Byleth fans coming up with new theories as to what bizzaro alternate universes (that don't involve removing previous FE characters) would prevent their character from disappointing people.
Jellystone has exposed me to the fact a devoted Hanna Barbera fandom, most of them people who weren't even alive when HB closed in 2001, even exists - and that makes me really happy. HB cartoons and their slow-yet-frantic pace aren't my style, but I can't deny there's some great concepts in their shows, they were masters of character design, and the studio has a fascinating history.
As reluctant as I am to praise this series, or more specifically its creator, for anything after what happened earlier this year, I think FNAF really unleashed a positive Pandora's Box for the next generation when it comes to preservation. Scott did his research on the CEC and Showbiz lore, incorporated it into FNAF, and that encouraged the Zoomer age to research these previously niche topics and not only birth a new age for the Chuck E. and Rockafire fandoms, but also create a fascination about the past's entertainment as a whole that will benefit everybody.
Chris Chan, to me, is the perfect example of the consequences of retribution. Punish a perpetrator and you've created a victim, turn a perpetrator into a victim and you've given them an excuse, give a perpetrator an excuse and they'll only get worse - this can apply whether you're looking at Christine's side of the story or the trolls'. All things considered the trolls' actions aren't much different from the current day concept of law enforcement, even in its most socially acceptable forms - take a person and ruin their life for revenge giddyness, justifying it by shifting the talk to their actions and not yours. Christine's violent comic books and tales of Mary Lee Walsh also aren't too far off from how real crime TV shows will ignore the perpetrator's side of the story and act confrontational or threatening with no true intent of helping them change, just locking them behind bars.
I cannot tell if this expression embodies ecstacy or dread.
After seeing this image I am extremely relieved to find out Funko Pop Soda is not a beverage and just a silly packaging design.
The Blue Shell would unironically be an amazing Smash fighter - you don't even need to give it hammerspace: spikes and wings - while indeed traits other fighters have - are barely used in Smash fighters' movesets. Let it extend and merge its spikes, give it the ability to retract its wings, combine that with its known traits of locking on and exploding and you've got a perfect template right there.
A lot of Smash characters were added due to requests from their creators - I wonder what would happen if a game dev or CEO with connections to Sakurai (specifically one who isn't repped in Smash already) asked for a character they didn't create or own? Like if Toby Fox said "don't put in a Sans costume, put in a Kumatora costume instead" during his visit to Sakurai's for example. Would Sakurai/Nintendo try to persuade (or even blackmail) them into allowing their own character? Would they completely ignore the request? Would they openly say that the character/costume was chosen by that person when they get in?
Scrimblo Bimblo design I made for the SSBI thread.
Reminder that Smash needs a true Game Boy rep.
You've seen Mufasa Gaming
Now get ready for Ellie Gaming
Mario Tennis is literally the only Mario spin-off where Bullet Bill could logically be playable.
Splatoon is basically just "paintball mode: the game".
When a lot of people say "Sega fan" they tend to just mean "Sonic and one specific semi-obscure Dreamcast/Saturn-era IP" fan.
Sorry GNN, that is the exact opposite of the kind of news I needed today.
SOUL SOULLESS 
So about that climate report...
We're gonna ban cryptocurrency and criminalise NFTs now, right?

One of my biggest regrets in life is when one of my Discord friends told me the Sonic movie is a "turn off your brain kind of movie" and I didn't respond "I guess you're saying I should SCRAP my BRAIN?"
I am not ready for the world where mass-produced, Illumination-branded Foreman Spike plushies litter supermarket shelves.
I consider the "Bri'ish" meme karma for us allowing Little Britain to exist.
I think a TV adaptation of Smash would need to be a comedy - whether it'd be an action-comedy or just a full on sitcom I don't know, but these characters were never meant to go together so there's really no option but to play off of that awkward unfamiliarity the characters would have to one another's tones and customs.
I'm certain that at some point getting in Smash will be seen less as "the ultimate honour" and more just as selling out.
YouTube cartoon reviewers: spend hours writing infuriated essays on why "it's just for kids" doesn't justify bad content
Also YouTube cartoon reviewers: "You want me to review a PBS show? What am I, a baby?"
"Piranha Plant is the first disposable enemy to be playable in Smash!"
Literally all except one of the playable Pokémon: "Am I a joke to you?"
Imagine having a low wi-fi connection to the point YouTube thumbnails won't load, getting a recommendation on YouTube from the verified ABC News account titled simply "The end of an era", and clicking on it in shock only to be greeted by
arthur ead once the video eventually loads.
I just found out different cultures have different ideas of how many lives cats have.
Pour one out for the poor German 90s kids who had to clear Bubsy with just 6 lives.
I've always considered Zelda to be less Link's Peach and more his Luigi.
A lot of Smash speculation fans really don't understand how false advertising laws work.
An official piece of Flintstones media acknowledging Grand Dad in some form is more a matter of "when" than "if"
Sakurai, 17 years ago: "I can't exactly see myself including Tails without Sonic"
"HOLY CRAP TAILS DECONFIRMED FOREVER! SHADOW TIME BABY!"
Sakurai, literally yesterday: "Sora will not be in the game. Disney were too greedy and demanding"
"HE'S LYING! BAIT AND SWITCH! SORA CONFIRMED! WHAT THE HELL IS A LIBEL LAW?"
As somebody from Britain, I can say that if Nintendo wanted a Smash pick to appeal to Bri'ish audiences, (like Terry does to Latinos, Banjo does to yanks, and everyone else does for Japan) Crash Bandicoot is the ideal choice - though some kind of microcomputer rep (be it a fighter, stage, whatever) would also draw a lot of attention here too.
It's funny how a lot of the people who complain about "90s nostalgia bias" in any fandom tend to themselves have "00s/10s nostalgia bias" under the same logic.
I'm hoping that Chris Chan being put in an international spotlight again will result in Kiwi Farms getting the MegaUpload treatment.
I don't know whether or not I want to ask what your profile picture is.
Quora be like:
"haha is cheese a loaf of milk"
"Well, as a dairy professional with over 50 years in practice, I can confirm that cheese is not indeed comparable to a loaf of bread due to multiple factors, beginning with-"
As Smash has got more popular they should've been able to take more risks and include more niche fighters due to lower probability of failure, but unfortunately it seems to be going the opposite way.
Named gumball Is comprised of gumballs I cannot find any similarities between these two that are related to gumballs 
I like how the Shantae Mii costume doesn't have a male model. I feel that was either mandated by WayForward (the existence of a "WayForward boob mandate" would not be even remotely surprising), or Namco knew what people were going to do with it. -
