i can confirm that pokémon is normal and lets you have multiple switch accounts with one save each on one console. which is actually a big improvement, because pokémon never let you have multiple saves on one cartridge, so on older consoles you did have to buy multiple cartridges! (thankfully you could share the console because the save was on the cartridge, not the console)
on switch, animal crossing is the only game i can think of where there’s only one save per console. and even then, i think they added save slots in the latest update
5 years later… meh. better late than never i guess.


to save you a click: the “problem” that was “fixed” is that the new joycons weren’t colorful enough. so dbrand (the “peripheral firm”) made decals with more prominent colors.


nintendo is having its PS3 moment
a comically overpriced console with few interesting exclusives made by an arrogant company high on the success of its predecessor


if you wanna do that tho, keep in mind that they’re owned by microsoft, so pirate them if possible


i’m wondering if the boycott had adverse effects and promoted the game in more gamer-centric spaces that otherwise wouldn’t have cared that much
obviously it’s a harry potter game, it was always gonna sell well. but 2nd best selling game of the last 5 years??? ouch
ngl men dating people their age would be a nice change
cause the situation now is really hammering home that if men could go lower, they would. 20 was the minimum age in that study.



honestly surprised so few people mentioned deltarune during the GOTY discussions
maybe because it’s not technically fully released yet?


and what purpose would that serve lol
dividing resources and confusing people just for what? so you can feel good having a store with the 3 retro pc games that haven’t been gobbled up by microsoft, ea or atari?
if you only want to see retro games, do i have the button for you!

or use the base’s name: quaternary for base 4, decimal for base 10…
there is a video about it, as well as how to handle an infinite number of bases with that system
exactly, it’s bodily autonomy at the end of the day
hot take, but bodily autonomy also includes things you (or i) disapprove of!
and yet the post making fun of deadbeat dads has all sorts of comments saying it’s an unfair stereotype and accusing the person making it of being a stuck up manhater 🙃

fun fact! the xbox 360 is as old now as the NES was when the 360 released 🙂

recognize that choice is good and what works for some folk won’t work for others. some people want a highly polished experience right out of the box, even if it can’t be customized a ton, and that’s fine. some devs want a UI toolkit that is solid, polished and guarantees that your app will look the same no matter the user’s environment, and that’s fine.
(i use KDE btw)


did you even read my reply
it’s hardware deterioration, it doesn’t matter how bad at coding you are, unless you’re being explicitly malicious you can’t code a game that deteriorates over time lol


my copy of pokémon y had gotten more and more unplayable over the years. at first, it would crash when viewing specific models. then, it would crash in more and more places. last year, when i last used it, it was straight up unplayable, the game would simply not boot.
thankfully, only the ROM was corrupted, i was able to salvage the save data using a hacked console, and now it’s sitting on my computer, backed up, but still… be careful, everyone.
if you have a 3DS, games with saves that matter to you, and some time to kill, make backups. 3DSes are easy to hack, and with online services being shut down, you don’t have to worry about being banned.
sorry, i should’ve said “was seen as the good guys”. nintendo’s been doing shitty stuff since at least the 80s
but that wasn’t the popular narrative back in the 2000s/2010s! just like valve now, people were more than willing to gloss over their shitty stuff because everyone else was worse. people worshipped iwata & reggie just like people worship gabe newell now.
it is your fault (collective, not individual) you didn’t change the spelling
rendez-vous’s pronounciation is perfectly regular in french
