The problem with the internet is that when someone asks a question, the response from most people is a non-answer or an opinion on the topic. E.g., “I burned my hand on a stove, what should I do?” “Who burns their hand on a stove?”, “water”, “idk”, “who cares”, “idiot”, “uhh be careful?”, “67”

Every platform that is popularized by the public turns to crap because most people are genuine idiots and they come in hordes. I remember when Reddit used to be a place for thoughtful conversation and discussion. It was almost academic in some ways. It’s not their fault, but I hate it.

Paid games have more legal restrictions on in-game currencies, whereas “free-to-play” games are almost unrestricted. These free-to-play games also hide behind a corporate marketing agenda that players can’t complain because “it’s free!” - please don’t believe them, they just want your money

Game is so bad, cheap UI, barebones, essentially mobile slop. It’s a shame but I’m not surprised.

weekend vibes

Free games are more expensive than paid titles in recent years. “Oh it’s FREE - you can’t complain.” correction: it’s free for you to be at a disadvantage. I’m boggled people don’t understand money is equal to time. Companies gaslight their sheep customers into agreeing with them, and it works.

Pokemon Champions feel like a cash grab, and will incentivize genning. Why are the rental periods so short, and why is there a currency to keep them permanent and/or change stats? What’s the point of a battle pass? It’s corporate garbage. Not touching this game. Naive fans will say it’s great. 🤦‍♂️

my character looks so cool #monsterhunterstories3 #mhs3

my trainer ID is a palindrome

Shiny Hunting Bulbasaur on Twitch, live now www.twitch.tv/cloystr

I spent all day trying to get my Elgato HD 60S+ to work w/ my Switch 2. I get the image, but it scales my monitor down to 720p. Any resolution settings I make get reverted once docked. I think I have a faulty HDMI cable or my capture card is messed up. Tried everything. EDID, different ports, etc. 😔

I’ll be streaming my shiny starter hunt in FRLG this week (starting Tuesday or Wednesday). It’s between Bulbasaur or Charmander. Looking forward to it.

I love shinies that share the same color change across their evolution line. I don’t know the artist but their giga talented. Feel free to comment if you know.

his hands look like an allergic reaction

Phantom Hourglass felt like a massive game when I first played it. I don’t understand how people rate it poorly. One of my favorites.

#browt it’s not great but at least it’s not ai

if cloyster is not in this game i swear

Might dream team shiny hunt Leaf Green on stream, one switch. Slow but that’s how we did it as kids.

NSO is so trash, the fact we’re getting standalone versions of FR/LG is wonderful. FYI, you have to buy annual subscriptions (no monthly) to NSO expansion pack, and would lose access to the games if/when servers shut down or you stop paying. NSO is not your friend.

I will 100% be buying both FR and LG on Switch. Amazing news!

There’s no chance we’re getting DS ports on Switch regardless of the fake leakers spamming it. We have BDSP, and B/W are due for a remake next. If this happens, I’ll delete my account. Gen 1-3 are possible though.

All I want from Pokemon Day is a new Mystery Dungeon (or DX), or Rumble game. It probably won’t happen but I can hope. If it’s just mobile slop, Kanto Park, a Unite S2 update, and a Gen 10 announcement, I will be sad. Any standalone ports for Gen 1-3 would be amazing. Pokken 2 would be god tier.

I said what I said!

I’m relieved Ashes of Creation isn’t happening. It was a Kickstarter idea that blew out of control. It wasn’t a realistic project backed by an actual company or concrete vision. Lawsuits incoming I hope for anyone that invested money.

Let’s Play youtube channels will always be my favorite type of content. If you enjoy their journey and follow it all the way through, it can sometimes be more fun than playing the game yourself.

AC Mirage is actually so fun

Picked up Assassin’s Creed Unity, Origins, and Odyssey for just under $20. Steam is great. 😌

Live on Twitch with some TFT ranked. www.twitch.tv/cloystr

been needing a solid jrpg, and this one feels right at home already #OctopathTraveler0

All content creation these days is manipulation and lies. Click bait everything, always play innocent, ignore negative press. Nothing is actually authentic. Every strategy to make it big involves tricking people and looking the other way.

seeing this ad every week made me uninstall 🤢 #pokemon

I stole this meme but it’s so true

Hades 2 is my Game of the Year, 10/10

Why does everyone tag the FBI on Twitter as if it’s going to do anything. Do people not realize you need to make a formal report, often with local law enforcement first. In a serious case, it’s moved to state police, and very extreme cases, the FBI. People are so stupid it’s mind-blowing.

Silksong is a masterpiece

I love this!

Hollow Knight: Silksong releases on September 4th. Incredible. youtu.be/6XGeJwsUP9c?...

Kirby Air Riders looks great

I still think about my Pokemon Emerald team every now and then

I’m going to Worlds!

drew a ton of one piece characters tonight

which one?
