Useless tidbit: Marge has bunny ears when she gets shocked in that dream level. This is because an idea Matt had was that Marge was going to be a rabbit, hiding the ears in her hair.

All I want is practicality and replaceable parts. Still waiting for a FairPhone like device to reach the US

The thing is it seemed like Sakurai wants to do other things, but has no choice but to work on smash 28/9.

Sakurai and Hayo Miyazaki drunk betting who will retire first

I think the only dumb reason I stopped playing after 25 hours was just not having a convenient storage chest as I tend to be a hoarder in games.

I even went as far as figuring out how to make a mod to improve the storage chest.

My thought was to see if I could edit the ship’s chest to show a bigger screen of items and have either tabs or separaters for the name type.

Anyways if I were to replay it knowing that I shouldn’t just try to pick up every crate and scrap I see I would likely get farther.

Ah never would have thought of that!

My family said it’s because I’m male and the cat is male, but I think it’s just because I fed the cat growing up (not their fault, wife and kid got busier so I took over handling pets for a while)

Oops meant to say the regular 30, sorry about that, thanks for the clearer explanation

That sounds like a fun job being the Game Pass negotiatior. That must be a rabbit hole no one will ever know about of all the weird wheelings and dealings and language used.

If you ever want to dig up a hot mess I recommend the deals with Hasbro/EA/Fantasy Flight Games.

One example is FFG could make any star wars product they wanted as long as it wasn’t classified as a board game or video game. So they made “miniatures”, “cards”, and “apps” but no board games or video games despite them obviously being so 😆

The other weird deal was vendors had to buy Star Wars products through third parties for some reason but not direct from the maker

The slogan since the antiquity

Oh, ha.

I do run a game store nowadays and it’s interesting to see diehard board games on message boards get confused why their favorite games sell so poorly compared to more mainstream titles. 😌

Isn’t Diablo 4 one of the top profitable games this year (if you include extra transactions), and are there deets on how much Overwatch 2 makes in a month?

Naturally gamers here don’t care, but I imagine much like Madden or Fifa the mainstream buys tons of Blizzard stuff.

When I did in home jobs decades ago there were quite a few people who played Warcraft and not even remotely familiar with other games let alone how to use their PCs

“when the time is right” the article says.

So when they predict sales would increase by more than 30% I presume, if Valve still takes 40%.

When I tried to get the Xbox Indie Games XNA kit it said you got a quarter for every dollar sold on the indie games store back on the 360

Has any info been leaked about how much money Xbox pays companies to have their titles on game pass?

I have trouble figuring out what keywords to search online.

In the past I recall Microsoft paid $10 million for a one year exclusive to GTA 4 DLC, and in that court case it was revealed Epic paid $1.3 million for the Batman games for the free week.

I can only imagine MS pays From Software Monthly, and I can also surmise MS knows how many digital downloads sell so they have leverage in negotiating a price with From Software.

Unless no one cares enough about thos to dig, or the info is public on their shareholder financial statements and I’m too dumb to find it.

The most pleasant surprise I had with my 8bitdo pro 2 is it works with my switch, PC and Steam deck with a flick of the dual. So in less than a few minutes I can switch from MK8 with 4 controllers, to Sonic All Star Racing on PC, then to Trine on the deck with the same 3 controllers.

Fun thing I read a long time ago: when Ubisoft made their version of Tetris. It had stuttering and frame rate issues. Yes. Tetris had performance issues. 😆

I read it was because the game would check your friends list in the background for things, but QA play tested on simple accounts that didn’t have a crapton of friends on them. They didn’t realize what would happen when the game freezes while checking every single friend all the time.

And what was worse it was supposedly in a more main method making it too difficult to patch.

Just wait until the bots get here, hoo boy.

Followed by ad companies making shower thoughts about their products.

Followed by Propaganda accounts having shower thoughts not about Tiannamen Square.

Oh yeah, after the last decade of nominees I forgot being president has 2 actual requirements 😂

Imagine how he must feel wanting to take over the world and a few words of text will forever deny him presidency. If I were him I would lobby a good chunk of my money to change that quietly.

If anythimg removing born in the US as a requirement would make Demolition Man more accurate

What are the odds of Elon running for a Republican office in 10 years?
