AW HELL NAH, DONKEY KONG IS COLONISING THE JUNGLE TO HOARD ALL OF THE BANANAS FOR HIMSELF?
I guess that's why it's called Donkey Kong Country...
I would lowkey absolutely adore a remake of Adventure on one condition - the remake should "update" the graphics of the original game, but specifically using the logic of the original game, without using external references like the box art.
For instance, the hero is now a cube as opposed to a square - Yorgle, Grundle and Rhindle still look like seahorses or ducks - and so on and so forth. It just seems like it'd be a really fun and cute way of doing that.
Random fun fact: despite not being typically able to see more than 50% of a spherical object's surface at any one time (presuming a singular point of view), you can actually see more than 50% of a neutron star's surface at once, despite it also being spherical. As for why? It's because of gravity - neutron stars are so dense that their gravity bends light enough to let you truly see both poles at once!
I don't understand the appeal that some people see in the idea of a "Cashless Society". Like, I genuinely do not see a benefit to a society in which all money is digital, not to mention the sheer number of drawbacks involved in it.
- Cyber-crime or digital fraud would become infinitely more damaging to economies around the world, not to mention effects we could never possibly consider like accidental damage or repairs that would just shut down the entire economy, not to mention what would happen if we had a ****ing solar flare
- All money is traceable, all financial transactions are traceable, and every cent you own is in the complete control of banks and other financial institutions. If the bank in question just so happens to lose all of your money from bad investments, like in 2008 for example, well **** you
- Oh, you're a small business that's trying to engage in literally any business whatsoever? I sure hope you've got enough money to pay for an inevitable subscription service to allow you to take money from people for your products. Also, say goodbye to garage sales, yard sales, lemonade stands, car boot sales and literally any other form of "unsanctioned" business of any form. Y'know, because companies like Amazon don't already take up enough of the market share for literally every product
Film Analysis Theory Criticism Concept Idea Observation: What if the unicorn in Blade Runner is intended to be a literal blade runner... as in, it runs, because it is a horse, and has a blade (horn) on its head. Therefore. A "blade runner", if you will. Like and subscribe for more
Seems as console names are currently being discussed, I feel like now's as good a time as any to just like toss out there - I personally think that the 3DS is genuinely one of the best names a console has ever had. In literally 3 characters, it indicates that it's a sequel/revision to the previous hardware (the DS), and has 3D capabilities as its central gimmick. That's fantastic
Not to try and sympathy-farm using personal anecdotes, but though I've been putting it off for weeks, I've finally actually gotten around to unpacking all of my stuff from when I moved out of my old place (about three years back, been bouncing around since then!) and bagging some stuff up to give away (I had no idea I had an entire cupboard in one of my drawers!)
God. It feels so weirdly cathartic to like, actually be here. I know that probably doesn't make any sense because we've been in this house since like late 2022 but man it feels good to finally be, like, organised.
Still haven't found my DSi though so I'm finally pretty certain it's been stolen after all. Rip me I guess LMAO
I can already hear him calling me profound, inspiring, and a pretentious little dip****. Love you Mothman. Muito real <3
There was a problem fetching the tweet
Time to start a real comment war: in terms of the Genesis Time Trax opening theme (by Tim Follin!), do you prefer the 50hz variant or the 60hz variant?
(For the record, I personally prefer the faster pace of the 60hz variant, but the 50hz variant is still cool!)
Fun thought to consider: There will never, ever be another "snow day" again. They're dead. Relics of a time gone past. With the advent of video calling and remote education, the inability to physically get to school will never again be an excuse not to be present.
Step by step, we walk to the gallows of our technological execution.
One thing I really like is when art pieces are used as inspiration for something completely different and other, especially when the original art pieces are then used (in that piece of fiction) as a part of the story itself. Probably the quintessential example of this would be Doctor Who's Silence, who are inspired by Edvard Munch's The Scream - though I'd also give a massive shoutout to JoJolion's [WONDER OF U], which is very clearly inspired by the works of René Magritte. Fantastic
broke: "Captain Toad can't be added to Smash because he can't jump and that's a central point of his game's actual gameplay"
woke: "Captain Toad could be a Pichu-sized heavyweight with a really low jump arc, which would make him mechanically unique"
baroque: "Add Blue Toad from new soup instead"
Random Trivia Question: Pete (from Animal Crossing), Sothis (from Fire Emblem: Three Houses), both Spring Man and Ninjara (from ARMS), and Per Landin (a Mojang Studios employee) have at least one thing in common. What is it?
mario kart 9 is real
Hello everyone! Just making a post to get some spiteful drivel off the front page. Make sure to get enough sleep and water - if you've not drank any in a hot minute, be sure to grab some if you can! Sorry you're all having to see this.
I'm genuinely beginning to become astounded by some of the decisions and evolutions that YouTube advertisers are trying to go for because honestly some of them are just so hilariously questionable that I can't help but look bemused before pressing the "Skip Ad" button. (For context, for some reason my laptop keels over and dies whenever I play YouTube on a browser, so I'm having to use my mobile that doesn't have adblock.)
The best example I've seen so far is this one advert which is skippable and the first words are like "Stay here for 15 seconds to improve your attention span... trust us, this is worth it..." and it's such an obviously barefaced attempt to keep you watching but it's like "Noooo, no no, we're working for your benefit, this will help you" and honestly that's kinda ****ing funny to me to be fair
Random question, because I'm kind of curious - Super Smash Bros. Brawl's base roster, aside from unlockables, consists of 23 characters, as seen in the image below. (Note that Zero Suit Samus is also included, but functions similarly to in the original game in how she's selected, plus Sheik and Zelda as unique characters too.)
If this were Brawl's entire roster upon release - including the cuts that this roster would entail - how would you feel about it, and what sort of effects do you think it'd have on the future of the Super Smash Bros. series?
This probably isn't news to anyone but the SMTV level-up theme (A Rain of Light and Shadow) goes so unbelievably hard
imagine if his name was actually "joe rogan experience" or "joe r. experience" and we just never realised it because it was hidden in plain sight
Radom question that just occurred to me - why do Smash (and the vast majority of other platfighters as a result) use % to indicate health? I understand that a traditional healthbar obviously wouldn't have worked - and that the continually increasing numbers make sense too so as to indicate the increasing damage - but the use of % almost feels kind of questionable in that, like... why a percentage?
I mean, it's not like there's any specifically notable things that happen at 100% or 200% or whatever, and I would have thought that something like HP would have worked - but then, was it to differentiate it from RPGs of the time where a number next to HP (ie, 420HP) would indicate that it's intended to reduce or something?
I don't know if this has been commented on or not but knowing my luck the answer to this would be really obvious ahaha
Out of curiosity - in terms of representing the Street Fighter series with a singular character in other media, which characters (aside from Ryu) do you think either do, or could, work well?
One random thing I really like in crossover materials is when a quirk or unintentional element of the original game is brought over in an interesting way that kind of makes sense whilst having its own take on the concept.
A good example of this is Kyosuke's sprites in Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millenium 2001. If you notice, not one of them actually has him ever clench his fist - which at first glance might seem like a weird point, until you realise why that is. In Rival Schools: United By Fate, the character models weren't capable of animating or replacing hands - resulting in a lot of characters, by default, having clenched fist poses as you might expect. Kyosuke, on the other hand, has an open-palmed pose - resulting in all of his attacks in that game being performed with said pose. Like, I don't think it's an element anyone would have really picked up on if it weren't included, but the fact that it was is such a cool element.
Side note. Check out this CVS2 lineup of him, Batsu and Hinata (given the other two appeared in his Level 3 super.) They look so goddamn GOOD here holy guacamole
the street fighter ex series' music is vastly underrated and this is a hill i will die on
speaking of street fighter music is it just me who's kind of annoyed that ultimate's entire selection of music from the franchise is literally just the soundtrack of super street fighter ii, especially considering the series' fantastic musical selection from throughout? kind of feels like a missed opportunity, especially when you compare it to snk's music selection funnily enough.
come to think of it there is a non-zero chance that the crimson chin will be added to nasb before timmy himself
Random thought but I lowkey think it'd have been so cool for Ultimate to have included just some downright weird stages here and there on top of the more obvious candidates for inclusion, partially so that the appropriate music could be added in some cases, but also because it'd be fun to see some genuinely weird inclusions that'd be really out there.
A couple of ideas I have in mind (of varying quality) are:
A Straight Up EarthBound Battle Seems As We're Not Allowed The Battle Themes For Some Reason
![]()
Okay so admittedly the MOTHER series has a ton of potential for a wide variety of stages, but at the same time, I feel like one of the most underrepresented parts of the MOTHER series is - perhaps ironically for a turn-based RPG series - the battle system. Considering the MOTHER series is pretty well-known for having a wide variety of weird enemies, trippy backgrounds, and awesome battle music, it's kind of a shame to see basically none of that represented.
How would this even look? I barely have any idea. I mean, instinctually, the first thought that comes to mind is that the various backgrounds can be similar in appearance to the really trippy ones seen in EarthBound. Hell, maybe depending on the different backgrounds, various EarthBound enemies might pop up from time to time. It'd also be pretty cool if the checkerboard UI were perhaps used for the stage itself, maybe as a deliberately "ethereal" one to link into the battle's vibes.
Seriously though, why are none of the EarthBound battle themes in Smash yet? That feels like a really weird omission.
Mario Paint
![]()
Surely it can't just be me who thinks that this could be a lot of fun, right? Sure, including Mario Paint music is at least part of the reason, but the idea of fighting on a hand-drawn stage with the UI overlay seems like it almost writes itself. Admittedly I wouldn't go the Mario Maker route of having the stage be randomly generated, but it'd be cute if the intro has the cursor rapidly draw the stage on which everyone then fights.
A Levitating Console Like From Mario Kart Double Dash or Mario Kart DS
![]()
Another weirdly underrepresented element of Nintendo's output is like, the actual consoles. I mean, even including them as Spirits could have been pretty fun, I suppose? Then again, my thought process here is that including an actual console in space would be just like, really interesting and kind of out there - plus it'd give you an opportunity to include console BIOS and the like if you wanted to go down that route.
Come to think of it, the Switch actually could have lended really well to this concept. Maybe it'd start with you fighting on a flat plane before the Joy-Cons are detached and act as platforms or something? I mean, its modular nature means you could do some pretty fun stuff with it that something like the Gamecube wouldn't lend itself to.
Radar Scope
![]()
Yes, it was a commercial failure, and I'm also certain that someone will point out that we technically already have a Radar Scope stage in the form of 75M (it's a whole thing), it's a game that occupies an interesting and really underrepresented era of Nintendo's history in some ways. Plus, you can't tell me that a stage based on this sort of visual style wouldn't go hard. Hell, it's kind of a shame that Nintendo's pre-DK history is mostly just represented through Mr. Game & Watch as well as the Sheriff and Color-TV Game 15. You could probably do a ton of cool things with Nintendo's various toys and cards. Actually, on that note,

I mean, the visual style alone would sell me, I'm not gonna lie. That aside, it's not like Nintendo refuse to recognise this as a prominent part of their history, and maybe you could use it as an excuse to include music from Clubhouse Games or something. Seriously, this feels like a natural idea. Why isn't it here yet.
Don't forget - Pokémon GO to the Polls!
Jokes aside, I have a random but important thing to ask of you all - please, if it's possible for you to, vote - and make sure you're registered to vote if you're in a country where that's necessary, such as the UK! (As for who you vote for, that's up to you, of course.)
Us ordinary people get screwed over enough, so it's really important that the major source of leverage we really get - the opportunity to vote - is something you go out of your way to exercise. I know things can seem hopeless at times what with everything going on in the world, but believe me - even if it seems useless, every vote counts. Including yours.
Love you all. (Stay hydrated!)
can't wait for the inevitable next year of films of wildly different tones being deliberately scheduled to release on the same day by various film studios so as to recreate the "barbenheimer" meme and gain "free publicity"
AI fans when AI neural networks, pulling from pretty much the entire internet's repository of images, start to pull a larger number of AI images due to AI becoming more socially prominent, continually degrading the products that the AI is actually putting out and eventually making it almost completely dependent on being within a closed system so as to avoid becoming completely useless because of the saturation of AI content currently on the internet:
Random question: in the future Smash games (because let's be honest, the series is too popular to kill off), are there any Nintendo-owned series or IP that haven't been included yet (or have only been included in very small roles) that you'd like to see?
I'm kind of curious because, come to think of it, there's quite a lot of smaller-scale IP that haven't really gotten much representation aside from either Brawl's Stickers or Ultimate's Spirits, and it'd be neat to see y'all's ideas!
As the number of pieces of mainstream media centring around the concept of the Multiverse increases, so too does the potential capacity for the logo of a brand of underwear to become a major plot point, or even a key lynchpin, in a multi-million Hollywood production.
Imagine, if you will, a world in which the mundane is fascinating - where the details and minutae of everyday life are questioned amongst the public consciousness - and wherein a cornucopia may come into being through naught but misremembered recollections. As it happens, those memories may have come not from a state of objective reality... but from a strange and esoteric realm that you may know as... the Twilight Zone.
Hey guys. I'm going to buy a local bakery. A couple of changes will be made, though.
- I'm firing all of the employees, effective immediately. I will be the only remaining employee.
- I will be plastering every inch of the bakery with advertisements. Including the food.
- I will constantly stand in the centre and berate the customers, as well as telling unfunny jokes and randomly submitting proposals to the local council that would benefit absolutely nobody.
- I will no longer be paying for any ingredients, or the upkeep of our equipment.
- You can be inside the bakery for up to four minutes. If you've been here before, you get five minutes. If you pay a monthly fee, you get ten minutes. After that point, leave immediately - I reserve the right to make fun of you for this.
- All journalists are banned indefinitely, unless they write positive reviews about both myself and the bakery.
- The child who keeps posting mean comments about me online is banned indefinitely.
- If you criticise me at all, you're banned indefinitely. I'll also send hundreds of people to harass you for the next week.
- I will change the bakery to a butchers', but only externally.
how long until we make actually important scientific discoveries that allow us to print animated gifs onto shirts
I don't know what it is about it, but whisper TTS just... hits different. Typical TTS feels stilted, but in whisper form, it almost feels stylised - like an actual choice as opposed to just a mediocre compromise. I'm not really sure why, but it just... feels better, somehow.
Genuine question: do you think that internet memes are (or can be) an actual art form? -
