So recently I went through a whole kerfuffle with a missing mail item. Made a complaint to the Royal Mail and asked the seller for a replacement. Now we’ve gone and found the original. Typical

I imagine most of us have seen the “representation was better when they weren’t trying” claims you get. Most recent one I saw was about Disney and used Princess and the Frog as an example. Fun fact they were actively trying with that film

Well Inside Out 2 was great

Interesting trip into town today. Half the people are in their pride get up the other half in bluey get up.

Well I've finished the reignited trilogy and I can honestly say I enjoyed my time with all three. Wacky 3D platformers are basically my happy place in gaming so that's not surprising.

Brothership is full of plug and socket based characters. I hope they took the chance for the chibi-robo reference

Found out Dreamlight Valley is adding two of Disney's best characters next week. good day for announcements

There's a certain degree of irony that the first loz game to star Zelda is in the same art style as the one game she doesn't appear in.

Spyro 3 is defiantly the one i remember, many bits of it are coming back to me along with the stuff i knew well. although i recall the baby dragons being cuter

As it is Father's Day let's give a shout out to the dads in smash: Bowser, Young Link, Olimar, Chrom, Robin, Math, Corrin, Fox, Shulk, Ken and potentially all the pokemon except Mewtwo and Pichu.

Last night I dreamt a regular Bob-Omb was playable in smash. His specials consisted of flinging himself in different directions

Either I've started hallucinating of Spyro 2 has a Scotland themed level populated with satyrs and fauns. Followed by a volcano level with Fauns with Irish accents. one way or the other I think I'm going to lie down.

there really aren't enough stories about an off shore gas refinery coming under attack from sentient seaweed

I was reading up on X-Men’s Krakoan Age. Then I saw a post suggesting Hideo Kojima was looking forward to the new Wallace & Gromit. I don’t know which was more confusing

I think I dreamt I was a blue version of the Hulk last night. whatever I'm taking before bed I need to stop

Alright Spyro I'm gonna give you another chance. But so help me if we glitch through the floor into a boss fight we can't beat again, we're through.

As much as Crash annoys me these days, part of me wants to give Spyro another chance

kudos to Aardman for going all in on the bird nostalgia

when people use their fans theories to back up there arguments that's when you know they're talking out of their backsides

The thing I don't get about Pixar's recent statement is how exactly do you prevent people from writing autobiographical stories? Unless you're planning on learning every detail of your writers' lives surely they can sneak it in any where?

The internet is now sending me images of Sakura and Syaoran being adorable together. Finally it gets something right

Now that I’ve mostly gotten over the over representation of FE characters in smash it is interesting to see how I feel about them now. Like say I’m playing a game against random CPUs and byleth comes up and I find myself thinking “ah you should have been so cool” Robin pops up and I think “it’s like I’m fighting a plank of wood”

Been on a slight X-Men kick since 97, might have to watch it again, part of me wants to try out some x-men comics i haven't read before. I have read quite a few good ones, Second Coming, Messiah Complex, Avengers vs X-Men and some of the classics Dark Phoenix, Days of Future Past, Proetus. but I kinda stopped reading a while ago and the last X-Men story i tried, Inhumans vs X-men, i felt was really bad.

Hang on, in the New Mutants movie they changed two of the characters to be lesbians rather than including the original team member who was already a lesbian? I know I’m a few years late to this but wtf?

Just finished TTYD remake. Still one of the best games ever

I do occasionally wonder what British shows apart from dr who get broadcast abroad. Well I suppose all the ones that have American versions must have at some point.

Got another opinion I wanted to ask of you relating to Zelda, but also involves a couple other game and even anime franchises. Fair warning, it will take a bit of explanation to get to the main question.

As part of my fandom for my favorite anime, Fairy Tail, I often think up ideas of crossovers that envision Fairy Tail characters as characters within other franchises I like. One of my favorites being Legend of Zelda (mostly Breath of the Wild focused) but the scenario I like to envision and write down details of the most also involves a couple aspects being pulled from a wider array of franchises like Xenoblade, RWBY, and Dragalia Lost.

One of the ideas I think about the most for these fun little fanon write-ups is there being 5 different energies that characters within this little private fanfiction of mine can utilize for their abilities. But lately I've been facing a bit of an internal struggle on if this 5 energies idea really works. For reasons such as it might make things feel a little too cluttered or that at the end of the day they might all be fundamentally too similar to each other for the idea of keeping them separate to really be sensible. And if you wouldn't mind, I wanted to ask your opinion on whether or not this 5 energies concept really works.

I think I would need to explain the details behind what I'm thinking for these 5 different energies, but that would make this comment a little too long for a topic that I don't even know you'd want to discuss yet. So before I say those details, I'll first ask if this is something you have an interest in sharing your opinion on or if it's a topic you don't feel like contributing to.

If I’m understanding right, you’re quite the Zelda fan. Which is why I wanted to ask you your opinion on a moment from Skyward Sword.

It’s the part of the cutscene at the end of the Earth Temple where Impa berates Link for taking too long to reach where Zelda was captured.

When I first played the game I felt pretty infuriated by this moment, but in the modern day I feel like there are parts of the context I haven’t fully grasped yet that make this moment understandable.

I was wondering where you stand on this.

as of this Tuesday coming I'll have given all of WDAS 62 films a mini review on my show.

20 years on and TTYD still makes me laugh

anyone else feel bad for all the minor mutant characters who never make the x-men films, tv shows and games?

Whelp I'm overwhelmed by nostalgia.

TTYD advice number two. in chapter 3 only eat the first cake

With the TTYD remake just around the corner I'd like to give the newcomers some advice if I may. In the hub town you'll find a place called the Trouble Centre. It's basically the game's source of side quests so you might check it out anyway. The quests are quite varied with some prizes may seem a little simple, but it is worth doing as many of them as you can.

It’s funny how no matter how often they do the someone blocks cyclops’ powers so we can see his eyes, no one remembers that his eyes are red in the comics

Of all the discourse Wish has garnered I gotta say the most annoying is the one where they say the main character is evil and the bad guy is good. The logic behind it is always so bad. I mean hate the movie if you must be trying say things are the wrong way round is just dumb

One thing I'd like to note about X-Men 97 ahead of the series final on wed is that it has more, what's the right phrase, it has more bite that the original series. Or it doesn't pull any punches. You look at the original series and there versions of Dark Phoenix and Proteus and they've been toned downed from the comics. But in 97 with their versions of the genosha massacre and magneto ripping the metal from wolverine's bones they did not hold back.

So I've read EA is planning to add adverts into their games. Who'd have thought they'd inspire a collab between modders and ad blockers

Very unsettling to see yellow residue coming from the rain

A conversation I’ve had has led me to the strange thought experiment of picturing Tim Curry as an Ace Attorney prosecutor
