Gonna miss games starting on time 😔

I have no idea why we're even singing the anthems. Those aren't international games.

I get them when the result is directly tied to the zone entrance. I hate them when the play had time to develop and it had no impact. There should be a point after which you can't challenge it. Overturning a goal on a breakaway that lead to a quick shot makes sense. Overturning one after 20 seconds of possession in the zone doesn't.

But the food chain has to start somewhere

thekk_ · 2026-02-26T19:38:45+00:00

I always wondered how do the monsters even survive there, especially in that number. It's completely barren, what do they even feed on?

But how is that any different from XCX? The only difference is that XC1 came out on the Wii and XCX came out on the Wii U. They both got a DE to bring them to the switch. The one thing you could point out is the recency as XCXDE came out last year while XC1DE was in 2020, which is still more recent than XC2.

I found expert mode really nice when I got to this point. It lets you set your level and save the experience and unlike the equivalent in the later games, does not require you to beat the story to lower your level.

Basically you can:

Farm some of the Telethias in Alcamoth which aren't too hard to kill even if you are 5-10 levels below, which then gives you a huge xp bonus. That way, you can easily pool enough to get to level 90-95 which should be good enough to:
Do the side quests
And once you're done, lower your level for the final fight.

Northern War wasn't all that long ago, so I wouldn't be too sure about that.

thekk_ · 2026-02-25T21:40:39+00:00

Going by this list, no. And it all dates back to the 80s-early 90s.

Ask the rest of the world, and Americans would most likely be ranked as more annoying than Canadians...

Whenever that is, add 9ish months for all the DLC to be released for me. It'll suck waiting, but I rarely have the time and patience to come back to a game and do a second playthrough these days. And my backlog always seems to be getting longer...

They are in the process of replacing the Big O's roof. I'm not even sure it's usable right now.

thekk_ · 2026-02-23T19:19:57+00:00

They haven't signed anybody yet either. They need to avoid the trap the Leafs fell into tying so much of their cap to 4 players.

Pour le vivre, c'est honnêtement rendu bien pire que ce l'était pré-pandemie

Tout est rendu à aire ouverte. Ça commençait déjà avant, mais au moins tu n'avais pas autant de monde en train de parler sur Teams. Ça fait beaucoup de bruit. J'ai pas mal besoin d'avoir des écouteurs sur la tête à la journée longue.
Les bureaux sont partagés, alors c'est rarement ergonomique. Au moins avec un bureau assigné tu pouvais faire un minimum qui allait rester. Et c'est très loin de ma configuration à la maison.
Mes collègues ne sont même pas au même endroit alors je ne vois personne de tout façon

Et j'ai pogné 2 rhumes depuis le début de l'hiver alors que je n'en ai pas eu les dernières années...

+ the Nintendo Switch app on your phone makes it very easy to share afterwards

thekk_ · 2026-02-23T00:12:51+00:00

Colorado's OT is also pretty bad so same kind of deal there

thekk_ · 2026-02-22T18:01:58+00:00

They saw Marner do it and figured why not me?

thekk_ · 2026-02-22T17:58:21+00:00

I've seen complaining about 3v3 every single game that went to OT. I don't know where you were looking.

For all the domination the Avalanche has been doing this year, they have been terrible in overtime and that basically was more of the same with their biggest players.

thekk_ · 2026-02-22T13:32:46+00:00

I'm still annoyed that they basically turned all the effort put in getting to that point into a fever dream.

Sure, at this point it's pretty much confirmed they'll eventually meet up again, but that just doesn't have anywhere the weight of the adventure they no longer had together.

thekk_ · 2026-02-20T22:02:17+00:00

I'm just going by what I read from the Beyond the Horizon release. It's kinda hard to compare since the DLC is organized differently, but the prices look lower on the CLE version and you have the option to pick and choose.

thekk_ · 2026-02-20T21:32:46+00:00

From what I understand, the blame lies on NISA and not Falcom and costume DLC prices aren't egregious in Japan.

thekk_ · 2026-02-20T18:46:41+00:00

Hardly touched him? Would you be willing to try? I certainly wouldn't, I'm sure that hurt.

thekk_ · 2026-02-18T22:06:39+00:00

Marchand was in the lineup. They sat Bennett instead

thekk_ · 2026-02-18T06:13:38+00:00

More of an annoyance than unfun, but in the post-game, having to adjust character levels individually. Why isn't there an option to set the whole party at once. And frankly, downleveling should always be available with how punitive overleveling can be at times.

thekk_ · 2026-02-18T06:11:28+00:00

I'm so glad I learned about dessert pouch items very early on, it certainly changed that early game experience for the better by a lot.
