    MOON on Nintendo Switch

    Must play for me. Also it's translated by Tim Rogers, so I have to support that!

    Why are we hating on Eisenberg exactly? Because he is good at portraying annoying people?

    Ad Astra (2019)

    Both have a fever dream kind of feel. It's not as extreme in Ad Astra as in Trier's movie, but there is a number of movies where it's cranked to 11. My Winnipeg, Hard to be a God, The Hourglass Sanatorium...

    It (2017)

    The problem is that the first film is about the innocent kids vs the corrupted adults and the entity that corrupt them (or feed on their corruption) and that ceases to work when you bring the characters back as adults. You get some children, but almost no other adults, so suddenly it becomes...

    Joker (2019)

    It's funny how some people are like "*sob* *sob* it's not the joker I know" when 87658765 authors wrote 87658765 versions of the Joker in comics.

    The Painted Bird (2019)

    People who published books in 1965 and were teenagers during WWII are likely to be dead in 2019. In the specific case of this author, he died almost 30 years ago.

    Your favorite moments in video games (Or "WOW" moments"

    The first thing that spring to mind is solving a clever puzzle in Snatcher. It's a japanese style text adventure game by Hideo Kojima which is a mix of Blade Runner, Terminator and Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The thing is I played it in japanese with very limited notion of the language and...

    Dune (2020)

    Going from memory here, but I think the theatrical cut of Lynch's Dune is with his name, but there is a shorter made for TV cut that is credited Alan Smithee? EDIT: wikipedia says this, so it MUST be true!

    Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)

    I know that Tarentino Mannix project is a joke, but it's very strange seeing that because no later than last week I mentioned Mannix to a friend and we were surprised it did not get turned into a movie given Hollywood's recycling tendencies.

    Are there enough Super Mario Maker 2 players around here to make it worth creating a topic to share cool levels / makers / stuff we made?

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    YouTube recommendation algorithm works sometimes. The number of views makes me feel a bit guilty I did not know about it sooner but heh.

    END OF SUMMER RETRO SEQUEL TWO PACK - What a horrable night to meet I am Error! (CV2 and Zelda2!)

    Played and beat Zelda 2 for the first time not long ago. I should have Simon's Quest somewhere and have not played it since... well... its release I guess :/

    OUTRIVAL: The Game I'm Making

    How do players eliminate opponents? Are we talking first person shooter type of actions? I never played PlanetSide, but you might want to check how it worked. It was a persistent game though, so I am not sure how the territory back and forth worked exactly. I am sure some people on the board...

    OUTRIVAL: The Game I'm Making

    How long is a game supposed to be and what do you have in mind for the capture of territory and push back of the opponents? Is it like, say, PlanetSide?

    What's your biggest loss in a game? (Data wipe, save corruption, impossible boss, etc)

    The Turbo Duo was one of the first CD Rom based console and it had an internal memory for the save files of CD games. It also played ROM based games (on a physical format called HuCards), one of which was Bomberman '94. As it was a 5 players game, I brought it to a gaming party at my PnP RPG...

    No Time to Die (007 Bond)

    @iannis I have not read much about the supposed plot of this new Bond movie, has it been said that the focus of story will be 007 and not Bond? I would think the focus will be on Bond, brought out of retirement and forming a reluctant duo with the new 007. Do you remember that time the chinese...

    No Time to Die (007 Bond)

    Rewritting Bond to cast a black woman in the part would have been dumb. Having another agent take the 007 code after Bond's retirement is pretty logical and if you want to do that, the two main options are 1) to have someone very similar to Bond or who tries to be very similar to him (the heir -...

    Tokyo, Japan

    I found that rather strange, because it's a pretty common french brasserie dish (under the name 'steak tartare' which implies an eastern europe origin). Apparently it is also a pretty common dish in Korea. I can vouch for the french version. Spice it up with some tabasco sauce, eat it with...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Too bad they did not change the form of the Switch Lite a bit. I tried playing some Mario Maker the other day in handheld mode and it was unbearable.

    Shenmue III

    The fan did not really brought it to fruition. The team had a producer willing to pay for the game if they managed to do a successful kickstarter for a fraction of the total budget. The kickstarter was really a tool to get pre-orders, to create visibility for the project and to prove to the...

    True Detective

    The thing is in Season 1 there is only one character that speaks like that, so it's weird but cool. In season 2, everyone speaks like that, so it's just weird and dumb. Season 3 completely drops that.

    What do you do with this?

    Wikipedia says transmission with an unprotected intercourse is 1/1000. Use of male contraceptives reduces the chances in half. Daily use of antiviral medicine further reduces transmission rate. The fun part is that there is something a lot more likely than you getting genital herpes by having...

    Judgment (Yakuza team) (PS4)

    Obviously curious and even optimistic about it, but I must say I can't help but roll my eyes at these (sadly pretty common) stories where a defense attorney has an identity crisis because they helped exonerate a criminal.

    So... I bought a Switch today ahead of Super Mario Maker 2 (and, down the line, that special edition of Dragon Quest XI). Any recommendation for Nintendo e-shop games that are not available in retail and are not on the PlayStation Store? EDIT: I am google-fu-ing and found Golf Story and Into...

    That look aggressively mediocre. But again, who has the know-how to do this type of games these days? SNK? Maybe?

    Indie Games

    I completed today Return of the Obra Dinn. It's a game made by Lucas Pope, famously known for Papers, Please (an absolutely brilliant game you must play if you have not). It was in a lot of Best of 2018 lists, so I am a little bit late to the party here. The idea of the game is that you must...

    It's not TV, it's HBO! Ranking every full-length series thus far.

    Considering the stupidity they write about "Dream On", I can save a lot of time by not reading anything they have to say about the rest of the list!

    When you are 8 points behind and get 287346 stops in the last 10 minutes and still can't catch up, losing is a pretty fair outcome.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Jerome Flynn has been in Ripper Street along his Game of Thrones gig. He had a singing career as well as some TV acting, so he was known in the UK before Game of Thrones. It's a bit different and probably more complicated for the actors that had close to no acting job before the show. Also, teen...
