Open question: do you find that the inclusion of in-game fighter classification in fighting games is a good thing or unnecessary fluff, and do you prefer when it uses FGC terminology (ie, "zoner", "footsies", etc) or something entirely unique (ie, MVS's "mage", "assassin", etc)?

Random take, but I think it'd be cool to see more games include things like Missions or Event Matches or whatnot. One of my favourite elements of games like Sonic and SEGA All-Stars Racing or Super Smash Bros. Brawl was these fun bite-sized single-player morsels of unique gameplay, often with unique elements or requirements that let the game showcase different characters, mechanics, or otherwise in a fun way.

Taking Brawl as an example, having most of the Event Matches require you to play a certain character works well as a way of having the player get introduced to characters they might not otherwise play, as well as including funky tongue-in-cheek references (which I guess Spirit Battles are the ultimate evolution of?)

It'd be cool to see that kind of thing in more crossover games, given it's a fairly simple way of bolstering single-player content without too much extraneous stuff (like cutscenes, new mechanics or stages, etc) whilst still allowing for some interesting references and potentially a lot of fun for single-player content!

Out of curiosity - in response to the proliferation of the online... "trend" of committing crimes for the sake of online fame, or "clout-chasing", do you think that people who are charged with crimes that they committed for the sake of online content (TikTok, YouTube, or otherwise) should, on top of the charges they would ordinarily recieve, also recieve a temporary, legally-binding suspension from online spaces (or the Internet as a whole) for a certain amount of time?

I'm not actually trying to actively promote this, to be clear - I'm moreso curious what the concensus on this is. It's an idea I've heard floated a couple of times, though.

Something I'd love to see happen, though I'm fairly certain it'd end up being terrible, is a live-action series adaptation of Lupin IIIrd. I can't help but imagine that, if done in a very particular way, it could have the potential to be utterly fantastic... though, in practice, I'm fairly certain it'd end up being a failure. It's still something I'd like to see, though.

The thing I find really funny about "John Halo" is the fact that as much as it's a decently funny tongue-in-cheek commentary on the archetypical "male action hero from an American franchise" archetype, it's actually ****ing accurate given the Master Chief's name is literally "John-117". That's just... wow.

I don't really understand how the argument for phasing out cars, especially in urban spaces, is met by some as though you're a shill for the Second Soviet Union who wants to singlehandedly control the entire population through some nebulous attack on "muh freedom", whilst others will look at you as though you just suggested publically beheading heads of state

The concept of "society without cars" being as fundamentally alien to modern society as it is is a saddening and depressing sight, and the fact that the idea of even considering that "oh maybe giant mechanical objects that tear up our roads, murder our people, poison our air and banish us from our cities should be phased out given we have the technology to do so with like, relative ease" is seen by so many as this intensely radical idea comparable to proposing "yeah let's just do terrorism" is genuinely maddening to me

Random thought: I think it'd be cool for more mobile games to play with a concept akin to DS's Download Play. I'm not 100% sure how it'd actually do it - maybe with Bluetooth or some kind of local online functionality - but a simple and effective method to play with people close to you without needing to connect to external online servers or the Internet just seems like it'd be a lot of fun to see in more games nowadays. Not sure what the game would look like, but hey, the functionality would be awesome.

Say what you will about Wii Music, but the music in the game - not the music you play, but its actual OST - is honestly an underrated part of the "Wii Series's" soundscape. I wouldn't say there's "bangers" there, but the music's got a pleasant and relaxing aura to it that's refreshingly different compared to a lot of the other stuff in the series. I'd say check it out, there's some nice melodies there!

This is probably likely to be one of my stranger questions to you all, but I'm curious - those of you who're familiar with H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds, do you think the resolution (the Martians being susceptible to the common cold due to having never been exposed to it before, and all dying or fleeing as a result, though I'm not sure if I really need to spoil a plot point from a book written in 1898 but hey) is clever or contrived?

people are out here like "what power would you want" and i like always respond with "shapeshifting" but whilst the obvious answer for what i'd use it for is to appear in an ideal form, i almost wonder whether my ideal form would actually be like a fairly androgynous human or just an abstract mass of shapes and concepts because honestly i don't think i'd want a physical form if i had the option to like. just not bother with it?

guys is it normal to crave the lack of a corporeal form or is this another sign that i'm not fully sane

Imagine being the guy who made the original Backrooms post on 4chan now and like it's now this massive IP in its own right and people are trying to make a film about it and you will never, ever get recognition for it because you posted on an anonymous imageboard

one thing i find quite nice to watch is "man-on-the-street" segments from news broadcasts years ago, because (and i absolutely don't mean this in a mean way) it's genuinely comforting to see that ordinary people have always been a bit stupid and it's not completely just a modern phenomenon as people try and paint it

I was under the impression that I had forever missed the opportunity to acquire blåhaj because it had gone out of circulation and would only be sold by scalpers but according to blahaj.quest they're still being sold.

Do I go to IKEA (or just order online) and finally get one (this decision will affect the trajectory of the rest of my life)

why do they call it a mcrib? like it doesnt actually have ribs in it. its boneless. so its not exactly a "mcrib" because that implies the use of the branding prefix "mc" for mcdonalds and then "rib" as in like, ribs. but its not ribs. its a burger. who thought of this. who approved this

In practice, if you were tasked with eating an infinite number of bananas in a single sitting, you'd die of potassium poisoning long before the radiation from the bananas would kill you. (Approximately 480 bananas contains enough potassium to kill the average human male, given it literally stops your heart from beating.)

Contrary to popular belief, no, it's not only seven bananas that can kill you. Unless you choke on them, I guess.

Genuine question: if you have particular working hours, let's say 9-to-5, and you're an average employee of some kind, would you personally view it more as "arrive at 9, leave at 5, no ifs no buts" or "arrive before 9, leave after 5, no preperation during working hours"?

kinda wild to think that pokemon was the centre of another satanic moral crisis in the late 90s in the us because pastors were convinced that it was engaging in the summoning of demons when smt is literally just that

KneeOfJustice99 · Sep 25, 2023

random take but i'd love for a future smash title to have a "turbo mode" where every character has all endlag and most startlag removed and is never left inactionable in the air that'd be hellish and disgusting but god it'd look so good

I may be late to the whole Toaplan discussion going on in the Official Next Smash Speculation Thread, but one tangentially related anecdote I'd love to share is that in 2003, signs reading "All your base are belong to us. You have no chance to survive make your time." (in reference to Zero Wing) were posted up around a town in Michigan as an April Fool's Day joke but all seven people involved in it were arrested because the locals, thinking this had something to do with the war in Iraq, reported them as "terrorist threats"

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, what specific thing connects Captain Falcon, Byleth, and technically Dr. Mario?

KneeOfJustice99 · Sep 21, 2023

concept: project x zone 3 but the only nintendo character is dr. mario. not even mario himself or any of the monolith soft picks or fire emblem characters or anyone who would make sense, just dr. mario

The year is 2084. Speedrunners are attempting to raid the Large Hadron Collider in order to place a by now 99 year old NES console inside, get a random bitflip due to the creation of a new element and subsequent microscopic black hole, and beat Super Mario Bros. in 4:52 technically glitchless due to a "random hardware malfunction".

God himself looks down upon us in fear at the tasks, beyond even His utmost power, that we have wrought unto ourselves.

KneeOfJustice99 · Sep 19, 2023

One random change I'd personally make to a future Smash title's gameplay is that personally, I don't think characters should be left inactionable whilst airborne unless it's a very specific case where it'd make more sense. Sure, I don't think everyone should have infinite jumps or infinite recoveries or something silly like that, but it still feels kind of sucky when you use literally any of Meta Knight's moves in the air and it's like "oh guess i gotta wait to hit the ground again" even if I get that's moreso for balancing. Then again, this probably ties into my belief that balancing should ideally make everyone feel OP as opposed to making everyone feel bland lol
