  • Long time fans of the 2d games really enjoy Wonder as the movement mechanics moved back to a faster feel from pre-New Super Mario Bros. My favorite will probably always be Super Mario World because the movement is the most responsive in that game and I also like to play ROM hacks for it and that community is wild.

    New Super Mario Bros ended up with a sluggish movement by comparison and dominated 2d Mario for decades.

    The big draw for many people in Mario is movement mechanics and that’s why Odyssey is so popular as well. The 3d platforming with Cappy just feels right. Like a missing extension that we never new we didn’t have.









  • I don’t think USA today or any other outlet should be protected. I do think the reporters that work there should be protected.

    Corporations should be held accountable for what they say or “strongly encourage” others to say. Individuals should be protected if they get things wrong, though.



  • Most resources have been diverted to the single player campaign for a while. (Squadron 42)

    They communicate what is being done for the persistent universe (Star Citizen) but it’s a slower trickle of features due to the resource allocation.

    Generally, they made some really great gameplay engagements over the years but features are being prioritized based on the S42 needs. They only update on S42 once a month, but the updates have been looking like they are nearing feature completion (community speculation, not announcement) just due to them moving more toward bug fix/QA type stuff in recent months.

    The next big information dump is scheduled for October at the convention that’s coming up.

    They’ve given up on giving dates because the community is very unforgiving if the dates are missed. And in software, dates are almost always missed.








  • BG3 does give the ability to send stuff from lootable locations directly to camp, which solves half the problem. If I could sell stuff directly from camp the other side would be solved.

    There is a valid argument of part of thee reasoning being determining what is really important to you prevents you from picking up literally everything and breaking the economy. But Starfields economy already seems pretty broken in my favor. I significantly upgraded my ship on both my first and second visits to New Atlantis. So I’m having a hard time feeling overwhelmed by the encumbrance.
