I'm a firm believer that opinions can absolutely be wrong, and the statement "It's just my opinion" is in only copium. That being said, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is probably the greatest game that will come out this decade, it will be GOTY this year, with the runner-up being Silksong, and even that will be leagues ahead of anything else that will be nominated. If you disagree, you're just wrong.

What's honestly funny about this long winded discussion is that LoZ TotK is the nuts and bolts of Zelda.
But it worked for the series because it complimented instead of overriding the core gameplay.
The fact federation force was brought up was an interesting tidbit, because it was never meant to be a metroid title. It was just called Blastball before the last-minute IP change.
Which resulted in the game getting expanded beyond the blastball mode.

there was no genre change because due to either system limitations or wanting to be consistent, they limited vehicle building to an incredibly insignificant sideshow
Only a couple puzzles used it, and if you were committed you could probably complete the entire main game without placing a single zonai device, possibly without even using ones already lying around
it's not even an "at its core"

Whatta mean
glad needle
Didn’t we all learn for 20-30 years not to mix water with electronics?
Water kills electronics
novel sun
In theory it makes sense. Water is one of the best absorbers of heat. Also I'm pretty sure water cooled PCs (1) use distilled water, which means build up of unwanted microscopic materials is less likely, and (2) the electronics aren't actually making contact with the water, instead its some kind of heat sink that is simply built into the water loop instead of to a fan
full mountain
Didn’t we all learn for 20-30 years not to mix water with electronics?
True but water is also a hella good conductor of heat, which is why water cooling makes alot of sense. the All-In-One design has made water cooling (at least the CPU) pretty easy and painless
glad needle
You gotta have the best leak protection money can buy
full mountain
You gotta have the best leak protection money can buy
If you're going for just cooling your CPU, all ya need is a AIO kit that's decent quality, which almost all modern mid range AIOs are
glad needle
Yea, Ive never had the nerve or money to even consider water cooling
teal iron
Water is actually an extremely poor conductor, and pure distilled water just does not conduct electricity
glad needle
I barely afforded my $1500 discount gaming PC
teal iron
The reason water conducts electricity is because it usually has things dissolved in it. Salt, for example, makes it a pretty good conductor
Sugar too
However, water is amazing at conducting thermal energy, far better than air
The searing heat of a processor quite readily jumps into a tube of flowing water, which can then dump it into a radiator into the air over a much larger area, and it can do this with a completely sealed system that never has any fluid or solid enter or exit the stream for its entire operational life
Really the main problem is that it's completely overkill for most systems
glad needle
The searing heat of a processor quite readily jumps into a tube of flowing water...
Except when it leaks
teal iron
it doesn't.
there's no valves or seals or openings that can decay and leak
A space shuttle is going to lose air to outer space faster than a liquid cooling system is going to leak liquid onto the system
and if it gets damaged, well, I can't imagine anything that would damage ONLY the cooling system and not physically damage other components with the direct damage
Water is actually important to electronics
They build up static charge that can discharge and fry the system, but water vapor swipes that static charge before it can build up. Servers are intentionally kept in slightly humid environments for this reason
and if you're going to service electronics, you should do it during summer months when the air is wetter
it reduces the possibility that you or your computer has a residual static charge that will fry it while you're working
glad needle
Again, we learned for 20-30 years not to mix water and electronics
teal iron
I mean, if you're servicing electronics you should have a lot more things protecting against static discharge than water vapor, but as long as it isn't at a concentration that it falls out of solution and condenses as a liquid, water vapor will further reduce the risks
Source: i am partially certified to service electronics.
You're not mixing water and electronics, you're using water as part of a cooling system, something that has been tried and tested for hundreds of years
The two items are quite separated
I mean, there are definitely worse things to put physically near each other, like hypergolic rocket fuels

Nintendo and The Pokémon Company received a U.S. patent on summoning a character and letting it fight another
Nintendo has recently acquired a new patent for summoning a character and letting it fight another, as its Palworld lawsuit continues.
During this Nintendo v Palworld lawsuit, we have seen the former acquire and modify several patents. In July 2025, one of its patent claims regarding smooth switching between flying and riding objects was modified. Nintendo had also acquired two more anti-Palworld patents a few months before this.
—- Nintendo’s New Patent Could Impact Every Game that Features Summoning Characters and Letting Them Fight Each Other
Spotted by GameRant, Games Fray’s new report reveals that Nintendo now owns U.S. Patent No. 12,409,387, which is related to “smooth switching or riding objects.” Additionally, a week ago, Nintendo was granted U.S. Patent No. 12,403,397, which is related to summoning characters and allowing them to engage in combat against one another. The first patent could impact Pocketpair if they win the lawsuit against Nintendo in Japan and want to revert to their previous smooth switching of the riding feature, as the patent would be in effect in the United States.
The company was able to acquire it without any hiccups. It was applied for in March 2023, granted in July 2025, and issued last week. The new patent that Nintendo has acquired could pose a problem not only for Palworld but also for any other game that features or will feature character summons that fight each other. Nintendo’s new patent comprises six claims; check them out below:
-
The first one states that there should be a PC, console, or any other computing device for the game to run on.
-
Secondly, players should be able to move a character in a virtual space.
-
The subsequent claim states that the first character should be able to summon a sub-character, similar to how Pokémon are summoned.
zenith canyon
I might as well buy the game now, since I feel like it might get unlisted on steam. (Was saving for pvz remark but this seems dire)
strange garden
-
The fourth claim talks about summoning this sub-character in a space where there is another character, and they are instructed to fight.
-
The fifth claim describes a different scenario in which the player can summon a sub-character in a space with no enemy characters to fight.
-
The final claim talks about an automatic battle being triggered when the sub-character walks in the direction of another character

Patents can be a great thing. If you created something entirely new, the patent would allow you to earn from your creation without others taking it as their own.
The issue comes about with how they are being used in many applications and legal loopholes that are being allowed.

Cosmic Soldier (1985): In this Japanese-developed game, players could recruit alien creatures to join their party and command them in battle, which was a very early take on the monster-taming niche.
Chaos: The Battle of Wizards (1985): In this turn-based strategy game for the ZX Spectrum, wizards summon creatures and cast spells to defeat each other. The summoned monsters are the primary units used in combat.
Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei (1987): The origin of the popular Shin Megami Tensei series, this Japanese RPG allowed players to entice demons and other mythological creatures to join their party and fight alongside them.
Wizardry IV: The Return of Werdna (1987): This installment in the Wizardry series, a seminal computer RPG franchise, introduced a system that allowed the player to summon monsters to join their party.
Dragon Quest V (1992): The fifth entry in the Dragon Quest series pioneered monster recruiting and training mechanics that would later influence more popular monster-collecting RPGs, such as Pokémon.
here is a couple games that did it before nintendo did. so pocketpair can potentially use this to battle nintendo's bogus patent.

Kids built Lego stuff. They can build a Labo. If they need help, they ask for help.

if this occurs you have an opportunity to teach your kid patience and to do an activity with them. That will build great memories with your kid.

Nintendo:

- Starts overpricing their low-quality (read: easy-to-break and also previous-gen oomph) products.
What makes it works is that Nintendo is using USB-C for their dock, but they use extra "vendor-specific messages" to block out "unofficial products" even though they would work just fine.

Actually, the Switch 2 is extremely durable
There's an extremely painful to watch video of someone keying their own Switch 2 screen and it was still functioning correctly. It also didn't get scratched by plastic legos

New apple stuff is pretty good but severely limited by lack of GPU options.
If they put an RTX 5090 in the newest Mac Pro it might actually be worth whatever price they put on it.

I doubt there's a permanent anything. Stuff will eventually get old and break. The issue is that it shouldn't break within like the first 2 years or so.
