I used reddit for two things: news, and niche subcommunities around small hobbies and fandoms.
We've got the former here, but I don’t know if we'd ever have enough of a critical mass to sustain the latter. And that sucks for me, because I no longer have a good space for that stuff, but I still don't ever want to go back to reddit now.
Yeah, I stopped buying from the VC when the Wii U asked me to pay to "upgrade" my games.
This is an excellent article that covers how and why the VC died.
People say they want it back, but most titles never sold all that well back then.
Strongly recommend playing Earthbound before Mother 3. Mother 1 is entirely skippable, I've tried to play it multiple times and never could get through it.
Percentage-based damage doesn't make you struggle more with more health, it just means a few attacks take the same number of hits to kill. You're never any worse for it, and you're still better against every other attack in the game.
Also, I said evasion anyway, not health.
You lost me at the first panel.
I'm not seeing a link. Missingno.'s sprite is just the graphics decompression routine attempting to parse data from elsewhere in the ROM due to a wrong pointer, this obviously can't be concept art for that sprite. The idea that they might've considered making it canon in later generations is far too unlikely as well, we know they hated that this glitch got found and never ever ever would've wanted to acknowledge it.
The article's conjecture is just "it's blocky and it has writing on it, and if you squint really hard, you could pretend writing is like glitchy pixels." Too much of a stretch.
I've been holding onto a pet conspiracy theory that BW2 was a last-minute change from Gray, loose ends and plot holes felt too rushed. Curious if the leaked source code will corroborate this.
I have heard a lot of good things. I'll probably start on it whenever I finally finish Persona 4 Golden.
