fondly remembering the time i got high on edibles and ate an entire jar of kimchi while watching 2001 a space odyssey
i played the pikmin 4 demo over the weekend, and it was so cute that i preordered it!
i haven't played the other games in the series, but talking to some friends it seems that they were a lot more unforgiving with the time limits, which this most recent game seems to have reeled in quite a bit. there's still a day/night cycle, but i thought it was balanced nicely - the time freezes anytime you're in the underground sections (some haphazard explanation about how time moves more slowly in the caves lol), so you don't feel like you're not getting anything done each time you go exploring.
other things i liked:
- you can make your own lil guy for this one. i like my big noggin and hair buns.
- the team you're building up seem unique and cutely written.
- the colors of the suits of your team match whatever color you choose for yours.
- the dog-creature is v cute (and stupid).
- the big world feeling when you're just a lil guy.
- the stupidly good renders of random items, like a gba or a sweet potato. i feel like the artists got to have fun making them.
- overall art design is cute in general. i love the pikmin designs.
- it's just cute!!!
the controls will take some getting used to, as i always find with nintendo games. there were a few times where i accidentally threw my pikmin into the water and panic ran around trying to remember how to whistle to recall them before they drowned.
i'm definitely looking forward to playing the full game later this month. ☺️
I turned my themes into a more easily customizable theme. From the stylus extension button, you can change the background color, text, and accent color using a color picker.
It comes with 20 pre-made themes as well, some are shown in the image.
