Tangent here: Not sure if you’ve seen Owl House, [https://64.media.tumblr.com/81a4345c30c8c3e9a14c8b981f4a36de/470a73424ef059ec-5e/s1280x1920/fcccd5b89485fc0e51585d25388e1c216df08bb3.png](but they show a tamagotchi-like device in the second season ) where you can send little pictograph messages to your friends and WHAT I’D GIVE TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. It reminded me a bit of Pictochat on the DS. But I know any device that was made would be pretty expensive since it would need wireless even if it wasn’t internet-connected. So that means it’d have a high resolution screen to justify the price, which would make it more expensive, then thicker for bigger batteries. It just doesn’t seem realistic or even something I’d want in the end with all the upgrades.
I do really miss little devices with low resolution displays. A lot of charm goes away for me when you don’t have to use your imagination at all- same with furbies that speak in clear english. There’s SO much room for expanding on the ideas of furbies and tamagotchis that hasn’t been explored, but unfortunately, I’m not sure if that’ll ever actually exist until a group of nerds get together and makes it happen. Being able to fight and collect things and have actual permanence in the game without babying the digital pet constantly would be amazing!
Oh! I actually thought the Furby Connect was another mainline furby, but I honestly didn’t find it good looking, so I passed on it completely (I’ve been more of a tamagotchi person anyway). I think a lot of the “furbies are creepy” opinions are just rehashed fear from the lies that were spread about the first couple furbies. I wasn’t allowed to have one when I was a kid because the people on tv said it was creepy because they might have cameras and would record children.
If my parents knew I have a stripped gen 2 furby with a single eyelash on my shelf looking like a skeleton, they’d definitely think it was creepy haha
Didn’t the terrifying Furby Connects of like 2016 have the ability to connect to internet-connected apps and would send OTA updates to the furby on a weekly basis? I think the furby itself was receive-only and wouldn’t send anything, but I might be wrong. I still think it’s fair to say that furby was at least semi-connected to the internet.
Ive been wanting to buy one for a while to modify it so I can use telephoto lenses on it. The dithering on it is such a good look
I actually tried playing resident evil village last night. I’m not normally a horror game person and I found the lack of ability to save anywhere so I can bail pretty anxiety inducing haha. Not sure if I’ll finish it, but I’ll try my best.
I haven’t thought about guild wars 2 for years, but I remember buying it a long time ago because it was available on Mac, but it seems like that’s not the case anymore? And now it’s free to play now, I guess? It definitely feels like I wasted my money. Good game though lol
Also, the vibe of a social network named after petty and trivial quarrels seems to be not for me.
See, with undertale, the first thing I saw on it was “don’t look at anything undertale related AT ALL until you completely finish the game”. That made the experience way better for me. I likely would’ve given up if not for that since the community got a bit wild and that carrot-on-a-string of “something interesting is going to happen that people are trying to prevent spoilers for”
The pokemon fan games have been way more inventive than the mainline games for a while now. I just recently have been getting into pokemon infinite fusion and it’s FANTASTIC
I agree fully with ocarina of time. I had a N64 back in the day, but I never owned OOT because my parents said “it was too expensive”… so I never got that nostalgia factor after playing it years later.
I would say, in regards to really good zelda games, I absolutely loved Link between Worlds. It’s mostly the same map as link to the past, but the main gameplay gimmick of sticking yourself on a wall or moving through a crack was really fun for me. I really like feeling that “aha” moment when trying to figure out if an area is inaccessible or if I just need to think about how to get there a bit more, then finally realizing what I needed to do. Super satisfying. YMMV, of course, but it’s worth a shot.
I moved Apollo from the “social” app folder to a folder with a 👑 emoji on it since I like having it there even though I don’t intend to use it. Eventually it’ll get offloaded and then deleted a while later.
At least it being out of its normal spot means I can’t instinctually press it
Any game that has daily login bonuses or a bonus for playing every day. Animal crossing pocket or whatever it is. Pokémon go. A bunch of afk phone games. A bunch of gacha games. It just feels so shallow to me. Like, I’m not being manipulated to play something, I just end up feeling so guilty to lose a streak I’d rather delete the game.
I’m excited to watch smarter people than me play this game
I’m not a fan of either
You could say I’m sp-ace
(let’s ignore the existence of lower deck and strange new world for this joke)
