Oh fuck, Hard DK has found his way to you too then :)

Streamer Alpharad got a “Hard DK” bit running since they got their ass handed over to them by a crazy Mario Party CPU DK that was just gambling like mad and winning everything.

They trained an incredibly good amiibo CPU DK in Smash they called Hard DK in reference to this.

I’ll never forgive DK for Mario Party that faithful evening. Maybe i should look into the DK Amiibo, it’d be fun to contribute to my friend group’s bit like that. Assuming the Amiibo isn’t crazy expensive.

brsrklf,

Amiibos are a bit expensive. There are a few DK amiibos, they should all work with Smash because amiibos have a character identifier that’s recognized between games and amiibo series.

The ones from smash bros and super mario series should be around the “normal” price (for me it’s about 13-15 euros). Maybe you can find a second hand one for cheaper.

There’s a new one with DK and Pauline for Bananza, like other new amiibos it costs a bit more (around 18€ for me). It unlocks a costume in Bananza as an extra.

There’s also an old Skylander DK figure that doubles as an amiibo if I remember correctly. It’s kinda ugly and cheap-looking, and probably not easy to find, but who knows.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Damn, Skylanders is a name I haven’t heard in a while. I wonder if I had the DK one growing up. I collected those things like hot cakes so it’s possible. Anything to avoid spending more money. Alternatively I think I bought some NFC tags I can write myself now that I think about it specifically for this purpose

brsrklf,

Make your own Donkey Kong figure with papier mâché or something and stick a tag on it. Boom, one of a kind amiibo!

Looks like a cool game, but considering how many reviewers bring up complaints about the platforming I think I’m going to steer clear to protect my sanity.

litchralee, do trains w Doai Eki train station

Earlier comment:

A minor note: in the name Doai-eki (土合駅), the eki (駅) part means “train station”. So “Doai eki train station” in English is a tad redundant. Kinda like The La Brea Tar Pits.

glowing_hans,

Today I learned this japanese word, wow thanks.

Why do we still attention to tiny loud minority of Gamers^TM^ who whinge about “go woke go broke” and yet these still games sell like hotcakes? Just tell them that if they don’t like the game, then don’t buy the game.

@skulblaka@sh.itjust.works avatar

I prefer to clown on them relentlessly and let them be aware that everyone thinks their opinion is stupid and childish

Allowing this to go unchecked or ignored is how we got here in the first place. “Just ignore the trolls” led to the trolls having actual societal inertia. It is no longer enough to just ignore them, they need pushback.

TankovayaDiviziya,

I don’t disagree. If they troll, troll them back harder. But the way the mainstream act is that these toxic Gamers^TM^ opinions have weight, when in reality their toxic views don’t even make a dent to popular opinions and sales of game developers.

MiddleAgesModem,

There’s a whole thing right now where companies are caving to right-wing pressure about “adult” games. It’s not smart to ignore this.

Buddahriffic,

Tbh, I’m not even sure where most people get exposed to these whiny gamers. Maybe I’m just lucky that the places I spend time on online and offline don’t overlap much with these weirdly conservative gamers who seem to forget that the moral panic conservatives tried to use to ban games they love.

shalafi,

I’ve noticed a lot of things liberals bag on conservatives for are things they don’t say IRL. The converse is true! We pick the most outrageous statements and say, “SEE! That’s what they’re all like!”

Soup,

Literally I’ve talked to people like this. Usually when I was younger, but people aren’t known for growing up. And then there are Facebook comments that are just horrendous cesspools. Also the fact that 99% of conservative politicians are openly homophobic/sexist/etc. and that never seems to disqualify or register with their base and actually improves their chances.

No, many conservatives say some pretty awful shit on the regular and you’re either lying or ignorant.

Bennyboybumberchums,

Preach, brother! Youve nailed it.

Soup,

A lot of Facebook comments are filled with these people. Every once in a while I’ll go there and see an onslaught of people whining about it but generally I keep to saner places. Hell, a woman goes anywhere near a lead role and someone like Ben Shapiro, who has plenty of loyal followers, is right there to bitch and moan about it.

There are plenty of these people around, and I remember even in person when I was younger hearing about people whine about a single gay cahracter in a movie so it is not surprising at all.

Bennyboybumberchums,

Who the fuck is still using facebook???

Soup,

A lot of people, especially a lot conservatives, and being weird about it doesn’t make it untrue.

Bennyboybumberchums,

You know, I dont mind you saying “maga”. But I cant get on board with “conservatives”. They arent all one thing, any more than democrats are. In fact, you cant even say “maga” as a lot of them still want to see the Epstein files. Maybe just say “cunts” :)

Soup,

Maga can still want to see the Epstein files. Conservatives I’m just so fucking tired of because there is no amount of evidence you can show them that will convince them that their backwards ideology is wrong. It all hinges on hyper-individualistic nonsense based on not sharing, and the entire ideology was created by people who believed that poor people were dirty and they did it because they didn’t like that the parasitic monarchs where being treated how they deserved.

A grown adult screaming about low taxes on the rich and throwing in with people who consistently want to strip people of their basic human rights is not a serious person. “I like gay people though!” well you keep voting for homophobes and giving them power so piss off. The internet is a thing, there’s no excuse anymore, and I’m done with these unserious jokers who can’t read or do basic math enough to know that none of their ideas work at any level.

Bennyboybumberchums,

Its fine to disagree with people. Dems and republicans for decades, disagreed, but respected the system. And just got on with it. Look at the state of it now? Neither of you trusts the system. You are both locked into this social media driven culture war, to the point that if you dont win an election, you call it rigged. The MAGAtards went further, raiding the capital and seemingly some were ready to kidnap and kill. But in general, republicans arent like that. They have different values to you, thats true. But they also believe that in the end, you are all Americans. MAGA isnt that.

Think about the time that old biddy started talking shit about Obama to John McCain, and he shot it down quick as fuck. He wouldnt allow his own supporters to lie about the content of Obamas character. THAT is your general Republican. Not MAGA chuds.

You can talk to a republican, maybe even see eye to eye on some issues. You can have an informed debate. You can have that with MAGA. All you get is lies and screaming. And the danger is, if you keep on confusing the two, you end up forcing them together and then you do have one big raging group of cunts. And no one wants that.

Soup,

The system is literally designed to be a problem, and the “culture war” is entirely conservatives trying to strip people’s rights away and getting mad when minorities exist. We literally know that Russia helped Trump to win and Trumps claims were complete nonsense.

One day maybe you will figure it out, but the conservative ideology is a dead-end designed to try to convince the peasantry that what the nobles are doing is fine and normal and is the natural way of things. And if they claim to be nice but keep voting in terrible people they “don’t fully agree with” just so they can pay less tax then I really, honestly, do not fucking care.

Bennyboybumberchums,

No, the culture war is YOU. Look at what youre doing. “Its them, its all them being horrible to buzzword!”. Its not true. It was never true. Its just the excuse people use to justify dog shit.

Like tv shows that dont land with the audience. All the cave brained cunts in the world run to social media to decry the chuds who got it cancelled. But how? How would the chuds not watching it, get it cancelled? Its not like they are the target audience, so why is no one on the supposed left watching this shit? Its being made for them. Like the Acolyte. For some reason we are supposed to believe that youtube grifters like the critical drinker and nerdrotic convinced 153 million households around the world not to watch a great show, just because there was a black girl in it. Its just not possible.

This is the culture wars. Marvel, star wars, star trek, lord of the rings, the witcher, etc etc etc. They abandoned the core audience for those things, and then all started crying “racist, sexist, homophobe!” when they all stopped watching. And this has bled into American politics. And because those in Hollywood are pushing this shit, and calling people awful fucking names, while at the same time taking money to support democrats, the general audience is associating dems with hollywood cunts. Kamala didnt even push any “woke” stuff. She was basically pushing old style Republican stability. She was the PERFECT republican nominee. But no one wanted her, because of that association with hollywood.

The cultures need to end. We need to stop calling stuff woke or not woke, and go back to good or bad. We need to stop pretending that the only reason to like or dislike something is because its got minorities in it. And stop freaking out when theres a white girl on tv selling shitty jeans.

Soup,

Hahahahahaha yea sure buddy the culture war is the people who are finally standing up for themselves against the onslaught of racists and homophobes and definitely not mega rich conservatives constantly inciting violence against others in order to distract from their theft of wealth from the working class. Man, you were at least margainally serious before but if you’re more mad that people are standing up for themselves than you are that peoppe need to stand up for themselves then you’ve lost it, bud.

And people were not mad about “a white girl selling shitty jeans”. It was a fucking Aryan looking woman under the words “good genes” in a time where white supremacy is going hog-fucking-wild in the US and they’re mirroring Nazi Germany in disturbingly close and obvious ways. There are literally people trying to create whites-only communities and, newsflash, those people are conservatives.

Get a grip.

Bennyboybumberchums,

No it isnt. Its for the perpetually online, to use social justice issues for their own self serving reasons. Worthless internet points at best, clout and money at worst.

Soup,

That is very untrue. People appreciate representation, like a lot, and they are very real people. You may do well to get out of your bubble.

    So I’m bad for focusing on the hate that is right be very publicly pushed and even baked into legislation in many places and that makes me the same as the people who are screaming about made up nonsense and using that as justification for even physical violence against minorities?

    You’re not being “reasonable” just because you don’t have the spine for a strong position. All you want is for everyone to stop being loud, regardless of the context, and that’s nothing.

    Saying “everyone is the problem actually” is not enlightened, it’s just an easy answer. There is so much history and context that is missing from that position. It’s nearly the same energy as saying that Ukraine has equal or near equal guilt in the war it is currently a part of despite the fact that it was minding its own business before it was invaded for “reasons”.

    Minorities have spent so goddamn long being told they can’t have a damn thing in the US and every single thing they do have has come with a fight. Hell the working class in general couldn’t get a 40hr work week without literal bloodshed. A little black girl, who’s still alive today because it wasn’t long enough ago, needed an escort to go to school because of how pissed white conservatives were that she was going to be attending a school with white kids. Straight people make all kinds of shitty movies but an all female Ghost Busters isn’t perfect and people blame the gender of the cast and call it “pandering” because they finally weren’t the target audience this time and they can’t let it go.

    I remember thinking similar things around ~20 years old and then I actually started learning things and meeting these people, not just in passing but as my friends, and shit changed quick.

    The addition of romance options in game needs to just be removed. It’s incredibly cringy and rarely ever adds anything to the narrative aside from side-plot fodder.

    Leave relationships to The Sims and quit wasting the time that’s better spent making the game more stable and bug free.

    faythofdragons,

    Either get rid of it or make every romance option open to PCs regardless of character creation options.

    I dunno what you’re saying about the Sims tho, the last time I did romance in the Sims I was killing all my spouses to collect types of death. Far more interesting than the average romance option in games.

    MiddleAgesModem,

    Looks like someone’s bitter he didn’t get any alien tang in Mass Effect

    MourningDove, (edited )

    Seriously… What’s the deal with everyone here making psychological evaluations of one’s disposition based solely on assumptions made from a single comment? I see it everywhere. Is there some mandated requirement with Lemmy that people subscribe to the 2007 Internet Denizens Guidebook to Being Edgy?

    Dude, I’ve logged about 20 minutes of time in Mass Effect. I didn’t like it. So I have no idea what “alien tang” is.

    I simply voiced my opinion on the subject as everyone else has. If that’s not how things work here, then I can definitely see why the user count is diminishing.

    MotoAsh,

    Donpt characterize an entire platform. It’s reductive, srong, and stupid of you to anthropomorphise an entire platform.

    MourningDove,

    What platform did I characterize exactly? And I don’t think you know what anthropomorphize means.

    Pheta,

    That's how the world works buddy. Sorry if you stepped outside your echo chamber, but romance is a part of stories as much as romance will always be a genre of books.

    And everyone's gonna judge you if you say stupid shit like this. 'Psychological evaluation', as you put it, is just extrapolating. Or, if you need smaller words, guessing that since you're dumb enough to completely dismiss romance as being worthy of including in a plot, you might be dumb enough to be a bible thumping Karen, or part of Collective Shout.

    If you really think being a bigot is okay, I don't really know what else to tell you. Bye, don't let the door hit you on the way out? You don't have many friends?

    But yeah, welcome to the real world.

    MourningDove,

    I don’t recall anything I said being bigoted at all, but the. Again- I’m not in charge how you interpret information.

    Speaking of wind tunnels, it appears as if I haphazardly stepped into yours. Apologies that I upset you as it wasn’t my intention.

    Real quick… I was told Lemmy was different than Reddit, clearly that’s not the case here, as a different opinion is frowned upon- so could you maybe direct me to the area of lemmy that _they were talking about?

    It’d be a big help, buddy!

    Heh, I just played Smash Ultimate after a long while too. Had a few matches with my kid. I started strong, beating him in first few matches, then he got better and I lost 70-80% of the matches. 😀

    brsrklf,

    My problem with Smash is I just can’t commit to one character and I’m just kind of bad at all of them. If anything, the most decent I get might be with the Links and Belmonts. I guess projectile jank is kind of my thing.

    RizzRustbolt,

    “They called me a fascist bigot, so I had to start acting like one!” is the argument you’re accidentally making here.

    Bennyboybumberchums,

    Yeah, thats pretty much how it works. If you treat people like theyre pieces of shit long enough, they start acting like pieces of shit. Its fucking basic psychology.

    If everyone calls you a dick for long enough, it will chip away at your self esteem. Eventually, in order to try to improve your situation, you’ll reach out to something bigger than your self. Thats happens every single day for things MUCH less than treating people like they are fascists. For most people, the thing they reach out for is a football team or something like that. But for others, it can be something much worse. Like race, or religion, of political parties. People often ask “How is racism still a thing?” Well, this is how. Low self esteem. And it happens every day with out the help of fuckwits like the guy I responded to, who has clearly already made their choice to be a bigot.

    Theres never any excuse to hate a person because of their skin colour, their sex/gender, or who they love. And if youre trying to make an excuse, you might not be the hero of the story you think you are.

    RizzRustbolt,

    Or… perhaps some honest self-examination is in order?

    Bennyboybumberchums,

    Or perhaps, its fucking text book? Christ, pick up a book and actually read it sometime, instead of just getting all your information from facebook.

    bluecat_OwO,

    maybe the connotation behind this is, gay people making straight (homophobic) people uncomfortable.

    Because every other meaning would derive into a form of hatred one way or the other

    bruh who knows what they meant, but what you mean is, I am pretty sure, kind of mean.

    Don’t be a meanie bennyboybumberchums, spread love, even if they don’t love you(consensually ofc)

    Bennyboybumberchums,

    We know exactly what they meant, because they said the words. Thats how you know what people mean. If they meant to say make bigots feel uncomfortable, they would have said that. But they didnt. Why? Because they see all straight people as the enemy in this weird little culture war they have going on.

    Im a firm believer in you doing whatever you want in life, as long as it doesnt hurt anyone else. Trans, gay, straight and everyone else in between. You do you. But when I see this shit? Dude, rubs me the wrong way. Its just hate to fuel the stupid as fuck culture wars. And people are eating it up and spreading it around. Straight people are not the enemy. Some of them might be, that that doesnt mean you get to hate them all, any more than you get to hate all black guys because some of them sell drugs to kids. Thats just bigotry, and it makes hate so much easier to spread. Just look at MAGA, and how easily it spread amongst them. All because nuance left the conversation, and everyone started to generalise. Its enough, it really is.

    bluecat_OwO,
    @bluecat_OwO@lemmy.world avatar

    Yes I agree with all of what you said here. But I also believe that if they say they didn’t mean what they said, and the original statement has the possibility to get misconstrued then I think they can be given a chance.

    It was my friend's favorite game when it came out, though I never played it myself, and he was a huge FFVII fan, so it might've just been viewed through rose-tinted lenses. Still, if you're big fan like he was, I'd say you might as well give it a shot if you have the opportunity. If I recall correctly, he said it was only 5-10 hours long, so not too much of a commitment.
