I feel like the jump is going to be busted on some courses. If only I could use it XD

Sometimes I watch things I think will make me cry. Often they do. Things I watch/play/listen I don't expect to cry for though? Here is a few, Valkyria Chronicles Wind Waker Great Sea theme (listening to an orchestra play it frequently causes tears to well up, doesn't always happen but if i listen to it very attentively, it does). Same with Canalave city theme Lord of the rings used to not make me cry. Now I cry for like 20-30 minutes at the end. Avatar the last airbender. That Iroh scene in tales of Ba Sing Sae Roma (the netflix movie), can't remember the scene but it was close to the end. The beginning of Guardians of the galaxy (I was in theaters and I thought it was still commercials. I was crying at the first scene, and then the kid gets kidnapped and I realized it was a movie and not some strange ad). The ending of How I met Your mother. I didn't mind how the show ended but also, I cry a lot at seeing the group struggle with the reality of life pulling them in different directions and dealing with the fact that they can no longer hang out all the time. Similar vibe with Michael leaving the Office.

My first two wishes were fairly safe bets though. Although missions and characters/Kart stats were mentioned. Unsure if missions will have bosses and stuff, but obstacle courses should be fun to try. Unfortunately stats were just mentioned, and not elaborated upon because we can't be trusted i guess

What I want is a confirmation that 3 lap races in different venues will be available (aside from the 3 lap race of every first grand prix), specially for online. Grand prix online would be fine, but I would like to also be able to play and choose different tracks and play 3 laps on them (some tracks look great and to only really run 1 track is kinda meh). I would also like to know if there will be unlockable characters. I think it would also be neat to make our own grand prix. Also while i care very little about the open world, I think it would be cool to see if there are missions akin to Mario Kart DS/Wii online events that are scattered around. I would prefer if it was in the menu, but I'll take what I can get. They wont do this, but I wish they speak about character stats. I want to know if each character has different stats and what hidden stats vehicles have.

Switch 2 Direct discussion - Hopes & Expectations
Zanarkin replied to Perkilator's topic in General Gaming
https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2025/04/nintendo-is-delaying-switch-2-pre-orders-in-canada I don't think reason why was ever explicitly stated. However, if Canadian pre-orders went live, it would have likely resulted in a large in-flux of americans buying canadian stock. They might even avoid tariffs that way, assuming at least the initial run of Switch 2 batches aren't impacted by tariff pricing. True, the orange man's actions have also done wonders in undermining the Canadian conservative party. Which I think is a win for everyone here. -

Zanarkin replied to Integrity's topic in General Gaming
Yay, the ff12 write up is here, and I agree with all of it (well most of it, I have never done the special marks so I can't say anything about it). I love the cast, although Penelo is kind of forgettable. I may be misremembering but her role starts off ok, but after the mines, she kind of gets pushed to the side. At least Vaan is meant to be the player insert, so he gets a lot more lines and meaningful scenes. I don't remember Penelo having many except when Larsa shows up, and even then it is not guaranteed. Ever since I learned Penelo and Ashe don't interact in any cutscene, its made me think about the small role she has. She has a role in the ending cutscene so that's something I guess. If you want to keep some changes from the zodiac version but hate the jobs, you can mod it. I think there are quite a few that let you have the traditional boards. I personally love the Struggle for Freedom mod which makes the game even more difficult while making other balance changes as well. I recommend that to anyone that ever wished some spells worked differently or even wanted other spells (like Aqua and Waterga), or wanted weapons to work differently (ex. hammers don't deal random damage). The changes are huge and totally worth a look at if you love the game. -
Micaiah’s Weapon Rank for Part 1 Normal Mode
Zanarkin replied to Barren's topic in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
If memory serves right, mages can destroy many units, because a lot of them have piss poor resistances. Their high magic, coupled with low enemy resistance means low might tomes still hit pretty hard. Mind you, you still want to be doubling which for most mages is a tall order. I haven't played the game in a very long time though lol so take anything i say with a grain of salt. It could be I'm being misled by my memory of killing a late game boss (half-boss?) with a meteor tome in 1 turn lol. -
When I played Queek I had none of the DLC. I struggled building effective armies with their base units, although that may just be because I built the wrong facilities and I thought stormvermin were the go to. Unfortunately the elfs showed me my folly, those damn archer horses are such a nuisance. I enjoyed the game enough that I ended up getting it during their last sale though. Also, because I hate seeing units that look cool that I can't use. Their business model works Ikit looks so epic, I was fighting them during Tyrion campaign and they dropped a nuke on me. I can't wait to use it against my enemies. I'm glad I am not the only one that happens to lol

I've been playing Warhammer 3, finished 2 campaigns. Grand Cathay on normal with Zhao Ming for RoC, and Tyrion on normal in IE. The game is so fun, and I have been loving it, but honestly, some fatigue sets in part way through. I'm in a strange place where it is the only game I want to play, but it consumes so much I'm hesitant to start another campaing lol. I suppose it is a good problem to have. I tried playing Queek Headtaker on hard and got my ass handed to me. Same with Kairos Fateweaver. Slaneesh just declared war on me as I finished with nurgle and I was not ready to fight them, at all. Turns out pink and blue horrors are not good against them :<. Queek on the other hand started ok, until the dwarfs started surrounding me. They came from the north and south. The rats have it hard. They are hated by everyone. I did manage to make peace and some other treaties with the chaos dwarfs by obliterating Imrik and selling them some places, but the dwarfs came too quickly.

Paper Mario TTYD Remake is out. Who's playing?
Zanarkin replied to Zapp Branniglenn's topic in General Gaming
I wonder if it is situation dependent. I'll have to give it a try next time the game tells me I have to do something while suggesting a partner ability. Edit: Oh neat it absolutely is. I just pressed the hint button in a place I couldn't continue on, but could get something with a partner ability, and then Koops Icon showed up while I had Flurry as the partner. That is pretty neat! Edit2: Also, abusing the lottery is very profitable. Changing the date is super easy, and can net you ultra shrooms (rarely), and life shrooms (somewhat common) that can sell for 75 and 43 coins at Pungent's store respectively. I got such easy money just trying to get that lucky day badge. -
Paper Mario TTYD Remake is out. Who's playing?
Zanarkin replied to Zapp Branniglenn's topic in General Gaming
I decided to try the pit right after hooktail, and I got all the way to level 50. I stopped there because I had to redo a few level 40's. And that is how I found out it wasn't a boss-like encounters only feature. I'm loving the game. It reminds me so much when I first played it and I really love all of the charm this game has now that I'm able to read english much faster and understand a more of the language based humour. Also I really love the addition of the battle master. I only learned about stylish moves watching some challenge runs of the original on Youtube, but I did not know every attack move can be done stylishly. I was very pleased the first time I did it and I love that the battle master lets me practice for as long as I want to. Edit: Also pressing ZL only gives dialogue from goombella (An icon of hers show up on the dialogue box when other partners are active). -
Judging from the fact that Breath of the Wild and Tears of the kingdom took 5+ years of development each, I really doubt we see a big budget zelda game so soon. Best I can imagine is re-releases of TotK and BotW or remasters of older games. For a release line I could see: A new Mario Kart, Metroid Prime 4 (with a big advertising push so no 4 on the title to get newcomers that are attracted to the shiny space look), a new 3d Mario. Possibly F-Zero but might conflict with mario kart so idk. I'd love to see Star fox, 3d DK, and a good big release of games from N64 + gamecube on their subscription.

Zanarkin replied to Integrity's topic in General Gaming
I've been playing helldivers 2 through my friends library with steam share and its amazing. Makes me want to get it really bad so I can play with my friend. The first game is pretty good too. -
That is how I managed to do it. When I play Grand Prix now I tend to wait a bit and join a room with fewer players and make sure it doesn't get too full. If it does, I usually leave. I do hope they become more common in normal game play. They are very fun and challenging courses, and I would like a 99 car race in fire field. Just imagine the chaos on the sharp turns.

Is the first game you play in a series always your favorite?
Zanarkin replied to Zapp Branniglenn's topic in General Gaming
I played PoR, but Radiant Dawn is my favourite. I played pikmin 3, first but prefer Pikmin 4. Valkyria chronicles 1 was also my first, but then Valkyria chronicles 4 is even better. My first Zelda was OoT, but I much prefer Majora's mask, although I haven't really given too much thought to how the Zelda games all fit among each other in my mind. Pokemon I played blue slightly, and remember getting through big chunks of gen 3, but my favourite is Gen 4. I'm conflicted between both HG/SS and Platinum, both are so good. It might be true of other series I have played though. Idk.
