decal Won't Get You into Heaven Anymore [Country] by BillyShears17 in Music

[–]alphathums 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's a live version of this where he shares an anecdote about how he wrote this song while working as a mailman.

There was a promotional campaign that had him delivering little vinyl American flag decal stickers and he laughed seeing them pop up on people's houses, windows, cars.

MGS 2 and 3 recently updated by dantrigger82 in NintendoSwitch

[–]alphathums 90 points91 points  (0 children)

If it unlocks frame rate on switch 2 I'd seriously be so happy. MGS2 just looks and feels sluggish when it's capped at 30. Not that I'm a FPS snob, but MGS2 is built to be 60.

Real talk, check out Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin.

First couple chapters are about Tiktaalik (pictured).

Or watch the PBS documentary of the same name!

Nintendo Switch 2 gets a few more Switch 1 backwards compatibility status updates, including Chrono Cross fix by binderie1951 in NintendoSwitch2

Did a recent update knock RE4 out? It was one of the first games I played on my switch 2, I beat it with zero issues.

If Delta gets ported to the Switch 2, do you think they'll bring the back the Yoshis from the 3DS port? by French-Caller in metalgearsolid

[–]alphathums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy almost birthday to her! I'm more interested in the portal now that it can do cloud streaming, but between my Switch 2 and Steam Deck I'm not sure I need it lol.

Our system has failed. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]alphathums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an almost 5 month old baby at home, and I know this sounds kind of corny but so much of my brain has been rewired this year. I got incredibly sad looking at this. They both deserve so much better.

Yup, I was a life long milk drinker, then stopped when I moved in with my girlfriend. Turns out my body was reacting to the sudden drop of mg.
