I was planning to do an "every GBA Disney game ranked" list on Backloggd, but the first 2 games I ran into were:

Tokyo DisneySea, an unlocalised dialog driven rock paper scissors game
Aladdin, a port I can very clearly tell has awesome source material despite not having played it, but is so poorly optimised that it makes me want to die (in a joking sense)

and quickly figured out it wouldn't be worth the try, at least for the amount of games.

Been thinking about Foodfight a lot since that documentary came out, and looking at the infamously misleading DVD cover, I feel like there's a very specific aesthetic from the early 2010s, Frutiger Aero adjacent but without the futuristic element, nobody really talks about, that only really existed in promo material for bargain bin kids' media, where it's all curved barren terrain on perfect blue skies with perfect, individually rendered green grass - I assume this is the subconcious result of Windows XP Bliss being burned into everyone's heads for a whole decade

Say what you want about WB pushing "evil Superman", but at least that's something that logically makes sense on a basic level in-universe instead of being based on external fandom knowledge, and has not replaced the original character completely, "evil Scrappy Doo" is neither.

I don't get why people treat Sora getting in Smash as if it's some kind of selfless charity donation? Even if you don't share my view that Namco Smash, and especially the Ballot, is very cynical and marketing-driven; completely ignore/don't know that Sakurai has gone on record to saying Sora's negotiations were a matter of chance and not effort; and come up with some kind of gatekeepy reason as to why the many, many fans who didn't want Sora don't count, people act like this was equivalent to Nintendo feeding a billion orphans and not just an Exciting Gaming Moment.

Gets an honest job for harmless means
Is mostly polite to customers despite the questionable business practices he's being forced to work with, only ever losing his **** at a prank visit
Goes unpaid, fails his goal, and gets laughed at by his GF and FIL despite doing nothing wrong.
Cannot find another employer ever due to an ancient prophecy

Peak storytelling really

they should've put dry bones in skylanders instead of dk and bowser. that would've been epic.

I don't like how whenever Nintendo fans talk about non-Smash Nintendo crossovers, it's always Nintendo-to-Nintendo, with the exception of maybe Sonic or something. Get weird with it, you know? Give me a Pokemon Conquest or a Mario + Rabbids. Come up with a cartoon or anime crossover or something.

It's really funny to me that the Game Awards started as a segment on Spike TV. Every award, every reveal, every tear of pride or jealousy, is the legacy of CAN YOU FART SO HARD YOUR B-

I do think that #FreeMelee and the backlash towards 3D All-Stars, even though they probably didn't effect Nintendo's bottom line at all, even positively or indirectly, did make one thing about Nintendo change for the better, albeit more out of luckly timing than anything else: they were some of the first public corporate decisions made under Doug Bowser's Nintendo, and because that was the first impression, it basically killed any chance of Bowser successfully farming the parasocial clout Nintendo has weaponised since Howard & Nester in the 80s (and god did he try for a year or two), and allowed people to look back more critically on the likes of Reggie and Iwata as public figures.

As much as I want a good Bubsy game, I do admit that there would probably be an extremely antagonistic divide between long-time Bubsy fans and newcomers should that happen.

The intro of Caddicarus' "PS1 games for babies" video where he talks about kids' games being used as an excuse for lazy parents addicted to PS1 games to tell their spouses feels very suspiciously specific.

Only 5 minutes in and I already know this is an instant recommend - uh, CW: heavily censored CGI bobs

People complaining about gaming "becoming" reliant on "nostalgia pandering" is really funny because early 80s video games soundtracks were obsessed with ragtime and soul, genres that were popular in the 50s and 60s respectively.

the funko fusion trailer having a "big epic reveal" for funko freddy, the generic mascot nobody knows by name, getting zombified is really funny.

It's kinda weird how because of Mario Party, "party" is a gaming shorthand for "board game". It does feel apt, but also quite specific.

nasb2 fans actually praise their game and don't just use it as a means to **** on nasb1 challenge (impossible)

I actually really like how Multiversus' marketing is centered more on team-ups than battles. I've always felt crossover fan culture is a bit too focused on fighting and doesn't tend to explore friendship or team-ups or non-battle conflicts/sports as much as it should.

This year marks the first births that could potentially see SpongeBob enter the public domain within an average human lifespan.

I think about "YouTube Poop: Insert Quote From the Movie Here" every day, this isn't even an exaggeration.

the google play sonic thread is absolutely the first in-the-wild instance of engineered community-notes-bait.

I had a dream where Donkey Kong 64 was released into the public domain by accident, and it became a meme to put Lanky Kong in games, and even mainstream AAA studios were doing it.

Watching the Rerez Mad Cats video, and in the Switch era it feels insane that there was once a time where Nintendo's controllers were the gold standard and 3P controllers were fragile, sticky junk.

So, under the definition of anime that places it as "any animation with an Asian aesthetic", does that make Kung Fu Panda and Turning Red anime? Are the Mario Super Show and Hanna-Barbera Pac-Man anime? does The Simpsons temporarily become an anime whenever the family visit Asian countries? Is the mockbuster Mulan movie where she has 6 legs an anime?

Everyone Knows That being from a porno is not surprising IMO (I've seen weirder, Manha Manha was from a "semi-educational" sex film), but the audio quality of the full song barely being any better than the original upload is hilarious.

It's funny how the word "brawl" is associated with both the slowest and fastest platform fighters.

Smash Remix having a toggleable menu-option for a game-breaking crash fix - not a funny bug, but just a crash - is very funny. Admirable devotion to not tampering the base game content.

Wario Wario Wario · Apr 28, 2024

Maybe I'm just too side-character-first-pilled now, but I can't imagine anyone with a decent knowledge of Crash putting Cortex or Coco as his second rep in a Smash (or Smash-equivalent) roster.

"The old internet was a heavenly escape for autistic people, but now that has died because of insert modern internet thing people don't like here" my brother in christ did you ever engage with the old internet at all.

I like how the TTYD remake is still doubling down on the paper/cardboard texture aesthetic from Sticker Star.

Mr. Crime

Mr. Crime was a ghostly figure who followed and observed criminals, while encouraging them to commit acts of evil, like a devil on their shoulder. At the same time, he would often encourage law enforcement to gun down those same criminals, showing that his allegiance was only to violence and...

I'm grinding easy races to unlock all the exotic skins in CTRNF, and I honestly have no clue why. I have no plans to play as Honey Badger Yaya Panda or Solar Flare Zem any time soon.

The fact that nobody ever brings up Splatoon or Animal Crossing in Smash speculation feels less like someone adamantly insiting "the sky is not blue" and moreso like watching in anticipation as an alien that has crash landed on Earth at night is about to find out that the sky is blue.

Wario Wario Wario · Apr 27, 2024

Whenever a YouTuber says "back in the 2000s, every game had secrets, now everything is being leaked ahead of time" my anticipation-hating autistic ass will audibly exclaim "HELL YES!" on instinct before realising they mean that in a sorrowful way
