Do we know if Groove had time/budget crunch?

Just wondering if Nintendo or any devs have said anything about this, and google is far from helpful. Let me start by saying that overall I really liked the game! But in some parts it just feels... weirdly rushed or undercooked? Sorry if this turned into a bit of a long whiny post but these incongruities have been cooking in my head since release ^^"

Main thing everyone noticed and has complained about, the main menu looks SO out of place and boring, ​and there are very few themed remixes. Actually having no themed remixes at all would've felt more like it was on purpose lol. Just 5(?) out of 24, spread randomly through the game, feels like they had to say "eh, just ship what we already have". A shame since the ones we got are really great theme and art wise imo <3

The art style variety at least seems on purpose, except in some spots... Those frogs and cars have 0 animation, the rolling dolls, pudding bots and alien translators barely any. The opening card for soccer dreams 2 looks like an intern drew it and doesn't match 1 at all. Anatomy in the pop don't drop end screens is wack af. Also finally figured out why hop n slide bothered me so much, the pixel size is all over the place. Etc. Those only stand out more because there is a lot of good, lively, consistent art to compare it against!

And finally the music. The bangers do bang, but there are a bunch of tracks that feel super generic, use very limited instruments, and don't groove (hehe) with their minigame. They almost seem like rights-free tracks or demos that were just meant to ​indicate the beat until the real track was made.... but then they never got to make it. Main offenders imo are quick hands, can do, lightning bolting, and feeding the beast. They feel out of place :[ And again, they only stand out more bc of super satisfying songs like high five fever or germ aerobics. ​

It's hard to imagine time was the limiting factor, with the new release taking 10 years. But then again, maybe Nintendo got sick of waiting and started to​ rush the team exactly because of that ^^" Any insight is welcome!

Restore a word document that was autorecovered to older version?

Hi yall, pretty sure I'm f'd but figured this would be the place to ask. I was working in a word document, saved plenty of times, and put my laptop away for a while in sleep mode. Apparently, word decided to close and reopen while I was away, and I came back to an ""auto recovered"" version. Out of reflex I clicked save... only to see seconds later that this was actually a days older version of the document than I'd previously saved. And that I'd now saved this version on top of.

There are no other versions in the appdata, the file versions show nothing available, and there is no version history because apparently I wasn't logged in to my onedrive (thought that would be automatically connected when logging into office 365, but whatever).

Is there ANY other place it could have possibly saved a previous version? If not, is there at least a way to disable office apps closing and opening to update whenever they please?

This is especially maddening, because it has tracked all the time I spent working on it and left it open afterwards, all 5948 minutes of it. Unbelievably this is the second time this has happened to this particular document, I'm starting to feel like sisyphus.

(chapter 216) Why do you think Suo came to furin?

I hope this title is generic enough 😅 I'm not on here very often but the new chapter made me want to gather theories!

>!Now that we know Suo is an officer and not just a low rank member, and in such a close-knit organization too, why do you think he came to join bofurin? I think at least sabotage seems unlikely, since he only helped them. (side note, now it makes sense how he knew so much about being a leader, always having the perfect advice for Sakura!) !<

>!The most simple reason would be to escape something he didn't like in the red chanpuru - a person, things always being the same/boring, unnecessarily violent practices, stuff like that. He seemed pretty chill with being back though, at most wistful, which makes this seem less likely. But he's so unreadable, it's hard to tell. Maybe the police were cracking down on them and he had to lay low until that passed? !<

>!On the other hand he might have come looking for something. Like a runaway member hiding in the district, potential new members to recruit after their school time is up, or fresh new influences to his mixed fighting style. Or just gathering info on potential threats to Kasai, which would be a good reason to stick so closely to Nirei. !<

So many options!! Curious what yall think is likely or if there's any other possibilities I didn't think of!
