@bimbohypno it's bullshit that train/plane tickets go up in cost the closer it is to the travel date
literally nothing about the journey is different, no changes in staffing costs or anything like that, they just know people will be more desperate on shorter notice so they charge more
@mariotwtconfess damn dude yeah and the next 3D Mario should be nothing but returning levels from past 3D Marios! nothing new, just nostalgia! ๐
Nintendo really messed up by being over-the-top cautious instead of relying entirely on nostalgia, which is definitely the opposite of playing it safe
@StarFoxTeamLead I love having the somersault & u-turn on the D-pad, it's a worthwhile remake just for that imo
also, did anyone else remap the break to ZL and the boost to ZR? helps a ton in the challenge mode since you don't need to take your thumb off of shoot to break/boost
@BrambleSnap@ChoPikmin@adrparkinson@TheDimmeh I vaguely remember images where the official Slitheen costumes used on the shows had been decaying after so long in storage so I'm not sure
but surely it wouldn't be too hard to make new ones, given they must have the original design documents ๐ค
@BrambleSnap@ChoPikmin@adrparkinson@TheDimmeh plus mentions by Rose in School Reunion and Love & Monsters, and then by 10 at the start of Utopia, appearance at the bar in finale of End of Time, an image in Time Heist, mentioned by 13 in Battle of Ranskoor...
lots of mentions/cameos! but no proper returns in DW :(
@BrambleSnap@ChoPikmin@adrparkinson@TheDimmeh to great effect, yeah! which makes it even stupider that they never got brought back in the main show for like 20+ years
also weird 'cause they get mentioned at least once a season 'til like S10 I think?
@ChoPikmin@adrparkinson@TheDimmeh it's crazy how underused they are after Series 1
they're a crime family! having stories where the villain is an alien mafia would be such a breath of fresh air after all the millions of alien armies and world-ending threats
plus they can disguise as humans!
@Mr_Prosthetics it's a shame 'cause its style of world-spanning exploration would have been incredible as OPTIONAL content (maybe for a secret ending?)
I really think BotW and TotK would have benefited big time from having their own optional Triforce quests to push the exploration more
@NicolasGravelQC I've always wanted a SM64 mod that expands around the edges of the existing areas as realistically as possible
an above-ground for HMC, being able to enter the fortress in WF as a sub-area, a bunker sub-area for BB, more floors of TTC...
@Mr_Prosthetics agree 100%, it's something no other game has been able to capture imo
other great examples are Cremia knowing she has to protect Romani in some way and Anju + Kafei choosing to spend their last moments together, the variety does wonders for characterization
@Nyristar@twistedtardis rumour has always been that he just didn't like how the crew was being treated on-set
...but if there were a near-accident incident ala Aldred almost drowning, I wonder which scene in S1 would be the culprit ๐ค
@SaferMii y'ever wonder about Saria's fairy? who were they? did they die (allegedly) when Saria died (allegedly) to become a Sage? did Navi know them? it's kinda odd that we never learn anything about (or speak to!!) the other Kokiri fairies in OoT
something for the remake to try, maybe
@Akuago220 the issue is that aiming in non-cockpit mode in SFZ is jank and not accurate cause they want you to use cockpit mode for it
an option would likely not have fixed that, since Nintendo pushed the mechanic really hard at the time... but a Switch/Switch 2 port absolutely would have
@Qui_Quae_Quod42 the Sontarans use a Cordolaine signal to block gunfire in S4 but the Doctor never thinks to make his own?? surely the TARDIS could emit that sorta signal
the very next story ends with Jenny getting shot by a gun so that should be even more reason for the Doctor to start using it
@chuggaaconroy battling is still pointless & the Things still suck but the writing more than makes up for it, a massive step up from Sicker Star imo
