So every NPC will now spam Mega Zygarde in addition to Xerneas, Metagross and Garchomp?

For the next season of Pokémon Legends Z-A ranked battles I would like to see Xerneas, Metagross and Garchomp banned. 90% of people use this exact team and I’ve seen enough of those for one lifetime lol

Just finished Pokémon Legends Z-A! Don't worry I won't post any spoilers :) Fantastic game! Well worth the wait. It actually runs well on Switch 1, and it's clear a lot of care has been put into the game. Love the characters and love the story!

(Minor spoilers) WHAT WERE THEY THINKING in Pokémon Legends Z-A with side mission 94??? 10 freaking battles in a row with no healing inbetween. Oh the first trainer conveniently uses Toxic on everything and everyone :) You know, they obviously can't risk my party members surviving past battle 5.

RIP American freedom of speech. Talk show hosts getting suspended for saying something that the emperor doesn't like sounds like some North Korean shenanigans.

FIRE EMBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEM!!!!! #NintendoDirect
Looks like it's set in the Three Houses universe as well.

Already paid DLC for Pokémon Legends Z-A? A bit early aren't we? #NintendoDirect

That Pokémon Happy Harvest game looks super chill. Plus it has Bulbasaur! #NintendoDirect

That Virtual Boy Nintendo Switch thing is the most cursed thing I've ever seen lol. #NintendoDirect

Alright why is Galaxy 2 not just available as DLC for 3D All Stars? #NintendoDirect

8 years ago today I did my first stream: a DKC3 Any% run (splits added for fun). Ihad originally planned to start my 3Any% grind today, but I am not ready yet. Therefore I will announce that this Saturday, 16 August, I will start my 3Any% (forever) grind for 45. I hope to see you there :)

Learned the TAS Squirt strat, and it may be the hardest thing I've ever learned in DKC3. This IL still has decent room for improvement, but I wanted to share it anyway since it's my first time getting all 3 hits reasonably quickly in an IL. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nb48...

I finished Rayman 2 yesterday for the first time in years. That game is so nostalgic to me. I first played it probably 25 years ago. It was the first Windows game I ever played.

If you're a fan of 3D platformers I cannot recommend Rayman 2 enough. Great levels and also fantastic music.

Finished Rayman 1 yesterday for the first time. I had played it previously, but never finished.

Fantastic game and a big recommend for anyone who enjoys hard 2D platformers with great music.

My only gripe is that the life farming was extremely tedious, in a game with limited continues.

While playing Rayman 1 today I came across possibly the most frustrating game design I've ever seen. In one level there was a slippery slope and a bouncy pad right afterwards, leading up to a maze of spikes through which you had to jump. Turns out the key was: (1/2)

It's here! SpeedDogs and Assorted Pets is the "Pet themed" speedrun marathon showcase. By popular demand, we will have three days featuring cuddly, furry, fuzzy and feathery fast paced action! What kinds of runs are allowed? Anything goes really, as long as you can put an animal-esque slant to it!

So we can all agree that now we have the mouse feature for the JoyCons for the Nintendo Switch 2 for docked and touch screen for handheld, that now is the time to bring back Pokémon Ranger, right?

So perhaps I'm not understanding, but I can't rhyme "you gotta give up all your lost territory, we get your natural resources and Europe will have to send peacekeeping troops" with "you should be thankful". This reeks a lot of two big powers plundering a smaller country, i.e. neocolonialism.

Screw Twitch and their “2 months or we’ll delete highlights”. I can understand the limit, but not the short notice that’ll inevitably screw over bigger streamers.

Also the limit shouldn’t have been in hours. 100 hours of my 576p highlights don’t take up as much storage as 100 hours of 1080 footage.

So Trump wants no US troops on the ground in Ukraine and wants to hand Putin all the territory he invaded. Yeah that ought to deter Putin from another invasion…Neville Chamberlain 2.0
