LOL, come on. Discord didn’t walk back anything. The announcement page is literally titled “Discord Launches Teen-by-Default Settings Globally”.

TalkBack / Re: Other Switch Family Announcements From The Sony State Of Play

Hopefully they've either implemented a dodge roll into Mina (the footage at the State of Play seemed to indicate there might be one) or shortened the dive process, because the previous demo showed the game desperately needed Mina to have more mobility.

Belmont's Curse was IMO one of the few games at that State of Play that looked worth a damn. I'm still hoping to get collections of the Lord of Shadows & N64/PS2 games, but I'll take a new game.

I’ve already seen two recent posts about this so it should be noted that Discord isn’t “requiring facial scans or ID to use”.

Yeah, they pretty quickly walked back their original statement after it was clear to just about everyone that it was going to lead to the end of Discord.

You’re simply locked into “Teen-by-default” settings which means no NSFW servers. It’s been a while since I accepted the invite to Nintendo World Report’s Discord server, but I don’t believe it’s marked NSFW. So if you’re hoping this announcement will spur more forum activity, I have bad news.

I’m not especially active on Discord, NWR or otherwise. I kind of get this because [gestures broadly at everything], but it’s still kind of balderdash even if I’m in the pool of users who “ can continue using Discord exactly as they do today”. I only ever clicked on one invite that asked for an ID, and I nope’d out of it. I work in IT; I’m not giving Discord real PII especially after it got hacked last year. GTFO, Discord.

Anyway, how’s everyone doing?



Yeah…

The Tokyo Scramble segment was *chef’s kiss*. My interest in the game would have been higher if they had gone with that music in the Direct.

As someone who was listening and not watching the Stream, I was a bit surprised to see the Kyoto Xanadu dungeon exploration- I suppose it differentiates it more from the other Falcom series, but I find the 2D Metroidvania decision surprising.

NWR Forums ID Verification / Re: My posting times

I can’t remember if I ever got **** like this about my posts, which were pretty hostile and inflammatory back in the day. But, I probably can’t remember because I was too drunk at the time where such critique would have been beneficial.

Movies & TV / Re: Rate the last TV show you've seen

I guess I'm gonna be that loser and talk about Fallout.

So Season 2 was kind of a mess. Plot and pacing-wise it just felt sort of all over the place, from Lucy's "I'm addicted to drugs!" episode to "let's have an episode where the Ghoul is impaled on a lamp post." There was plenty of weird b-plots, also, what with Norm's odd expedition that felt like it went nowhere, to that witch doctor getting reintroduced just to have his brain wiped by Hank, and the show's insistence to keep its dual-plotline structure when half the flashbacks felt like an excuse to pad the paychecks for Goggins and Theroux, who is charming but speaks in vapid absolutes.

Whereas Season 1 felt like this wildly fresh and brisk introduction to this world, so much of this season felt like "here's where we introduce one thing so that it can be relevant later in this season (or more insultingly, this episode)." and it just made me realize how much I adored YELLOWJACKETS SEASONS 1-2 and less so season 3, BABY.

I spent a snowed-in weekend catching up on that series, and I quite enjoyed it, mostly because it does a very good job of projecting horror and supernatural spookiness but really just being about people doing terrible and redemptive things. The show really is about the horrific nature of perspective, as even the opening sequence from the pilot is completely (albeit somewhat sloppily) recontextualized by the end of the third season. The first and second season are much more tightly plotted, though the show starts to go off the rails by the end of the second season and through much of the third season, which feels much more meandering and ambiguous. If anything, it makes me want to watch more horror television- not like, overly serialized stuff like American Horror Story, tightly plotted stuff like Midnight Mass. I've already watched quite a bit of the Flanaverse, but I would be curious to explore more.

Yellowjackets has also made me pine for The X-Files. I think I might try to watch more of that.

TalkBack / Re: Super Bomberman Collection (Switch) Review

« Last post by Mop it up on February 10, 2026, 11:44:18 AM »

Kept wondering (and hoping) that Super Bomberman 2 might show up on the SNES Online app with 4-player online multiplayer one day.

The NSO SNES app does not support more than 2 players, so it's probably better that these games released in a collection instead.

Hey, I’m still here! I’ve been plotting a thread for a bit that I think will generate some replies. I’ve also been a bit busy, which is the reason I sloped off during the weekend.

Can I get an Evan_Bee_2?
