    Look it's very simple, look online. NO ONE is up in arms about the Anthem microtransactions, because they're completely fine. That tells you all you need to know.

    That's precisely the kind of attitude that let's developers get away with them in the first place.

    So the 7 MPs resigned from Labour this morning to set up The Independent Group cited “institutional racism” as one of the main reasons.

    4hrs later Angela Smith, refers to the BAME community as black or a “funny” tinge.
    Another hour and a half later she’s forced to apologise for her racist remarks.

    This follows Chuka Umuna having referred to the working class as “trash” and Gavin Shuker having reportedly opposed gay marriage.

    Which Party has the problem with bigoted views?! 🤔

    I imagine it's a case of some of those MP's wanting to get well away from Labour in the midst of the anti-Semitism debacle because they fear that they'll get found out themselves for racism.

    In other words, they're abandoning ship so that they save themselves.

    Any chance it's F-Zero? I'm desperate for a tough as nails driving game. GX was a bloody masterpiece, but how long ago is that now? 15 years? 

    Or Mother 4? A man can dream.

    The exact phrase was a "game that's thought to be dead" which gives the impression that it's a game that's believed to be cancelled.

    If he said series, you'd have a point, but I haven't heard of any F-Zero game that got cancelled.

    It was a semi-joke. I actually don't like Star Fox Adventures, and to this day I'm curious what the original game would have been.

    My guess would be probably quite similar, minus the obvious StarFox stuff.

    The actual main gameplay has pretty much nothing to do with the StarFox universe. Remove the Arwing sections and change the final boss and you'd still have a full game there.


  5. OK, so this needs to be shared.

    Shawn Layden had an interview with Gameinformer recently and it contained this little gem.

    We got to that place in Fortnite and it seems to be going reasonably well, from what I can tell. The Rocket League light up will happen soon. People keep saying, “Why doesn’t Sony allow more people to have it?” We’re open for business on this one. All it takes is for publishers and developers who wish to permission it. As ever, just work with your PlayStation account manager, and they will walk you through the steps that we’ve learned through our partnership with Epic on how this works. I don’t believe right now there is any gating factor on that. I think they’re open to make proposals, because the Fortnite thing worked pretty well.

    Well, in response to this, the CEO of Chucklefish (Wargroove, Stardust Valley) posted this on ResetEra.

    Hi all,

    CEO Of Chucklefish here, we just launched Wargroove with crossplay between PC, Switch and Xbox so I wanted to chime in.

    We made many requests for crossplay (both through our account manager and directly with higher ups) all the way up until release month. We were told in no uncertain terms that it was not going to happen.

    From our side, we can *literally* toggle a switch and have it working. Of course policy work might be more complicated for Sony.

    Just wanted to provide some balance on the issue and say that it certainly isn't a question of developers having not contacted their account managers or having dropped the ball. We were told no.

    It's starting to get ridiculous how much Sony will try to spin their refusal to allow cross-play in a way that makes them not look anti-consumer.


  6. Carrying on with my "Am I good enough to beat 9.9 with this character?" journey and I got my 7th and 8th victory.

    Young Link doesn't surprise me. I'm pretty good with him, but Mr. G&W was a pleasant surprise. Got to 9.9 before the hands, which is definitely reassuring.

    I had some horrific luck with the Chrom and Roy run though. Chrom saw me using 2 continues, one where the CPU controlled Robin partner got me hit by a giant Daisy Up Smash and then again on the hands when I got slightly pushed off stage by the Dog Shadow attack.

    Most characters would have recovered from that, but not Chrom... @Dcubed can attest to that particular flop.

    Roy on the other hand was going brilliantly, I had it in the bag! But in an attempt to avoid an attack from Crazy Hand, I ran toward the edge of the stage with the idea of dodging towards the edge so I was facing Crazy Hand and ready to counterattack.

    Unfortunately, I misjudged it and accidently ran off the edge and pressed R and left as soon as I was in the air. The ending lag was so severe, I could never get back on with Roy's mediocre Up B.

    I hate the air dodge mechanics in this game...

    Hmm smiley or reaction though?

    Can the reactions be animated?

    Because without the animation, Sarky Clap feels a tad pointless. Even if the sentiment is better suited to a reaction.

  9. OK, the theme night is ready.

    Next League Night: 21st Feburary 8pm

    MsAWx4z.png

    Room 1: @BowserBasher is host

    @Glen-i (Team Leader)

    @BowserBasher (Team Leader)

    @RedShell

    @viceview51

    @martinist

    @S.C.G (Selected Team)

    Seeing as it's the first Team Night of the year, quick reminder of the stuff you need to know.

    • Everyone who's playing next week, you'll need to send me a Private Message telling me what team you want to be in.
    • You must keep what team you chose secret. You'll be penalised if you tell anyone.
    • If one team has way more members than the other, then the team leader with less members will be able to choose who gets moved over to balance the numbers.
    • Points are still mainly determined by your placing, so coming first is still the best course of action.
    • The team that wins each GP will get an extra 10 points each.
    • The Champion's Bonus does not apply.

    I'll reveal the teams on Thursday.

    Sign Up Now!

    What do people think? Is it clear enough at that size?

    Great stuff though @RedShell!

    For what it's worth, I can make it out.

    But my eyesight is good enough that I can tell you what number a bus is from the next stop down. So don't go on just my crazy vision.

    But I'll tell you this, I would actually use that smiley. Sarcastic clap is the best thing about NES Online.

  11. Yeah, I had a feeling there'd be more modes. The stats screen has Tabs for "Tetris 99" and "All" Which is just odd for a game with one mode.

    I'm glad there's a Marathon Mode somewhere. Tetris 99 is great, but sometimes I just want to play some traditional Tetris.

    Next week will be the first Team Night. I haven't got the tracks ready yet, but I'll show you what Teams there are for you to choose from.

    So let me give you the rundown of how this will work.

    • Everyone who's playing next week, you'll need to send me a Private Message telling me what team you want to be in.
    • You must keep what team you chose secret. You'll be penalised if you tell anyone.
    • If one team has way more members than the other, then the team leader with less members will be able to choose who gets moved over to balance the numbers.

    If you have any questions, just ask me.

    The full theme will be up soon.

    Ok anyone got tips or found a good tutorial video or something.... Is it possible to like stop people from ganging up on you and throwing like 10 lines worth of crap onto my screen out of no where???

    If that happens, use the Attackers Targeting option, you throw more garbage when people are ganging up on you.

    Getting K.O's also gives you bonuses to your garbage.
