It's a decent fit for mobile as these things go but it's not a fully featured AC game. It's not quite as blatantly a miniaturized version of the genuine article in the way that FE Heroes was but it's still clearly the free to play version of Animal Crossing. When it comes out on Switch it'll be a much more substantial game.

Mobile games are bad but this'll be fun for a few weeks at least. Yes like all mobile games I'll probably also despise it once I'm finished with it but that's fine too. My animosity towards Fire Emblem Heroes has all but disappeared after a brutal hatred lived in me for so long

Kershaw got taken out at 83 pitches and Keuchel was maybe even fewer. Extremely short especially compared to the rest of the postseason.

Since Kershaw is done dominating the Astros are now allowed to score all the runs they please.

I also wouldn't want a GPS tracker on my bike. I know we give out our information all the time like it's nothing now but I would probably draw the line at letting random people know where my bike is all the time

I mentioned a show I was watching the other day and no one replied. I can't help that my non nintendo interests don't get posts. And I also can't help that football is a boring, bad sport

With the Switch if I fail to preorder a game on amazon I'll probably just download it. Even with my carrying case it'd be nice to not Ave to worry about the carts. I do like the cases for Switch games though despite how wasteful they are

I pre-ordered. Amazon. Gotta get that prime saving

Same. I preorder games on amazon all the time because of those savings

Evil Krusty doll was absolutely terrifying to me as a child. Evil dolls were always a problem for me. The only media to ever give me serious nightmares that I can recall was an episode of a goosebumps show where Shia LaBeouf got a doll that came to life as the Sprouse twins and it was evil. I literally tried to make an excuse not to watch it because the commercials were so scary but Brian and our sister were both hyped for it. Then for some reason after I recovered from the trauma I watched it again at my grandma's house and it was arguably worse the second time.

This sucks. I can't even have one bad opinion.

I'd say I'd be willing to try DKC2 again but I don't see how that could ever happen. Switch VC I guess.

Git gud.

Never.

Chewy deciding he kind of liked Pokmon was a beautiful healing moment for this topic but it robbed us of our common enemy as he joined our side. I will now become your enemy.

I've been playing a little Donkey Kong Country on my SNES classic. I've played it a bunch over the years so this is an updated opinion as an adult, not a first timer thing like chewy and Pokmon. It's fucking bad you guys. The characters are too big on the screen so you don't have enough time to react to an enemy presence unless you already know they're going to be there. It's fucking insane. The little rats inside stone wheels coming for you are enormous and you have to jump on snakes you can't see to avoid them. What the fuck??? Then you got those vultures throwin seeds at you and if you want to jump on them you need to time it versus their fucking seed throws that kill you while some other shit is no doubt raining down upon you. Probably there's a series of kremlings trying to jump on you or some shit. It's also just bland compared to for example the two Mario games on the SNES classic. They're so bright and colorful and wacky in addition to being extremely tight and interesting platformers. The platforming challenges don't feel compelling to me at all, just jumping on tires and onto moving platforms.

Worst of all though? I almost can't even say it because it hurts too much, but someone has to tell the truth around here. The mine cart levels are GARBAGE!!!!!! These were my favorite levels as a kid and I was looking forward to seeing how they stacked up after finishing the lackluster first world but god damn. The challenge or the entire game is based entirely in the fact that you can't see enemies coming and the mine cart concept takes that idea to the extreme because you also are restricted to jumping as your only way to evade. It's extremely unfair. I can't imagine how bad the late gimmick levels must be.

I've been walking around acting like I've beaten this game before but now that I'm thinking on it I realize I've never finished a DKC game outside of the one on Wii because they always frustrated me too much. I had both of the first two on SNES and then on GBA and never finished either of them because I'd always get to some level that I absolutely hated. Have I been living a lie this whole time? Do I, the man who called DKC1 a fringe top 10 SNES game, actually hate Donkey Kong Country? I'm not planning on playing all the way through to see if it gets better after the first few worlds because something tells me it just becomes more and more of a bullshit game until it's over.

I'll give it props for two things though. One is the music which holds up very well, and the other is how crazy the world and everything is when you stop and think about it. Burly monkey fights burly alligators who walk on their hind legs before jumping on a giant vultures head because the vulture has stolen his bananas. Riding on other animals is kind of cool too i suppose and looks completely ridiculous.

I'm like 55/45 rooting for the Astros over the Dodgers which just means that I'm not rooting hard enough that I don't want Kershaw to just destroy everyone when he pitches. Too bad he's not gonna be able to pitch against Verlander in game 1

I'm excited to just casually enjoy some more great baseball with two likeable teams. I'll be rooting for specific players to perform rather than a specific team

So you agree you too were faithless.

Anyway yaaaaaaaaaaaay

Lets goooooo. Fuck all you non-believers

You agreed with me when I said the Yankees were going to win because sports are stupid

Is that the fuck boat lake? How can any purification happen there after that

I'll have you know that all those hookers became nuns after riding the fuck boat.

Just finished an absolutely absurd (in its boringness) d&d session, glad to see some wholesome pokemon chat to get the bad rpg taste out of my mouth

There's a new Ramen place in stl called nudo. I ate there for the second time tonight. It owns

Thank you. I am pretty sick of final fight ninja turtles style beat em ups at this point in my life so I still dream about playing that game

Did you upload your report on Sunset Riders to the class drop box at least?

I use Cubbies pejoratively, or I used to when we were the dominant team. It's a fun way to condescend

Actually I'm gonna walk that back. Say whatever you want. What do I care as a guy who calls hid team the birdos sometimes

True baseball fans call them the 'Stros all the time. About on par with how often we say Cards instead of Cardinals. The only team nickname I don't accept are Twinkies for Twins and Pale Hose for White Sox. The former is just annoying to me and the latter is a try hard move

With how they run the team we all knew the Dodgers would eventually make the world series but it's still a little weird to see them break through finally.

They ran over the NL quite easily, here's hoping they can handle the Yankees too

Sunset Riders looks so fun to me but I've never seen a machine in person so please try it for me. Play Simpsons too but with the following warning: it is absolutely terrible.

Rockies posted...

Jeez, that announcer sounded way too excited to announce a Cubs win

It was extremely weird. Save that shit for when the Yankees are beating the Twins or whatever when we all expect it

Alright Dodgers there's no shame in losing a game but do not fuck this up because I will legitimately die if you do

The Cubs are also going to win. What a stinkin day you guys

This is actually funny to me.

Rockies posted...

Wait, what? So they reviewed for a ground rule double? I figured that kind of review would always be for the benefit of the pitching team, and since they got the out I'm confused

My posts were not related to each other, I was talking about two different plays

They did a replay to see if the ball was trapped in the ivy

Another great baseball moment in the ninth. Puig absolutely destroyed a ball off the wall in left center. They just said 107 MPH exit velocity and it hit the ivy on the fly. Then he got thrown out at second because he hit it too hard and because Javy Baez is too quick with the tag and then Baez wagged his finger in his face. It was a very exciting four seconds.

Edit: the finger wag was all in good fun btw they both laughed

Lol he trolled his way to a walk by crowding the plate

Letting Darvish bat with the bases loaded and two outs...elite brain mode

I like them too. They've gotten rid of most of their loathsome characters

When both series were 2-0 I thought we were in for a great world series I could casually enjoy. Now every pitch carries the weight of the world

The stupidest thing is that I legitimately only expect the Yankees to win the series because they are the Yankees. Not because I think that gives them an advantage but because sports are unbelievably stupid

No matter how cynical you behave as a sports fan shit like this is still so infuriating

Thank you to the daily snark for sending your prayers.

An atrocious sport.

Nope it's legal. Anyway the Astros finally got more than two runs!

Witcher 3 + all DLC is on sale for $20. If you've wanted to play this game now is the time

That's like 6 hours of game per dollar

There are probably just clickbait hot takes, but I've seen reports lately that both Bradford and Parise's careers could be over or very close to it

I saw that about Sam and I saw they cleared Teddy B. I know you don't appreciate the obvious comments about how often he gets hurt but since it's always his knee eventually it's just not gonna work anymore. He might already need a cane someday

It's free daycare

That's so wonderful. Living in a red state is such a blessing. We instituted our voter ID laws a couple months ago!
