@veru it's not to say the game is bad by any means, just that the open world gimmick is bad.

I would say that waiting for the next direct and/or metroid prime 4 is going to be the best thing to do for most people when considering a switch 2. Definitely not worth buying right now. Buuuut I am still enjoying playing it. Personally I am really waiting for the Kirby upgrade and Air Riders.

@lebronjames75 @lain fair points, although with musicians like this they do have in-ear monitors so they definitely can hear themselves and the rest of the band very clearly. I'm a singer as well so I'm not really talking out of my ass here for what it's worth lol.

@teto yeah I never thought the open world would be any good whatsoever and it really isn't. Some people are having a good time with it but that is not me. I wanted the game for the racing, and the racing is fun. The p switch missions can be fun and challenging, but all you get for doing them is stickers which are equally as pointless. You get stickers for hitting question panels and getting peach medallions too. So 3 different things you can do in the open world that all give you the same shit. It's the korok problem from botw/TotK all over again but far less useful. It's like they had this great idea for the race tracks to all connect to each other and exist in a world, but then they half-assed the world element. It would have been way better if they just copied need for speed's open world design wholesale. Make me drive to the races, give me money for collecting medallions that I can spend on karts or kart upgrades (or even stuff like costumes and paint jobs or extra characters) and I would have been much happier with it.

@Inginsub @Junes didn't they already try that once and the guy got a huge settlement out of it

@Gran3Walder all I can think of looking at this is the bike road in 3rd Gen Pokémon

@lebronjames75 @lain man those vocal cords are not what they used to be huh

@vriska I THINK THAT SOMEOME IS TRYING TO KILL ME

Unlocked mirror mode on Mario Kart World. Haven't really touched the open world much because it's boring as shit imo so it took a little while to get it. Unfortunately you don't seem to get anything for 100% completing anything in the game, but I still really want to get perfect marks on at least all of the Grands Prix including mirror mode.

@shadowhawx you really have the proportions nailed down now!

@rodecchi I just got a notification that I can deposit and transfer USD with binance, I was wondering if it would work for all of y'all

@Mr_NutterButter thanks! there is a WHOLE lot of back story for all of this stuff happening too and there is a lot riding on some characters living or dying, it's going to be intense.

man, it was intense last session with people just climbing down a rope. one of the guys was freaking out so much he didn't want to roll lol. he's the one who can breathe in any condition though so he'll probably be fine. two of the challenges he can get through without a single roll, one of them he'll need to be swimming so he can still breathe under there but he might die due to the cold of the water if he takes too long.

tonight's d&d session is going to be juicy. the party first has to battle against 3 deadly warlocks with a floating card that has random effects as a lair action. then, they have to pass 5 difficult trials on a mountain pass that everyone has said they'll likely die on. i would not be surprised in the slightest if there was at least one death, maybe not of the PCs but perhaps the NPCs that are with them.

i did make sure that all of these trials were completely passable if they take the right steps and work together. one of the characters can breathe under any conditions so he's straight up immune to two of the trials. i think if they use each character's strengths well they can all make it. i even have safeguards in place for when they fail a roll. they basically have to fail three rolls in a row to actually die, and even then there might be ways they can save themselves.

i won't be surprised if someone dies, but i won't be surprised if everyone lives either. my players have a habit of taking my expectations and flushing them down a toilet so sometimes you gotta' get a little bit crazy with it haha.

@arc AND IT'S HAPPENED ONCE AGAIN
I'VE TURNED TO A FRIEND
SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS
