ngl after playing the network test for dks remastered i forgot how fucking slow it is compared to bb and dks3

also despite it being a "remaster" this game has not aged as gracefully and is kind of ugly, but it seems to run fine on the switch so that's good

One of my friend’s mother’s recently passed away while fighting cancer. She was a wonderful woman, and even though she sepereted from her husband, he too went after being shot in the line of duty. He was a cop. Now, my friend has no parents, and one day I’ll have to say goodbye to mine too. Death is the one thing that I’ll have to accept, (not sucidal, it’s just a part of life), even if it can be random when, not if.

Finally have access to the QR stuff in New Leaf...

 

now I can.... well....

 

aside from patching up some patches of dirt, I don’t exactly have a plan beyond that...

Found a nice set of QR codes, at least... would’ve gone for another one if it had been complete...

 

Well, these should work for the time being

I’m really digging the Path/Grass paths I found - towns looking a lot nicer...

 

Though I’m going to need a few more Axes so I can cut down multiple trees and replace them with paths...

 

Well, it’s progress, at least...

 

Though I wish there was a button shortcut to that tab... kinda annoying - hopefully they add that in the next installment, would make things a bit quicker 

 

Also though I’m still early on, making small progress in Tomodachi Life... unlocked a decent amount of things so far

Hollow one. Started 5-1 then went 5-3.

 

Deck is super strong! Might play it for a little while longer still.

This was just posted in my local PoGo facebook group, though it was kind of funny

Playing Dragon Quest is reminding me how much I like games with monster-raising. I've had Monster Hunter Stories in my backlog for a while now. How does it fare against Pokemon and Dragon Quest Monsters?

This will never make me not chuckle

If only Necro were here to see Bowsette...

Need some opinions on the eyes for my mask. They both give off the same amount of light when lit up, just unsure on which version I want for the unlit finish:

I don’t remember the first one having that power to tame monsters...

As fun as all the Bowsette rule34 is, sometime next week MatPat is going to make a video marketed toward 12-year-olds explaining how reptiles don't have tits, and it will be entirely our fault.

Pokemon does and so did Dragon Quest Monsters.

Read the quote wrong. Well, as I am a fan of the usual mainstream games, Stories just doesn’t do it for me. Hunting monsters is a big deal, and to me, that comes of as... A Pokémon and How To Train Your Dragon Knock-Off.

It doesn't quite hit the highs of Pokémon but Monster Hunter Stories is a perfectly enjoyable monster raising game. Good length, decent amount of options if you want to get super technical with monster genes/skills, though one thing that always bothered me a bit was the fact that you don't control your monster's attacks directly in battle. Always felt like a weird simplification/adding an element of chance to the combat system.

I like the glossy ones but I feel like the matte ones would work better for giving the mask a wooden appearance.

Yeah that's basically where I'm stuck...
