#Closurer

[randomisedgaming]

There is just one week left before the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U eShop close.

With Nintendo up to it's bad old tricks of shutting down its online shop services. Riven has been hard at work making a note of the best games to get on the service. In the case of the Wii U many of the games have been ported to Nintendo Switch with extra content or are available on other formats. There are still a few exclusive games worth picking up along with their download content. Titles like Affordable Space Adventures, Pokémon Rumble U, Chasing Aurora & Dr. Luigi.

However the more concerning issue is the 3DS and the amount of games that will be removed from the service and along with their respective download content. The first problem is this is poorly documented across the net, most DLC downloads aren't listed in the eShop instead can only be accessed in-game while other games have special download content that is free to all users.

Some download links look like they don't connect to the Nintendo server so may remain up for some time after the store closes, but we can't be 100% sure on this. Word of warning some games like, Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney and Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past require you beat the game to access the DLC...

So Riven spent three days last years trying to draw a list of every Japan, European and North American game that features download content for the 3DS. Checking various online sources and our own research to create the most complete list on the internet we can find and you can access it here via Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XEDYGOzT1ZPQQ60NCaCaPkqV5QQwULGy/view?usp=sharing

It's not a perfect list so if there are any games we are missing let us know! Contact us via twitter, e.mail or leave a comment and Riven will add missing games asap. From our own research series like Level 5's Inazuma Eleven & Yo-Kai Watch are very poorly documented and all of them area to have some form of free download. Most of the Yo-Kai Watch games also have DLC that is only available to people who buy the game digitally.

We will have a video on the subject in the next two days. Do be aware that you will need to upgrade your 3DS and Wii U SD memory cards if you plan on downloading a lot of games. Both systems also have a hard limit of 300 system icons, the Switch has one of a 1000. At which point you will have to delete a download game to download another. That's not mentioning the fact Nintendo will block credit card use on a Switch for a month if you make too many purchases. You must have linked you 3DS and Wii U account to a modern Switch / Nintendo website account to still add funds.

I think that what's brilliant about The Far Side is how it can imply an entire narrative with only a single panel. It's sequential art without the sequence. Like this one

There's the obvious implication of what's going to happen in the future (there's going to be a hunt), but it also stretches into the past: what circumstances in the anthropology of this group of cavemen must have happened to establish a tradition of dancing with Woolly Mammoths? Why does it, in spite of it's obvious absurdity, feel kind of right that there should be a dance before the cavemen and the mammoths engage in mortal combat? The reluctant fearful expression on the caveman at the bottom; is this his first hunt? Are those his elders trying to reassure him? Does the one mammoth actually seem to fancy him? What about the one looking fearfully back at his friends? How does he feel that the others aren't there to reassure him? One of the mammoths in the upper right looks just as fearful as the cavemen; why? etc.

And all of this is purely evoked. There's only simple line-drawing and two sentences of text, but you see it and it reminds you of other sorts of narratives you've seen or experienced, and your brain constructs a whole temporal sequence; and any possible answer you could get to above the questions would never be as satisfying as what your brain fills in.

I could write an entire essay about this.

THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN MY FAVOURITE SCENE IN SEASON 4

[kartoonatic]

Yes Ford is a monster fucker and yes Bill is even more of a monster fucker but just how much more is like, hard to process.

Bill is fucking with a creature which, from his perspective, has:

Infinite sides (euclidians are basic geometry)

Infinite sides that branch off into smaller extremities (do you think he realized at first the difference between a neck and a finger)

Is made out of several unique compounds (like what's the difference between flesh and bone and spit to him)

And he convinced that thing to do exactly what he wanted for the better part of it's natural life span. At one point had that thing hanging on his every word. Like I kinda get the hubris. If I successfully convinced an existential horror like that to do my bidding you couldn't talk me down from that high. And he says he likes me. Maybe like-likes me. I kinda get it.

You can argue that Bill likely came into contact with much stranger shit than humans during the entire period between meeting Ford and destroying his own home world, and you'd be right. But also I think while manipulating/romancing horrible space creatures might not be a completely new experience I also don't see how you could get bored of it.

Eddie is such a good father. It takes a good parent to give their child the space they need but still invite someone in who can be a safe space so that Christopher is talking to someone. Giving your child that time speaks volumes of who he is as a person and a father.

He doesn’t want to bust the door down he wants Christopher to open it. He wants the privilege of being allowed back in and he recognizes that he needs to earn it. That he cannot force it upon him. Until then he’s going to do what he can to provide Christopher the support and trust that he probably feels like he’s missing from his dad right now.
