It’s been a while since I was last on this site, and I’m struggling to find where to contact a mod, so I hope it’s okay if I just drop this here. 😅
I filled out a request to have my account deleted a little over a week ago, and I still haven’t had any response. Does anyone know about how long an account deletion takes?
Nate my FRIEND. How’s it going brother?

I couldn’t tell you how long an account deletion takes. It really just depends on when the mods get back to you.

Why exactly delete your account? I don’t mean that like I need a lore dump, and you obviously have control over your decisions, but why try to erase the digital footprint here? :061:

Oh hey, glad you're doing well.

In terms of account deletion... uh... there are 0 mods left.

It actually had a fairly good start as an Indie horror by making the Neighbor intelligent and adding enough elements to make getting chased by him tense, but not an outright jumpscare with every encounter, as well as having the house change and become more dangerous and difficult to navigate both every time he caught you and with every new build of the game, making the difficulty and very nature of the game more dynamic and giving it replayability value.

But for whatever reason, the final build ended up becoming more buggier and unpolished than any of the alpha or beta versions, almost everything that people found enjoyable about the game was lost, and the final story ended up being too convoluted and ambiguous to really be compelling.

Combine that with developers who were begging for MatPat and Game Theory to start writing theories and getting them free marketing like you mentioned and a bunch of hype that fans of the earlier builds were drumming up about it, and the final version of Hello Neighbor ended up being a far more flawed game that was largely being seen as a massive disappointment, especially in the horror game and general Indie game scenes, My personal theory is that the developers (or at least some of them) got too big for their britches after seeing all the positive feedback and attention their game was getting and ended up deciding to just rush out the zaniest version of the game they could make in short time.

Yoooo! Good and good! Both of us are still toiling in the voice over/general creative sphere mines, haha. Nice to see you! (Love that you've kept that pfp for all this time.)

It's going well! Got a job recently so I can finally save for the Switch 2, haha. Mario Kart World looks super fun (If not a bit pricey) and I'm really looking forward to DK Bananza and Pokemon Legends: Z-A too. (Also No Sleep For Kaname Date... I love AI: The Somnium Files) Good to see you!

Why exactly delete your account? I don’t mean that like I need a lore dump, and you obviously have control over your decisions, but why try to erase the digital footprint here? :061:
Mostly just cause, in my brain, it's kinda from a period of time I don't look back on super fondly just due to general stuff happening in my life at the time. Maybe it's a bit irrational, but it does kinda bug me.

But yeah, good to see you all again! I don't plan to be super duper active here, but if you ever wanna chat, I have a Bluesky now. (https://bsky.app/profile/myaturii.bsky.social) Lots of cool folks here, so I'd be down to stay in touch of course.

I slept through the Mario Kart direct but looking at reactions it's safe to assume that they really didn't prove the game was worth $80
It’s worth is definitely $80. However, its value is subjective. Regardless, it will sell millions and will have a ton of people to play with online. Get it.

Sorry R.O.B. fans, but R.O.B. is now a bike:

ROB is boring. This ROBike is not.

Crazy how the character they highlighted falling off a cliff was Penguin.
It’s not crazy. It’s a nod to Mario 64. Only high skill high IQ videogame gods can understand

"In Grand Prix, you can drive between race tracks"

"We know"

"In Knockout Mode, you can only advance in certain places"

"We know!"

"In addition to new characters, you can also unlock new costumes"

"WE KNOW!!"

Nintendo is apparently run by King Tommy :yoshi:
You gotta understand that directs aren’t just aimed at gamers but they are aimed at the casuals (the biggest base). They don’t follow gaming news and often times haven’t picked up a kart game in many years. A refresher or explanation of the modes never is a bad thing.

That is exactly what I was referring to when I called it crazy. Poor doods can't catch a break in Mario.

I'm gonna try to post a piece of Deltarune fanmade content every day until about June 5th in the lead up toe Chapters 3 and 4 being released. A ton of fans have made some insanely cool content or concepts in the last three years since Chapter 2 was released.

For starters, remember when this guy was who everyone thought was going to be either Chapter 3's main villain (which would've made Spamton's mention of "Mike" line up with Jevil's warning about Queen in Chapter 1) or Secret Boss (theorized to be because of his association with Spamton himself)?


While this track and the fangame it was made for are insanely good, I'm not sure how well the song would fit in Deltarune. It's got some distinct leitmotifs that are both original as well as taken from the game itself like the "Freedom" leitmotif, but the song's sound font and audio quality feel a bit at odds with some of the other tracks in the game, and it's melody is wild and all over the place. Still, I could see a track similar to it potentially being in the game give that Deltarune so far has had an even bigger variety of drastically different-sounding tracks than Undertale.

On the other hand, I think the design for Mike here would be a bit of a letdown in the actual game. The eye atennas are cool, but the rest of his design here basically boils down to just being an animated version of the mysterious face sprite that appears in the mansion attached to a TV screen like what ended up seemingly being part of Tenna's design, and two giant floating hands ala many Nintendo bosses. It's not bad, but it feels a bit odd and unpolished compared to the known official Secret Bosses and so many other fan designs for Secret Bosses that have been made since.

Whatever the case, I'm looking forward to the next Chapters immensely! I think I might actually like Deltarune even more than Undertale itself so far.

So like

It's a 'stealth' game, but the thing that you're supposed to be stealthy from is kinda braindead, despite being touted as having "extremely advanced ai that learns from the player".


It's a physics-based platforming game, except the physics are jank as **** and feel terrible to play.


And of course, it's a "mascot horror" game, so there's LORE. LORE. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE. And just like FNaF it's incoherent as ****.

To be fair, it did learn from the player in earlier builds. Or, okay, actually, at least, the Neighbor as a character did.

I don't remember if the Neighbor's AI ever changed up his patrol routes or made him try to actively counter any tricks the player used to try and escape or get certain items, or if it learned from the player at all, but at least the level changed up and got more difficult whenever he caught the player (until the changes that were implemented at the time hit their limit and the level couldn't change or become any more difficult any more).

Also, while FNaF's story has gotten worse and more confusing with the last few games, I'd argue that even Security Breach's story still makes more sense compared to Hello Neighbor's. Which is saying a lot.

Is that channel even active anymore? I remember watching a few of their reaction videos way back in the day (why does saying that make sound way older than I actually am?).

All I know is that I'm constantly hearing about some new beef their involved with.

I dunno how people live like that. Sounds exhausting.

I hath returned from the void to issue a royal proclamation...


That DMC show ****ing sucks, dude.
Yeah, I could tell I wouldn't like it so I left it at that and didn't engage with it. Hope things have been treating you well.

guess I managed to benefit from not being a DMC guy, cause I didn’t mind the show at all (especially Kevin Conroy, the licensed music choices, and any random moment of Robbie Daymond…tho I also liked the anime from the 2000s so I guess that counteracts my opinion

Somewhere out there on this big blue marble
I imagine it's like an Auto Vajin thing, where it can be a normal robot



But also can transform into a bike

Most people: "I don't know what this Power Rangers thing is"
Some people: "Oh, so this thing is a robot and a bike, cool! Poor old ROB isn't getting scrapped for parts then!"
Me: Remembers how Takumi ****ing hated this thing and the equivelant being Mario and friends beating the **** out of ROB when things don't go right "Poor ROB..."
From the sounds of it they absolutely wasted a solid soundtrack.
Oh dude I heard their Devil Trigger remix and it has Zero energy, how the hell do you do that? I can at least understand what they did to Devils Never Cry but that should be unacceptable
I've never played the Danganronpa games, but why are they so "love it or hate it" and memed on so much exactly?
Basically there is genuinely solid writing, the themes of 1 and V3 in particular being real interesting at worst, but the moment to moment writing is a hell of a lot weaker, the third cases are notoriously very weak, 2-3 being ****ing abyss tier fiction for me personally. The mysteries are generally pretty damn good but unless you know who lives and dies, you won't really care much for the cast as you only have so many free time events before someone dies and if some characters give you bad vibes, which they will inevitably do because Kodaka's character writing isn't his strong suit, you're not gonna want to care about them. Hell, I can replay Ace Attorney but when I tried playing Danganronpa 1 despite knowing everything cause I saw the anime first, I just couldn't get through it as the mystery element, which again, is actually great, doesn't hit when you already know what happens


Also the minigames can eat my entire ass I ****ing hate Hangman's Gambit

the entire thing is nu-metal from the 00's and really forgettable remixes of the DMC songs people actually like.

Devils Never Cry, y'know, his most famous theme song, at best gets a somber remix that's only used for the credits.

I know they used Devil Trigger for Dante. Which is like using Unknown from M.E. or I Am All of Me for Sonic instead of Knuckles or Shadow.
Between that and Johnny Yong Bosch, I think a show with Nero might actually have been better. (although what I've read about the actually story, that would not fix it.)

Exactly! wasted a solid soundtrack.

Finally got my hand-me-down Sega Saturn working! With the exception of the Pico and the 32X, I now have access to playing every SEGA system in some fashion.

I bought a Pseudo Saturn Kai off of Amazon so I can play burned/import games on my system without modding. There are less steps for burning games for the Saturn, but unlike the Sega CD, you need an alternative way to bypass the system's pirate check.

I don't think I'll collect for the system as prices are ridiculous, even by my standards, and the jewel cases are easy to damage so a good copy of a lot of games can go for even more. I've wanted to play the bonus content in Mega Man 8 for the longest time, but it's not worth the extra few hundred dollars compared to just playing the regular PS1 version.

I also really want to get into the Asuka 120% series, and ironically, the competitive scene for the game already plays an unofficial official pirate version of the game created by the original Devs. So burning a copy of the game is the only real way to play it on an original system. lol

For the U.S. and Canada, preorders for the Switch 2 will now begin April 24. The price of the console/games is unchanged, however certain accessories will have a price increase in the U.S. only.

Edit: Nintendo also noted that prices may change in the future, again for the U.S. only.
