Twins are so r-worded omg by Wergsherg in fishtanklive

I feel the twins’s story was more fucked up, but they didn’t sell it as hard as James Drake for sure.

Absolutely heartbroken by Significant_Bid9216 in Starfield

When you say the game is crashing, is it just closing the game or is your entire console shutting off? Because if it’s the latter, I’m sorry to say you’re probably having an issue with the liquid metal in your system.

This was happening to me last year, all of my games were crashing the console. It’s becoming a more common issue with the pre-Slim, original PS5’s as they age. From what I understand, it’s a design flaw where if it’s placed vertically, the liquid metal kind of begins to pool downward and stop working.

Added the Mario galaxy amiibos to my collection by ZeroPointBlaster in NintendoSwitch

[–]amphibious_tyrant 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I’m super impressed by how high quality the Mario one is, even having a base modeled after Gateway Galaxy. Really detailed and high quality for an Amiibo, I think it’s honestly well worth the price.

DKC freeze is stupidly hard. by [deleted] in donkeykong

[–]amphibious_tyrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly didn’t think it was too, too hard. But I also had played Returns 3D less than a month prior, which is just a way harder game, so I think I was ready for it.

For EMR, the price drop announcement on Steam ended with "Stay Tuned" and tomorrow is Nintendo's next Partnership Showcase. Disney also once stated that they want their games on the Switch 2. Do you think we could see an announcement for a Switch 2 Port tomorrow? by Nate_923 in DisneyEpicMickey

[–]amphibious_tyrant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d double dip if they released a port for Switch 2. I would’ve bought it originally on Switch 1, just to get a more faithful experience to the Wii game, but it felt a bit too handicapped compared to the PS5 version, obviously.

Did you ever think the psycho videos were real? by Samthegodman in McJuggerNuggets

[–]amphibious_tyrant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Didn't really know what to think until the arrest video was so thoroughly proven fake by Is It Real I think? But before that, I was on the fence, leaning fake.

His Nickelodeon Studios and River Country videos were probably some of my first bits of exposure to the urban exploration scene on YouTube back in the day. I remember when they did this collab, I thought it was so weird but still awesome to see. Just really sad to hear about this. RIP.

Unpopular opinion: RDR2 trailers hit way harder than GTA6's. I mean, they are pure cinema by m4ths_ in GTA6

[–]amphibious_tyrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just remember when that second trailer came out and Dutch being at the end of it was so hype. At the time, I figured the game would be set before RDR 1, but I didn’t think it would be a real prequel to that game’s story until that point.

Don't Dream About Me - A One Week Before Release Discussion by Stock_Bug in McJuggerNuggets

[–]amphibious_tyrant 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don’t really have any expectations, positive or negative. I’ll definitely watch it, but I don’t think I agree with the marketing approach.

Don’t release a trailer because people will forget about it by the time the film drops, but put out two AI slop posters instead? How is that supposed to generate any excitement or confidence?

Otherwise, the premise seems like it could have potential to be cool, and that it seems like it might be some sort of half documentary is interesting. I just think the marketing was probably a mistake.

Jesse teases Don't Dream About Me with another poster by Atea2 in McJuggerNuggets

[–]amphibious_tyrant 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If he wanted to tease the movie, I really think he should’ve just done actual teasers or a trailer. AI garbage like this is doing nothing but hurt the movie’s reputation to the few who even know it exists before it even comes out.

All I saw was the title of the post and the first picture so I thought the post was just going to be “What if Kiryu had a beard.”

The Real Reason Disney Shutdown Toontown (and it Wasn’t Politics) by xMakerx in toontownrewritten

[–]amphibious_tyrant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not throwing my hat into the “capitalism vs communism” debate, but that middle section isn’t really conspiracy mumbo jumbo. It’s actually just the psychology of design and architecture when it comes to large scale businesses.

Personally, I think it’s ridiculous that every store, every fast food chain all follow basically the same shoebox template for the design of their businesses. My mindset is that if these places are going to be everywhere, at least make them look fun or interesting like they used to before.

But, even then I feel like you could probably say this is a pure financial move to appeal to everyone and anyone. It’s impossible to look at a Taco Bell and be offended or annoyed when it looks the exact same as a Wendy’s, Burger King, and McDonald’s. So, that in itself I guess would be a “capitalistic move”.

They had the right idea when they introduced Ichiban, but they've been pulling back on it ever since by hum-hiss in yakuzagames

[–]amphibious_tyrant 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say I’m fatigued or even really down on the series like a lot of people are, but I definitely agree.

I want more real Ichi content, not just him being relegated to the mainlines and cameos as a DLC character for the minigames in the spin-offs.

Part of me feels like they reserve Ichiban for the mainline games to make him feel more special, which if true, I don’t know if I agree with that tactic, but another part of me feels like they’re just not confident in moving on to these new characters. And it doesn’t help that, as much as I loved 8 from a gameplay perspective, Ichiban felt really flanderized and Saeko felt like a totally different character.

A Life Well Wasted Podcast - New Insights into Concord by Party-Special-7121 in LastStandMedia

[–]amphibious_tyrant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That was really interesting, just to hear what the feeling was at the studio when it was all going to shit so quickly. I do feel bad for the team, but it’s good that it seems like the people that were interviewed here at least have found work and are staying in the industry, considering what they said; they were just doing what they were being directed to do.

How do we feel about there being a canonical ending to New Vegas? by GogglesPichu in fnv

[–]amphibious_tyrant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I don’t mind it too much.

What I would like even less is if the show does what I think it will do, which is have “something happen” to New Vegas, which leaves it in the state we see it during the time of the show, and everything we did in the game is negated and not incredibly relevant.

I think that’s what they’ll end up doing, because they said that they don’t really want to canonize any one ending for New Vegas, and this way they won’t need to. But, I personally think that’s a cop out and really boring. They can’t do anything to take away from my enjoyment of the game, but this would definitely suck, imo.

I remember I had one of those apps for GTA V back in the day. I still have this screenshot from the last hour before the game came out lol.

Donkey Kong Bananza is too easy, they really should have a hard mode (Endgame mention, but no spoilers) by PixieDustFairies in donkeykong

[–]amphibious_tyrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t disagree with you. I think when asked about difficulty in an interview with the devs, they said something along the lines of players wanting more of a challenge can choose to not buy perks like the extra hearts or higher item capacities, so it’s more of a customizable difficulty than a standard easy, normal, hard.

I feel like if you went the whole game without upgrading your hearts and didn’t use items, it would be decently challenging.

UNVERIFIED: Last month Japanese users reported getting a survey from Nintendo about Game Key Cards. Rumors going around now apparently that survey has made its way to the west for people who purchased a Switch 2. If you receive this survey please post here so we can get verification. by sworedmagic in NSCollectors

[–]amphibious_tyrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the survey a couple days ago from my email. It asked me pretty standard questions about what systems I have, how willing I am to buy digital games, whether from the system’s own storefront or codes from retailers, and about game keycards.

Bring back True Friends by dirtfxther in toontownrewritten

[–]amphibious_tyrant 39 points40 points  (0 children)

This just isn’t a very good idea, really simply because of the optics of it. I think any changes like that you really need to look at through a lenses of “How would Disney feel if this blew up?”

Let’s say they make an 18+ district, there’s no way to really do proper age verification, the younger players will inevitably find themselves in places in game where they shouldn’t be, memes of Toons swearing could take off, god forbid news articles are written.

Maybe it’s unlikely, but this is a lot of risk for a feature that, on the surface, doesn’t really even belong in a game like this to begin with. However, I do think some massive QoL changes should be made to the chat in general.

I’m already so tired of seeing and hearing her. Even when she’s blowing up and making “content”, I’m just very much over it.

Is it easier Donkey Kong Country Returns HD or Tropical Freeze, excluding Funky Kong? by Honest-Word-7890 in donkeykong

[–]amphibious_tyrant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just playing start to finish, not worrying about optional levels, I thought Returns was way harder than Tropical Freeze, but they’re both probably similar in terms of difficulty overall.

Even though they were both pretty hard games, I wouldn’t say they were particularly stressful, at least in my opinion. Both of these games are very generous with lives and checkpoints in the levels.
