    The 2024 Us Presidential Election Thread

    That all does make sense, though not relevant for my voting this term. I'll give it another look in the future.

    The 2024 Us Presidential Election Thread

    I was waiting in line when the polls opened. Since I’m new to the area, I just voted my party line and abstained from all ballot questions except for the Maine state flag redesign and all unopposed races where the candidate was of the opposing party. This was my first experience with ranked...

    The Pet thread

    Xander died tonight at 3 years old of an undetected heart issue. I’d post a photo but the site isn’t letting me.

    Gotta Catch 'Em All! - Pokémon Thread

    Brilliant Diamond was definitely the right call. The two kids and I are loving it. I think it was a good idea sticking to what they remembered from the 3DS in terms of gameplay style. Once we complete Brilliant Diamond, we will move on to Legends Arceus with all the gameplay changes.

    Gotta Catch 'Em All! - Pokémon Thread

    We do have that. Purely for the NES, SNES and Gameboy libraries for me. Edit: Damn, that makes me sound old. It’s almost like I just got reading glasses and turn 45 in a few days…

    Gotta Catch 'Em All! - Pokémon Thread

    He is looking for in-game battling with NPC characters, the whole gym system and that jazz. He also wants only blind random wild encounters like he had on his old DS and 3DS. Looks like it’s going to be Brilliant Diamond. Oh well, I never played that generation (or any after gen 1), so it will...

    Gotta Catch 'Em All! - Pokémon Thread

    I ended up getting Arceus as I want to catch more than I want to battle and all the changes seemed pretty good to me. I haven’t opened it, but my stepson isn’t pleased as he was hoping to play as well and wanted to battle. I may end up grabbing either Brilliant Diamond or Let’s Go Pikachu for him.

    Gotta Catch 'Em All! - Pokémon Thread

    I'd like to pick up a Pokemon game for my Switch. The last Pokemon game I had was Yellow, for my Game Boy Pocket. I also had Blue. Which Switch Pokemon game should I pick up? My local stores have Sword, Scarlet, Violet, Brilliant Diamond, Legends Arceus, Let's Go, Eevee, and Let's Go, Pikachu...

    Star Trek General Discussion

    Has anything else ever been said about "Star Trek: Legacy," or was it always just wishful thinking? I really want it.

    Aurora Borealis!? At this time of year!?

    Living in the middle of the woods in Maine with a large clearing facing north in my backyard has its advantages. Anyone else get a good view?

    Atlantic Hurricane Season: Milton Edition

    My folks in Bradenton had some property damage, but everyone is ok. The house is overall ok; they just won't be able to use their back porch until repairs are made.

    G.I. Joe thread - 09/13/2024: Pulsecon - Dreadnoks, Dogs and Cereal

    My local Target put out the new Super7 ReAction+ o-ring figures sometime in the past day or two. I grabbed Cobra Commander. I was tempted by the BAT, but I’d prefer cartoon colors. Guessing that will come later.

    Transformers: One - New Animated Prequel coming September 20th, 2024 - New Toy Official Images!

    It's sad that Paramount isn't likely to try anything like One again. I half expect the franchise to go into hibernation after TF vs GI Joe (if that doesn't end up in Development Hell thanks to One's performance).

    The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    Why do people hate on Paper Mario: The Origami King? I absolutely love the game (got it used at GameStop for $30; it looked like it was played once and traded in) and the combat system. I have been playing it interchangeably with Thousand Year Door. I haven't opened Echoes of Wisdom yet. I have...

    The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    Pro controller was an immediate purchase when I got the OLED. Has anyone else experienced a weird uncanny valley feeling when playing the Mario RPG remake? I couldn’t shake it and it made me hate playing. I ended up trading it in yesterday towards my Echoes of Wisdom preorder. I experienced no...

    The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    Update: A local game store was offering $100 off a Switch OLED with the trade in of a Switch Lite so I bit on it. I figured it would be best to not have a neutered Switch. Now I can enjoy games that require other modes besides handheld. That being said, that OLED screen in handheld mode is very...

    Transformers: One - New Animated Prequel coming September 20th, 2024 - New Toy Official Images!

    My wife and I saw it last night. Absolutely amazing. Not perfect if you pick it apart, but nothing ever is. One is my favorite TF movie now aside from ‘86. Fantastic job done by all involved.

    The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    I see a few of you recommending Odyssey. If I absolutely hated 64, Sunshine and the 2 Galaxy games, is there anything in the structure of Odyssey that’s different? I like the linear paths of 3D World (and Land) and how you don’t keep replaying the same level with different goals. Is Odyssey...

    The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    I ended up with a $75 brand new Switch Lite (coworker bought it for his kid for Christmas 2022 but hid it too well and had to buy another to give him) so I decided to get a bunch of pick up and play games for it. Since I’m a temporary single parent of two kids (through the end of the year) with...
