EEVILMURRAY

Just gone through the Winter Wonder level. Missing the last bot, and surprised the bots were not there in the core game

They arrived this morning, very pleased that they have the heavy duty backs to stop them falling out. Similar to these: https://www.fangamer.com/products/locking-pin-backs?srsltid=AfmBOoog2Ub0Jb4gERg4hMvqlKTVajqKjmOuQjSQ6BIVDHf6G_2JASkH

There is a New Zealand version on iPlayer now, seems to have a couple of NZ celebrities, but nowhere near bogged down by the amount of "reality TV stars" that the American version has, so there's no whiny drama. A little twisty.

I think I'm gonna put a tenner on Trump if the odds are crazy enough.

I was tempted for this, but I mainly went on for the Brothership pin badges and was sadly a few coins short to buy both

Same here, although I've never played Tooie until now. I'm wondering how much my mind may get blown when it appears on NSO

I've tweaked the wording a little. Don't see much of a problem there.

It is demanding and complicated, because of how bigger and bloated it is. Making you jump through more more hoops for the same results does you mean you have to put more into it, but you're not going to get much return. I've not long passed the Witchyworld dodgems instance mentioned in this video and I get it completely, all that back and forth for that, I would say I felt more relief it was over than inherently rewarded.

It's also kinda meh, the game system is a watered down version of the actual TCG, and the only way to get a decent deck is to pull an EX card/Gym Leader, which unlocks a rental version of their deck* to use against the CPU opponents who later on rock 2-3 EX Pokémon per deck (and you're lucky to have even one). I've made my way through the missions with mainly the Brock deck and used only decks of own creation using only booster back pulls about 2-3 times. *which you can use 10 times, Brock has disappeared on my list to use because I used it too much.

Si. And the balloon game in the bouncy castle. I'll check out da rock though, I think I've flown around Spiral Mountain already, but might as well since I'm there

I can see the criticisms of the worlds being too big coming out of world 3. It feels weird after all the fapping around I've done and how long it's taken (just opened up world 4) I've only got about 16 jiggies. I feel I should have more for the investment. I'll take it to the end because I am enjoying it, but it isn't going to be 100% completion. I've skipped a couple at the moment because messing with flying and shooting just wasn't working out for me. It's weird Yooka Laylee ended up being what it was when this kind of opinion was given to them years prior.

I did something semi-similar along those lines when taking Pokédex text literally from cards many years back https://derekwheatley.wordpress.com/2012/04/05/feature-dark-side-of-the-mon-2/

I've done some of them, but the ones where they strip you of all echoes so you have to throw rocks to defeat your first enemy or whatnot weren't for me. Maybe I wasn't thinking outside of the box enough. I was only doing it to try and get that sword for Dampè, but I haven't even tried using the automatons he has given me already (all 2 of them)

No need, I saw it the first time, after I'd done it obviously. Both one-note approaches either way. All in all, not a bad game, I think I will check a guide and get the last echoes, but dream dojo, horse racing, stamps, pieces of heart... Nah, I'll flog it.

Finished off the final battle today, the passiveness was even stronger here since your ability to attack is butt fucked into oblivion. About 5 echoes off completion according to the Deku Tree, but not sure if I can be arsed to find them all, don't know if I need another pot/bed to add to my collection
