No nothing's been announced. I'll probably just emulate them

I recently started Digimon Cyber Sleuth! I've never played a Digimon game before but this one has been fun so far. There definitely seems to be more of a push to constantly evolve your mons than Pokémon.

I've never played the Mario & Luigi RPG games, but this looks fun. The artstyle is really charming!

Ohhh looks beautiful! I hope it's good after all the delays. Reminds me, I need to play Prime 2 and 3...

The comments are where the real mildlyinteresting is 👌

Yeah the guy is dressed up like Leon with the leather flying jacket and haircut - it's a pretty iconic outfit

Yes you're right about having more time and better reflexes back then, but at the same time I feel like I pick up on cues and understand more what the developers intended for the player the older I've got. I remember playing the same levels over and over as a kid and eventually losing motivation to continue (this is somewhat balanced out by the fact that yes, I'd have more time, and also I didn't have as many games - so I had more incentive to keep playing one to completion). Whereas nowadays I've got more patience and I can work out 'oh I'm probably meant to go that way' based on my experience of playing lots of different games over the years. I've built up more of an intuition for these things.

That said, I'm not sure I could beat many NES games!

If I'd played it when I was younger, I don't think I'd have made it very far to be honest! I've probably got a bit more patience and experience nowadays, hence finishing it on Switch. But I'm in no rush to 100% the game unlike some other Mario games (which tend to actually be fun to complete).

That's fair, although I've always considered Galaxy to have a pretty good moveset. What was it missing compared to 64?

Odyssey gives you an insane level of movement, which I love. It's fun to just run around levels.

Lol! Do you just feel that 64 is a better game, or has better level design?

Oh that's interesting! Explains why I always had difficulty chasing down shadow Mario on Switch

I'll have to check if it's possible to use analog triggers with the SN30 Pro+ on Dolphin...

Oh god the pachinko machine... I salute you for 100%ing the game! Yeah Yoshi feels pretty pointless considering Mario has a more diverse moveset without him.

Graphically I still think it's pretty impressive - the heat shimmer and water in particular. Crazy considering when it was released.

Yes I definitely agree with that. I loved the variety of environments, and the animations felt ahead of their time for a game from 2002. Well worth completing. How long ago did you play it, out of interest?

Heh, funnily enough I did pretty well back in school. But it's been quite a while since I've learnt this stuff and it's not something I ever specialised in. And when I did learn it, it was essentially just a series of facts that you had to memorise. 'The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell' etc. etc. So the second I passed that exam, I don't think I ever went back to reinforce those memories.

Hearing about genetic dominance again did give me an 'ah, of course!' moment. If you are able to recall everything you learnt in school (including subjects that you may not have had much interest in), then congrats on the impressive memory :)

Ahh thanks, this is all coming back to me now! Despite being a pretty nerdy student, my biology teachers at school didn't instil much enthusiasm in me for the subject. But the more I learn about it now, the more fascinating I find it.

Do you have any more detail/links about incompatible genes causing mutations?

Oh that's actually really neat, I had no idea! But it makes a lot of sense

Oh :(

You're already (dead) :(
