  1. Technically when I was 10, I played a Picross puzzle in a magazine. A few years ago, I visited my brother and played Mario Super Picross on his Super Famicom, and from there I was completely hooked. I only have S4 and it's awesome. The music is surprisingly awesome, and the new modes, like Color Picross, are great. I've completed all the puzzles except Mega Picross, which will always suck. Hell yeah you should! It's the same company behind the E and S series, they have the monopoly on Nintendo Picross games. You'll miss a number of quality of life features from say S4, but I actually prefer the vibe and level progression from Mario Super Picross over the modern games.
  2. You cite posts from months ago for the most obscure and pedantic reasons! Does not compute, Jay! Does not compute!
  3. No better time than when it's free to find out! You, uhhhhhh...play anything else lately?
  4. @Quintus Latest free game I got from Epic was the Hitman reboot. Have you played it?
  5. I'm split on it (though agree 100% on TFA). The infiltration episode does something rare in the series in that a character consistently clashes with Mando rather than putting aside their differences after like three lines, and Mayfeld is the perfect character to slide cognitive dissonance in his loyalty to his creed. Mando removing the helmet is a great culmination of that dissonance, and he's absolutely shellshocked as a result (which Pascal portrayed magnificently). That he committed such a sacrifice to his sense of identity to save his boy is a character-defining moment. We wouldn't have experienced that if he had solely removed his helmet to say bye to LIl' Grogu.
  6. Quint has ascended into a new echelon of existence, a higher strata of being. For he beheld console gaming as it descended from Heaven, like lightning. PC and Switch has been an absolutely winning combo for me over the last two years; even on lower settings the games look and perform probably better than their console counterparts. However, there are times where I have to fight the temptation to grab a console for some great exclusives I miss.
  7. Probably for similar reasons why he acted on visions of the future and rushed off to Bespin despite the warnings of his mentors.
  8. Awwwwwwwwwwww snap! Have you gotten a chance to fire it on? Let me know if you have any questions about it! Pro-tip: as it powers on and tunes, move the Program knob
  9. Luke's robo massacre scene gave me goosebumps, and it started with the music. Great sense of awe and surrealism.
  10. I'm really glad they're pushing the Imperial Remnant angle. #mercyformidichlorians! I don't mind them at all and don't think they take any mystique away from the Force in their basic concept at all.
  11. I understand you're rightfully proud of the work your company has done, but why did you think it was necessary or appropriate to respond to his comment in such a disproportionately extreme way?
  12. I can't help but wonder if part of it was Williams feeling pressure, whether from without or within (most likely the former), to consciously imitate what came before, much like the film itself, and later the Star Wars sequels (cue hornist: ) I think the moments that came closest to matching the glory moments of the first three--such as the build and climax of Hidden Treasure and the City of Gold--were ones that were laced with some of stylistic fabric of the originals, but still deeply natural with Williams' current style at that time.
  13. Yes! It gives me huge The Fury vibes, and is an amazing example of how Williams developed Rey's Theme and matured it over the course of the trilogy.
  14. Trust me, I've been through the gambit! I've even listened to the leaked flash drive stuff or whatever storage device it was. There's just something about his compositional style that feels hollow to me. Great, great writer though. Now for some glorious FM.
  15. It's one of my best friend's favorites, but I could never connect to Aphex Twin outside of appreciation and respect.
  16. See I feel the same way about the cartoons: I refuse to engage in anything that looks like moving Lunchables package art, but so far I haven't felt that they've detracted from Mando...I try to divorce whatever knowledge I might have gained about this stuff from osmosis, and if I didn't know Ahsoka Tano was some Clone Wars character, I'd just assume this Mando lady knew a Jedi by that name.
  17. Something he's gonna throw into his trash can the following morning.
