It's probably that first step that throws me off, how the vaporwave aesthetic came to just be called "aesthetic" like it was the only one and then "aesthetic" moved from that to meaning just...looks pleasing? As best I can tell it now just means "looks stylish", I recently saw an ad for a boardgame which described it as "aesthetic looking" and I think they just meant it looked cool.
...as a further aside I'm also old enough to remember when 2000s style was described as a mash up/pastiche of everything that came before so the fact 20 years later that's still how we're describing the vibe (or aesthetic if you will) is curious - especially as there are still clear differences between the two.

Bank will be free but everything suggests that Transporter is not going to be available for download following the shutdown so if you don't have it now you need to get it before it's too late.

Gamer ADD. I still need to finish Ghost of Tsushima for this reason. Phenomenal game but I have periods where I just suddenly stop and have little to no ambition to pick up where I left off. What’s worse is that I’ll start playing a whole different game

It was in The Sands of Time, especially funny cause the it's main character who is telling the story that you play through, so he is correcting himself when you missplay :)

Yeah it’s interesting. Originally(in its new usage) it referred to a vaporwave/pastel visual style. Now it just means literally anything with style. Gen z has co-opted the word for better or for worse. It comes across as moronic until you consider that seemingly 99% of that generations style choices in any media/medium is a rehash of styles from the past 40ish years. The way that vaporwave contains a nostalgia for early digital art I think carried over into “aesthetic” which is just anything that has style, a style that is inevitably a rehash of the past because contemporary consumer culture is in a sad art time loop where actually new things are rarely created, this is all Gen Z knows. So it’s still kind of dumb sounding but language changes for a reason. I’ve found the usage so annoying I’ve tried to rationalize it so that’s my theory.

I have Pokémon bank and transporter already downloaded I was going to buy a pass today then realised when the eShop shuts down the service becomes free to use. I was gonna get pokedex 3d pro but I thought it was a waste seen as though I have Pokémon home on my phone and switch

Twin Snakes deserves mention for the extra coreographed fight cutscenes that border on absurd. The shot of Snake throwing the grenade into Raven's tank is equal parts awesome and hillarious.

If you want to trasnfer Pokemon from previous generations before X and Y you absolutely need to get Pokemon Bank and Pokemon Transporter ASAP.
Other choices without modding:
Mega Man X3, Earthbound and Castlevania Dracula X. All three of those games are exceptionally expensive on their own if you want the originals, though they are all available on Switch through compilations.
EDIT: Mega Man 5 on Gameboy. Also exceptionally expensive but unlike X3, this one isn't in a collection anywhere. Same with the rest of the GB Mega Mans and Mega Man Xtremes however GB5 is a standout as it's own original game instead of a lite version of the console varianta.
Pokemon Crystal, I think the Celebi event is unlocked so it's worth it for that. Also with Transporter any Pokemon from RBYGSC can be moved to Bank then Home.

Open world can be really bad. A dozen different things to collect means nothing if the world is boring, a hundred side quests is just filler to pad lack of any real depth to the campaign.
Genres are not objectively indicative of a games quality, I love mass effect and futuristic star trek games are not something I would otherwise normally play. The story is interesting and all content within it flows smoothly

I loved the narration. I forget which game it was, but when you died the narrator, who is the main character, who is telling the story goes "Oh no, that's not how it happened at all,"

Reply to Why is Dead Space so much scarier than Alien Isolation? Is it the Necromorphs? by LordRevanofDarkness
You tell me. I mean, why are you asking other people why a certain game is scarier for YOU over the other? Art is subjective and horror is not an exception. Some things and how they are executed very well may scare you more than others, while it can be the opposite for someone else.
I, for one, or course didn't play DSR yet (can't, lol), but did play both Isolation and the original Dead Space. Both scared me, both delivered a tense, stressful experience, but Isolation for me personally was and still is more terrifying.
