Animal Crossing: Unhappy Fans. New adventure where u move in to a new town full of players who r unhappy w the game. Use the new codeforming mechanic to add features to the game to make ur villagers happy. Every two weeks, all villagers reset to being unhappy again.

Animal Crossing: Big Dumb Jerk Town. A new adventure where u have to build up ur town full of big dumb jerks who are real jerks to u but if u succeed u can win villagers over & they’re nice to u except for that one villager who is always just a jerk. This is what we really want.

@latttese Weirdly, I can’t think of anything other than ciggies & car rides that you can apply ‘bum’ to correctly. You can’t ‘bum’ some sugar or ask to bum a book. It has to be something street wise that marks you as a freeloader. I think maybe you can bum some spare change.

[Nigel Kidd @nintendkid]

@latttese I can go you one better. In Australia, ‘to bum a fag’ was slang for getting a cigarette off someone. ‘To bum’ in this context kind of means to borrow but more so that ur being a bum, mooching off someone else. You can also ask to bum a lift (a car ride).

@DeputyARUUU @MilliTakimlar Was nervously seeing my Aussies go through in 2nd place while watching ur Turkish lads on the 2nd screen. Fantastic play! Last goal in the dying moments was superb! Sad they get nothing for rolling the Yanks but well done. They did you proud!

[Nigel Kidd @nintendkid]

@DefaultDNB @N64Magazine Thank you very much for that. Has brought the biggest smile of the week to my face! Great stuff!

[Nigel Kidd @nintendkid]

@DefaultDNB @N64Magazine AHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I might have to have that on standby for tomorrow morning as we take on the Yanks. I'll have to add 'Australia' before the comments manually!

Is Fox McCloud a nepo-baby?

[Nigel Kidd @nintendkid]

@nypost That is not a cookie. It’s a biscuit. More properly, a ‘bikkie’, which is traditionally eaten with a ‘cuppa’.

[Nigel Kidd @nintendkid]

This is more a reflection of how intolerant we can be that the world exists beyond our narrow desires & things happen differently than how we'd like. TOTK is not exactly the game I wanted either but I am not the entire audience & my opinions do not matter more than others'.

[Nigel Kidd @nintendkid]

TOTK is a beloved game. BOTW is a beloved game. Sequels, spin offs etc don't ever tarnish anything. They just exist. TOTK existing has no impact on BOTW at all. U can simply not play TOTK if u like. If u don't want it to exist in ur pantheon, it won't. No problem. Carry on.

If Breath of the Wild had just been its own thing instead of getting milked for the next ten years, then it would have had an immaculate reputation amongst most Zelda fans. It's amazing how much just one bad sequel can tarnish a game's whole legacy.

[Nigel Kidd @nintendkid]

@Focusscience1 @Anthony_Bonato Hairsplitting is VERY relevant to kids. They do it constantly. Just add a simple qualifier: A prime number is any number that is divisible only by 1 & itself BUT not 1. This has advantage of prompting qs, discussion, thinking. Over a whole lesson or 2, easy & productive to learn.

[Nigel Kidd @nintendkid]

@Stealth40k FWIW, I 100% expect Ocarina of Time to be 2026. But the idea that Nintendo never gives a date unless it's locked and loaded just isn't correct.

[Nigel Kidd @nintendkid]

@Stealth40k Here is Aonuma's 2014 E3 video showing off a first look and game footage from what would be Breath of the Wild. The video ends with '2015'. Later, another video ended with Link on horseback and '2016'.

@SmashJT Are you aware that the rock band KISS actually stands for Knights In Satan’s Service? They are encouraging devil-worship & severely damaging our youth. This is intentional.

I will not be gaslit.

@AneurynPlays @sincespacies @The_Top_Loader @ColonelFalcon @VGMHero @SuperSisi @swooper_d @TwinzDynamic @superjude81 @american80s @MidlifeCrysis_ @DrTomTilley @HyruleIsEVIL @80s_retro56968 @TesseractUnfold @MrSushiHut @RetroToshi Maybe. But my iPhone SE2 from 2020 could already do 4K 60 video. I don't think it would have been too taxing to record 480p from the front & 1080p from the back, all in 30fps. I have to think a 2023 iPhone could've easily handled it if anyone had thought to make it a thing.

[Nigel Kidd @nintendkid]

@sincespacies @The_Top_Loader @ColonelFalcon @VGMHero @SuperSisi @swooper_d @TwinzDynamic @superjude81 @american80s @MidlifeCrysis_ @DrTomTilley @HyruleIsEVIL @80s_retro56968 @TesseractUnfold @MrSushiHut @AneurynPlays @RetroToshi I can't believe I never thought of the idea before I saw it being demoed! Seems such an obvious feature to add once you see it.

[Nigel Kidd @nintendkid]

Apple calls it dual camera recording.

[Nigel Kidd @nintendkid]

@Pirat_Nation What do you mean by ‘industry plant’?

[Nigel Kidd @nintendkid]

@ItsaMeCooper What a great idea!

[Nigel Kidd @nintendkid]

@Chris_Dring Switch 2 sales so far, outpacing Switch 1 launch, suggests more can afford it than you are suggesting. This is also surely the best changeover from a successful home platform to a new one ever for Nintendo. But also, many need to see more before spending so much cash. Lost gen?

[Nigel Kidd @nintendkid]

@Chris_Dring "The problem is whether they will buy it at all at this price."
"It’s not about whether it’s worth it or not. ... Doesn’t matter how much you want it if you can’t afford it."
"I didn't say no one could ... afford it. Some people can."

How many is 'some'?
