For all my funny hahas about "what if Disney made Smash and had third parties", I've only just realized that the equivalent of me wanting microcomputer rep in this universe would be wanting Beano and Dandy rep, heh.

It's funny how, when playing a fighter with original or uber-obscure characters, you kinda just build your favourite alt costumes in your head as that character's default appearance.
What do you mean Ittle Dew isn't an elder with an eyepatch in the game?????

Now that the Velma dust has settled and I can (probably) talk about this without seeming like a right wing nutjob - one thing that rubs me the wrong way about this show is how the more diverse version of Scooby-Doo is also the more adult version - as a white guy, I don't see anything wrong about an alternate universe show where Shaggy is black or anything, but having the only show where Shaggy is black and Velma is Indian also be the violent, sexual, misanthropic Family Guy-like, 99.9% chance not intentionally, comes off as saying "being diverse and engaging in that culture is an adult/political subject matter".
crafty microsoft showing me a cool weird bird, and only telling me its name if i give traffic to bing.
is this the sole way bing stays financially viable. it has to be.
If I had the ability to make a convincing leak for any game, it'd be one of my niche most wanteds, basically just in hopes of getting people to discuss them seriously.
OH NO I MISSED CHRISTMAS IN JULY AAAAAAAAAAAAA
Britain on 18th April 1930:
I know this is a cliche, but I want to say the words "Pre-order Dreamworks All-Star Kart Racing Digital Deluxe for a chance to play as The Embodiment of Death!" to someone in 2012.
While I don't think it's the only reason, I do think it's very likely that one of the things holding Pibby back from a greenlight is that it attracted a really young audience. Nobody's at fault for this - not Adult Swim, not parents, not kids, not FNF modders, if anyone it'd be YouTube for not having a complex age rating system and even that's a stretch - but it raises a real dilemma for both the writers and the execs - can and should you tell the same story in a PG-13 format? would capitalising off of this unintended audience with a tamed version increase or decrease a potential controversy? in the case of this specific show, should they cut down on the more modern and timeless cameos that would draw kids to it if they keep it on Adult Swim?
I honestly find it kinda weird that Smash fans specifically are so pro-monopolist. Nintendo fans as a whole makes perfect sense from a historical perspective, Nintendo has a past of upholding monopoly and, once it was finally broken, made them into a laughing stock for almost a quarter of a century, something we're only just now seeing tame down as the 90s kids grow out of discourse, not to mention their usually-effective-but-at-times-crippling obsession with originality contributing to a "derivative = bad" mentality; but Smash is a mega-crossover between multiple companies, where a lot of the franchises featured were very clearly inspired by one another. It would not exist (even in its earlier, Nintendo-centric state) in a world where every new installment in a genre is considered an inferior bootleg.
If you think NASB and MVS' side-over-protags are surprising, you should really see Slap City. That game has 10 characters, spanning 8 games, and only 2 of them are main protagonists.
NASB speculation is the only situation where the existence of "Dreamworks Kart" is considered a crushing, mortifying event.
People who don't want Fred Figglehorn in NASB are so Year One.
i love the donkey konga version of 99 red balloons, it is objectively worse (affectionate) than the original.
Wait, so is Minnie's ability in Speedstorm just to give everyone around her a shield and completely eliminate all offensive play?
She is either going to be the best or worst opponent to race against. Probably both.
I still find Dirk Dinkum hilarious.
This guy is walking testosterone, and proudly sings about he is an affront to god, but all you see him do in the song is harmless children's playground pranks. It is just the perfect comedic dissonance - I'm sure this is all just for intentional comedic effect and he does much worse things in the actual episodes (IIRC he was a poacher? I believe I saw the Long Lost Lyman episode he was in on Boomerang as a kid, I distinctly the only reason I didn't change the channel being that I knew about the Lyman character beforehand and was genuinely invested in his disappearance)
clicked on a glover video essay
first 2 minutes are about how mario 64 "birthed" 3d platformers*
*read: collectathons. they're using "3d platformer" to mean "collectathons"
actually no the x doesnt look like a warez site, it looks like a fashion brand
I think Brawl is the start of Smash's dark age and easily the worst installment, but also generally has more in common with the 2 HAL games than the Namco games.
The new Twitter logo looks 2000s in all the worst ways.
Yoshi's Story is a woefully flawed game, Yoshi's moveset from Island is, IMO, too complex to work in a beginner's game; the save system is somehow worse than even Crash 1; you spend most of your time being bumped around uncontrollably; it's impossible to play every level in a single playthrough; and it had a rather negative effect on the perception of 2D games at the time of its release (not that that last one was its fault, but still), but it's also a game I can't bring myself to even dislike, let alone hate - mostly because it was the first game I ever beat, but also because the artistry of the game's visuals is just incredible, and I appreciate how it continued the experimentation of Island, even if not to nearly as good an effect. I'd also argue that it has one of the best endings in a Nintendo game.
is it just me or did the top banner get deep fried
Fun fact: Nintendo have published more Bubsy games (1, in Europe) than they have Conker games. (0, nowhere)
I thought I had drift on my new luxury 3P joycons, but turns out I just accidentally set one of the shortcut buttons to left lmao
I find it funny how FNAF used to have a reputation as a game YouTubers would only talk about because they needed to pay rent, given that the gameplay revolves entirely around "keeping the lights on".

Never trust anyone who namedrops TV Tropes tropes in regular speech.

Digital customer service is a nightmare. Got an Amazon refund lost in the post and the choose-your-own-adventure "customer service" doesn't even acknowledge that as a possible incident. £30 gone, I guess. Whatever.
MS. PAC-MAN NOOOOOOOO DOCTORS AREN'T SUPPOSED TO TREAT THEIR OWN FAMILY MEMBERS IT WILL SUBCONSCIOUSLY EFFECT YOUR MEDICAL JUDGEMENT MS PAC MAN NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
I honestly think the timer item in Speedstorm is the best take I've ever seen on a blue shell item
Even if the Nazis were actually socialist (which they weren't), that wouldn't really prove anything about socialism because that's not the reason people hate the Nazis.
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.
the fifa 06 title screen is a ****ing nightmare
Rex is a better "bad Yoshi" than Boshi NGL

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. -
