    Thoughts on My Time at Portia:

    - it does scratch that Stardew Valley itch; I don’t really feel the same compulsiveness to play it that I did Stardew, but I can’t quite put my finger on why.
    - although the initial load time is awful, and the menus are a little laggy, overall it’s nothing game-stopping. It’s certainly not a reason to not play the game.
    - although some of the initial quests feel difficult to fulfill because of the number of resources required, resources are really plentiful and regenerate every day. So far it feels easy enough and isn’t frustrating.
    - the scope of the map is nice, and the town is super lovely to look at and walk around.
    - movement is nice; it’s fairly easy to jump heights and get onto rooftops. It’s been fun climbing the buildings and finding the hidden treasure chests.
    - I like the mining, although I think some would find it boring. I appreciate that the beginning mines (or ruins, rather) don’t have any enemies in.
    - there are some intriguing characters.

    Overall it’s pretty decent and feels sufficiently large enough for the money.

    Also it really reminds me of Yonder in many ways, what with its styling and color palette.

    like, obviously it's good that Reno and Rude were arguably the best part of the movie because otherwise there's nothing to get excited about, character-wise, but also, why are these two chuckleheads the only characters who actually got significant fleshing-out in this movie that is ostensibly meant to serve that purpose for the actual main cast

    Did Square take any of that time to answer the really important questions, such as why they were called the Turks even though there wouldn't have been a Turkey in that universe?

    It's canon that the film Turk 182 exists in the Final Fantasy universe.

    Yeah Portia is neat. I do hope they smooth out a bit of the roughness (mainly loading times for me, but again, they're pretty front-loaded when you first load), but overall it's been pretty chill and enjoyable.

    I just got the next big thing to build and oh man, I've gotta upgrade my workshop and find all sorts of stuff for it. It's honestly kinda rad.

    I preordered it from EBGames and they called me yesterday and said they didn't get their shipment of Dragon's Dogma in, but they expect it Wednesday. I don't know if that's true everywhere but maybe?

    I thought Dragons Dogma was digital only. No stores seem to be carrying it here in NZ.

    It is so good to be back in Dragon's Dogma, I've missed this game a lot. Steamworld Quest is also out this week, so I'm going to be on the Switch quite a bit.

    Nintendo slammed for removing trans flag stage from Super Smash Bros. / A user's stage featuring the flag was taken down for being a 'political statement'

    https://www.gaystarnews.com/article/nintendo-super-smash-bros-ultimate-trans-flag/

    A good reminder that corporations aren’t friends

    So remember this?

    The customer service supervisor the person talked to that tried to resolve the issue was fired.

    there's an entire chapter of the game's main story that focuses on learning how to trick everyone into thinking you're a woman from a character who's a big ol' pile of transphobic tropes

    it's disgusting

    Also even if Sakurai and his team weren't themselves shitty, Smash is a first party title owned by Nintendo. You can't support the game without supporting corporate and Nintendo is maybe the most inextricable company from its products

    It's definitely a post-birthday present for myself (June 25). I never messed around much with the WiiU version, so kind of excited to see what I can make with this one.

    Curious if it will be able to access all the levels from the WiiU servers.

    I didn't make a lot of levels in the first Mario maker but i'll probably have to in this one and hide queer iconography in all of them.

    Sounds like some territories get an official MM stylus with both physical and digital preorders (the digital gets a code to redeem and have it mailed to you).

    Yeah I started playing this on PC this week and I've become like paralyzed at the idea of continuing the story because of what I've read about it. I don't want to miss out on a ton of stuff so I feel like I have to spend hours exploring everywhere before I can move on.

    I wanted to hang out with Casca Mercedes in Dragon's Dogma but I didn't really understand the relationship system and as a result (end spoilers)
    I had no idea who the person who the dragon brought to the last boss fight. It was like, "Shocking reveal! It's some random lady!" And then we ended up married or something? It's been a while, I don't remember how it went exactly.
