This is genuinely one of the most surreal gaming advertisements ever - not because it has weird imagery or little to do with the source material it's advertising, it's a very typical 2010s-parody-of-90s-infomercials, fitting for a game filled with 90s characters, but just because I don't get why they would make a trailer for these dinky little alt costumes, especially when VA and items were just randomly shadow-dropped on Twitter.

I am just now learning of the Olympic ceremony opening where a giant Voldemort attacks a children's hospital ward, followed by millions of Mary Poppinses descending to fight him.

I imagine that the themed wheels in DriDim are animated to spin a lot slower than generic wheels, though this doesn't effect car stats.

Sora in the White Wilderness world when he sees all the filmmakers that threw lemmings off of cliffs fuse into a giant monster lemming. (He doesn't have enough magic points to use the Shnookums and Meat summon)

I feel like Smash's stage selection is simultaneously its biggest (possibly even only) edge over other platform fighters, but also its biggest disadvantage against traditional fighters. - like, on one hand, casual based Smash stages have way more fun layouts than casual based stages in other platform fighters, which tend to feel like an afterthought (and, well, they are most of the time!) - but on the other hand, Smash stages are usually really dull to look at, and and tend to lack a lot of eyecatching elements and setpieces, especially in the omega forms, which tend to outright remove the original casual form platforms instead of shifting them to the back as setpieces.

Compare Fighting Climax GHZ to Smash GHZ and it's pretty clear which one wins out visually - it's all the same elements from STH1, and even a very similar placement, but one is just more fun for the eyes to dart around and observe.

I can't believe pirated movies are so normalized nowadays! Permanent marker DVDs back in the day would either be so loud they'd send you flying out the room or so quiet you'd need to set the TV to max.

In the UK, we have school uniforms - they aren't enforced, but they're still there and generally followed - so the concept of dress codes is frankly horrific to me. Schools will just have signs outside that read "DRESS CODE: do not wear..." and then just list off every single clothing item popular with non-white cultures? What the ****?????

i saw the dnf duel logo as a dinky little favicon on gamebanana and thought it said "DAFFY DUCK"

Protagonist-first roster selections, even the perfectly reasonable ones out-universe, are kinda funny from a diegetic perspective. Imagine if you were a powerful witch, mad scientist, or prodigal martial artist and the lazy boss from your game development side hustle was invited to prestigious fight club.

Wario Wario Wario · Jul 15, 2023

I like it when my films, TV, and games are "insincere" and just mock me for liking it. I think it's funny.

I like how you can tell that the Gex rerelease trailer was scripted right when all the GoldenEye rumours were going around, but those got resolved before they finished it.

If I was to do another creation thread, I think I might do another Smash thread, but with a laser focus on stages, since that was basically the main draw of both SMSB and EAC.

Whenever I see solo Luma on a Mario game roster, I can always respect it. I wouldn't play as it, but I have a deep respect for the choice to include it.

Wario Wario Wario · Jul 13, 2023

I actually really like what I've seen from Arzette so far beyond the novelty factor - it feels like they very carefully chose which flaws are endearing and which flaws are detrimental (notice how you can actually tell which parts of the stages are tangible), and didn't completely forget that the CDi games did have redeeming qualities.

Wario Wario Wario · Jul 13, 2023

I find the inclusions of Shredder and April specifically in NASB really funny for some reason - I can't put my finger on it, I don't think they're bad picks; I'm used to TMNT being a Nick brand; Shredder's battle abilities here are some of the tamest he's ever had; and I don't find the other two turtles' exclusion particularly funny, but there's something kinda humourous about seeing these two characters specifically stand next to Nicktoon C-listers like Jenny and Oblina that I don't really get from the main turtles and Garfield.

I'm surprised by how recent the submissions for DriDim's preschool job were - I was expecting there to be more of a nostalgia emphasis.

Wario Wario Wario · Jul 13, 2023

Infinite's back and already they're forcing specific gimmicks into submissions again.

Yaaaay.

Mario Maker 2 online vs. is the most toxic game I've ever played

Wario Wario Wario · Jul 12, 2023

everytime i find out about a new offensive stereotype i am just flabbergasted. "black people can't swim" "jewish cis men get periods" where the **** do bigots get these insane ideas from. they aren't even particularly damning.

I really don't want to get into the whole "Dreamworks Good Disney Bad" discourse, both can make good movies, a lot of these comparisons are nonsensical, and a fair few of the people peddling this have real bad motives, but at the same time I will say...

The Bad Guys handled themes of implicit bias way better than Zootopia did.

sometimes i wish i bought the creepy eyeball goblin or hello kitty dlc for banana mania but then i remember that they were 5 pounds a pop

Wario Wario Wario · Jul 11, 2023

So, I've made it clear previously that this movie gives me weird accidentally-racist Angry Birds vibes... I just watched a review and... oh my god... how did this script get approved??????? Like, I was not only hoping but also expecting that they just Kangaroo Jacked the trailers to play off of the recent "Disney Bad Dreamworks Good" discourse and Little Mermaid remake backlash, but nope, literally just a movie about a good sapient species and a bad sapient species, and the crazy grandma is the "harbor of truth" (NPI) too. Great message for the kiddies.

There's a really annoying attitude I see a lot to game preservation where people are like "well, the IMPORTANT games are avaliable legally, so what's the issue?". Yeah, no, Final Fantasy 7 isn't any more worth preserving than Awesome Possum. There's more use to a game than playing it, and while some games obviously have had more impact on the wider industry, every game ever made is part of their own small micro-history and can illustrate some kind of moment in time or have some kind of small factor worth enjoying or learning from.

Wario Wario Wario · Jul 11, 2023

I'll probably start decreasing the gaps between returning franchises for DriDim soon. Will still mostly be new IPs though.

Having ADHD is cool because you can eat and drink whatever sugary junk you want every day since your body forces you into a week's worth of exercise every day.

Sometimes I'll find a YouTube video I really enjoy, check out the channel to see more, and then find out that all the other videos are about boring **** like banned movies made by Nazi cannibal cults instead of more content in the veins of the Polar Bowler video essay that drew me to it.

Just found out that Mickey Illusion Island is a Metroidvania

RIP

That makes 4 out of 7 (Mickey, faulty 3P Switch controller and charger, Move It because my old controller lacks motion controls) items from my Amazon gift card I've cancelled, so uh, now I've just got £200 lying about that I can't use for groceries. I'm not getting paid this week. Oof.
