I guess going off of the Vimm news, I think the perfect length for copyright is 35 years. That way, either all the nostalgia bank will have dried up, or the IP is now part of cultural fabric.

RIP Vimm's Lair.
Correction about something I posted yesterday: the Star Wars Hotel is not a cruise ship. The fact I could get 3 hours into a video essay about it and confidently believe it was a cruise ship on water until the concept of getting a bus to and fro the hotel is mentioned just shows how dumb this whole thing is.
I still think the "cargo smuggling" storyline is questionable.
can't wait for all the incomprehensible discourse about the new dunkey sonic adventure video even though he doesn't really say anything either negative or positive about the game other than it... having bugs and being worse than mario 64.
I'm watching the Star Wars hotel video essay, and I just find it really weird that a cruise ship would have any kind of diegetic imagery related to "cargo smuggling". It's not inapproprate subject matter per say, and it'd probably be fine at a theme park where the hotel and attractions are well-seperated, but as something on a cruise ship? Where there's actual luggage within close proximity of The Game Thing? It's like having a "pretend to eat people's faces as a leopard" event at a zoo.
if i went to the star wars hotel, asked a cast member about glup pooppo, and they said something that would imply they were real, would that retroactively make them disney canon

I've been starting to warm up a bit to the idea of live service Smash. If they want to please everyone with their rosters, this is the only way they can do it.
As a whole, I've never inherently minded the idea of a large Smash roster, even though I may have said some things that imply otherwise. Other external factors simply make the way Smash handles it currently bad (attempts at competitive appeal, prestiege marketing that poses Smash as akin to a knightship, and generally bad roster decisions in particular) - in a game that leans heavy on online F4A and has a rapid stream of new characters of varying hype factor, it would be perfect.
I've been negative enough today, so here's some positivity: Heathcliff seems to be starting another Meat Week

This is horrible news, oh my god. I was really excited to see where post-Lassetter Pixar goes too, but rip.
Pixar is now focusing on films with “clear mass appeal” with less focus on directors’ “autobiographical tales” like ‘Luca’ and ‘Turning Red’

One weird response that comes up a lot when I say a game is better than its sequel (64/Melee and NASB1 specifically) is "you're disrespecting all the hard work the devs put into it!" and like... in a charitable reading, that's mild emotional manipulation, and at worst, that's a hypocritically backhanded way of saying the first game took no effort to make in disguise as a complement.
Disqualifying DKC (it's British, it was born from the ribs of the C64 SID chip, unfair advantage), first-party Nintendo music peaked here:
Shoutouts to Muda Kingdom from SML1, Moonman's Fandango from Galactic Pinball, and Dire Dire Docks too

weird/obscure thing
While my primary issue with them is their insistance on having genuine stakes instead of just being a silly fun adventure with multiversal friends, I think one of the things serverely missing from Smash's story modes is an element of "meta" - not in the sense of "Isn't this all a bit weird? Wink wink nudge nudge" but in the sense of "these are video game characters inside a video game." The only thing Smash's characters have in common - even within just the first party lineup - is video games, it makes no sense to put them together into a story and not tell a story that is directly, non-allegorically (in case someone brings up the MatPat theories) about video games. They don't even have to be aware they're in a video game necessarily
I'm surprised nobody has brought up that Multiversus' rifts mode actually has pre-rendered CGI cutscenes. You'd think with the lack of cutscenes being such a major criticism of modern Smash, that'd be something people would be gassing up hard. I guess 2 out of 3 thus far are performing double duty as trailers, but still.
oh my god jim henson was ahead of the curve on the market for "cartoon characters paying taxes"
The Muppet Income Tax Show
The Muppet Income Tax Show was the working title of one of several 1970s proposals for Muppet specials built around holidays or seasonal events, similar to the aired The Muppets Valentine Show.[1] Less of a traditional holiday, The Muppet Income Tax Show took the concept of taxes and paired it...muppet.fandom.com

NASB1 REVIVED MY GRANDMA
I have mixed feelings looking back on K. Rool's inclusion in Smash. On one hand, he's one of the best designed SSBU newcomers, a really fun character, and represents a great classic game series - but on the other, he got in through the ballot, which I feel was super exploitative; he contributes to the major issues of SSBU's roster being too monetarily-minded by being a fan demand pick; and a lot of his supporters did have a kinda strange (even if not necesarilly malicious) ulterior motive where they wanted him as a trojan horse to get him in a new DK platformer and not Smash alone. I might just be thinking of this negatively because being so excited for K. Rool was a bit of a minor trauma for me, but still.

Wait, so when Nintendo was accused of union busting, they were actually found guilty??? Why did nobody talk about this???
Absolute legend
Video Game Music Legend Geoff Follin Has Passed Away
Geoff and sibling Tim were responsible for some of the best soundtracks everwww.timeextension.com
I just read the officially-released Pibby storyboard and it's both sad and a little funny how people were expecting the show to be a commentary on strict corporate possession of dormant IP when in reality it seems to more be taking aim at meme and remix culture in a kinda spiteful way.
It's weird too, because despite that "don't corrupt our precious IP" vibe, it (at least judging from this probably-non-final storyboard) also seems very resentful towards the kind of show Pibby as a character is pastiching - Pibby's friends seem less like "over-sheltered innocents in a scary situation" and more "absolute idiots who walk into death like lemmings", feels a lot more Happy Tree Friends than the relatively serious tone of the trailer.
The Simpsons Game is probably the single game I've gotten the most YouTube reccomendations calling "forgotten".
I like to call Twitter "Twitter X" because it makes it sound like an edgy late 90s/early 2000s reboot.
It's always weird to go on any other Smash discussion place and be reminded that common SmashBoards takes aren't particularly popular opinion.
A moment of silence for everyone born in 2007 or later. They will never be Time Person of the Year.
If I manage to make game design an actual career, I WILL make a NASB1 spiritual successor and there's nothing you can do to stop me.
yo wtf they put a discord bot in multiversus

The fact that the main criticism of Fraymakers is "the animation is TOO GOOD" feels really emblematic of the wider platform fighting community's strange priorities.
So I can't play MVS OFFLINE when it's down for maintenance?
Oh dios mio
i am reading the multiversus bios, and god they are obsessed with the phrase "protector of the innocent".
I love the juxtaposition of one of the Title.WMAs sounding you're ascending to godhood and the other being European vacation music
