The New 2DS XL is pretty bad. I see people all over the Internet talking about how fantastic the model is, but it really isn't. I used to love it, but now that I use a different 3ds, looking back I can tell how cheap that thing was. It's it very comfortable, the speakers are in a stupid spot, and it scratches extremely easily.
Still far better than nothing, though, the 3ds is amazing to play no matter what version you have.

The New 2DS XL is awkward to me because it just doesn't have that heft that the other models have, the top screen especially feels flimsy.
I can see some people maybe preferring how much lighter it is, but it feels weird to me.

SNES was actually super advanced.
Allow me to explain;
Just off of the top of my head, I can think of 4 SNES games that share a certain quality; Kirby Super Star, Final Fantasy 3/6, Kirby's Dream Course, Mariokart.
What do all of those games have in common? What is this "certain quality" that they share?
They're the last (Or the second-to-last) of their dimensions.
Kirby Super Star was the penultimate 2D Kirby game, since the only later game that wasn't either 2.5D or 3D was Kirby Squeak Squad.
Final Fantasy 3/6 was the last Final Fantasy game to be isometric with 2D sprites; all later Final Fantasy games were 3D.
Kirby's Dream Course was the last Kirby game to be isometric with 2D sprites; all later isometric Kirby games were 3D.
Mariokart was the first, and last, Mariokart game to be truly 2D, with 2D racers on courses that were also 2D. All later Mariokart games had 3D courses and/or 3D karts and racers.
And most videogames, when increasing dimensions, reduce quality due to hardware limitations. For instance, look at how primitive the Kirby 64 animation looks in comparison to Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
Because of this reduction in quality when increasing dimensions, and due to the fact that many SNES games were the last, or almost the last, of their dimensions, SNES was a very high-quality and advanced game console.

Whoops, I forgot about that one.

Home Alone 2 is better than the first one. It's way funnier and I think the setting is more interesting.
Also, the scene in the abandoned building is ridiculously more violent and stupid. Like, the first movie would probably leave the robbers dead, but the second would have them blown away to absolute dust

Whoops, I forgot about that one.

Also Kirby and the Amazing Mirror.

I think the Undertale fansong “To the Bone” isn’t very good. It acts like Sans and Papyrus are the first monsters you meet and are all-knowing.

Papyrus doesn’t hate puns (the “THAT WAS… CLEVER” line might try to signal otherwise, but it isn’t enough.) Sans doesn’t really threaten you just to scare you in non-genocide runs; instead, he always has a reason (ie showing that he’s the reason you’re still alive or commending you for killing Papyrus.)

These are things that, in my opinion, would work a lot better for Flowey. He actually is the first “monster” you meet, knows enough about the game’s systems, will threaten you, and could have an interesting dynamic with Toriel if you want a second monster to mix things up.

The only reason it’s like this is because it was made in 2016. Frankly, compared to a lot of other early UT fanworks, it doesn’t get too much wrong; comparing it to more modern understandings of the characters, however, really shows its age and flaws.

Also Kirby and the Amazing Mirror.

Whoops.
I think the reason I forgot about that one is partially because of my experiences with the RetroPi; an emulator I once used.
I played Amazing Mirror on it at one point, but it stopped working one day and I don't know why. None of the other games stopped working; just Amazing Mirror.

Noelle from Deltarune is poorly written and feels like they're forced into EVERY situation.
School? Smartest kid.
Relationships with the main cast? Has a massive crush on Susie, one of the main characters.
Has their own route that's filled to the brim with lore.
They are literally the main reason why 80% of chapter 2 happens.
Their dad is sick.
Their mom is the MAYOR.
And their sister is MISSING.
And everyone praises Noelle!
She has too much going on for her character!
Noelle, IMO, is Toby Fox's spoiled favorite child.

It's not the character I hate, it's how they're written.

 

[Asternove]

Noelle from Deltarune is poorly written and feels like they're forced into EVERY situation.

Okay, let’s see how a guy who hyper-fixates on Deltarune often can tackle this.

School? Smartest kid.

Her mother pressures her.

Relationships with the main cast? Has a massive crush on Susie, one of the main characters.

That crush ties into her main character trait: she’s a doormat. Susie is quite the opposite, and her rebellious nature inspires Noelle. This isn’t just “oh she cool girl.”

Has their own route that's filled to the brim with lore.

Chapter 2 is her chapter. If this was a consistent thing, then I see a case. However, she’s only confirmed to center in 1/7 chapters.

They are literally the main reason why 80% of chapter 2 happens.

Why? Because Queen is constantly hunting her down? Bowser is constantly hunting Peach down, yet she is never considered “forced into an important role.”

Their dad is sick.
Their mom is the MAYOR.
And their sister is MISSING.

1) Can’t important characters have ties to other important characters to make the world feel connected?

2) They all make sense as a family. Her mother is imposing and Noelle has trouble standing up to her (a parallel to Queen,) and her father, her only relief, might not live very long.

Finally, Dess being missing would be meaningless if she was just a random character. It’s a lot more impactful if the daughter of the mayor and the sister of the most impressive lightener outside of the Fun Gang is missing rather than a random girl.

And everyone praises Noelle!

That’s because she’s good at everything due to her mother pressuring her to be.

She has too much going on for her character!
Noelle, IMO, is Toby Fox's spoiled favorite child.

I don’t think so; look above.

Deltarune is better than Undertale.

An opinion I agree with, actually. Undertale is a good game & has a great story, but it's lore has as many holes that the humans could fall into, and Deltarune looks to have a more consistent story & lore with its "many routes, one ending" route it appears to be taking. Kris as a protagonist is much more interesting to me than Frisk, the Party system is more fun than playing as a single character throughout the run, and I highly prefer the lore okay?

Here's an unpopular opinion I'm willing to share: Minecraft as a game became far less interesting to me as I grew up, and as a creative artist, I'd rather just draw & write my own stories than playing a sandbox (part of the main reason I got into Terraria after reading about for like a while). I need clear objectives or else I would mindlessly wander (this doesn't even get into the recent, more "pointless updates" & the last thing I got interested in that got into the game was the Sculk & Warden. That is another whole can of worms).

It's funny to joke about it being disgusting but RC cola is actually really good

the taste of mint sucks and mountain dew is just unhealthier sprite.

McDonalds is overrated. Before anyone yells at me, this is a mostly unpopular opinion.

The chicken nuggets make me want to throw up. The fries are the only good thing there.

I think that BDSP is a fine game. I don't think it is perfect, since it is RIDICULOUS that the NPC that gives you the little brown fluffy boi doesn't give it to you till POST GAME. I don't know why that, and Rotom, were in the post-game. They could have gone the Platinum route, but I guess not. Other than that, though, I think it is overhated. The E4 is actually hard, and I remember clearly when my Palkia landed the finishing Ice Beam on that demon of a Garchomp at the end. So satisfying. I do like how all the legendaries have side quests, like Heatran and Cresselia. I also was able to get Shaymin, Darkrai, and eventually Arceus (still shiny hunting that thing). I do think there should be more escort missions. I do also like how the move animations go hard. For the first time, Roar of Time isn't a beam, but an ACTUAL ROAR! That part of BDSP is great, the move animations. I think a lot of the budget went there, honestly.

The rest of the game before E4 is a joke, but then you get to a EV trained E4 and a practically competitive ready Cynthia. The game as a whole is just worse than Platinum even if it has some good things like overworld HMs.
