Someone in the AC thread said you can pay Leif 100k to get rid of all of your weeds. I didn't play for about 6 months and it honestly wasn't too bad to clean up manually, but if you're still rich from turnips or something it's nice there's a shortcut.

Yeah, but that's kind of "the point" of Animal Crossing, isn't it? I'm hoping they add new recipes as time goes on...I know this is being billed as the "last major update", though.

"Store upgrades/more stores" and "Night Owl ordinance" were my two main complaints with the base game, so the update adding these would have been enough for me. The gyroids and the cooking are just extra bonuses. :D

Thinking about either Persona 5 Strikers or Immortal Fenyx Rising. But I'm also thinking about how I have dragon quest xi and three houses in the old backlog and I shouldn't pile it deeper.

If it helps any, it may be a factor that P5:S and Immortal both have gameplay that's fairly different from the JRPG/TRPG of your current slate.

At least for me, I know I like to have an action or adventure game to play along with my visual novels or turn-based games.

Picked up DQXIS now that it's at its lowest ever price on the eshop. I figured since I'd already played the original on PS4 I'd play primarily in 2D mode, but that mode really is pretty barebones isn't it? None of the enemy battle sprites are animated at all, which was really the big draw of the 2D DQ games. Granted, I only played to the end of Cobblestone Tor, but I don't see that changing later on. I know I'm going to have to play Tickington in 2D, but otherwise I think I'm going to stick to 3D and give everyone the silliest-looking costumes I can.

I would use the 2D feature a whole lot more if you were able to switch it from the pause menu (rather than at churches).

Nah, I'm with you. The worst is when it's played off as "WELL, HE'S AN OLD MAN, HE'S HARMLESS!"

In a similar vein, my partner was horrified to learn that, prior to New Horizons, Kapp'n would hit on female players (but not male), as he'd only ever made male characters in AC and thus never experienced things such as:





Even as a little girl, I was kinda unsettled! Nothing like teaching young girls to just "deal with it" when they're a captive audience (boat ride, taxi ride, etc) to a pervy old man! New Horizons nerfed Kapp'n's boner, and I'm glad. :colbert:

I'm sure it comes from the "oh, he's a perv but he's old and thus harmless" trope and not "let's make female players, particularly young ones, feel creeped out", but...

Anyway, I am pleased to report that Kapp'n in New Horizons appears to have the same lines for both "masculine" and "feminine" players, thus no perving. However, now we can't help but crack jokes to put a darker spin on his innocent lines...

The dumb thing about The Completionist is he almost without fail complains that after completing everything in the game no new mode or bonus was unlocked.

But if it was, then he wouldn't have completed it. Then he would have to go complete that, and there would not be another new mode or bonus, and then he would complain that no new mode was unlocked by completing it.

To give a counterpoint, I found House of Leaves to be boring and really up its own rear end. At no point was I ever scared or creeped out, just annoyed at having to flip the book upside down to read yet another passage telling me how creepy this house is supposed be.

It's basic creepypasta, just pre-internet.

I'm definitely in the minority, though.

I'm just wondering what you people think you remember of Beetlejuice that would require an R or even PG-13 rating. I recently watched it with my 8 year old and thought it was fine. There's no sex, no gore, only cartoon violence, and just a smidge of bad language. There's some cigarette smoking that you wouldn't see in a modern PG movie, but it was the 80s.
