The popularity of Gir from Invader Zim is so surreal to me. Like, imagine if SpongeBob was cancelled after a season and a half of terrible ratings, but GIFs of Squidward became so popular with grumpy atheists on MySpace that Nickelodeon just started pumping out Squidward kigurumis and "I Really Wish I Wasn't Here Right Now" buttons without making any new content.

Just found out about an obscure Capcom game that would make a perfect Byleth stage for EAC

I don't know what marketing wizardry Nintendo pulled off that made the world stop making piss jokes about the Wii after it was revealed.

E3 audience if I ran Smash (You guys asked for important, iconic gaming characters - why are you upset over the Subway Surfer Jake and Colossal Cave Adventurer double-reveal?)

Reminder that we've (already) finished the SSBU base game (kinda), submitting echoes and stages for Isabelle and Incineroar!

When I hear the name "Kalos", I don't think "Pokemon version of France", but instead "A square with two thin rectangles to the left and right of it". Pokemon Y was the second game I ever beat without cheats.

I've been Functionpilled to the point of no return.

I read the Wikipedia article about Flappy Bird and saw an unsourced statement that the bird's name is "Faby". I thought this was a funny Julius Pringles misinformation moment, but then I looked it up and there actually is a legit source they just didn't link. Very disappointed.

Wikis that are written as if they're wikis from the universe in question are annoying as hell. Would it kill you to just put a "Played by..." or "first appearance..." in the infobox? I don't want to scroll down to the "behind the scenes" section.

Tears of the kingdom? No, that's just called a dam breaking. Geographical locations can't make bodily fluids.

Ohio memes are the Goku for Smash of memes. I've only ever seen people complain about them.

remember when the last nintendo direct was announced and everybody on this site was just like "ok" while one of the mods was spamming sakurai gifs to try and drum up hype for the corporation they don't work for.

It really annoys me how it seems my generation of 00s/10s kids have completely neglected learning from the mistakes of 80s/90s kid fandom, and also chosen to extend the generational wars into an attack on earlier generations of nostalgia too.

I like the idea of an Amingo-style OC fighter in Smash in concept, but given how Smash has handled original worlds and characters in the past, I'd rather not risk it. Maybe something more Sonson-adjacent, a new character from an existing universe, could work well under Sakurai though.

Wario Wario Wario · May 10, 2023

I'm generally not one to get mad at "mischaracterization" - I actually love how people can take one thing, and twist it into their own different thing - but god damn, I hate seeing every single silent game protagonist homogenized into a "uber-talented ultra-powerful badass" and having their silence interpreted diegetically.

I have never been as equally "I love this" and "I hate this" about a game than I have about Mouse, On one hand, I think "evil Mickey" is really overdone and IMO they should've gone for either a different species or a different style of drawing mouse ears; and I'm just not really an FPS guy unless it's on-rails - but on the other hand, the combination of 30s cartoon styles and 30s gangster stories is absolutely perfect; 2D sprites on 3D backgrounds always hits well for me; and it's great to see more 100% black & white games out there - I especially like how they didn't pull a Madworld and make the blood red. (not that Madworld looks bad or anything, just that red blood would look out of place in this specific game)

I watched a video essay about the Wiggles a while back, and assumed it was satire because of the melodramatic tone of voice the videomaker had... now, I've watched the Defunctland Wiggles video and I realise that they were 100% correct.

The Gimmick NES port has the corny Scandinavian art as a selectable border. EOTY (emulation of the year) material for that alone.

Best song in EAC, no contest

Wario Wario Wario · May 9, 2023

Saying this as a noob so I'm probably completely wrong here, but I'm surprised Mike is the one people find OP in Speedstorm and not Belle - Mike's doors are easy to avoid, but Belle has an extremely fast boost charge, and gets double boosts basically every other box

Tim Curry still does voice work, there's still time to hire him as Waluigi. Please.

I dislike when people make fanmade "Captain N reboots" but then have the characters act and look as close to the source material as possible. Like, hell no, at that point it just isn't Captain N anymore, just a Smash story mode.

Bayo Echo: Shantae Another dancing, hair-wielding heroine, this half-genie is Ret-2-Go! She doesn't have Bullet Arts or Bat Within, but is a little heavier, more nimble, and harder to hit due to being shorter. Shantae's jab is a single ponytail whip. It's fairly easy to spam. Up tilt has...

Speedstorm is fun. No CTR, but what is? Monetization is rather intrusive and unfortunately features lootboxes instead of just purchasing characters - I have a feeling I'll be stuck with just Mickey, Donald, and Baloo for a while - but I do like that they let you trial other characters every now and then. The whole "epic gamer" aesthetic gels a lot better with me than I expected. The promo art and short trailer snippets don't do the tracks themselves justice, they're a lot more true to their source material than you'd think. Weirdly, the game rewards you more for single player story mode than online play?

I feel like you can make virtually any prospective Smash character seem unappealing by describing them as a list of partially-correct adjectives preceded by "generic" and followed by "guy".

"You really want a generic spinny blue rat guy?"
"You really want a generic giant angry monkey guy?"
"You really want a generic pointy-eared elf sword guy?"
"You really want a generic green space gun guy?"

I'm sorry about the mega-

"stop having fun!" vibes I'm about to unleash, but I always get annoyed by "what superpower would you choose IRL?" discussions because nobody actually considers what power is the most practical.

I genuinely could not imagine anything more useless than a real life Kamehameha.

the backstory of disney speedstorm is that an out-of-operation arcade game became self-aware, saw mulan on tv, and simped for her so hard that it somehow repaired itself

Just purchased the Disney Speedstorm "founders' pack" (I don't get that name? I'm not founding the game? If I was, it'd have way more Goofy Movie, Wonderland, and Great Mouse Detective) - not sure if I'll regret this or not.
