Now I want to replay Portal 1 & 2 again. I have all the puzzles memorized a thousand times over at this point. Such good games.

Mirror’s Edge is also really fun. I’ve only played it once but think about it frequently. I’d like to play it again sometime.

Hey b’y. How’s ya gettin’ on? Goin’ down fer a jigs dinner now da once

Funny, mine’s the opposite. My wife is pregnant right now with our first, and was insistant this was her zero-th Mother’s Day. Next year will be her first “real” Mother’s Day, but she wanted something small this year.

My friend is a florist, so she helped me get a nice floral arrangement put together for her yesterday. My wife cried. It was very nice.

There’s a similar situation at my wife’s work. She’s one of nine to be pregnant, all on the same unit. At my work, there’s three of us who are either pregnant or whose wife is pregnant. All pregnancies, both at her work and mine, are due at around the same time.

I’ll have to check it out. Soul Silver is probably my favourite Pokémon game

I appreciate the info. Thanks!

I’ll definitely have to give Clair Obscur a look. Sounds promising!

I was considering checking out the randomizer. How well does it run? Are there any performance issues or does it more or less run as well as unmodded Elden Ring?

In HeartGold/SoulSilver specifically (and then not again after for some reason), you could toggle the running shoes. So much nicer than having to hold B all the time. They also allowed for two Select items (items you can activate without entering the items menu), which also never carried over to other games.

I seem to remember one of the more modern games allowing you to view move details (description, power, accuracy, etc) from the movelist screen during a fight, rather than having to go to Pokemon > [Pokemon] > view moves, or whatever it is. I think one game also allowed you to see if the move you’re about to use is super effective or not, but I’m not really a fan of that one. Learning type effectiveness is part of the game imo, but my opinion on this isn’t too strong.

Not really QOL but I loved mega evolution and would like to see it come back. It was exclusive to Gen 6, which was the last Gen I played, but I heard they never included it in following Gens. It was basically a temporary “evolution” (a different form) for specific fully evolved Pokemon for just the fight. Only one Pokemon can mega evolve per fight though, so you gotta choose wisely. Gen 6 competitive battling was peak imo for just that reason.

I really liked the EV training in Gen 6, not sure if that carried over but it made it much easier to increase EVs, rather than having to fight the same Pokemon over and over again.

HMs eventually disappeared. Gen 4 had a whole bunch, then in Gen 5 I think there were still a lot but most weren’t required for progression (I think in order to beat the game you only needed one of the HMs, I can’t remember which. The rest were just for optional stuff I think. It’s been a while though). I think in Gen 7 they finally removed HMs. The moves are still available I think, but they don’t do anything outside of battle.

I’m sure there’s more I’m forgetting, someone else can expand on this list.
