Not counting Spyro and Skylanders for obvious reasons, I'm honestly not overly fond of how this site talks pretty much solely about Nintendo games and not much else. (Even then it's pretty much just about Pokémon 90% of the time anyways)
I don't particularly care to use dedicated forums for those types of things because I never really click with other gaming communities quite as well, and a majority of them are either a bit too slow or a bit too active for my taste.
(And hardly ever somewhere in-between)

It admittedly strikes me as a bit odd, to say the least, since I'm pretty sure people here play more than what is usually talked about.
It's not really a big deal either way, as it's more of a minor gripe than anything, it's just that I personally find it to be a tad monotonous having to always talk about the same, like, three things and not much else. *shrug*

Obviously I don't expect people to do anything about this, nor do I necessarily want anyone to, I just think about this a lot surprisingly.


personally i think its partially been because of the slow news and their respective fanbases.
id argue that sony has a fairly large following here, but everyone pretty much plays and talks about the more retro stuff, or things that are getting a remake. state of play was a pretty good example of how playstation is floundering as they pour most of their resources into presumably the PS5. we got days gone, mk11 (which is actually multiplatform), crash team racing skins, and a bunch of VR. all in all, not very interesting. sure playstation has some pretty sweet upcoming stuff, like death stranding and persona 5 royal, but we've seen next to nothing on either of those other than a handful of trailers, and the latter is rumored to be going multiplatform anyway.

xbox is... well, xbox. it has its exclusives, sure, but it largely feels like they try to cater to the "more popular" crowd that goes for games like FIFA and call of duty. theres nothing really inherently wrong with those, but also not much to talk about. hopefully that will change with their recent studio acquisitions, but as of now, they dont have a lot that appeals to our kind of audience.

dS is in a strange middle ground for gaming. its populated by hardcore gamers, but ones who are all ages. youll see everything from kids to parents on this site, with the majority being teens or young adults. even though this is a spyro site, i think the skylanders series and reignited trilogy brought people from the more family friendly and cheaper nintendo crowds. xboxes and playstations are expensive compared to the switch, let alone the 3DS, so i think the wider appeal of these consoles might play a part in why theyre so much more popular on the site.

TL;DR: nintendy cheap and for everyone, sony and xbox spency

People on this site talk about video games? I thought this site was about sexual orientation. (Not going to pretend I know what that means.)

While I understand what you're getting at, I'd like to point out that the Switch is the same price as the PlayStation 4 Slim and Xbox One S. I'm not surprised by the lack of interest in the latter, however.

(The Wii U wasn't cheap either, though we don't talk about that one shhh)


true, but theres also the cheaper rumored revisions and the 3DS.

im not surprised in lack of xbox interest either, but it also does seem like the people who talk about playstation only talk about the older stuff.

it was the year where you got x amount of "darkcoins" and could spend them on different things. there were several options but i only remember the title change (changing the sparx to literally anything it was fantastic) and the username change that cost more coins than we were given because dark is cheeky

We didn't get Hunters properly until a few years ago, but the rank's existed for quite some time.

So today I learned that if you click the dots underneath a topic with multiple pages, you can type in the page number you want, hit enter, and go to that page.

This apparently also works on every page, huh.

I think that Dark added that relatively recently, IIRC. I usually completely forget that it's a thing that you can do, though. lmao


I thought that feature was always there? I recall always being able to do that. Granted my memory isn’t fantastic and your definition of relatively recently may differ from mine but still.

Yeah, it's mostly since other people might take that as a chance to voice their concerns. Wanting to help is one thing but just be careful with how much has to be said.

and I mean yeah, I really want to go out and say that it feels like Drawdler is forcing herself to hate things to not be as attached to the point of visibly changing her viewpoint in the middle of a post to say X was never good, but it's been years since that's started and we can't really help with it because she never replies.

I’m hesitant to fall into the Persona hole. I’m not a huge fan of turn based combat but the aesthetic and characters of the games seem cool and i love the art style. I don’t know if I have to time and money to spend on the games and the hours to play all the games I can get my hands on if i were to get into the series. Because I can’t just play one, I’d want to play 4 and 3 and Q and maybe even the dancing games.

Also this is kind of dumb i know, but i’m afraid of liking all the characters and wanting to buy figures of them all :|| and that’s so much money holy god


This is what happened with Fate and like i’m not upset i got into fate, but it’s definitely a lot to take in and understand.

Does this sound stupid lol?

Understandable. I'm very hesitant to get into new anime series or pick up any new RPGs because of the commitment they require.

It's not the kind of game where you MUST play all though. It's not called semi-VN for nothing. You can engage with the characters just as much by watching let's plays as you can with the console, because they're mostly so easy to identify with.
