What's the point of the X location feature if it doesn't work on certain accounts? I wanted to see if there was foreign influence on the US government.

I don't know why it took forever to finally win a run in Balatro. I have played for 1 day 7 hours and 12 minutes according to the Xbox app.

Better off building your own "Steam Machine" and putting SteamOS on it at that price.

Nintendo should keep this version of Hyrule as a spin-off franchise and have many types of games in many genres.
Age of Imprisonment opened my eyes to the characters and stories in this land.
Focus on a few of them outside of Link and Zelda and give them their own games.

Samantha Mathis (from the 1993 Mario movie) should voice Daisy in the Super Mario Galaxy movie but Nintendo probably won't make that deep of a cut.

I've already seen people criticize Rosalina for being bad ass in the Super Mario Galaxy Movie which means we're in the part of the discourse where people prove they don't know about other depictions of characters. Just like in the last movie with Peach.

There was a lot I liked about the Super Mario Galaxy movie trailer, but I hope they don't play Bowser Jr. off as ultra-edgy and serious and we get to see the quirkier aspects of the character.

Is it weird that I think that a lot of these games should be Nintendo Selects and possibly $30 at this point?

I wanted Pokopia but it might be a game-key card. It says it is 10GB.
Funnily enough, it is a Pokémon game, a series constantly criticized, always defended.
Nintendo said they wouldn't use it on first-party titles but it seems they are publishing.
They possibly lied.

Am I overreacting? My neighbor keeps doing this shit but I am afraid complaining is going to make things harder for my family.

As someone who likes old gaming aesthetics, I'd be afraid to replicate PS2-era aesthetics because people would mistake it for trying to be modern.

The GOATs (my first commercial games) are in my play history on the new Nintendo Store app.
Nintendo keeps pretty accurate play information in regards to Switch and Switch 2.
They should replace it with this on the console.

If I ever release a popular game and people want my design docs they're going to be disappointed.
I make a checklist of things and go through and delete them when I am done. 😂
I might start with a design doc to formulate my thoughts but after that, I design based on vibes.

There are also a lot of scholars that doubt Paul even wrote 2 Thessalonians so if true, we can just toss hateful interpretations of that passage into the trash where they belong.

I still play the Brain Age games daily (Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training for Nintendo Switch currently). But only enough to get my daily participation in.
I wonder if I get similar benefits from programming and learning languages also.

If this actually happened, I'd probably quit buying Nintendo hardware and buy Nintendo games elsewhere since I value the IP more. So that's probably why it won't.
