They should have announced this in a Nintendo Direct as the “one more thing”.

When Rotom Dex was a thing I always wanted to use it as a Pokémon. It is so cute lol Supposedly it would be a pure Electric type

Why I desperately want Fresh Squiffer to get Ink Vac

I'm gonna allow myself to be excited for Winds & Waves. My reactions towards the game have been lukewarm so far but I think that's because I've conditioned myself to be skeptical about Pokémon

Nothing groundbreaking but the JP version of the Winds & Waves logo has something on it that might be a new gimmick or a story element, like how Gen 9 had a Tera Crystal or Gen 8 had the Galar League logo implemented

ngl y'all that new Pokémon game does kinda look good njhgfcrtdyt

we kinda knew didn't we...

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. GO DONATE. tcpipeline.org

Calculated

a tweet from Oliy implied there was a Squeezer + Zipcaster level on story mode and omg I get to try out that combination!!

It would be so funny (but bad!) if FRLG rereleases only lets you deposit Pokémon to Home. Imagine all of the people preordering both games with the assumption that you would be able to finish the dex by yourself via Home

I played the random weapon challenge in Splatoon a couple of days ago, and when getting a scope-less variant of the Z+F Charger, I couldn't hit my shots because I was so used to the extra range from scopes uiyftduiu

All I need is to be a cute girl who makes art and turns sad people into glad people

Auntie has had some drinkies 😍

Do you think there were any Lamorn "shiny hunters" that kept making children until they were born with psychic crystals

Metroid Fusion 🥺

Lowkey wouldn't mind if the Shinespark got mapped to the counter input. Doing so would make it easier to spark out of a spinjump, and it would also incentivice using other combat options if you want to save the Shinespark for something else

The Chozo word for planet is "uliris". When they mention ZDR by name they say, "ili Tarin nalima". We don't know what "nalima" actually means, but a suggestion I absolutely adore is that it's the Chozo word for "nest".

Shit, the number one thing that would help you develop your artistic skills is UBI

Still thinking about those Bomb Blocks and how Beam Blocks could serve the same functionality while letting you Ballspark through them (still a cool segment tho)

"Piece of cake. Red velvet cake."

They should add a Gear Ability that make you explode and do like 15 damage once you're splatted

Metroid Dread is very cool 🥰

Prime 4 was quite disappointing to me but one wonderful thing it did was fully convince me that """bad""" artworks can be deeply inspiring

Short range shooters are definitely overtuned imo, but I guess I'd rather have that than the opposite because Splatoon has gotten really sweaty and having a simple yet consistent class helps

ICE BREAKER STARTS TOMORROW AT 11AM ET! Follow ReallyReallyLongAThon so you don't miss it: twitch.tv/reallyreallylongathon And check out the full schedule: oengus.io/marathon/ice...

The Aura Flow State doesn't seem to be guaranteed to happen after getting like three kills, which is very good. I barely get it as a bow (at least in Turf), but I haven't tested it enough! Mostly excited for hitbox changes, perhaps half charges are easier to hit 🥺

idk how the state of backlines will be with the combination of Flow Aura and the hitbox changes. I think Chargers are even more in favour vs. Splatlings and Stringers now since they stand a lot. I do fear that shooters have gotten a global buff, the class that is masters of all trades except range

#Metroid Fusion and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes are among the games being played at a speedrun event called ICE Breaker, which will run from Jan. 30-Feb. 1. It will support residents of Minnesota as they contend with ICE's presence. shinesparkers.net/charity-spee...

THE ICE BREAKER SCHEDULE IS OUT oengus.io/marathon/ice... Join us on Friday, Jan. 30th starting at 11:00am ET for a weekend full of the best speedruns we could find in support of Minnesota against ICE!

NO FUCKING WAY

New feature! Earlier this month, an interview was published with Kensuke Tanabe in Nintendo Dream, discussing #MetroidPrime4Beyond. Another huge thank you to @dartsenthusiast.bsky.social for the translation! Check it out below: shinesparkers.net/feature-metr...

the Nintendo Dream article containing Tanabe's retirement (of Metroid at least) confirmed one detail regarding Sylux that I was wondering about. He was indeed in that one area the whole time.

When the lyric you misheard felt really profound and touching but it's super wrong and not like what the artist wrote at all 💀

We are aware of the new interview with Kensuke Tanabe in Nintendo Dream about #MetroidPrime4Beyond. Our own translation of the full interview is currently in progress, and we will share it with you as soon as possible.

some bits of wisdom from tunglr

Me when I'm at a sushi restaurant and my orders taking too long.

Hotel wifi doesn't let me connect my Switch to the internet, which kinda sucks but ig my connection wouldn't be good enough for Sploon 3 anyways :/

Makes me feel insane to live in a world that's persecuting trans folk while simultaneously doing big billboards advertising gender affirming care to cis people???

I don't think there is a more satisfying Angle Shooter weapon than Tri-Stringer, so I wouldn't be super sad if that was the last one. That being said, I absolutely wouldn't mind seeing Decavitator and Explosher with Angle hehe

The agoraphobia debuff I got 9 years ago is getting annoying 😤 😤

Announcing ICE Breaker: A charity speedrun event by myself & @rrlat.bsky.social on Jan 30 - Feb 1 to support Minnesotans in defending from ICE. Submit runs: oengus.io/marathon/ice... Volunteer: forms.gle/51HEcBmhUC8X... Run submissions close Sunday. Volunteer apps have a soft deadline of Saturday

And for those wondering, here’s the screenshot of GoFundMe’s Terms of Service which confirms that this fundraiser violates it.

There’s a GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross’s legal expenses for murdering Renee Good. This violates GoFundMe’s Terms of Service. Everyone must report it. A thread on how to do that 🧵
