Yeah, I'm kind of interested in that one now. Is it more skill based than Portal 2 or is it also more of a puzzle game?

It's slightly more tolerable that it was given to him in the moment, but it's still on him for accepting it. His political career is over anyway.

Really enjoyed Portal 1, and finished the co-op mode in Portal 2 today, so still got the single-player mode in Portal 2 to start on another day. I don't think I've ever actually played a multiplayer game before that required co-operation; it was things like Mario Odyssey or Kirby Forgotten Land where you can almost get through it all without the other player doing anything at all.

It's quite satisfying that I've got a bit stuck on some of the puzzles, but they are all still solvable without a guide. I think I've got into a habit in recent years of looking up a guide when I get stuck on a certain part of the game, but with Portal I really wanted to work it out on my own so didn't actually have a desire to look up the solution.

There's something cool about getting a Japanese card, isn't there?

You can write a**hole using backslash escapes before *.

The aita sub was rarely funny, so it will be interesting to see how they make it a comedy gameshow.

 

PSA there's a big sale on the eshop until April 27. Quite a few first-party titles with a 33% discount and others with bigger discounts. I picked up Portal 1 & 2 for about £3, it really is good.

I also discovered https://www.dekudeals.com/ recently - it tracks prices over time so you can see how good the current discount is and physical/digital from different retailers.

I would assume it's a spam email and delete it. Are they really deporting people over email? Seems more like a postal letter kind of thing.

I can do a Turtwig, you can offer any 1 diamond.

The thing that worries me here is the ones that are marked okay have passed "basic compatibility testing". What are the chances that when someone actually plays through them, something will be broken? Maybe slim, I don't know, but would there be a patch for those cases?

I can help with a few of your 2-diamond cards, FC 3765139124128782. I don't need any particular cards back, so just offer whatever.

I can give you an Electrivire if you have a Luxray (STS)

When I first saw MK World, I thought, "it's lucky I didn't get MK8 so I can get this instead", but then the main difference (besides tracks) was the open world thing, which doesn't look that appealing to me.

I'll say again how similar it is to MK on the Gamecube. Playing (a) SNES/GBA MK, (b) N64 MK, and (c) GC MK, they've three very distinctive driving feels, but with MK8, I can pick it up and all the muscle memory is there despite not playing MK for 20 years (although I haven't tried 200cc yet). It's already a near-perfect kart game, so there's not much they can do to improve it.

How lucky that it even turned up in wonderpick at all, and then you pick ~~right~~ left. I only see 2-stars cards in wonderpick maybe once or twice a month.

 

Annoyed that I got a duplicate, but I didn't know these missions existed. I wonder if there are secret missions where you have to get two of the other shiny ex cards?

 

I was originally targeting Great Ball Rank 1 for the 50 hourglasses reward, but actually it's easier than I thought and I'll try for Ultra Ball Rank 1. I'm just using my Blaine deck, with a win rate of 51%, but I made it to Great Ball Rank 4 today.

I've noticed that if I'm struggling at a certain level, if I wait a day or two and try again, it feels much easier. Presumably the better players/decks are moving up to the better ranks and it's just the worse players like me who are left behind, making it easier to win games again.

 

I'm not sure of the maths, but chances would increase from 20% chance to get the card you want to ... 40%? It would be nice if it was for all wonder picks, but will have to wait for an official announcement to see how it's going to work.

 

Manually updated the app and it downloaded some data, probably related to the new set. Wonder pick has had a bit of a visual change as well. If you can't see the new set tomorrow, go and update it manually

 

I gave it a look because it's been in the news a bit and friends gave it the thumbs up. It's a bit heavy, but not overwhelmingly so, and I enjoyed it. I'm not sure I'd put it up there as a great bit of TV, but certainly the message about what kids have to go through these days is interesting.

 

Even with the caveats about limited data and untangling causation and correlation, the statistics are striking: the first year of a scheme in Wales where the speed limit on urban roads was lowered to 20mph resulted in about 100 fewer people killed or seriously injured.
