Like people will usually point to this interview as a gotcha whenever someone asks Nintendo about crunch and they're like, "Oh we're not doing so bad over here" and the like:

https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/294923/Qamp_A_Design_lessons_learned_from_a_decade_at_Nintendos_EAD.php

quote:

In those days, Miyamoto would come to us at 11 PM, after he finished all of his board-member work, and say, "It's Mario time." At that point, we'd start a planning meeting that would run until 2 AM. At that point, Miyamoto would go home, leaving us with the words, "You should return home soon, for your health." Over the next two or three hours, we'd write the game design documents and summarize the instructions for our artists and programmers.

It was the craziest crunch time that I've ever experienced in my development career. But if the God of Games was working so much, could we give up? Miyamoto had incredible stamina.

But again that was the DS and Wii days he's recalling from, which has already been stated to be less intense for some compared to the Gamecube/N64 and further back days.

you can turn bud into abv, and you can turn abv into edibles. it's ecological all the way down. reduce, reuse, recycle

this is also why an eighth lasts like half a year for me lol. well that and not following the snoop's advice

Shaped like a friend

Thinking about Soul Nomads villain route you can do where you wind up stabbing all the heroes in the gut and poison the water and there's no redemption. You're just a complete goddamn monster with no humor. The only way to get a 'heroic' ending in that route is to actually loving up and lose against the final boss and even then it's bittersweet as hell.

I don't recall any other game going that loving hard in "you're a terrible being" in a long while.

a flower vape owns, vaping owns on its own, it makes it last longer, and also it activates it and makes it edible without needing to bind it to a fat. a homerun.

Vaping doesn't solve the core problem here because you still gotta pack the thing even if it's sucking it up into the glass tube mouthpiece from your grinder like a straw, nvme is just too fast

No idea if splatoon is good or not but it is quite ugly

Also does Nintendo really not do crunch? Cool if true

They don't do crunch, and when the Wii U was deemed a huge failure, Nintendo was faced with mass layoffs. Instead of doing that though their executives took big time pay cuts to avoid it. I'm sure Nintendo is by no means perfect to work for, but they are still vastly superior to many large companies out there.

personally i use it to make butter. strain it with a cheesecloth to get all the burnt crumbs out.

make some kind of pastry that requires low heat to finish. my buddy always does muffins... not really my thing but you have many options. the resulting butter will taste a little grassy and a little smoky but that's a perfect flavor complement to cloying sweetness.

banana bread, that's a good flavor pairing too. orange bread probably not so much.

the blood fleas are some of the worst enemies in the game, so if you like them in cainhurst then you'll love them in the dlc!

i love how if you use a visceral attack in the chalice dungeons, one of them will show up later licking up the bloodstain

If it helps the enemies outside are way harder to deal with than the ones inside the castle. Boss is a stinker though.

it was weird, the only reason I didn't explore the castle the first time was because I thought the inside would be just as tough as outside. I did get to the boss and died after about 3 hits so it can also stand to wait a little bit; not currently subscribed to ps+ so I'm just soloing everything for now, sheer determination (and a +10 hunter's axe) will prevail
