Pokémon Reborn has been one of the best Pokémon fangames I've enjoyed. Never thought I'd see the day it was completed, but it was last year. It supports wondertrade, online battles, trading and more, and has custom terrain effects.

I only bought a 3DS in the last couple years, but you bet Ghost Trick was one of the games I have on my SD card!

(we had distribution right for Capcom in Australia)

That's hella cool, for one. Please introduce me to your job /jk

It kind of faded away since Capcom just stopped porting it to newer and newer devices. The DS was a long time ago.

I remember a couple years back when I saw an artist selling a sticker of one of the characters and we shared that brief moment of enthusiasm. I'm really happy to see that it will receive love again. The newer generations will probably also come to appreciate this game.

Kind of depends which angle we approach it from. Someone does have to first purchase the game to get a DRM free copy to make (legal) copies to share. It's not really stealing outright, and publishers understand that they're giving their customers the option to share their games with others when they sell on GOG.

In this view, then it's kind of like paying it forward. Those who cannot afford it can use it for free. Those who can are encouraged to pay, get their own copies and pass it along to others at disadvantage, like sharing infinitely replicateable books.

Admittedly it's a more optimistic view assuming most people would do that. But, if pirates pay for Stardew Valley, it means there are people who abide by this.

True, I think in Japan kids weren't considered human until they survived to a certain age due to how child mortality just worked in the past (the exact number slips my mind atm).

Based on Linfamy's video here, sometimes parents would even "return" children shortly after birth, just because childbirth was safer than abortion measures of the time.

Good point. I do agree it's more of a modern idea.

Though in a way, you do have to care for your retirement account. You have to make deposits regularly and ensure investments are done responsibly to ensure the best possible outcome.

If you don't take care of them, then you'll only get a poor outcome, like not receiving the best possible care but just the bare minimum necessary or even nothing at all, if things are bad enough.

After all, the bible also says "Love they neighbour as thyself". When your children grow up and become your neighbour, the way you've treated them has a possibility of coming home to roost, especially now.

Initially made an account with the instance opened after my country's subreddit made the shift, but on Jerboa trying to look at other instance content was really rough.

So I joined here since I enjoy the content, and raise the black flag every so often.

I played most of TOTK with a controller because my joycon camera drift really messed with the gyro. Got the hall effect sticks installed last week and I'm hoping this is the end of drift for me.

I saw a few posts on twitter about these hall effect sticks still presenting with drift even with calibration. Not sure why, but I hope it's just user error that can be corrected and not another hardware problem.

I used to subscribe to r/freegames so this rocks! Thanks for creating it!

Same, I just started using Liftoff and got a little lost because my comments expanded again once off screen.

It'd also be nice if they removed/shrunk the "tap to expand" line, or made it inline with the commenter username, sort of like collapsing on the official Reddit app.

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective. I played it a decade ago on iOS, loved it, and thought it was never going to see a modern release again.

I'm thrilled to see its recent release on the Switch and PC because it truly deserves a try if you like a good story and time traveling based puzzles.

Both are great games! Inscryption was the only game I've ever bought on launch after seeing gameplay videos and I had no regrets. Hope you enjoy it too!
