Huh? Most of the time the DLC is discounted with the game. I guess not always, but I've rarely seen it happen where the DLC is still full price. I'm disappointed that the sale metagames have been getting less and less interesting. Bleh. I loved the first few, with the specific cheesemint goals. I didn't exactly like that you HAD to get all of the games and cheesemints to get the best prizes, but I liked the idea a lot. This one is just "buy more games bro THXXXX".

pfff who plays demos

Jesus Christ, Nintendo. What the fuck.

Maaaan, to be honest, this game looked pretty boring to me for a long time. Not because I hate this kind of game, because the concept is right up my alley... More because it just looks kind of like the core mechanics aren't very interesting? But the way everyone keeps talking about it makes me want to just play it. UGH. U:

Hurray!

Actually I have a semi-real one that I started in my younger years. Cheesemints! I started calling achievements "cheesemints" years ago and sometimes I see people use the word who I've never directly (or even indirectly) interacted with and it pleases me. It's so dumb. But it pleases me. I like to think I'm responsible for the few people that do say it.

Lazy Dorena okay i was just being dumb but i'm not gonna lie this is amusing me for reasons i can't quite explain

The last podcast I listened to when one of the main hosts died made me cry as I laid in bed. It actually sort of ruined my week at GDC (which is when I learned about the host's death). Ugh, but it was such a great celebration of the guy's life, too. I'm glad to hear the Bombcast is similarly celebratory.

Awesome!

I've been waiting so long for this dumb game to come back to PC. The other one I've been waiting for is N+, which is soon coming as N++. EXCITE.

Yeah Nintendo is really stupid about streaming / Let's Plays / whatever. They refuse to let anyone have the money. I'm glad the flip-flopped on this decision.

Oooh my coworker has 468 bells per turnip today. It ain't the highest I've seen but... Gonna be RIIIIIICH. 2 bells under five times as much as I paid.

IT'S HAPPENIN' I'm ignoring your rescind...ence? Droplitz is really good in my opinion, although a bit crippled by RNG. Broken Sword sucks. The second game in the series is so much better. Although they all have horrific voice acting. Zen Bound 2 seems like something I should like but it's so slow and fickle that it can be really frustrating. Trauma is... artsy fartsy. http://www.monopodcast.com/2012/06/06/traumatized-by-mediocrity/'>I attempt-wrote a thing about it once.

Dirk Gently is actually my favorite Adams book! I haven't listened to this episode, as I'm still fifty behind on the book club. (I'm finally getting around to reading Telegraph Avenue; don't judge me; I like it so far; I didn't before; that's why I stopped.)

I will also contribute and it will be the worst art in the thread.

Haha it was calculus for me, too. GODDAMN.

OKAY Lead & Gold is actually really fantastic, in my opinion. Unfortuantely, it's a multiplayer only indie game so nobody fucking plays it. ): Also I think I'm going to open this offer up to all my coworkers soon, so claim whatever you want before that happens! Or don't! Whatever.

I had a straight up fucking nightmare, like literally awoke in a panic on Saturday. It was one of Those dreams. BACK IN SCHOOL. FORGOT TO STUDY. FAILED A TEST. HAVEN'T DONE THE ASSIGNMENTS. GOTTA BEG THE TEACHER FOR SOME EXTRA CREDIT. Weird part is it was my high school teacher, but it was a college class. And I'm not exaggerating about the panic. I actually said to myself after a few minutes, "What the fuck, calm down, Jon. You're not in school anymore. CALM DOWN." God. It was awful.

I spent 1.3m bells on turnips this week, at 94 per. Y'ALL BETTER LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU GET A GOOD PRICE, YO.

Yeah, I suspect, though, that's it's more of a bug than an intentional design decision? Or, not "bug", but unintentional consequence. Whatever. Although, yes, I should have specified that it's only different aspect ratios that affect your field of view, and not just straight up increasing the resolution. So it's MOSTLY true that it's an even-playing-field thing. I was mostly just being a nitpicky buttface.

Heh, it's definitely true that that is a thing in competitive games, but the argument is sort of undermined by different resolutions in Dota revealing more of the world. At least, I'm pretty sure!

Most importantly, tripping is GONE. I didn't get nearly as into Brawl as I did Melee, but that's almost entirely because I was no longer in high school and my college friends didn't play Smash Bros. I started playing again recently with some coworkers and GODDAMN Brawl is a fun game. I think I still prefer Melee, but I also vastly prefer Melee to the original, and I like the original well enough.

Moving your camera definitely isn't enough. Not even dealing damage is. The requirement is that you get XP within five minutes of the last time you got XP. Unless they changed it, which is always possible (and they should, if they didn't, although I don't know what a better solution is for detecting an asshole who gives up and sits in the fountain). I've seen someone get an abandon while being camped in the fountain, and they were definitely moving around, trying to avoid dying.

Yeah. There's also a foil version of that. Last I checked, it was going for $44 on the marketplace. I laughed.

I feel like if I say much it won't really count 'cause I was never went big into Giantbomb, but he was always so... energetic that I sometimes wish I had. He was a fun guy!
