For me, way too much being put behind a paywall. And not just big events. I get a real world event like the Go Fests should be, I even was going to go to one but Covid stopped it. But it got to the point where it seemed every in game event started to have a paywalled part to it. They started putting Pokemon behind them too and community days started to have them too. Was just too much.

431·11 days agoPokémon Go. Those first few weeks and months were nothing like anyone could have imagined from a mobile game. People were outside and enjoying a game with other people. I remember seeing videos of people all running because a rare Pokemon had spawned somewhere and everyone was helping each other to get to it.
The game itself was a simple affair anyone and everyone could play with no paywalls or subscriptions. Now it’s just paywalled events, Pokemon locked behind those events and it’s just a slog to play now.
I’m glad I got to be a part of those early days.

4·12 days agoI’m not a big football fan but if I remember correctly the year before they were promoted to the premiership and I’m guessing those were their odds of winning the league that year. Which but some amazing feat they did. Still an amazing accomplishment in English football for a newly promoted team to win the top flight league.

4·6 months agoStrikers and Charged (on the Wii) are much better games. And I think that just comes down to there being a bit more single player stuff in these. The Switch one was mainly focused on online matches. I had some fun with it and got some great games in with friends but I remember having more fun with the others. The new one could benefit from Switch 2’s Game Chat feature though as you could play 2v2 with friends making it easier to communicate when playing.

81·9 months agoJust done a reread of these and would gladly reread again.
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (all 5 books in the series)
They are short enough that you could easily read all of them in a couple months at a steady pace.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are your favorite items in smash bros, and how do you usually use them?English
4·10 months agoAs a weekly player with friends, bees and cuccos are pretty fun when they show up. My favourite though is definitely the Home Run bat. So satisfying to hit each player with it.
Happened at Elimination Chamber so he could go after the WWE title at WrestleMania. He turned back face for Summerslam rematch and to finish the year out.
