I'm honestly not all too comfortable with one of Batman's tracks in DriDim being a mental hospital, but it is an iconic locale and the track that was voted in, so I guess I should respect that.

i have been clickbaited

So, apparently SSBU's offline input delay is partially due to the lighting system?

Great, more reasons to hate the desaturated look.

Gamers calling Pitfall and Space Invaders "Atari games", Final Fantasy 7 and Crash Bandicoot "Sony games", and Banjo-Kazooie and Mega Man "Nintendo games".

Gamers when grandma calls the Xbox "a Game Boy".

I don't get why people see "making a platform fighter better than Smash" as some unthinkable Hurculean trial, even from a casual "characters are characters" perspective.

Just got 5 blue jays, 6 jackdaws, 3 ravens, 2 magpies, 2 rooks, and a single chough.

(I'll be fine though, I've had worse common colds.)

Of all my arguments for Microsoft buying Rare being a net positive over a Nintendo buyout - Nintendo's unfamiliarity with online being ill fit with SoT and KI, the possibility of a DK/Banjo-game-making sweatshop, Rare Replay vs. 3D All-Stars, Tropical Freeze not existing. NoJ's disinterest in Conker, so on - I think the most effective one is be that we would've gotten Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers and the gigachad known as Mr. Pants would've remained a phased-out website mascot.

thinking about when kids wb made a cute "pikachu friendship playlist!" to promote detective pikachu and opened it with ryan reynolds' wacky comedy skit about neglecting his family as method acting

I had a dream where I was invited to a United Nations Discord server between all the world leaders, and Joe Biden was spaming this GIF in the #memes channel to piss off Ankhundzada.

I've always felt the perfect genre for an Xbox crossover game would be a vehicular combat game a la Twisted Metal/Vigilante 8/Cel Damage. It's a genre that's a little silly but also testosterone-pumped and intense, so it'd well accomidate both the Master Chief/Doomguy types and the Crash Bandicoot/Clippy types.

The only valid Pokémon to replace Jigglypuff with in fanmade Nintendo-based Smash rosters is Igglybuff.

I actually think I'd prefer a new PSASBR to have no third parties - not even Crash.

Philosophers in Mr. Enter's Growing Around universe after breaking into the hospital to hear the wisdom of the all-knowing newborns

I think CN PTE and PSASBR are both worse games than Ultimate, but there's also a lot more ideas, character choices, and features from them I appreciate over Ultimate.

IMO there are two Nintendo newcomers that would be justifiable additions to a full COGH Smash: a Nintendogs rep (be that a dog or Ted & Archie) and Goomba. Otherwise I think every grand-scheme important Nintendo character is already there.

A Min Min moveset even partially themed around restaurant ownership would've been way better than what we got.

I don't get why fart jokes make people so mad

Movie conspiracy theorists will be like "this PROVES the shared universe!" and it's literally one movie's characters watching the other as a fictional movie.

Nonsensically vague allegories and shoe replacement aside, the M&Ms rebrand is kinda weird to me (someone who knows way too much about M&M commercial lore) because they're trying to take the marketing in a more wholesome direction, which isn't a bad idea alone since that seems to be a trend lately after the meta snarkfest of the 2010s, but like... why keep the spokescandies? They're iconic, sure, but they were made for the dark comedy that was big in the late 90s - with the "dumb fat guy and smart snarky guy" dynamic - and not wholesome scenarios about someone's family accepting their full-body tattoos - whenever Red gets a snarky line in it feels out of place, a new candy cast would work a whole lot better.

What the hell does "Giving LEGS their SNAKES Back" mean? I think this is actually the dumbest recommendation I've ever gotten

finally. the pokemon/2 stupid dogs crossover we've been waiting for

I really like how every character in CNPTEXL has the same evil alt, I'd like to see Smash do something like that.

The purple M&M music video feels like it's supposed to be an allegory for some social issue, but is also completely undecipherable when viewed from such a lens

The idea of Clayfighter becoming to claymation what Mortal Kombat is to horror movies is a very funny idea, but also an objectively terrible one. I can't really imagine Aardman or Laika characters fitting in with CF's irreverant and unapologetically cartoony cast - plus the series already utilises parody and therefore could just make it's own wildly hilarious fair use-protected satirical characters like "Pingore" or "Frankenweiner" who could have the fart jokes and edgy one-liners their source material would prohibit.

I'm watching a response collab to Mr. Enter's Nicktoons review series, and I find it kinda funny how the reviewers with animal or white avatars say "Nick-O-Rama" very carefully and hesitantly while the reviewers with black avatars say it super fast.

I know it's just a case of the thread having a small playerbase and a certain member of it (me) being obsessed with Shrek and noses, but I love how the Expand-A-Franchise thread adds next to no content from games that released between Ultimate and whatever form this thread's content takes in-universe

I feel like being exposed to the mere thumbnail of this video is brainwashing me into supporting American interventionism.

I think one thing people often forget about the ballot was that fan rules weren't really questioned at the time like they are now - the results don't reflect current day Smash fandom. If Cloud was the first unique DLC instead of Ryu or made the base game I imagine the results would've been a lot different. Still dominated by Nintendo-associated characters mind you, but Chief, Kratos, and Sans certainly would've shot up at least. There was way more anti-PS and non-Rare-Xbox sentiment in Smash fandom at the time than now, to the point Kratos and Chief were outright considered jokes, and I don't think it really died down until SSBU's DLC.

I think a Mii successor should build off of Miitomo's editing functions, but also allow parts to be placed in areas other than the face and rotated on the Z axis so Miis are more distinct in games where they're seen from the back. Would probably have to make some good ol' Lego Universe Dong Detection Software and discontinue costumes for Miis in games like Smash and Mario Kart though.

I really wish there were more Sonic multiplayer (specifically sports) spin-offs. I think a franchise that revolves around speed could have a lot of fun takes on classic genres.

i saw this thumbnail in periphiral vision - i didn't process bowser being there and read it as "it's over" - for a brief second, i thought someone was trying to tell me the bad news about climate change with the super mario 256 font

thinking about the igor suicidal rabbit mcdonalds toy

God help me I can't get the "Totally Awesome Acme Snax" jingle from Animaniacs out of my head.

Childhood is when you idolise SEGA CD US BIOS V2

Adulthood is when you realise SEGA CD US BIOS V1 makes more sense.

I bet the Brawl video on Sakurai's channel will exclusively talk about the SSE as to avoid mentioning tripping.

I like how almost every single 90s Simpsons episode has it's own devoted oral history article, some of which are devoted to single gags

I can't be the only one who, as a kid, thought the whole point of Smash was "Mr. Game & Watch vs. Pit!" and all the heavy hitters like Mario and Pikachu were just there for marketing value, right?
