- Comment on What are some good PSP games? 3 months ago:
I’ve got to recommend Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. One of the most legendary games in the series for its sheer amount of content. It might feel a bit dated if you’ve played World or Rise, but still good
- Comment on Young Sheldon Spinoff Centered on Georgie and Mandy in Development at CBS 5 months ago:
Gotta be Happy Days or something, right? That show had so many spin-offs, including Laverne and Shirley, which itself got spun off into an animated show. But I don’t know if there’s ever been a spin-off that got a spin-off and then that second spin-off also got a spin-off
- Comment on What's with the 'Thanks' people? 5 months ago:
I think I know what you mean, OP, but it seems like most of the comments think you are just complaining about people saying “thanks” at the end of an email, or in general.
So forget email for now. This is an in person thing or instant message. Ending an email, even a short one, with “thanks” is fine and normal. But if you message me “please update that ticket. Thanks.” It has a more aggressive tone than you might have meant. It feels like you aren’t asking and so the “thanks” comes off as fake or even sarcastic. Maybe also a bit dismissive or distracted. Like this isn’t a conversation or even a request. I’m telling you what to do and walking away. It’s a bit terse. If you say “please update that ticket” and I say “sure thing” and then you say “thanks”, the tone is much different. That doesn’t sound bad at all.
Again, email is different. Emails are meant to be send and forget. The thanks at the end can even be read as a “thanks for reading”. I think OP is talking about something different, and I agree it feels bad when someone talks to me that way.
As for your actual question, OP, I can’t say I know why they said it that way, but I’d guess they mean no offense, like most people are saying. It could be a second language thing or they really are too distracted or busy to wait for your reply. They don’t want to get into it, they just want to check off that someone is taking care of that one thing
- Comment on Game genres where "It's just more X content" is more than enough 5 months ago:
Monster Hunter is a great example of a series with quality sequels. They always add some new, interesting mechanics, trim the fat from the previous iteration, and add new content. There have been some exceptions, but generally every MH game before they split the dev teams had been an improvement on the last. Even when they cut the swimming from 3U to 4. It was a system that most players didn’t enjoy, and 4 had so many great new additions like mounting that it hardly felt like anything was missing.
That said, one of the main criticisms you’ll hear from players is the “ultimate” edition being the same game with just some new hints tacked on. Nowadays they do expansions instead, which I think players generally find more palatable
- Comment on Reddit users think that the Lemmy interface sucks. 6 months ago:
I’m pretty sure an instance can have custom UI and there are mobile apps that look different too. But I remember being a Digg user 15 or so years ago and the main reason I didn’t switch to Reddit was that I hated the UI. Eventually I did switch as Digg started to die, but the UI really grew on me and I would much rather use that old Reddit UI than the new one.
My point is, I think they don’t like it because they’re just not used to it
- Comment on What are some alternative to soulless videogame franchises? 7 months ago:
You could check out Freedom Planet. It didn’t quite do it for me, but it has a decent fanbase
- Comment on Nintendo Community Tournament Guidelines 8 months ago:
Notice that Q14 still allows for tournaments but only if they acquire a license first. This is something a Nintendo has been pushing since at least last year. That’s the debacle that killed Smash World Tour and the hill that Panda Global died on.
Not saying I agree with it. In fact, it’s so stupid, but there is still a path forward for now if Nintendo continues to give out those licenses. The real question is, what absurd rules will TOs need to adhere to in order to get a license?
- Comment on Super Mario Bros. Wonder - Review Thread - (92/100 OpenCritic) 8 months ago:
I’ve been pretty psyched for this as someone who consumes a lot of 2D Mario content including Mario Maker and SMW ROM hacks. Glad to see basically everyone saying it feels solid
However, this quote from Digital Spy,
Instead, Wonder’s strongest moments are when it takes a breather, taking the time to set the scene while letting the platforming do the talking.
Is something I was kinda worried about as well. The wonder effects that were shown seem cool, but I really want the platforming to take the lead role. SMW ROM hacks show us that pure platforming can still be creative as hell. I wonder how SMBW will stack up to the likes of, say, GPW3

- Comment on Sea of Stars | Launch Trailer 10 months ago:
First I’ve heard of this but it looks like it definitely has some Chrono Trigger DNA and Yasunori effing Mitsuda involved in the music department! I will absolutely have to check this out
- Comment on Already planning for how to survive in jail 10 months ago:
One time I got trapped in a store because the door was behind the counter where the register was and a guy was sitting there the whole time. I decided not to buy anything, but I looked around for a while so I felt like he might question me. So I just kept pretending to look around which made it even more awkward to leave empty handed.
I think I decided not to buy anything after 20 minutes but spent a whole hour in there trying to figure out how to leave

- Comment on What's your favourite Lemmy community so far? 10 months ago:
True. It also won’t help against malicious spam bots, but it helped me get rid of all the repost/rehost bits I was seeing when I first joined
- Comment on What's your favourite Lemmy community so far? 10 months ago:
I think there is a setting on your account to hide bot posts. I was initially blocking all the bots until I found that setting and now I don’t see them at all
- Comment on Looking for a free easy, competitive and online game to play on free time (steam not an option) 10 months ago:
Yeah it gives you 6 random Pokémon but the moves and abilities are pulled from a small list of potential “competitive” move sets for that Pokémon. Then the levels of Pokémon are adjusted so that stronger Pokémon are a slightly lower level to balance things out.
It’s very fun to sit down and be in a battle wishing 10 seconds, but it can take a little bit of practice to get used to quickly reviewing your available moves for your whole team.
You can even play without even making an account and then you can create the account later if you want to save your progress

That’s awesome! Great to hear
- Comment on Looking for a free easy, competitive and online game to play on free time (steam not an option) 10 months ago:
Super Auto Pets is simple and can be played for free in a browser. It’s a team building game that puts you against other players’ teams, so it’s competitive in that regard.
If you like Pokémon and consider that simple enough, Pokemon Showdown is a free online battle simulator for competitive battles against other players. You can even do “random battles” that just instantly throw you into a match without requiring you to make your own team

Great to hear! I’ll be sure to give it a try at some point, then
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 Review Thread 10 months ago:
I heard BG3 didn’t have controller support for UI menus and stuff. If it does, then I agree, it would probably play just fine
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 Review Thread 10 months ago:
I’m really interested in playing this on the Deck. I know they said that it would run on Deck performance-wise, but I just don’t see how the controls won’t be awful and the text way too small.
Hoping for an official controller support patch and maybe some UI/text scaling options.
I have no problem playing on Desktop, but this is a game I would love to bring over to a friend’s place and play in handheld or on the TV, but right now, I have my doubts that it’s not cumbersome as hell. I can try the trackpad and R2 mouse style, but I dont have high hopes
