And then the big one is Baton Pass. I played some Persona 4 yesterday and it felt so restrictive without the ability to pass my 1 More to someone else. Baton Pass feels so good to use.

bless Royal for giving baton pass ASAP.

Did they just give the likelihood of their game being released in any given month in the form of a Gaussian distribution? That's novel.

It’s not a Gaussian distribution because it’s discrete

excited that 2021 GOTY Monster Hunter: Rise will get decent online on a Nintendo console

I wonder if the demo is already using it? SNU, FRR, and I had no issues staying connected when we played the demo together a few weekends ago

The Monster Hunter Rise demo was the first test for this new multiplayer system.

The lack of symmetry is also a giveaway!
Yeah I didn't even look at the actual numbers. Binomial distributions with p=0.5 can look bell shaped-ish, so I thought it might be that, but it just looks like a regular ol discrete distribution

But I'm probably going to use this as an example when we get to the part of the semester where we calculate expected values

I've just applied for a job where I might have to teach intro stats to undergrads, but I didn't think about noting down distributions for examples as I come across them. Good idea!

good luck! DM me if you want to chat about it before or after you get the job, I've been teaching intro stats for a couple years now

Speaking of difficulty, I have game overed more times in Origami King in one session tonight than in most games I played in 2020...

I have a stupid brain that can't do spatial reasoning, so I equipped some of the extra defense items and threw coins at Toads for help all the time.

On the one hand, what the gently caress. On the other hand, I've already beaten Judgment, and don't think I'll be returning to it when I have 3, 4, 5 and half of 6 to play.

this right here

I liked Judgment a lot but I have four unplayed RGG games and if I were going to replay one, it'd be 7, Kiwami 2, or maybe 0

when I was a kid I insisted on the following binding for MMX4-6

R1 dash
R2 shoot
L1 jump
L2 special

(or something I’m actually having trouble recalling it)

And you know how you’ll make up ways to make games multiplayer as a kid, so my friends and I would trade off controllers each level. And I insisted on rebinding the controls. Every. Single. Time

Played some “Final Fantasy 7” last night and I got to the end of Midgar

I am enjoying myself, but probably purely because I can 3x speed battles and long walking sequences and stop random battles when I’m trying to parse a background JPEG

Now it’s exciting because I know barely anything about FF7 after Midgar other than the thing so the rest of it will be new to me

Also where did Cloud get a bike?

John on SDGC is an Iraq veteran and he apparently had a lot to say about the Fallujah game on their episode tonight. I haven't listened yet, but his takes regarding the military's role in the games industry are usually very good.

Onto a dumber thing... In honor of 3D World's imminent release,

:siren: WUGGLESQUEST FEBRUARY UPDATE :siren:

At the end of 2021 I have to have played twice as many games from my backlog (as it was in 2020) than I bought lest I be banned from the Something Awful comedy forums. This was easy in January, but now that I'm working again I have more time to look at stores and less time to play long games. Also now there are games coming out and Lunar New Year sales...

Spreadsheet of backlog and purchases: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13IEArcKturd2dCcN2MSRhIeneg6E8JUa-3AwqWcYeK4/

Games beaten: 5
Games to beat: 8

Beloved forums moderator ShallNoiseUpon ruled that the itch.io Lunar New Year bundle counts as one purchase.

That is a goddamn hilarious (if tasteless) way to mock one of the worst writing decisions in the history of video games. That's the kind of joke GBS would have made.

I think a lot of the pixel precision that goes into a 2D game with sprite art gets lost when you move into a more open-ended 3D engine. There are other examples of this phenomenon in various circumstances, for example I think Fire Emblem crits will never again look as good as they did on the GBA

It’s ok, I like 3D Zelda a lot. But I do think your overall point is correct

I will not make a list because I can’t remember anything

No Pokemon; that direct is next week
At least Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 Remix (KH3 is just Particle Effects: The Game, sorry Switch owners)

You can just watch that poo poo on Youtube and not play the bad game. You've somehow convinced yourself that wanting to skip large portions of the game means that it's good and that's absurd.

buddy I wish I could explain to you why I like KH

KH2, 3, BBS, and Dream Drop Distance (when I finally played them all a couple years ago) got their hooks right into me like few other games do. spent hours on menus tweaking dumb sub-systems and unlocking new abilities

I know it's trash but it's sweet, delicious trash
