@sharkNserg gamecube controllers are possibly the best controllers that have been made and i don't know why they don't use similar designs anymore
-F

@codl agreed, they need to give foxes back their name

foxes are good
-F

@codl actually maybe yes to the third one? just remembered that the entire .fox tld was bought by a right-wing news outlet over here
-F

@glitternoodle Are you sure it doesn't mean that you can't understand two people speaking at once? because that's definitely true for us at least
-F

@codl no to all three and also "leclerc" probably seems reasonable to a french speaker but to an english speaker it parses as "lec lerc" and just sounds amusing
-F

@sharkNserg I think every smash bros since melee except the 3ds one supports gamecube controllers, right?
-F

Intrusive thought:

"Mannelids™: they're worms, For Men™"

@lorxus @starkatt edamame and tofu with soy sauce comes to mind immediately but what would the other two ways be?
-F

@starkatt I was going to say it could have been just tofu or something but then I realized that tofu is also beans.
-F

also, the game probably doesn't need to be nearly as hard as it is
-F

random thought: who makes the bottles and cans that sodas and beers and stuff are sold in? i'm sure that especially the smaller companies don't make their own

arc rise fantasia, so far, seems like a pretty decent but not outstanding jrpg

- the story, while interesting, seems to have been *heavily* inspired by trails in the sky
-- this mostly applies to the very early game, now it's starting to become its own thing. the main character's middle name is still Bright though which is really on the nose
- the politics of it are so far kind of all over the place?
- the combat system feels generic at first but has some depth to it, if not as much as it seems they were going for
- the music is by Yasunori Mitsuda, so there's definitely some high points there
- there seem to be a lot of romantic undertones in the plot that probably didn't need to be there
- the voice acting is kind of bad? we've heard worse but this isn't the best
- one character's victory pose has some intensely uncomfortable eye contact

@sharkNserg They're generally pretty nice for the sorts of games we play, so I guess it just didn't occur to us that they might not be for other types!
-F

why don't they do detents in analog sticks anymore? only nintendo ever did them to begin with but it was nice
-F

Chili:

hmm.

you're pretty good, thanks for existing
-F

@SwooshyCueb that would imply that you found it somewhat unforgettable, in which case the name is a bit wrong
-F

@xenon Unless you mean eSATA to SATA, I'm not sure why such a thing would exist.
-F

@terrana This seems... strange. Why wouldn't they get to read a script?
-F

it's pretty distracting when, within a single conversation, the same place name is pronounced in like three different ways
