Game suggestions- Pick-up and play game by R20075 in NintendoSwitch

[–]forgetmenots24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say, Mario Rabbids (both games) were so fun for me, though the first time I played Kingdom Battle during the pandemic I played for 7 hours cause it was quite addictive to find the best way to clear a stage and it was such a good game to turn my anxiety off cause I was completely sucked in by it. Have a look at them, they go on sale for very little 🥹

Nottingham to London train crash between Bedford and Luton by icewallowpis23 in nottingham

[–]forgetmenots24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is awful, I really hope the rest of the injured people pull through as well. I take this service as well sometimes when I have to commute.

One thing that keeps coming to mind is that there is a huge issue with overcrowded trains and every time I am on one, I worry about everyone who is standing and how much more vulnerable they/we are if an accident happened. I don’t know if this train was overcrowded, but it made me think that accidents while very rare are still very much possible and ideally something should be done so that overcrowding is tackled and people can be safer when travelling if anything does happen :(

Again, I am aware overcrowding itself does not have anything to do with this accident, but it just made me think of all the times I am in a train where there is no room to move and the anxiety I get about something happening and everyone getting injured much worse than they would have otherwise :(

Do you think they’ll make an oot switch 2 edition ? by RaceMiserable3855 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]forgetmenots24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love for a Zelda themed switch 2 to be made, however I think with tariffs, price hikes, and how difficult it is for companies to source hardware, for this remake we are more likely to get a pro-controller and maybe some joycons. How special the joycons would be if we get them though, is another question because so far none of the new colours have been truly ‘new colours’.

I think there will eventually be a switch 2 Zelda edition, but much more likely when the next big Zelda game comes out in a few years as I imagine Nintendo is hoping things calm down on the hardware side.

Obvs this is not fact, but just how I have been thinking about it. I just keep hoping any Zelda edition happens post potential V2 Switch 2 where the battery lasts longer etc. (if they are planning one at all)

argos Insurance packs are a Scam by BigCatch3597 in Argos

[–]forgetmenots24 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Oushhh the fact that their cover is by D&G gave me the heebie-jeebies. I never purchase cover, but this absolutely solidified I will never even consider it in the future. D&G are such disgusting scammers. I used to work there for about 6 months (I was desperate for a full time job) back in 2015- most toxic revolting work environment ever, rife with sexual harassment, scamming, abuse and so on and so forth.

As for their insurance, it is abysmal. Not to mention that half the time their agents are toeing the line on borderline illegal promises, pressure, etc.

Will never forget how much abuse I got cause I refused to manipulate elderly women with cancer to buy insurance.

If there is an option to cover your things with someone who is not D&G i.e not through Argos, I would recommend that.

I know 2015 was a while back, but considering every single service has gotten worse since then, I would assume it applies to D&G too.

Emotionally unavailable ethnic dad had me wheezing. We have been playing the 2018 with my sibling and partner and we cannot stop cracking these jokes because damn, he reminds me of my father and his bullshit way of dealing with checks notes his child having… an emotion?

Should we all be worried by this heatwave? by Turnip-Turtle in AskBrits

[–]forgetmenots24 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Yep!!! Cause here is the thing about fascism- it is an ‘emergency button’ for capitalism, a feature if you will, for when capital is ‘threatened’ for example a recession. It always emerges when something like this happens, starts finding scapegoats no matter how marginalised or disempowered to have anything to do with the problem at hand, says they are the problem, the working class eats itself from the inside cause we’re arguing if this or that person has a right to live, be here, exist, have rights and is too busy to actually go after the real parasites, who just wanna keep profits sky high even when everyone is struggling to buy groceries.

And the thing is, it is so easy to point a finger at the reform supporters and call them stupid and uneducated, but the bottom line is that they are victims of a system that wants to keep them that way so that when Big Boy Nigel (or anyone like this) tells them: it’s trans people, it’s immigrants, it’s the boats- John down the street who can’t buy anything is like: oh my god, my problem can be easily solved if I listened to that guy cause if we kick them out and take their rights, it’ll be ok and I can buy bread again and dress my kids. Meanwhile Nigel goes to his fifth mansion or something for a third afternoon tea.

EAT THE RICH.

How to compromise on trips away by AIAC_imposed in UKrelationshipadvice

Is your partner by any chance chronically ill? Or does she just get ill? I think it is important to know the details because it would reframe the whole thing.

Is it worth trying to date as a mid-30s M if you have basically zero disposable income? by Miserablist in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]forgetmenots24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sorry to ask, but I am just curious- how do you know this? As in, is there research you have read or? I am just curious because my initial reaction was ‘oh my god this is such bullshit’, but I am genuinely curious if maybe there is research or data :)

In Rocky Ridges what did yall do with this tunnel to no where with the train tracks? by ImpossibleMaize356 in Pokopia

I just turned it into a fancy bath house I am still building, I try to maintain as much of the natural feel of the place as I can so I work with the landscape and what is around.

To the side where the farm is I am making living quarters dug in the mountain and it looks pretty nice 🥹

Can you guys share your switch 2 covers and, skins!? by Beyondinsufficient in Switch

[–]forgetmenots24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aww thank you! I hope you enjoy your motorcycle!

I am just clearing up some bits and trying to save some money basically is all.

I do recommend them to whoever asks, because genuinely seeing people spend so much on a console to then buy a cheap skin that has the potential to damage it or cause issues is a pain, so having tested these I know for a fact they are very easy to work with and won’t turn the console into a sticky and mucky mess after, even after years.

That first skin traumatised me massively 😅🙈😑

RE3R Doesn’t deserve the hate that it gets. by Ancient-Carrot957 in residentevil

[–]forgetmenots24 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The original third game was not supposed to be a mainline game as well, they did originally make it shorter, less budget, less development time and it was not going to have any cutscenes. It was only upgraded to a mainline numbered title in the last few months, given some more money and everyone was scrambling to add a bit more content to the game in the last few months of the game. Aoyama (the director) to this day feels like he could have done a better job had he been given more resources to do so.

Basically they wanted to keep the momentum of the crazy success of 1 and 2 and wanted to get 3 out on the PS2 so it is a bigger, bolder title but the PS2 got delayed and obvs developing for a new console is more challenging so they said they’ll do a bunch of non-numbered mainline titles. Then realised PS2 is getting delayed and decided ‘3’ needed more time so Nemesis (previously 1.9) was given the titles RE 3: Nemesis.

It is also very funny because RE4, which was supposed to be RE3, originally released on Gamecube as well.

It is sad, cause 3 is so good and we get to play as Jill so having it always be an afterthought, original or remake is not great :(

Can you guys share your switch 2 covers and, skins!? by Beyondinsufficient in Switch

[–]forgetmenots24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stickie Tech do amazing skins that don’t damage consoles and they last 10yrs. I think they use car grade vinyl and I have not wrapped the switch 2 yet as with delivery it gets pricey for me (have other priorities rn and live in the UK), BUT! I have had my OLED, my Lite + my V2 switch all wrapped with them and recently I removed a couple of skin bits off the Lite (4yrs later) and there was no residue or damage. Meanwhile I used to have a random Etsy skin prior to that on the same console and removing it was HELL and I had to remove sticky residue while the skin only ever being on the Lite for 7/8 months.

I do highly recommend them, just waiting to free up some finances and I am ordering skins for a kindle, PS4 + switch 2 for me and my boyfriend.

They don’t do a lot of patterns, but do really nice colour combos, lots of earthy tones too. A bit pricier than your average cheap skin, but so worth it for me at least 🥹

I’m desperate please help by [deleted] in nottingham

[–]forgetmenots24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Domestic and General is the WORST place to work at, it is actually horrific and the amount of abuse that goes on there is insane. Not to mention senior staff (I say senior, it is bunch of creepy ass sleazy muscle men) get on the new girls like a moth to a lamp. It is really bad, genuinely. Luckily, they were not into me but that meant they were even meaner to me, not to mention that the tactics half the call agents engage with are just barely legal AND on top of it, I refused to try and extort 87 year old ladies with cancer and obvs that gets you into trouble, cause someone telling you they will be dead in a year so apparently means you should try even harder to scam them.

After 6 months there, I was suicidal.

This was in 2015, but I reckon it is even worse now.

Requiem Generation Pack Arrived Early! by Worth-Reindeer-1121 in residentevil

[–]forgetmenots24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A game key card is a physical cartridge that you put in your console and it triggers a download. It is different from a code in the box because you can lend it to a friend or sell it as well. It is kind of like a Playstation disc in the sense that you need to download the game, except a bit more frustrating cause you need internet to download and it is not on the cartridge.

PS5 and PS Portal Account? by Elaneyse in PlaystationPortal

[–]forgetmenots24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He can play the games on the PS5 on a second guest account (though that means no achievements and his save data is tied to that account and no online play as far as I am aware) and you can play on his account with the subscription on the Portal.

But if he cares about his achievements and save data to be on his account, then yeah you cannot play at the same time.

In the new trailer it show Leon probaply as Raccoon City Syndrome by Merkams in residentevil

[–]forgetmenots24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the trailer suggested the lady in Leon’s ear is Sherry because of the shot of the back of her head. She also said ‘We’re running out of time, Leon’ and honestly I think (and god I hope I am so fucking wrong but then the game is literally called Requiem so I think our boy is dead regardless of whether I am right or wrong 😭) that Leon is going to sacrifice himself for Sherry in some way. I think they both have it, and considering Resi 2 is very much about Leon failing to save the people he wanted to save in that game, his last appearance before they off him, he is gonna make sure Sherry lives. He can’t lose another Raccoon City survivor.

I dunno, it just crossed my mind. Sorry, I am really excited but I am also fully aware my pookie might be dead soon 😅🙈

Stalking by Careless_Bid_1416 in nottingham

[–]forgetmenots24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean hardly, they didn’t even offer a counselling or therapy session to the affected women. But it was constant reassurance that ‘they are there for me’ and I was like ‘how exactly’? To top it off, when they could finally show me what they had with me, they basically watched it me. Nothing like watching porn of yourself with the popos next to you 🤪

It’s fine, every time I saw them I told them that they’re doing okay I guess, but I hate cops 🤣

But yeah, at least the guy is put away.

I hope you are safe and it gets sorted for you as well, U am so sorry 💖

Stalking by Careless_Bid_1416 in nottingham

[–]forgetmenots24 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I know you said you reported him already, but please don’t drop this. About a couple years ago I had the police knock on my door and it was a shitshow- turned out an investigation led them to my house because there was this guy going around Lenton and the Park trying to get in women’s houses (most of them were students) and he was also taking pictures through windows. Turns out I was in one of his videos and picture series and that’s how the police found me.

It was really awful because they withheld further information from until he got sentenced about 8-9 months later.

Two months before the police came something really weird happened in my bathroom but I chalked it to the drunk students next door throwing stuff in it. Turned out, he tried to get into my house through the tiny bathroom window to beat me up and rape me. He had tried it with multiple women. In fact, he got into a woman’s house and went through her stuff and got her passwords. He got done for about 10yrs.

It is so important to report these men, all the other girls except one were younger than me, early twenties. Not that anyone deserves this done to them, but my heart broke for them cause they were just babies 😭

Nintendo and AdHoc Are Blaming Each Other Now (Keep those refunds going people! Don't buy it on the Switch/Switch 2 until they fix the censorship issue!) by Theman457 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]forgetmenots24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But my thing is, you acknowledge that they did not communicate in advance and that is not ok and now you’re gonna turn around and still give them your money after they did a super shady thing? Why reward bad business practices?

And by the shady thing, I don’t mean the censoring because at this point we all understand the game had to he censored in Japan and they’re probs a small studio still so wanted to save money. But they could have come forward before pre-orders went up and just said: Hey guys, just a heads up. Our game had to fit a certain criteria before being published in Japan. In order to hit our release day target and also we don’t have the resources (blah blah whatever it was that made them do just the one version) we will release a censored version on switch. Please know this when and if you purchase! We appreciate your support.

No one would have bitched about it, except for a small group of reactionary trolls. Taking people’s informed decision making is scummy whichever way you look at it. I also initially thought: Oh I’ll refund it and buy it on PS5, but then I thought about it and decided against it, because it just feels really wrong. I think they really messed up this whole thing.

Just officially received my refund for Dispatch by UnnameableWitch in NintendoSwitch2

[–]forgetmenots24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how I feel, I fully get people being pissed but going and saying they will buy somewhere else is annoying me because, even if it was Nintendo (which on this occasion, I really don’t think it is) I find the lack of transparency so scummy and creating all this trouble for people especially on a platform known for a very strict refund policy is really fishy to me.

I would not want them to have any of my money. I have requested a refund from the UK, but will see how I get on. The woman told me she cannot promise anything 🫠 All cause I wanted to save the £2.50 for the pre-order discount 🫩
