You clicked on the thread and you typed the comment. You felt the need to come to !nintendo@lemmy.world to tell us this.

Can't believe Namco actually remembered that other Tales games besides Symphonia exist.

Now give us Destiny DC + 2. Or anything else that hasn't been released in the west for that matter, anything.

I'm not sure why you felt the need to come to !nintendo@lemmy.world to tell us this.

Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes] - I WON A FIVE MAN BRACKET WOOOOO! Also played some Skullgirls casuals for a little while after the bracket ended.

Mahjong Soul/Riichi City/IRL mahjong - Ever since Balatro blew up, people have been joking about when we're gonna see the mahjong roguelike next. Then four different ones went into development. Then Mahjong Soul surprised dropped a fifth one as a limited time event, and it might be the most promising of all of them. Then I broke the hell out of it.

Splatoon 3 - Team practice. Don't have any cool clips to share rn, maybe next week.

There are some old English-language resources available on the wiki. But I've never quite liked the way we try to teach the game by just showing pictures of an idealized chain built in a frictionless vacuum, it's a very "draw the rest of the owl" approach. Nor do I know what a better approach looks like for a game this abstract.

At one point I was working on a video where I'd build a chain step-by-step and overexplain my thought process on each piece. But that sits on a large mountain of unfinished projects and ideas. I'm retired from the game now because, well, I can't continue justifying my competitive energy towards a game that just has no future as long as its publisher hates it, so it's never going to get finished.

If you want functional online, the Switch version of Puyo Puyo Champions is the only title worth bothering with. Specifically Switch, other platforms are ghost towns.

If you want singleplayer content, 15th Anniversary, 20th Anniversary, and Chronicle are all peak. None of these games were released outside of Japan and they're older titles you'll have to emulate, hence all my salt about the state of things today, but at least they do have fantranslation patches.

I wrote that essay back in 2021, and three years later time proved all of it correct. This game straight up killed the series.

Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes] - Made top 8 at locals. Then played a long casual set with the guy who eliminated me from bracket, came out of it feeling like I understand the Carmine matchup better now. Bonus casual netplay clip.

Finding local groups dedicated to a hobby is great. I play a lot of Riichi Mahjong online, but it took me an embarassingly long time to realize "Hey I should see if there's a local club around here to play offline." There is, and now I have an excuse to leave the house for weekly meetups, and I've met some great friends here.

I also play fighting games, but I've mostly played more niche titles that never had an active local scene where I live, so I was limited to occasionally traveling out to play 1-2 tournaments a year. This year I finally picked up a game that is active around here, so I'm finally going to FGC locals again.

How many "one final chance"s has he had?

Don't. There's no reason to care about the anniversary of someone creating an account on a website. "Cake day" as a concept was one the most insufferable reddit-isms, and will remain so no matter what else you call it.
