In general the game's walk speed is infuriating and for some reason taking damage first makes you slower, then speeds you up when you only have one hit left. Since putting distance between you and an enemy is how you give yourself time to actually do the combat that is just random extra frustration. And the main gameplay outside of combat is mostly backtracking distances that would be fine at normal video game walk speeds

they're doing some interesting stuff, the levels are varied and pretty, the "combat" is nonviolent and novel, though imo the difficulty curve is too steep at times and in my opinion they could've made it a bit easier, especially some of the time limits tacked onto things.

Also grinding cookies by kicking anything in the level (which is mandatory, you need them to buy stronger attacks) is frustrating bc they bounce all over and despawn quickly.

this is a children's game btw, literal babby game

I just gave up after dying to the final boss lmao

at least in Dolphin the final level (which has multiple timed segements and no checkpoints) can a just put you under the map and then you get to play it again

holy shit Piglet's Big Adventure is frustrating

discord needs a "please I just wanna see the chat messages between all the visual clutter" mode at this point

yes mac os when I move a window to another screen I want it all the way to the left so it's hard to even grab it to move it back into view. thank you

I'm probably the only one who misses the fullscreen app list in Mac OS but I miss it a lot

lmao they just sent me a "no one was there" email, I was definitely there and no one rang the fucking door

I just watched a parcel jump from right next to the house back to the parcel center in the "live tracker", amazing

wtf the controller costs 10$ extra? that nothingburger design?

I'm buying the amiibo tho

first special edition of the Switch 2 Pro controller and it's this fuckass thing

RESIDE Switch 2 VIL

(it's not that bad I just need big handles on my controllers and the triggers need so much force so it's not great for racing games)

now my hand hurts because the dualshock 3 is a shit controller with awful triggers

this main menu screen is the definition of committing to the bit. Seeing "DOMINATE SHATTER BAY. DOMINATE THE WORLD" set my expectations to exactly the right amount

the boost button lets you drive through walls (but only specific ones) or "frag" opponents (yes, they call it that) which sounds much cooler than it is. It's Burnout but not fun. Your car has health even though the game ostensibly wants you to drive into things and you can get randomly "fragged" from behind with no recourse.
