I actually posted a reaction on Tweakers about this! In short: I don't mind it, but in practice I'll stick to mainly Steam and a few others, because otherwise I'm losing oversight and I also don't like to have too many of them on my computer. The new game from the makers of Transistor / Bastion / Pyre is actually exclusive on the new Epic store while it's in early access. And so I have no interest in it for now.

Played some Zelda 2. Met Mr. Error. Went looking for Parapa Palace in the West. Dead end. Then went into some caves without a candle. Found some trophy and some magic. Then I found Parapa Palace. In the East. Got beat up by a bunch of skeletons and died. Then forgot to save. THE END.

Lora Laura for Smash. Artbook coming out 02-02-2019. It's 352 pages, and costs 2900円.

It took a while, but I've seen the first films of 2019. I'll promise to report more frequently this time. Anyway, 2019 started great. The favourite ♥♥♥♥♥ imdb trailer A period drama, with the occasional absurd dry comedy thrown in. Apparently about a real British Queen (Anne). I wasn't familiar with her, and some of the humour threw me off and made me think it was purely fictional. I read up about it afterwards, and it seems it's ever so loosely based on the real Queen Anne, but the director (the same one as from The Lobster), took plenty liberties in order to tell his story. It's about poor Queen Anne, who's both physically and mentally less and less fit for the role of Queen, and gets manipulated both by her old friend / lover and a newcomer. All three ladies, Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz, and especially Emma Stone (♥♥♥), are great. Cold War ♥♥♥♥♥ imdb trailer A Polish tragic love story about two flawed people who are totally mismatched, and despite the circumstances, can't help but fall in love. Set against the backdrop of the 50s, first in Poland with the Communist regime in charge, but Paris is another big setting. Bittersweet, and visually stunning.

I don't often watch documentaries, but this is one I'm interested in:

This actually looks interesting, But not sure if I want to mess around with starting and canceling (trial) subscriptions.

Just like we don't read them, they probably copy and paste those texts.

While it looks cool and all, I don't have to point out that not having the soundtrack on actual vinyl is a bit of a missed opportunity?

Not since you changed your nickname back! But that could be it perhaps.. I actually did start to notice it after a bit of a sting, the one I usually have when one of those fucking eyelashes gets caught up there again. Seriously, I have a million of them, they keep falling out, but also keep growing back. And half of them end up in / on / beneath / behind my eye. There's no real swelling though. It's actually some kind of white junk like the stuff from pimples. But there's nothing to see from the outside.

Maybe it's something else, but since it's a thin piece of skin anyway, and It feels like one, I think it is one. And I still have it. It's damn annoying.

No I want a sequel dammit.

Yeah but to me, it makes sense to do it sooner rather than later. Like I said, I don't think NES games currently are selling (or helping sell) subscriptions. And logistically it just doesn't make sense to wait. Even NES has still plenty of (great) games to offer, but at their current rate, we are well into Switch 2 before we have them all. It's one of those things where they need to step up their game or just not bother at all. Their current effort is wasted as nobody's getting excited about 3 NES games amonth (and not even all of them interesting).

It's not about hopes, as I have no strong feeling one way or the other. It just seems sensible to me. Nintendo hasn't impressed with Switch online so far, NES games will not have sold subscriptions to those on the fence. SNES games won't make it a whole lot better, but it's another step in the right direction.

Releasedate: 29-03-2018 2019

I think this is a red herring. Only two titles? It's not like there are not still plenty of other NES titles they could release. I think the 3rd title will be Super Mario World which they will announce in the direct. Of those two though, I'm definitely interested in replaying Zelda 2. Blaster Master doesn't interest me while I have Blaster Master Zero available.. Edit: I see now Japan actually has a 3rd game (Joy Mech Fighter?). I still think they'll announce SNES titles in the January Direct.

Nice surprise. I'll take it! "It's on my Steam wishlist, so I guess I'll buy it on Switch instead."

Probably because while we're pushing, they had a guy covering the middle while no one on our team noticed. The only explanation. Anyway, fun games ike. Great to see the holiday themed maps, although it would have been even nicer to have seen and played them during the actual holidays.. I think the splatfest ends later than usual, so maybe we can get some more games in tomorrow with more NE people.. Though I'm not sure what my plans are.

Should have won that last one haha. That's just stupid.. That whole map is weird. Only the middle matters. And there's only one easy entrance.

Friend fiend just rolls off the tongue.

Me neither. Then I'll go with Marina and @Vileplume2000, and go friends.

I'll boot it up now.. But give me 10 minutes to once again get a feeling for the controls, check out the stores, and collect those new year thingies. Anyones else? Oh what team @Ike?
