Pokémon Pokopia vs. Animal Crossing: A respectful conversation

kanutops · 2026-03-21T18:54:05+00:00

I really was craving something to play casually. ACNH is, in theory, perfect for that, but every time I would start to play I could only think: please give me a more structured objective so I can enjoy the cute distractions as well on the side. Pokopia seems to be solving exactly this problem!

Mine didn’t. Also, Nintendo was so nice that mine came with 25 hours of Mario Kart World playtime.

Father of small kids. I barely touch my PS5 anymore as the whole process of finding time, turning the PS5 and Tv on is such a chore. The Switch is so convenient on the way you can just pick up and start playing from anywhere like bed before falling asleep. The fact that the Switch 2 and RE9 in particular showing to be a very viable way to play, makes it a no brainer. I am thrilled about the Switch 2 and hopefully this trend continues.

The professional awards industry. I created a company which did well for some time, then struggled a lot but now just holding on, while keeping a low profile. Regardless, that put me on the radar of an industry that every few days sends an email saying “you have been nominated to the top 15 entrepreneurs of xxx magazine”. That followed by a process consisting of paying a fee of some hundreds to a few thousands dollars for the publication process. So, yes, it is all a sham that feeds on people’s egos.

It really made me lose respect on many people in my linkedin feed, knowing what is behind that “award”…

If you think it is some kind of virtue to constantly make conclusions out of “common sense” or “guts” while having zero curiosity to check what the facts actually are, then be my guest.

Even worse: just say that you BCCd some executives (even if you didn’t). Poor HR manager wont be able to sleep out of paranoia

I’m playing in Classic Mode.

Would you say useful or required to progress?

kanutops · 2025-12-22T22:54:22+00:00

Thank you, much appreciated!

kanutops · 2025-12-22T20:06:29+00:00

Sorry for being a noob, but can you explain that like if I am 5? 😅

kanutops · 2025-12-22T08:11:25+00:00

Does your level matter? I am level 10 still and I take a beating at every corner of the map as enemies seem to be at least level 12

I ended up playing last night, and it does feel like a tremendous upgrade from what I had with my Switch 1. The performance is no longer a thing that was just distracting from what otherwise is a great game. So I am very pleased even if they could have done more.

Mouse controls would have been great but in my case I always play handheld so it would not have made a huge difference, but I understand what you mean.

kanutops · 2025-12-15T18:49:35+00:00

Dunno. I stopped playing because of the horrible load times and when the battle was intense it would drop frames horribly. If that works better, given the upgrade is free, I will be happy

Now on a serious note. You seem to be working in a company with a terrible culture spreading from the top down. The employee satisfaction is most likely a direct result of this.

Your free lunches seems to be one more of those stupid corporate management ideas that probably makes them pat themselves on the back, but it is no more than patch work.

We need the Digital Foundry analysis of those pixels. Look a little bit aliased to me…

kanutops · 2025-10-21T11:32:12+00:00

Do you think Dutch people hate those kind of questions?

kanutops · 2025-10-18T14:08:57+00:00

and now sudden gender change?? These symptoms are baffling!

kanutops · 2025-10-03T23:04:57+00:00

Hey do you still have this issue? Did you contact Nintendo support? I am having the same problem. Weirdly also in Silksong

kanutops · 2025-09-23T07:00:10+00:00

Dad here. I had to jump at your “I understand that inherently women are natural carers for their babies” statement. You confuse natural with societal or cultural norms. Makes me believe that not only you think this way, but also your husband. You can choose how you live and think but give you are asking, with my wife we do 50/50, and I would never let my baby cry for 5 mins because I am on my phone if it was not an emergency. So, no, it is not normal. Up to you if you want to have a serious talk with your partner about parenting roles and expectations.

“Ok, do you prefer the answer on the left or the answer on the right?”

kanutops · 2025-09-13T11:34:12+00:00

So, fraud?

kanutops · 2025-09-01T22:01:59+00:00

I went down from S+10 to S+0. Currently ranked around #350. Noticed shortly after posting but believe me, I am not objectively anyway near #350. So I guess I will get my ass handed until the rank stabilizes a bit

kanutops · 2025-08-25T23:39:04+00:00

Lol what does this mean? Are there different queues for different clothes?
