The new Project Voltage song was released; “Facade Question” by Satsuki ft. Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto, with the video being made by Yomitan Akane:

This one is really cool and has cute moments! Miku and Teto are competing in a Pokémon game show.

In other news, Minecraft has released the “Craftmine” update, available to play now through a Java Edition snapshot! You can craft your own mines, complete their challenges for rewards, use those rewards to unlock more features, and craft even more mines!

I agree as well. Having Dire Hit on her grid felt pointless as both Attack/Spe Attack offered Crit Boosts. That could have easily been reserved for an Energy Ball upgrade path instead.

It feels really weird to have her as the Mascot for this mode as Rosa is basically a glass cannon unit no matter how you build her. You would have thought that a more balanced unit would have been the highlight. I was actually kind of surprised as when I first read about this mode before the Datamine, I thought you'd be able to fight against certain units to build exp towards a Sync Pair role of your choice like Strike or Support, but no she's just a Field unit.

Looking at the Datamine, I assume you can use Rosa in future events, but you may not get the same reward boost so training her will be a lot more frustrating. I haven't so far seen a F2P player make it to S+ Rank on her Grid; although there was one person on Reddit who beat Cresselia solo by cheesing Bullet Seed flinch.

Florian for later this month seems to at least be more focused as a Support unit and as such is easier to build around and is just more useful in general. You give him max HP/Defenses, a Support Trainer Move of your choice, and then just spam 1-Bar Tackle the rest of the match. Too bad he doesn't have an EX Color; units that don't have them are a turn off to me.

Ironically though as I complain, I still like Rosa and I do like her new outfit so I did at least finish the Event enough times to EX her and gave her a Sprint Role Cake. Too bad they didn't give us her 5/5 unlike previous F2P units as there isn't much reason to invest in her any further.

This the Grid that I think I'll stick with. I'm missing out on Bullet Seed cheese but I think I value Sun and especially having max defenses more. The only way I think I could optimize this more is if I took out a few green orbs and got some extra red orbs instead. The lost time/Stamina in playing with the RNG doesn't seem to be worth it though.

With this she is basically a F2P version of SS Acerola with a greater focus on dealing damage and debuffing.

I had no idea you could get S+. I can’t see that being physically possible without the banner units, making it almost non free to play unless you saved and really wanted to pull for them.

Now I really hope they adjust this in future to balance it more.

Speaking of Spider-Man:
View attachment 400814

This title was leaked with official copyrights and a plot synopsis awhile back. So here’s potentially the plot of the film:
So in addition to Sadie Sink's undisclosed casting, the return of Andrew Garfield, Michael Keaton and Robert Downey Jr are also in the film. Guess it is highly likely that there will be further news expected to be revealed at San Diego Comic-con within a few months,

I was actually in the middle of making my Bingo with the idea that there is no way this direct isn’t an hour long.

Also I firmly believe most of it is game announcements with 15 minutes at most talking about the console.

I will explain more when I post my Bingo later today.

Also the treehouse is 4 hours long btw:

the newest Kagurabachi chapter has been one of the best reveals in recent manga history, it even tops the reveal chainsaw man had today imo

samura is the one who called the hit in on chihiro’s dad, which will set up probably an amazing fight in a few months

I am praying the Kagurabachi stuff is a joke, I clicked it thinking it was about the newest chapter that came out 2 days ago and not some leak.


Also hell yeah CSM absolutely cooked this week, I lost my ****

Smashboards has fallen, billions must debate over whether Scrimblo Bimblo or Popular McJRPGguy deserves to get into Smash more.
Little do they know that cult classic indie star Puzz Lé Sahlvurr will upset the entire fanbase with their inclusion

How else did you interpret that last page after he told Shiba to take care of Chihiro, called some unknown entity, and the last page being that? Dude is already an established traitor, you think he’s beneath snitching? :sakbanjo:

they added funny stuff to the Minecraft launcher including a couple of Undertale references (the description of "Casual Font" is "Swaddle the Launcher's words in a chilled-out, laid-back, cozy hoodie sort of style" and changes the launcher's font to Comic Sans, and if "Classy Font" is turned on at the same time, it changes to Papyrus).

Banjo-Tooie is the kind of game where they would have you do three rounds of a tournament in order to win one jiggy. Mario Odyssey is the kind of game where you would get a Jiggy for all three rounds. Banjo-Kazooie is the kind of game where you'd only need to win one round..... unless the person you're playing against is Mr. Vile.

I'll be real, I didn't interpret it like that but fair enough

If I may speak honestly, I don’t think the #1 Hero actually committed genocide, at least not willingly. Dude looks possessed af. I think Samura, and society, is getting gaslit hard by a worse entity at play.

As for Chainsaw Man, I’m very happy with the new reveal. I’ve had my suspicions, and thankfully its a great choice for the endgame for both Denji and Asa. Can’t wait to see how it ends.

Seriously. What do you prefer. Banjo-Tooie where you need to go back to old worlds with new powers or Banjo-Kazooie where you can beat each world first go.
I’ll take the first one if it’s limited to new expansions unlocked postgame. Odyssey did that pretty well imo.

I've said it before but Tooie is too damn big.

I feel like if traversal wasn't as big of a chore in Tooie as it is, the game would be 'fine', but I infinitely prefer the smaller, self contained worlds on Kazooie.

Except odyssey has just way too many collectibles that they all start feeling meaningless, speaking as someone who actually did try to 100% that game.

imo the perfect middle ground exists in, surprisingly, SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom, imo. The levels have lots of areas interconnected by tunnels and warps to give them a grander sense of scope, but all of those areas are actually pretty small and contained. I think that’s the route I’d prefer. Or maybe I’m wrong and that’s actually a problem people have with BfBB. Idk.

I just mostly don’t like Tooie’s metroidvania elements because they prevent me from ever feeling like I’ve actually beaten a world like I can when I play Kazooie and get that little dance. Especially when some of it seems so arbitrary. Like rocks you’ed totally be able to smash with the beak buster in Kazooie all of a sudden need the bill drill in Tooie.

It’s also interesting how both Tooie and DK64 have warp pads, supposedly to make traversal easier, but nobody ever brings them up because they just do not help.

I agree that Odyssey has way too many moon, but I can understand what they were trying to do. You weren’t meant to go for every single moon, just pick up whichever ones you found until you’re ready to go. Which is why there’s so many of them scattered around, you could find a moon anywhere doing anything. It’s fun!

But when you start trying to grind them all out one by one it gets tedious, and I do think that’s a bit of a misstep on the game’s part. There’s a lot of really superfluous moons they could’ve cut down on to make things a little better for the completionists out there.
