My bad. I just assumed that these acronyms were known for Mario & Luigi games. I shouldn't have assumed that.
PiT is for Partners in Time, and BIS is for Bowser's Inside Story. And you might see someone acro Superstar Saga with SS.


Yes. Because getting someone to ask what particular acronyms mean is very high on my non-existent GBATemp to-do list... :rolleyes:

Anyways as for today, I beat my first Pokemon gym. In Pewter City. Cool game. I can see now why these games are so freakin' popular.
I thought PiT was Porn is Sex, Bis was Butsex is Sex and SS was Sex is Sex.

I mistook you for a degenerate. Unfortunately, you are not one of us.

A week ago I decided to replay the all three (Wii) Metroid Prime games for the first time in 16 years. In hindsight, this was a bit of a mistake. The games are great, but as I was nearing the end of 2 (when the game said, cool go get those nine extra keys) fatigue was setting in and because of that I was not having as much fun during the last part of 2 and the entirety of 3 (it kind of felt more like an obligation rather than just having fun).
That being said though I am kind of proud of my (essentially blind) playthrough that somewhere along the line turned into a deathless playthrough. In the end I'd rate them in the order they came out in (1 being the best, 3 being the worst, although it's still pretty great) simply due to the keys (and the screw attack, I really did not like the knockback in the game) in 2, and the many times I needed to get to the ship to get to another part (plus all the cutscenes and gimmicky motion control parts) in addition to the energy cells in 3. (Make no mistake, I loved the motion controls for aiming and the such, but having to use them to pull levers etc. were quite annoying)

I have utterly maxed out Final Fantasy X for the first time. All seven characters with complete Sphere Grids. All stats including Strength, Agility, Defense, Magic Defense, Magic and Luck are at 255. Everyone's Evasion is at 165 or above, and I left everyone at their base Accuracy, since it's pointless when you have max Luck.

Everyone has 99,999 HP and 999 MP, five of them have the perfect armor set of Break HP Limit, Ribbon, Auto-Haste and Auto-Regen, and I have 54 of the 198 required Dark Matter to craft the final two sets, if I wanted to. Which I don't. I am done. I am satisfied. Five Ribbons are more than enough.

All Overdrive Modes unlocked, all Ronso Rages, all of Auron's Overdrives, all Celestial Weapons obtained and upgraded. 10 of every single creature in the game captured and defeated, every Creation in the Monster Arena beaten, including Nemesis, and the Dark Aeons and Penance destroyed.

There is literally nothing left to do in this game except Blitzball, and... nah.

Final game time - 156:36:46.

Finished Metroid Dread.
Didn't like it. Sure as hell won't try to get the stupid useless unlockables while speedrunning or finishing the game on multiple difficulty settings anytime soon.
For a couple images it's not even worth it.

Next up, Ys: Monstrum Nox.

Finished the last levels of Goblin Sword.
Still missing some of the quests that relate to speedrunning, but I don't think I will do that anytime soon. If ever.

    @ColdBlitz, i forgot breath of the wild released for the Wii u
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    $60 for a game that's a decade old might be unheard of on PC but actually is not uncommon on consoles

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    especially Nintendo because they only ever lower the price of games when they do a greatest hits/platinum hits/players choice re-release
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and the HD collections released for 7th gen consoles too
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but they don't seem to have done any of those for the switch yet and maybe never will
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    I think we all forgot breath of the wild released for the wii u tbh

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, tbh the HD collections are more justified since they include more than just 1 game per copy
