Hi, I busted out our New 3DSXL (new meaning model not condition) and it works perfectly fine except for one thing:

The X button is wonky. What I mean is that every other button seems to be working perfectly fine, but specifically the X button just does not work a % of the time. Trying to pause in a Pokemon game usually involves me pressing the X button like 5 or 6 times before it registers.

Everything else about this 3DS works fine. The front is fucked up looking but thats just visual, so uh...idk why the buttons like this x-x

Explain it to me like i'm 5 what I should do about it?

In this clip, Awesten says "Stop me if im out of pocket here, I don't think anyone has ever written a song like this before" and I'm not sure what he means?

If he means story songs, then there's obviously plenty of rock opera songs. Pink Floyd's The Wall has multiple, even bands in the genre of pop punk/pop rock have done it plenty of times.

If he means this many features, there's tons of songs with 5-6+ big names on them, if not more.

If he means songs with multiple characters in it, again there's plenty of rock opera songs that do that.

I genuinely am not sure what he means by no ones written a song like this before?

They're currently at 91 battles and seeing as most they've released lately have either been disliked (Nap vs Char, Trump vs Harris, Kong vs Godzilla) or very very short and not satisfying due to the extremely long wait (Baron vs Death, Nap vs Char), it makes me think they might just stop at 100 and become solely a touring act.

Thoughts?

They started work on a Commander Legends or Commander Masters type of product, then it got cancelled when they made the shift to no side sets and only standard legal ones. They took all the design ideas they already had and put them into this Commander Mystery Booster thing.

Meaning a movie thats a sequel and got a mixed or negative reaction, but if it was a standalone movie that was not a sequel and unrelated to the previous film(s), maybe changed a few character names, it would be perceived better? I can think of plenty of video game examples, but can't think of any movie ones off the top of my head, so was curious to see what other people think :)

IP's first single was Funeral Grey in May 2022. The album came out in April 2023. That is nearly a whole year of a decent bit of radio silence on shit.

JINX's first single was Red Guitar in July 2025 and the album came out in July 2026, and in that time it was a lot of radio silence on shit.

I know its way too early to talk about K, but when it does happen, I really think they need to have a more focused pre-release schedule. IMO it'd have felt better if, say, Red Guitar came out in maybe November 2025, then Lyrics came out in January or February with an album announcement, then we get Any Minute Now (Imo id have preferred Prowler as single 3 but whatever), in May or June. Wait until you know when the album is coming out and is done enough, but still have some wiggle room if you need to tweak stuff about it.

Heaven is the obvious one imo.

1.) Its SO nice to get a decent length album again. IP being barely 30 minutes hurt it a lot for me, though adding the IP2 tracks helps it.

2.) Im so thankful to hear them do rock again. I like their pop stuff but feel like the last few albums we got some sprinkles of Rock whereas this, im 5 tracks in and like 3/5 have been rock, which im SUPER thankful for.

3.) I suuuper hate IP for the most part so im happy to have an album im super digging in general from them again.

4.) Only listening to the first 2 singles and refusing to listen to the others until release is helping a LOT. I recommend you do the same for future albums you like!

Dunno if I'm an idiot or something, but the album comes out on the 23rd, right? But Spotify says its coming out in 1 day, 3 hours, 23 minutes, which would be the 24th? Albums usually release on Spotify at 9pm the day before, so I'm confused why its not coming out in 4 hours or why its not coming out at midnight, its not even coming out midday 23rd, but instead coming out at 10pm on the 23rd?
