Every time I criticise the structure Fighters' Passes the only counterarguments I tend to get are either "don't like, don't buy/blame yourself" or "you're just mad they didn't add your most wanted!" - both of which are greatly missing the point. Even if Byleth wasn't a thing or Scrimblos; Swordguys; and Rootem Shootems lived in harmony, it'd still be extremely scummy to let people pay £22 to buy a mystery product with no option of refunds - no matter how many vaguely worded "only buy if you're certain!" warnings they give.

One of the weirder Smash music snubs, IMO, is Aquatic Ambience. It's such an iconic DK song and regardless of whether it's battle-fit or not it feels kinda weird for it to be absent.

Hell, I'd argue the original AA is more battle-fit than Ice Cave Chant is.

There are a ton of songs I cannot listen to without hearing HHGregg - some of them don't even have HHGregg remixes on YouTube.

Are you more of a "TV Tropes Nightmare Fuel/Arthur" type, or a "TV Tropes Heartwarming/Breaking Bad" type?

I like how this video's thumbnail completely contradicts the title by showing an image that is pretty normal to anyone who's lived in a Western capitalist society.

The aesthetic juxtaposition of 90s-era Hunchback of Notre Dame merchandise is a mood.

EXCUSE ME

Having grown up being afraid to swear around family members (and still being scared to do so at age 19), finding out "crap" isn't a swear word was like that Thanos meme where he gets the stones.

Generally I've been an advocate for localised games taking major creative liberties with their source material - that being said, thank god the EarthBound localisation didn't replace Paula's frying pan with a blowgun.

Ironic Squid Game memes appeared before unironic Squid Game memes did.

It's like pre-emptive self-defence in the one-sided meme class war.

It's funny how the new remixes from Brawl can for the most part either be split into "same song with different instruments" or "only thing the same is chord progression".

If, in some hypothetical universe, Mario was a newcomer in a non-Nintendo-made Smash, they could do the music-changing thing Mementos does but for all the Mario subseries. You could have an NSMB theme for 2D platformers, SM64 theme for 3D platformers, then Mario Kart; Yoshi's Island; Wario Land; WarioWare; and DKC themes for those respective franchises - maybe even a classic DK theme for pre-SMB Mario games and a Dr. Mario theme for quirky (non-RPG) spin-offs.

I think I may have accidentally killed the Roster Curation thread by making a super long, extremely niche roster you have to remove 84 out of 148 entries from while also putting 16 of them into an extra category.

on the Disney platform fighter creation thread I submitted Monsters Inc. with the writeup being entirely just "Monsters Inc." - somehow it won, and I'm not sure if that's a testament to just how beloved MI is, or a testament to how uhh... lacking... the other submissions for the first repped Pixar movie were. (Brave and Onward got submitted, but not Toy Story or Up).

The thing about pipe dreams is that, should they come true, you'll more often than not find those pipes to be rusty and filled with asbestos.

Monika is probably the most ridiculous character I've ever seen request for Smash - and that includes ironic Shrek/Home Depot requests. Like, who plays an existential horror game about a teenage girl discovering the boundaries of her universe and brainwashing her classmates to the point of suicide so she can win someone's heart then says "put it in Smash!"?

If you want a "glitchy fighter", you would have better luck getting Nintendo to acknowledge MissingNo or approve of the Game Genie - because at least those characters don't fly past the lines of good taste in this context.

Also, I think that adding a character created by an ex-PM dev would be more of an insult than anything considering Nintendo have actively tried to indirectly kill that mod and Namco have learned nothing from its popularity.

Me realising Sora in Smash doesn't mean a rerelease of Uniracers.

Wario Wario Wario · Oct 16, 2021

Ah yes, this game has absolutely no dark greens.

I was watching a YouTube video of British kids' show intros, and I think this intro may have been the most bat**** insane minute of my life.

I bet that in a decade's time, zoomers will be debating "Nick Brawl vs. Smash Ultimate" like how their ancestors debated CTR vs. Mario Kart

Nathaniel Brandy's "How X TRIGGERS You!" videos are basically just your typical angry gamer schtick but with the basics of comedic timing replaced with a title that makes fun of PTSD victims.

I remember people saying that genetically, Hat Kid could be Mario and Peach's daughter - but I want to propose a counter-theory

Mario had a moustache in his early years - if we are to believe pre-pubescent facial hair is a genetic trait...

I googled "Donkey Kong Disney" to find out if I'm the only person who's noticed how Disney-esque the original DKC games are tonally... and found this.

I can't find the version of Amogus Bitcoin Bubble where Amogus has one eye instead of a visor. Help me.

The motion control dancing final bosses in WarioWare games are always inhumanly intense - they're not even hard, I usually get them first try, they're just... tense.

If Doomguy ever gets in Smash I really hope his stage is a retro stage.

Most instances where the word "sphere" is used are usually contexts where "ball" would be innapropriate.

I know this comes mere seconds off of a post about how we shouldn't worship higher-ups at mega corporations buuuuut...

Putting Sakurai himself in Smash in any form - be it as a Spirit, meta-boss, playable fighter, whatever - would have a catastrophic effect on Smash and overall Nintendo fandom. We'd have wars between "worshippers" and "haters", (very just) cries of narcissism, Nintendo fans learning what "consumerism" and "idol worship" mean the hard way, those aforementioned fans and detractors turning sides... It'd be worse than Byleth, worse than the Waluigi AT, worse than Federation Force, worse than Grinch Leak, possibly even worse than SwSh, it'd be HELL.

It's really sad how so many people like to warp the beautiful message of "different is good" into a more scummy "inequality is good" and vice versa.

Most things people use as evidence of "shared universes" seem more like evidence to the contrary.

The Charlie and the Chocolate Factory/Batman "Tim Burton shared universe" example for one - if Smylex (poisonous gas) came before Smilex (toothpaste), why would the company making it want to be associated with the poison gas? and if Smilex came first why aren't they suing the Joker for ruining their good name?

My least favourite trope - like, at all - is the forgiveness bait and switch. You can have the protagonist do that against any kind of villain, no matter how cataclysmic their actions are or how little remorse they show, and it'll instantly make both the villain more symphatheitc and the "hero" significantly less sympathethic

I really hope Namco get the rights to Ms. Pac-Man back soon, her most recent design is the best she's looked in history. A lot more distinct from Pac with a perfectly 80s colour palette. Only thing I'd change is her eyebrows and possibly the specific shade of yellow.

If NFTs were my only viable way out of crippling debt that could starve me to death if unchecked, I'd happily starve.

The Despicable Me DS game is one of the most bizarre instances of early installment weirdness I know - you would never see Minions this varied in a modern day DM product.

NSO Expansion Pa(c)k is cheaper than I expected.

But that's more an insult than a compliment.
