[gloomy shuttle]

For now, I got Pingwin. So I'm good

But I do hope the Bear comes sooner than later as I know you've wanted it to happen.

Also, curious to see how Kingston will look with the Super Styles.

[tall forge]

Yes

[gloomy shuttle]

I hope the color choices are good at least.

[ornate zinc]

So what are you hoping for the next season, link

[tall forge]

For concept skins or a season?

[ornate zinc]

Concept

[gloomy shuttle]

Concept skins

[tall forge]

Well the chicken for sure lol

[gloomy shuttle]

I don't know any June skin that caught my eye there really.

I guess the Seal skin would be neat?

[tall forge]

The squirrel one would fit for spring

[gloomy shuttle]

The Squirrel or Chicken both feel like they're destined to be in the Battle Pass.

Especially if the season's theme is Norse Mythology inspired

[tall forge]

Is that what it’s leaked to be?

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah.

The speculation is based on the skin themes that it's Norse Mythology themed.

[tall forge]

Well that season will definitely not interest me

Just like Greek mythology

[ornate zinc]

it come with a skin that look like dire

this time with a tail

[tall forge]

If only

[gloomy shuttle]

The new POI's in C5S2 are probably the highlight of that season

And some of the original skins were alright.

[ornate zinc]

when chapter 5 reload map

[tall forge]

Yesint

[ornate zinc]

hate how we got a chapter 7 reload map

[tall forge]

That one blitz map reminds me of chapter 5

[gloomy shuttle]

And the gliders in the C5S2 are really good imo.

[ornate zinc]

minus cerberus

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah, the Ceberus one was meh.

[tall forge]

Trying to figure out what todo

[slender igloo]

lfg 4th, non-serious, add me

[pure plinth]

Looking for people to play with? Check out ⁠#squads-lfg or ⁠#customs-lfg and be sure to check out #how-to-lfg to learn how to use the VC bot! Please keep LFG requests in these channels only.

[gloomy shuttle]

But otherwise, I felt C5S2 was a little meh for my taste. But not bad per say.

[tall forge]

Chapter 5 started strong and got worse as time progressed

[gloomy shuttle]

Exactly.

[tall forge]

Looking back season 3 was pretty good but not as good as season 1

[gloomy shuttle]

Season 3 was fun, but did get a little tiring after awhile.

[ornate zinc]

i'm bored, anyway the oot bosses were too hard for me

[tall forge]

Cars were sorta annoying but not as bad as I expected

[tall forge]

Had to pull out the gamer move

[gloomy shuttle]

The vehicle chaos was fun for a few weeks, but yeah it got a little boring overtime.

I did love them Nitro Fists tho

Chapter 6 was slightly better than 5, but that had it's varying issues.

The Star Wars mini season was easily the weakest/worst one.

[tall forge]

Yup

Man using blasters with infinite ammo was so fun

[ornate zinc]

ikr

[gloomy shuttle]

Season 4 would probably be my second least favorite of that season, cuz it kinda felt a bit of nothing and the bugs got a bit much.

[tall forge]

I might play festival or rock band idk

[gloomy shuttle]

The Battle Pass itself was also just "fine", but didn't really have any standouts for me. And I'm not much of a Power Rangers guy, so the pick wasn't my thing.

But happy for those who wanted it.

[ornate zinc]

I’m genuinely surprised it took this long to get MM masks to work on OOT

Wasn’t done until this year of yesterday

[tall forge]

I could play binding of Isaac I have like I think 5 or 4 characters left

[ornate zinc]

Honestly i would just put skins mods and music mods for the last characters to grind

[tall forge]

Idk what side achievements I have left

[wild shale]

chicken o'cluck

[hollow willow]

I got Kit cat, I named it Kit 🙂

[wild shale]

same

[tall forge]

Nice quickly did the it’s the key achievement and zip in binding of Isaac

I still sorta want to get kit

For it’s the key I was the lost and first curse room gave a guppy item I picked it up and rerolled it to get another guppy item and rerolled it again to get a good item I forgot then first devil deal was just red chest and then I got a third guppy item

[gloomy shuttle]

Sidekicks are gonna be a hard sell for me especially with how much they're asking in the price.

I would only wanna buy it if it was one I'd really want it so badly.

But they're just like the same issue with Kicks, too pricey for what feels relatively minor to use.

Sure, I've bought Jam Tracks. But at least it has it's uses and aren't above the thousands range.

[tall forge]

Jam tracks take priority for me

I have more content to play

[gloomy shuttle]

Otherwise, I mainly just get skins, emotes, occasionally a pickaxe/backbling if it strikes me fancy. And Jam Tracks.

[gloomy shuttle]

Exactly, as well as the fact I love the whole DJ thing you can do within other modes which makes it feel worth getting in the long run for me.

Especially with friends.

I do love the concept of Sidekicks in theory tho, but I wish they we're a little more cheaper and allowed to freely customize our sidekicks than just a one-time thing.

[limpid reef]

sidekicks have like objectively more value but id honestly be more inclined to get kicks i see nothing in em

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah, but not like the price of a Collab skin tho..

1,200-1,800 is really asking a lot

[limpid reef]

no i just. have zero interest in sidekicks honestly

[gloomy shuttle]

I don't either.

But if they're gonna introduce a new cosmetic type, they need ways to be rewarded in other places.

Like in Battle Passes for instance.

[lapis arch]

I managed to find some more pokemon cards!1!!1!!

[limpid reef]

is there not one in this pass? thats funny actually

[gloomy shuttle]

Nah, no Sidekick in the BP.

[lapis arch]

Sidekicks are cool i wish they werent so dumbly priced 💔

[gloomy shuttle]

We do have Kicks in this season's BP tho.

[lapis arch]

At least get rid of the one time customization thing

[gloomy shuttle]

I would be okay with Sidekicks & Kicks in the Battle Passes over the 2D Emojis that I've barely used.

Beyond that one backbling.

[normal eagle]

tried playing fortnite but i had weird stutters for some reason

[cunning wren]

could be its doing the shaders or it's your pc? whats your pc specs/

[normal eagle]

im on xbox

so...

[cunning wren]

Oh didn't realize

Xbox One or one of the newest ones?

[normal eagle]

series s

[cunning wren]

Huh should run fine honestly.

[ornate zinc]

It been doing that on console recently

[cunning wren]

oh there ya go ☝🏻

[ornate zinc]

Basically wait until the 9th

[hazy rune]

That’s a good console so it shouldn’t.

I also would see gaming go fully digital or have it like a catalog.

Since physical media is not really being bought anymore. That’s the reason this generation we got digital only consoles because they’re trying to eventually just stop physical media entirely.

I can’t remember the last time i remember seeing pc rom games available.

[gloomy shuttle]

Thought the update was on the 8th?

Because the Passes state they'll drop on the 8th.

[limpid reef]

the reason we got digital consoles is for money primarily

if they make a digital sale they dont have to give a cut to stores

digital consoles are basically just a con anyway because a lot of games are cheaper physically

sigh who needs to preserve art! lets just buy everything online im gonna eat the ps5 digital edition

although i suppose the internet is pretty good about that

[ornate zinc]

Tbf steam is technically the same way
Tho i guess if valve had to sent physical copies it would make the whole process worse to handle

[limpid reef]

most pcs these days dont even have a disc slot to my understanding

plus pcs have more options

outside of like. yknow piracy if it comes to that you could buy the game from the publisher directly instead of on steam and not really have anything change

whereas if you wanna play a wii game you kind of need to have a wii (or wii u) because playing those games with a modern controller is inherently different if not outright worse

its less like that now but modern console games are generally made to be played with those controllers

if the wii was digital only wed be screwed LMAO

[wild shale]

you can just put the disc anywhere inside the pc and it should be fine

[lament basin]

Hi!

[turbid sun]

ps5 disc edition clears anyways

[tall forge]

I like having stuff online cause it’s more convenient but at the same time sometimes game get delisted from online stores and you can at least play it physically if that’s the case

Or if it’s an older game play it with your totally real console and definitely not emulate

[charred axle]

Pretty Sure in Most (If Not All) Cases, if a Digial Game that You Purchased Gets Delisted, You Still Have Access to the License and Can Always Redownload the Game in the Redownloads Section of the Platform's Store

For Example, I Can Still Download Smash 64 for the Wii Virtual Console since I Bought it before the Wii Shop Channel Shut Down

[ornate zinc]

There some cases where if it gets delisted it just completely gone, but it extremely rare for it to happen

[tall forge]

But I mean if it gets delisted and you don’t own it

[charred axle]

Yeah, I Know There've been Some Cases Here and There where they Revoke Your License (I Think there was a Very Recent Case with Playstation) which is Why I Said Most

[tall forge]

You can at least see and most likely get a physical version of the game

[ornate zinc]

P.T demo got delisted and they remove it from users owning it

[tall forge]

I actually still have it I believe

[ornate zinc]

It was the first time PlayStation had to do that

[ornate zinc]

Downloaded?

[tall forge]

Though I think you can only play it on a ps4

[tall forge]

I don’t have it downloaded

[ornate zinc]

You can’t redownload it overall

[tall forge]

Really?

Too lazy to boot up my ps4 to check

Majority of the games in my library I’ve never played but have cause of ps+

[ornate zinc]

This what would normally happen

[tall forge]

No idea why over watch 2 is there

[tall forge]

Wack

[ornate zinc]

Weird how capcom just pulled the whole thing existence

[tall forge]

Soup

[normal eagle]

dude behavior genuinely need to do something about the giving up epidemic going on with survivors 😭

had a cheryl with a build focused on finishing gens as fast as possible, she gets downed first and decides to hide in a locker for the rest of the game

[ornate zinc]

Neat i got the color bars wrap

[hazy rune]

Does the squad up quests end soon?

[ornate zinc]

yes

[tall forge]

Soup

[hazy rune]

Isn’t the pickaxe the only reward i think milestones are just for xp

[ornate zinc]

Yes

[hazy rune]

I have like 40 left to get im just in blitz

[ornate zinc]

you still have map mystery to do

[hazy rune]

It’s 12am i think i did enough for today.

[hazy rune]

We have all season to do that i think?

[ornate zinc]

you have to get 12 quests done

[hazy rune]

Im on get top 10 in each map 10 times

[ornate zinc]

30 kills, 10 top 10, 50 kills, and 2 wins in that order in all 3 maps

[hazy rune]

Wait what if i just get knocked on purpose so i dont have to play so i can just do squad up pickaxe by doing nothing

[hazy rune]

That’s not even that bad i think?

[ornate zinc]

you also have 3 ranks quests for br, reload, and rr

[hazy rune]

I don’t really want to do that imo

I got gold in reload and br

Do people not voice chat on Xbox anymore? Thought I would be in for more of a community aspect to this game especially when playing squads.

I’m butt at it so far but figured I would ask.

[tall forge]

[normal eagle]

i dont have that kind of money

[normal eagle]

[lapis arch]

Hi im right here

[ornate zinc]

Peak

[normal eagle]

tried getting a refund, xbox denied it

[ornate zinc]

What is xbox refund policy anyway

[normal eagle]

They denied me cuz I played it atleast once

Atleast that's what the website told me

[ornate zinc]

Damn restaurant refund rules

[normal eagle]

yea

[gloomy shuttle]

4-5 more days til the next update.

We'll probably see the weekly Shop rotation stuff in 3 days towards any new original or collaboration "skins/sidekicks/cars/etc."

The 8th/9th is probably gonna be a relatively soft update I bet, then the next update being that whole "event" with South Park.

[royal otter]

anyone have stentrics discord link?

i cannot find it anywhere

[ornate zinc]

Wonder how they’re gonna handle it with the whole show you know involving cursing

[normal stag]

he has it in his yt description

mb he doesn't

[normal stag]

how do I chat in some chats like pets?

[charred axle]

#pets Requires the Active Role, which You can Earn by Being Active in the Server

[normal stag]

kk ty I just joined

[charred axle]

[plush harness]

Poopoo

[gloomy shuttle]

Whatever cosmetics that aren't really as vulgar or hard on with certain mature rated elements like swearing and such.

Like Cartman's backbling would definitely be something like a box of Cheesy Poofs.

And a "Lil' School Bus" where you just ride on top of a miniature South Park School bus when the theme song plays in a loop

The 8th/9th update I'm betting will be where they added the Amazon Prime's Fallout Collab as that "feels" about the right time they'd do it.

[royal otter]

ooooo i really want a kenny skin

[gloomy shuttle]

All four are rumored to happen with them in mechs.

I would also want Kenny too, but I'd rather he'd be in the event pass over potentially Cartman.

But realistically, it's likely gonna be Cartman as the event pass character.

[ornate zinc]

This gotta be one of the worst wrap

[limpid reef]

that looks kinda fun

you could do way worse definitely

[gloomy shuttle]

I haven't finished the Reload missions yet.

I might do so when the next update drops.

And also renew my Crew membership

[ornate zinc]

This is the reward for reaching rank champion

You know the rewards for playing reload in all 3 maps with quests are
TV Bars wrap

[limpid reef]

interesting for a challenge like that

i do like the way it looks even if its. stupid

[gloomy shuttle]

I also need to do the Ranked thing and get the Contrail

For now, I just wanna unwind from Fortnite until the next update.

[ornate zinc]

Here a better look

[gloomy shuttle]

I do like the Color Bars wrap

The only annoying thing for me with the Reload missions is needing two wins.

I'd need to be lucky with a whole squad.

[ornate zinc]

I still need kills and 2 wins on the grass land

But i’m saving that for regular reload than rank

[gloomy shuttle]

I only need the 2 wins for all maps

I got the kills done.

I grinded at least to that point cuz I do kinda want that emote eventually.

But getting wins will be tough as I've been quite rusty on my BR play at times.

[ornate zinc]

Honestly what hard is that each map is only in rotation for 20 minutes before being rotated out
So you’ll have to wait 40 minutes for a specific map to come back

[wild shale]

can i have a worse look

[wild shale]

cheers

[tall forge]

Dang it’s raining hard rn

[lapis arch]

Which one fits better
Bean or carp

[ornate zinc]

Side view

Basically which is closer to the back

[lapis arch]

I think the bean is closer?

I did refund the carp because i want to think what else should i get before it leaves the shop on the 10th

[tall forge]

Easy the kitsune pet back bling

[tall forge]

At 5k v bucks

[ornate zinc]

Overrated

[tall forge]

[hazy rune]

Got the squad up pickaxe right before it ended

So are we keeping snow map for 4 days for br?

[ornate zinc]

No, they’re vaulting the entire BR map until the next update /s
what do you think

Aka no duh, the entire BR map takes a huge chunk of the game

Why have 2 stored in the game update

[hazy rune]

Yeah but idk why they can’t just revert to what it was before

It’s a simple fix but nothing to complain about

Actually maybe it’s more complex than i think

[ornate zinc]

They never stored it, cause it take a huge chunk

Tho the simpsons season and the chapter 6 map are still in the files

[hazy rune]

That’s what i meant

Like since they stored those why not store the pre winterfest chapter 7 map

[ornate zinc]

Cause the next map is gonna be changed

[hazy rune]

Anyways i guess no content until then

I feel bad for the people who didn’t get the winterfest skins

[lapis arch]

Ah yes

Running two kitsunes at the same time

[normal eagle]

so i just heard banjo kazooie music on TV that threw me through a loop

[tall forge]

[gloomy shuttle]

Oh right, apparently Fortnite is going to soon incorporate that micro-transactions in Creative maps in the next update apparently. 💀

[ornate zinc]

Btw the delulu umbrella is gonna be gone soon

[tall forge]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-no-oh-no-anyway-gif-18887547

[gloomy shuttle]

Unrelated, as it's been kinda kicking me just now.

But I don't know how I'd feel if Nintendo did a new Mario Baseball game, cuz I don't see what would be worth it

Cuz even if it came back, what would be the benefit especially if it carried elements of recent Sports titles that people complain about like the "free update" method. :/

It'd be the Mario Strikers ordeal all over again.

Like yay, a new Mario Baseball after so long. But like..

[gloomy shuttle]

Haven't touched Delulu ever, don't really want the brella tbf.

[ornate zinc]

Probably for the best, the mode got ruined after 2 weeks

[tall forge]

I played 1 match recently and the experience was really dumb

People were killing me cause I “shot first” despite 1 guy shooting me

It was like a team of 6

I survived but was the lasts to die for the win

Like the logic with people was like really really dumb that match

[gloomy shuttle]

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the Baseball games for what they we're back then. But a lot of the recent sports titles from their varied studios just kinda give me that similar impression and same ol' discourse

[ornate zinc]

They changed it cause that part was stupid

Backthen if you party up with other people before entering a match, you still be split up and spawn randomly else where, Now if you join a match while in a party, you’re team up together automatically whole using the regular battle bus

[gloomy shuttle]

Also the Winterfest stuff ends tomorrow.

[ornate zinc]

Just the cabin

[tall forge]

That wasn’t like that when I played a few weeks ago

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah the cabin. ^^;

Ngl, this Winterfest was pretty meh.

[ornate zinc]

Rip the people who missed more than 3 days

[tall forge]

Easily the worst

And I’ve been through them all

[ornate zinc]

Automatically the worst

[gloomy shuttle]

Definitely the weakest Winterfest

[ornate zinc]

Most of the items were reskins, and it was harry potter themed

[gloomy shuttle]

Last year's Winterfest was even better than this.

[ornate zinc]

You can tell they scrapped the harry potters stuff

[gloomy shuttle]

I'm glad they scrapped it tho.

[ornate zinc]

They still gave out one item tho

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah.. :/

And the Frosty Fest in Rocket League was also Harry Potter focused.

I am not going on Rocket League until the event ends.

Which should be on the 8th at least

[ornate zinc]

You automatically get one of the nickname for booting up the game sadly

[gloomy shuttle]

I haven't logged on it

[ornate zinc]

Good

[tall forge]

What’s a rocket league

[ornate zinc]

The clown shape car is good in the pass tho

[gloomy shuttle]

Oh the Junie?

I'm gonna renew the Crew soon to get that car

Gives me a bit of Herbie vibes.

And unfortunately, I'm probably gonna do the Rocket Pass cuz I do kinda want the Daft Punk cosmetics. 🥲

[tall forge]

I have a lot of v bucks saved up but idk what’s coming up that I would care for

[gloomy shuttle]

My only recent purchase with that Pulp Fiction Dance emote.

Besides that, once I get the Crew. I'll be back up to 9,100 V-Bucks.

[gloomy shuttle]

Probably best to know til the next update happens.

Which is in like 4-5 days apparently.

[tall forge]

Only thing I would get is kit rn and maybe a jam track if there’s a song I like

[gloomy shuttle]

I'm waiting for a sidekick that I'd really wanna buy and use to tag along.

[gloomy shuttle]

Oh right, we should probably know the next Jam Tracks dropping on Tuesday.

And then Wednesday with whatever this week's shop will consist that's openly confirmed.

Since Fortnite's been doing weekly Shop rotations every week.

I've seen Chainsaw Man prior, thought it was okay. I wouldn't mind if they added "Kick Back" as a Jam Track.

Or I guess an emote based around this within the opening.

Otherwise, not particularly interested in getting it.

I swear to all things holy that it better not be for Star Wars again.. 💀

[normal eagle]

player counts drop to -45

[fresh falcon]

I'm trying to think what would be something that they haven't done in a while. That's not star wars or marvel for a mini season

[ornate zinc]

Chapter 3 remix /j

They shorten the rank quests by 2 weeks

So you only have 44 days to complete them

So you have until the middle of February to finish them

[fresh falcon]

Ugh, I find short seasons more annoying in some aspects. Because limited amount of time and sometimes you want to play other stuff

Also, supposedly the next season's either gonna be Viking Ragnarok or zodiac galla

[ornate zinc]

a survey skins showing a skin simliar to dire could be coming next season

oh and it come with a tail

Got two wins and managed to get to 30%

[gloomy shuttle]

DC, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Family Guy (if they wanted to), etc.

At least ones I could think of that isn't just the same two brands.

[fresh falcon]

I can see the dc but they kind of already did that sort of with the super season with superman and robin

I can definitely see avatar because a different map island would be great for that particular mini season

Family guy, I think is just redundant because of the simpsons mini season

[gloomy shuttle]

Either way, Season 2 being a shorter length is odd.

Unless Season 2 is gonna be themed around a Collab potentially.

[gloomy shuttle]

Eh, wouldn't be able to do it.

Still, the idea of potentially another Star Wars Mini Season is a little upsetting.

But it also shouldn't shock me either cuz they're probably want to push it hard.

Season 4: September 3rd - November 28th

May & August specifically only have "1 update" featured.

[ornate zinc]

Might be shorter

They shorten ranked quests time

Which usually means ends when the season ends

[gloomy shuttle]

So potentially ending around February?

[ornate zinc]

Yep

Or they’re launching rank 2.0

[gloomy shuttle]

Likely just launching Rank 2.0

But yeah, 2 months for a full season is.. interesting.

Especially with Season 1 being longer

Maybe this is taking from the survey they've held in their Fortnite surveys months ago. I dunno.

[normal eagle]

i wonder if they're still working on that bot only mode?

[gloomy shuttle]

I just hate knowing that we might get another Star Wars season potentially. 😑

Just because of the specific timeframe.

April 30th being the potential end date AND May having one update from that month.

[ornate zinc]

Could be a marvel season

Marvel Mayhem etc etc

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah, especially with the timing of them re-releasing Marvel C5S4 stuff too.

It could be that.

Mini Season 4 could probably be Chapter 3 Remix/OG potentially cuz Season 2 was very Summer vibes.

[ornate zinc]

Alpha would be excited for that

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah he would if it does.

Alternatively, it might be another Collab mini season but is a different IP like with the Simpsons.

The next Festival headliner is probably on April 16th/30th assuming it has a similar timeframe.

While the next OG Season could be May 14th or June 4th.

Then LEGO Pass on July 16th.

[gloomy shuttle]

I mean, we also had Marvel characters in Battle Passes that weren't Marvel themed but still had seasons for them at the same time.

I don't see how they wouldn't for DC.

Among Us bundle came back

Also tomorrow should be where we know the next batch of songs added for the week.

And then Wednesday's the weekly Shop highlight video that could confirm new collab and original cosmetics before the Friday update.

[wary loom]

Hopefully the first week of february and Tangle and Whisper still will be released February 12, although two weeks with new characters and festival might be tough

[charred axle]

Yeah, though I Wouldn't be Surprised if the Releases were Spread Out as a Result of the Festivals

[wary loom]

A lot of people think Tangle and Whisper will be released around valentines day due... Reasons

Sad if they would miss this opportunity due AiAi delay

[charred axle]

Yeah

[wild shale]

[gloomy shuttle]

Apparently someone said about potentially we're leaving the Chapter 7 island on June 4th, so this feels strange. 🤔

So maybe it's something like:

Season 1: Western States (Nov-March)
Season 2: Norse Mythology (March-June)
Season 3: DC Season (June-September)
Season 4: Whatever theme fits the latest survey. (September-November)

anyone remember that game high guard that was announced at TGA? that supposedly comes out in 3 weeks

[wild shale]

oh yeah

[normal eagle]

it apparently doesnt have a page on xbox

[wild shale]

funny

[normal eagle]

i have no faith in that game

[wild shale]

i dont think anyone does

[wary loom]

Lack of info about this game is concerning at least

We had trailer, a bit of text on steam and thats all

[wild shale]

i honestly think the way it was announced actually is gonna lead to the game bein worse recieved than it wouldve been otherwise

[normal eagle]

it being the last game announcement at TGA definitely didnt help much

[wary loom]

In 2024 final trailer was Intergalactic, 2023 was Monster Hunter Wilds, so Highguard was just extrememly underwhelming

[normal eagle]

geoff also wasnt doing it any favors, claiming it to be the next big thing

[gloomy shuttle]

Also, is this to suggests Butters is the Mini Event Pass skin?

With a Professor Chaos alt

[wary loom]

He had to hype it somehow, but honestly i dont think even he had any idea how to do it

[normal eagle]

it should've been one of those games thats announced partway through the show, not the last game

[wary loom]

They payed probably extra to get this place

Although they probably had no idea that it will backfire

Mega Man should be final

ouch

[gloomy shuttle]

I like South Park fine, though haven't really caught up on the newer episodes nowadays. Just mostly familiar on the older ones.

I like their mori

[normal eagle]

he has different voicelines for nancy, dustin & steve

and id guess eleven as well

[unreal ibex]

He calls their name not sure if its only for the ST cast

[normal eagle]

i think so, cuz i tried it on vittorio and he only had a generic sounding voiceline

its so weird that were getting 2v8 changes, the PTB can only be played on steam i think

[gloomy shuttle]

Also, they're adding one of the Chainsaw Man openings as a Jam Track apparently.

[gloomy shuttle]

Is this a thing in Roblox btw?

I never really played that game, so I wouldn't know

[wild shale]

yes

[hollow dove]

Yeah.

[wild shale]

this is taken straight from roblox

[hollow dove]

Tragic I’m afraid

[wild shale]

every game there has so many mtx for bonuses

we will see stuff such as 2x growing speed for 500 vbucks

i wonder how long until they do the paying robux to unlock an experience

which is something roblox does

[ornate zinc]

XP locked behind vbucks

[wild shale]

lol yeah they could do that

new exp farm glitch, 1000 vbucks!!

[gloomy shuttle]

At this rate, I'm better off just grinding on LEGO Odyssey again.

[tall forge]

[gloomy shuttle]

The only positive to this is I have a reason to avoid any Creative map now.

I'm worried that because I spent time XP grinding in Dentist Tycoon that I could get hit with a heavy loss in V-Bucks. 😭

[ornate zinc]

I mean isn’t your main goal rn is the mystery map challenges

[gloomy shuttle]

The Reload challenges? Well yeah.

[ornate zinc]

I just gotta complete the last one which is wins in venture

[charred axle]

Dunno if Anyone Saw, but Apparently, but Someone Posted a Google Doc on Twitter that Showcases a Lot of Insider Fortnite Stuff, Including Development History and Collabs

[normal eagle]

you got a link to that?

[wild shale]

a "what" to that

[tall forge]

My knees are hurting again

[gloomy shuttle]

Based on the doc, seems like they plan on a lot of anime collaborations potentially.

Emperor's New Groove is also said to be a potential candidate too.

Apparently South Park crossover keyart got leaked.

[charred axle]

Yeah, I'll DM the Doc Link to Ya

[normal eagle]

there was a PVZ collab idea that was rejected

[fresh falcon]

I'm also interested because why not

[normal eagle]

wonder if epic would ever make an extraction shooter mode, considering those games are the thing to play

[gloomy shuttle]

I saw Jet Set Radio was amongst the list too which is a shame.

Spy X Family was said to be "discussed", which I'm still hoping it'll happen.

And that they wanted to do a "Flintstones" themed season.

Which like, how would that work for skins exactly? They'd have to do original designs unless they stretched their limbs like other cases.

[normal eagle]

replace all cars with the flintstones car, instead of using gas it uses stamina

anytime you get an elimination theres a laugh track that plays

[normal eagle]

theres a game i wanna get cuz it kind of looks fun but ive trash talked it a fair bit

At least this confirms that Broccoli guy is in the new update.

I don't care for it either

I was so close to getting a win, but lost by one quicker shot and gotten 2nd place..

Uggggghhhhhhhh, the worst part about it is that even if you managed to get the wins for one map, you have to wait for the map to rotate to what you need

Basically wait every 40 minutes

Eeyup, at moments like these. I wish I had the extra help. -_-

[long marten]

and yet you can't even see most of it when you're playing in handheld mode too

And even worse

The inside of the switch is colors will still be blue and orange

I mean nice variety but ehh

tbf those colours look really nice with grey

i would love those if the base joy cons for the switch 2 werent so similar

base joy cons kinda look like garbage to boot siiiigh

theres a new mario tennis?

honestly was not aware hehe

hasnt mario tennis been in the gutter since the 3ds

[long marten]

yeah it also releases from a month now on the 12th

[gloomy shuttle]

It was announced in the September Direct.

[limpid reef]

ahh, okay

[gloomy shuttle]

Super predictable that we'd get a new Tennis game tho.

[limpid reef]

sorry ive super not been keeping up with nintendo

[gloomy shuttle]

That's okay.

[limpid reef]

everything new coming out is on an expensive rehash of a console i already didnt like LMAO nintendo is like

really not as high on my mind as it is normally

[gloomy shuttle]

I like the Switch 2 tho, but I just wouldn't recommend it right away.

Especially if you weren't interested in the current line-up anyway.

But I'm excited for the Switch 2 mainly to get third party ports of games that should've been there.

[limpid reef]

im just interested in air riders and like

nothing else

most third party games that wouldnt run on switch or my pc are ones i dont care about so its whatever

[gloomy shuttle]

Fair, I'm just speaking as someone who doesn't really own a good running PC to play on, a PS5 or an Xbox.

And things are just expensive.

But there's been some newer games that I've wanted to check out for a long while.

Marvel Rivals for instance and just having those conveniences would be nice.

[limpid reef]

i dont have a good pc either but the most graphically intense thing ive played recently is risk of rain 2

[gloomy shuttle]

For Switch 2 games, I was mainly interested in Street Fighter 6, DK Bananza & Kirby Air Riders.

[limpid reef]

most of what i care for is fairly low performance

i just wanna play air riders siiigh

nothing else is that interesting sounding

[gloomy shuttle]

I mean, what would you hope or want out of the Switch 2 in the future?

If just speak first party games.

Not currently, but like a game you'd want happening that isn't a thing.

[limpid reef]

well for one actual exclusive kirby and mario party games

but i havent been super interested in nintendo exclusives lately, the switch 1 had a lot i just. did not like

part of why i dont have much interest in bananza, hearing its from the odyssey team is a red flag

[gloomy shuttle]

I mean, it's the 3D Mario dev team basically. (EPD8)

[limpid reef]

i tend not to like 3d mario giggles

[gloomy shuttle]

Ah, so you're more into the 2D ones

[limpid reef]

im not a fan of collectathons!!! most of them just play like normal platformers but with extra wandering around

odyssey was REALLY bad about that they super did not take advantage of it being a collectathon

[gloomy shuttle]

That's why I'd assume maybe you'd preferred the 2D equivalents as they've kept it simple. 😅

[limpid reef]

little bit

although ive no qualms with it being more complicated it just. often isnt fun

honestly my favourite is galaxy which barely even plays like a collectathon

although 2d mario tends not to control great siiigh

[gloomy shuttle]

Honestly, I just don't get excited for Mario games as much nowadays.

Maybe Mario Party on the rare occasions as they've been getting a little better.

And some spin-off series that aren't specific to Mario like DK & Wario I both liked.

But other than that, I just don't care for the series as much as I once felt.

[limpid reef]

jamboree was actually. good so my hopes are fairly high for mario party

and mario wonder honestly is a contender for my 2023 goty

[gloomy shuttle]

A new Mario Party will likely happen in Fall 2027 if going by the logic of releases.

[limpid reef]

id say jamboree tv would tide us over but from what ive heard No

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah, it's not worth it.

But as far as Nintendo series I still relatively enjoy, Kirby is absolutely one of them.

Occasionally Animal Crossing, WarioWare (though haven't bought any of the games, just watched them. lol), Xenoblade, and a couple others

[limpid reef]

kirby my goat...

i mean

star allies. but

kirbys got a good track record

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah, Kirby had it's few downs. But mostly ups.

But nothing outright "bad/awful" tho.

Star Allies was just okay, but was lacking in places.

Rainbow Curse also wasn't particularly memorable besides the art style.

On an unrelated note, we got a peak into some of the notable freebies in the pass.

There are 13, the rest are probably Sprays, Emoticons, Loading Screens and Level-Ups.

[ornate zinc]

Not the cred bag

[normal eagle]

isnt that a parody of prime?

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance dropped on GameCube - Nintendo Classics right now!

In addition..

"Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance" has been added onto the Nintendo Music app in time of it's re-release!

[charred axle]

Was Wondering Where This Week's Nintendo Music Addition Was

Also, I Wonder if this Means that GameCube will Go Back to Being Monthly, or if it'll be Every 1-2 Months

[gloomy shuttle]

Every 1-2 months probably, especially with Virtual Boy coming next month.. and I can see them rolling them out every 2-3 months.

I do expect Nintendo to roll out the next slate of GameCube games tho

Gonna call it right now, Smash Melee might actually be amongst the titles dropping this year.

[ornate zinc]

Disappointed that it fire emblem tbh

[gloomy shuttle]

I don't mind it, it's a game that's not easy to get officially nowadays.

[lapis arch]

Have yall seen the new "slidedivers 2" update?

[ornate zinc]

Fair i guess, but i understand bit why, some of the GameCube games got remakes recently

Or ports

Pikmin 1 and 2 is basically unavailable to select from

[gloomy shuttle]

Mario Sunshine and Pokemon Colosseum/XD will happen soon I'd imagine.

[charred axle]

Oh Yeah, True. Virtual Boy is Next Month

And Yeah, they're Probably Gonna Really Drip Feed that since there's Only like, 15 Games they're Releasing

[charred axle]

They'll Probably Announce More in the Next Direct

[ornate zinc]

Hoping Sega Allows SA2 to be on the switch 2 gamecube emulator

[gloomy shuttle]

Pokemon Colosseum & XD definitely feel like games that'll casually Shadow drop during the Pokemon Presents probably.

[ornate zinc]

Yes and no

[gloomy shuttle]

I want Billy Hatcher and the classic Super Monkey Ball 1 & 2 to happen on GameCube NSO too. lol

[ornate zinc]

Pokemon Colosseum and XD are mainlines games

[gloomy shuttle]

They are, but we know they're gonna drop eventually. Maybe Colosseum first, then later XD.

[ornate zinc]

True, though they could end up making it separate from the gamecube app

[gloomy shuttle]

My predictions on the games they'll pick are probably ones like:

• Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour
• Mario Superstar Baseball
• Mario Party 4
• WarioWare: Mega Party Game$!
• Star Fox Assault
• Wave Race: Blue Storm
• Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg
• Super Smash Bros. Melee

[charred axle]

I Wonder What They'll Do for Games that Have Recent Modern Releases in their Series, such as:

Mario Kart Double Dash
Mario Power Tennis
Kirby Air Ride
Animal Crossing: Population Growing
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

[gloomy shuttle]

I think they all will eventually.

I'm just not sure if Nintendo would want to if they're trying to let the recent versions still be of relevance.

Mario Power Tennis could probably happen a few years later in the app's life.

Same for Animal Crossing since it's not a big replacement type of deal.

[charred axle]

Yeah, Especially with Mario Kart and Kirby

I Feel that They were able to Release Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, and Mario Kart Super Circuit Fairly Quickly since those are Older Games that have been Rereleased At Least Once, and this was During when the Latest Mario Kart Game was a Wii U Port, so it Makes Sense if they Wanna Wait a Year or Two for Double Dash to Let World Soak in the Spotlight, since it Deserves to

[charred axle]

Mario Tennis 64 was Rereleased 3 Years after Aces, so it's Possible (Hoping that it'd be a Year Max though)

[charred axle]

Yeah, I Can See that Releasing Fairly Soon after 3.0.0 and the Switch 2 Edition Releases for New Horizons

Unless they Continue Updating the Game or Something

[gloomy shuttle]

That's why I'm betting either Mario Superstars Baseball (or) Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour will be the de facto Sports game that'll be highlighted for NSO into the 2026-2027 line-up.

[gloomy shuttle]

Nintendo's way with re-releasing stuff is very specific with how they roll out the NSO stuff.

It's why we never had Kirby Air Ride for it so early, it's because it was all planned for Kirby Air Riders to take the helm.

And since a new Mario Party is gonna happen late next year. We might see a Mario Party 4-5 (or just 4) by 2026.

[charred axle]

Yeah, if They Wanna Make a New Mario Golf Later Down the Line, They Should at Least Rerelease Toadstool Tour First

[charred axle]

Yeah. Same could be Said for Smash 64 and Even Melee tbh, since Ultimate is Smash's Huge Focus on the Switch

[gloomy shuttle]

Also, like I said.. I'm particularly confident Smash Melee is happening this year.

It'll be their Goldeneye 64 moment where they did the "one more game that's also coming" type of deal.

[charred axle]

I'd Love for Sakurai to Announce that

Same with Smash 64 and Maybe Air Ride if the Time is Right

[gloomy shuttle]

I think it'll just be from the Direct itself.

And the announcer guy like the N64 one

[charred axle]

Yeah, but like, I Meant have Sakurai Announce it In the Direct

Though I Would Understand if they Had to Just Go For the Regular Announcer

[gloomy shuttle]

I mean, they didn't have him when they mentioned Smash/Air Riders related news before, so.

Unless it was a big showcase.

[charred axle]

Ah Yeah. True

[gloomy shuttle]

Plus, with Smash 64 being amongst the classic games that's potentially coming sooner than expected. Whenever it does.

Having that double whammy of Smash 64 & Melee could happen like that.

But not until later in the year if they did.

They've done it for Earthbound Beginnings & SNES Earthbound for NSO in the past.

[charred axle]

Yeah, I Feel Like that'd be the Most Likely Way to Release them

[gloomy shuttle]

DK64 or Glover are likely next in line to re-release on the N64 app. So yeah.

Man it'd be so rad if they did a double whammy of both DK64 & Diddy Kong Racing. But I doubt it. 🥲

[charred axle]

Speaking of Smash,
Hmm...

[charred axle]

I'd Still Love for Conker to Release on the Mature App One Day

[gloomy shuttle]

Definitely will happen someday.

[gloomy shuttle]

In fairness, it's cuz Ike was in Smash.

[gloomy shuttle]

They we're literally displayed to be coming on the GameCube NSO tho from the April Direct last year..

[ornate zinc]

They put yoshi woolly world as a game that would work on the switch 2
Despite it never getting a switch 1 port to begin with

[gloomy shuttle]

Except Woolly World being there was clearly a mistake on Nintendo's end, this isn't.

[charred axle]

Yeah, that was Clearly Meant to be Crafted World

[ornate zinc]

I’m trying to remember if they picked a list depending on which games didn’t get a switch remake already

[charred axle]

Maybe in Another Wave of Rareware Games?

[charred axle]

True. Just Thought it was Interesting

[gloomy shuttle]

I mean, all that's missing from Rareware I believe is just those three

And the Banjo games on GBA

[charred axle]

And Starfox Adventures

[gloomy shuttle]

Star Fox Adventures would've happened regardless of Rare.

[gloomy shuttle]

Unrelated, but I got a win in Surf City!

One more win for that map as well

Venture: 0
Oasis: 1
Surf City: 1

[charred axle]

True

I Guess Mickey's Speedway USA would be Neat to Have

Conker's Pocket Tales, and the DK GBA Remakes as Well too

[ornate zinc]

Marked out all the games that are unlikely or aren’t possible

Basically anything that requires a special controller, GBA, N64 collection, or gotten a remake/port to the switch 1

[charred axle]

But You Kept Metroid Prime 1?

[ornate zinc]

Oh yeah i forgot that got a port

[charred axle]

And Doesn't Four Swords Adventures Require the GBA?

[ornate zinc]

Here a updated list then

[ornate zinc]

It does not

[charred axle]

Just Looked it Up, and Apparently Single Player Doesn't, but Multiplayer Does, so that Might be an Issue

[ornate zinc]

Not the first time nintendo has removed connectivity

[charred axle]

True, but they Seem to be Improving Upon that with the Switch's Emulators

For Example, they Emulated the GB and GBA Link Cable Function with NSO, but Not Wii U or 3DS

Also, Donkey Kong Jungle Beat can be Played with a GameCube Controller

[gloomy shuttle]

DK Jungle Beat does technically have a way to play the game with the controller itself I believe

[ornate zinc]

Different cases, since 3Ds’s GBA games were given out as special gifts, and were never intended to be updated to included it

Wii U, i guess they avoided doing it all together, but they gave SMB3 remake all the advances levels without the cards.

As for DK, it like playing a dancing games without the dancing, it kinda pointless.

[gloomy shuttle]

Donkey Konga 1 & 2 however are impossible as that's a whole licensing nightmare.

Unless Nintendo made new DK Bongos for the NSO anyway. lol

[gloomy shuttle]

I doubt Crystal Chronicles will be added through the GC NSO.

[charred axle]

True, but that Doesn't Explain why they Didn't Enable GB's Link Cable via Wireless Play or Something

Definitely would've been Possible, but it was the Wii U, so it's Not Surprising There Either. Kinda Forgot about the SMB3 E-Reader Hack lol. Wonder Why they Didn't Do the Same for F-Zero GP Legend on the Switch Outside of Japan

True, I Guess, but it Wouldn't Be Devestating if there was No Bongo Support. At Least All of the Game would Still be Playable

[charred axle]

Given the Virtual Boy Accessory, I Wouldn't Be Surprised lol

[ornate zinc]

They did technically for pokemon gen 1 and 2 on the 3ds

[gloomy shuttle]

Smash Melee is probably the one game I'm fairly confident we'll see on NSO in 2026

And Mario Party 4

And WarioWare: Mega Party Game$!

[ornate zinc]

I remember when brawl was made to make sure nintendo didn’t port melee to the wii with online functionality

[gloomy shuttle]

I'm gonna eventually head off to bed in the next 30 minutes from now, but I'm curious towards the Fortnite datamines itself.

[tall forge]

I don’t really like South Park

[gloomy shuttle]

I don't plan to buy any of the skins, but I'll do the free pass.

[charred axle]

Oh Nice, Not Too Far Away

Hopefully this'll Stop Scalpers Selling the My Mario Wood Blocks Set for Such Ridiculous Prices

[wild shale]

insane

[ornate zinc]

South park has alway been a gray area for me
Since it uses offensive humor for social commentary.
But they also actually do research on the subject.
And even if they agree upon it, they’re still willing to point out the flaws.
It weirdly progresses in someways

Tho some episodes age poorly

[tall forge]

I don’t like the cough cough certain scenes with adult things

[ornate zinc]

Peak styles

[ornate zinc]

Wow is this update dry

Oh yeah and daigo randomly got a new variant

[limpid reef]

we keep getting updates but when do we get downdates

sorry im like. losing my mind
what did they add

[wild shale]

the goobers

[limpid reef]

oh gracious

[wild shale]

5000 vbucks each

[limpid reef]

fortnite looks more realistic than i remember

[wild shale]

yeah unreal engine 8 update was wild

[limpid reef]

more like the real engine 8

[wild shale]

true

[hollow dove]

B-but they desperately need the money from the amibo Mario blocks 🥺

[hollow dove]

Errr, they look exactly the same

[wild shale]

cloned dog

[gloomy shuttle]

No way! They've added the I Love to Singa moment in Fortnite! 😭

I'm buying that one.

Also Kizuna AI and a new wave of Adventure Time are stated to be happening within the datamines.

Potentially these two

[wild shale]

neat

[gloomy shuttle]

Also now Regular Show is rumored to be happening too.

I need to update the game, but dang man.. they got me with the one South Park emote.

SOUTH PARK EMOTES ARE FIRE

vxTwitter / fixvx · Jan 9, 2026, 9:22 AM

[tall forge]

The bonus styles look really good this season

[gloomy shuttle]

I'm mixed a bit so far, but I do like the black/orange variant.

[tall forge]

I do not care a single bit about the South Park stuff

Oh ok I guess I finished the OG pass

[gloomy shuttle]

I don't care for the skins too much and other things. Just the one emote.

And it's only cuz I Love to Singa.

[tall forge]

That’s the only thing I remotely care for

But that’s even just barely

[gloomy shuttle]

I'd probably use the Rocket emote tho since that's free and I kinda like it

[gloomy shuttle]

But yeah, I need to see the bonus style in-game especially with their alts. But I'm mixed so far.

The Black/Yellow looks really good for the Cube guy.

[tall forge]

I think it’s one of the better ones in recent times

[gloomy shuttle]

I'm sure they are with the other alts in mind.

[tall forge]

I almost have the main pass done I need 50 levels

Apparently i'm done with the season pass until somewhere around february with the music festival pass, the only other things to do the south park mini pass

[ornate zinc]

You also have ranked

[fresh falcon]

I'm know but I had to do some other games.I'll probably will do that during the in between

[ornate zinc]

Also do you have fortnite on your phone, and are you free later to get the backbling from the blitz tournament

[fresh falcon]

I do, i need to check with the back bling is

[ornate zinc]

Here you go

[fresh falcon]

It looks like a reskin of a different backbling

[ornate zinc]

It is
It a reskin of the visitor backbling, which was a reskin of the slurp girl backbling

[gloomy shuttle]

I'm gonna try doing the South Park stuff today, I kinda want that emote and pickaxes

I got the I Love to Singa emote tho.

One of them was Fall Guys Bean in the Fortnite anatomy, I saw that.

[ornate zinc]

This is in builds only i believe

[gloomy shuttle]

Onesie has a Bear and Bunny ears.

Yeah no, Wonder Onesie's good.

[normal eagle]

the cowards [epic] zero build solos is basically unplayable

[ornate zinc]

Meh

I dislike fake bears

[normal eagle]

unrelated to fortnite, but there is a skin in dead by daylight that lets you play as a bear

[gloomy shuttle]

I know, but it's just nice seeing that there's more customization.

Hopefully that real grizzly bear in the survey happens still

We're only 3 updates remaining of Season 1.

These are it's final chances.

Hello!

[ornate zinc]

This update was 100% rush lmao

[normal eagle]

yea

like genuinely, whats the advantage of using this mythic?

also the bundle being 4000 vbucks is wild

[gloomy shuttle]

Not really surprised with that at all tbh.

Even then, I wouldn't have bought the whole bundle anyway

Much like the Scooby-Doo one.

[limpid reef]

i mean its certainly more interesting than most mythics

[normal eagle]

i dont really see how its useful tbh

[limpid reef]

being able to manipulate the environment to best match your build could be very helpful

like if you have a shotgun you could just. center it on a really claustrophobic area

or a mountain with a sniper

[normal eagle]

fair point

[limpid reef]

especially with the mountain you can fire it and then just. not get down so everyone has to come to you most likely

kinda depends on how the item actually works i guess because i dont think fn usually fully closes the storm

[hollow willow]

finally got red one but....

Super Styke looks ugly :/

[gloomy shuttle]

Should I wait a little long to renew The Crew.

Part of me wants to do it now, but I know there's that upcoming Music Pass thing

[tall forge]

Yesint

[ornate zinc]

@fresh falcon look like they aren’t doing the duos one anymore, tomorrow is the backbling but it solo

[tall forge]

That backbling reminds me of the bear characters capacitors in the moba I play

I’ll send a screenshot

[fresh falcon]

I only have problems on solo rank cup. Every other solo cup I can get in

[tall forge]

Hard angle to see

They also got a cool skin for Christmas

[ornate zinc]

Yes, but it only gives out money

[ornate zinc]

He a silly man

[tall forge]

Also has one of my favorite emojis

[ornate zinc]

You shouldn’t have trouble getting in, the rank checks if you’re gold or higher in any mode

[normal eagle]

why isnt that called 'beary smart' smh these devs

[ornate zinc]

@normal eagle it got pushed

What fish kick what

OH YOU MEAN THE OCTOPUS

the octopus is really good

god i hate how expensive these are sigh

[lapis arch]

Ahh, like fish bones

[limpid reef]

yeah they tend to have those

[lapis arch]

I love spending 10 bucks in a pair of shoes i cant see well in game!

[limpid reef]

sigh

[lapis arch]

Anything like 600-800 is whatever

[ornate zinc]

I’ll probably just grab these

[lapis arch]

I do get some if they are around that price

(like the flippers yesterday)

[limpid reef]

was a skin i really liked that came out early in the season i never got so now i wanna hold on for that

I really don’t care for generic shoes just wacky ones
