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.

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.

Watching an MVS tierlist video and

Listening to someone seriously talk about The Rock's Black Adam as a fighting game character feels borderline like they're being exploited.
There's a nice irony to the best character in the 1v1 gamemode being Jake, a character who likely only got in (at least so early) because of the 2v2 focus.

"Bubsy 2 is the best Bubsy game" might just be JonTron's worst non-political take

In all seriousness, Bubsy is a really tricky series to evaluate, because the quality of a Bubsy game as a whole package is usually opposite to the quality of a Bubsy game as a game if that makes sense? The reboot games (thus far) are completely forgettable outside of their soundtracks and dialogue, but very compotent platformers, while the original 90s games tended to be absolute messes mechanically, but had a lot of interesting ideas and outright well-executed visuals - the only constant is that Bubsy 2 sucks.

You know, thinking back about that awful Sakurai Dolby take, maybe it's just me growing up autistic, but it never really crossed my mind until then that people wouldn't like logos, even the long and unskippable kind. Even watching CinemaSins as an edgy teenager I thought the joke with the running logos bit that I compared Sakurai's take to was "Yeah, they point out everything, even if it isn't a flaw", not "logos are too long, this is a flaw".

"Why are the new Star Wars movies so obsessed with nostalgia pandering?"
Star Wars came out in 1977, 16 years after Yuri Gagarin entered orbit and exactly 22 years after the start of the space race and beginning of the mass popularity of space toys, fitting right into the 20-to-30-year-nostalgia bubble, Star Wars is fundamentally based around "nostalgia pandering".

Execution, on the other hand, is another matter - but critcising the simple idea of "nostalgia pandering" as a whole as opposed to how it is done is, for many IPs that have managed to sustain themselves for a long time, completely neglecting their historical context.

Had a go at an MVS wishlist aaaaannnnddd ok, to be honest, half way through I was already just putting in characters less because I'd really want them if I was into MVS and more because I wanted a full image and happened to think they'd be at least somewhat cool or funny, I'm not actually dying to see Goopy Geer or the Revolting Slob in there - or really anyone here except Dastardly, Muttley, and Mung.

Disney Speedstorm making Kermit a bonus and not doing a Muppet season is a huge missed opportunity. I guess a Muppet track would run the risk of overlapping with the cinema section of the Steamboat Willie stage, but still.

I really can't bring myself to care much about Speedstorm as a whole though, just because they stopped making all the unlocks free for local play, and since then I've heard there's been some other suspicious things going on with monetization.

My laptop meets the minimum requirements for MVS, I guess I kinda have to play it when it relaunches. I doubt I'll like it, but my curiousity has absolutely been piqued.

I had a dream where I went on Netflix, and watched Sonic Prime, and the description directly mentioned how people on Sonic Twitter were upset about that Turkish truck toy - not as a snarky joke, but more... a selling point? In the same way an Oscar nomination is???

The workprint version of Foodfight ends with Dex and Sunshine's products (cereal and raisins respectively) getting a cross promotion following their marriage. OK, cute ending, buuuuut throughout the movie a major plot point is Lady X, the villain, trying to court Dex - Lady X is a detergent mascot, what horrible product would they make in the bad timeline ending?

I'm reading all the Audio pages on the MVS wiki, and for some reason I find it irrationally funny how every time quotes related to Rick show up "Meeseeks" is written in blue for the page link

There are a lot of valid and gripping criticisms of modern Atari, down to an existential level, I don't want to shill for any company or endorse any massive corporate buyout, but god damn the Intellivision news is a relief. As silly as the Amico saga has been, it's always been a bit sad that the Intellivision name and library had to be dragged through it. Of course, ideally these almost 50 year old games and hardware should at least be nearing the public domain in an ideal world, but getting off of Mr. Tallarico's wild ride is always a good thing

Oh my ****ing god, that Sakurai Dolby story might be the worst thing he's said yet. I get that Dolby is a faceless corporation, but actively refusing to improve your game's sound quality because you find giving proper contract-required credit "intrusive" is icky, plain and simple. This is the first thing he's said that isn't just "bad game design" but outright "bad acting".

I'm doing more research into MVS, and honestly it's really funny that MVS fans were making fun of NASB1 for its lack of alt costumes, because if you don't buy the paid variants, every character in MVS also only has one alt and you can't even willingly select it.
