I’ve been jumping back into the second Pokemon Scarlet DLC! Trying to take on the E4 at Blueberry Academy and finding it extremely difficult despite playing Pokemon since Blue version came out. I’m accustomed to single battles and the double battles have caught me entirely off guard - I need to go back to the drawing board and focus my team around different mechanics!

Or just grind EXP candies and brute force it. We’ll see!

I suppose you have a solution and are aware of a candidate who can put that solution into action?

It was desperately needed, I’m stoked!

Ooooh big strong man is so angwy!

End of an era. Much love for Martinet and I’m happy Nintendo is still keeping him around in some sort of capacity! Hopefully this was mutual; him being in a video about it with Miyamoto feels like it probably was.

I haven’t picked up the game yet, but this would likely be my move too. I really like using my PC to play games, but apparently can’t be bothered to buy a decent desk chair. So couch it is!

The weirdest thing to me is this looks almost exactly like the Backbone PlayStation edition; if it’s going to simply be remote play on a local handheld, I don’t see why this is a product unless people just want potentially a bigger screen than their phone.

What’s the app that appears to be an Instagram replacement?

Unfortunately, the PlayStation One was discontinued by Sony in 2006, the same year they released the PlayStation 3. While a standard consumer could be recommended to simply upgrade to a more modern system like even the PlayStation 4, having PS1 consoles for feet may impact your ability to upgrade - especially if you’re located in the US where healthcare can be difficult to come by.

Maybe take a look at the PlayStation Classic Sony released a few years back. However, it’s important to note that it is a mini console, so the size will be smaller than what you’re used to and may not be as comfortable. They may work as a stop-gap while you scour eBay or other online markets for a quality refurbish job; maybe aim to find some released closer to the last run in 2006 for longevity purposes.

Good luck!

It’s so nice to see some subreddits sticking to their guns and ideals and push through until real change happens! r/Nintendo is still down too, which was a nice surprise when I was looking around to see the state of my subs on Reddit.
