Something really weird I see in political discourse about representation in media is "Oh, you're just appealing to single digit% of the population"

OK, I get that numbers are hard to comprehend, but surely anyone would be able to tell that "1% of the population", even at a national scale, is an absolutely massive number. (and even then it's a lowball to say LGBT people are 1% of the US population... well, not really a low ball, just a lie.)

I'm watching a video about the Disney Parks IP discourse, and it's really interesting how much this mirrors Smash discourse, or at least my takes on modern Smash. There's a lot of talk about whether rigid source-accuracy is good, how much an IP ride should appeal to those who don't like or know the IP, "I know that I clapped", faster-horses mentality, e.t.c.

Been reading the Japanese press and comments about the Palworld lawsuit, a lot of really weird and concerning pro-corporate pro-copyright sentiment there - but something I find a bit funny (in a dystopian way) is that so many news reports start with (what is machine translated into) "[SAD NEWS:]"

Have the people who ask for a Pac-Man World moveset for Pac-Man actually played Pac-Man World? Pac-Man's movelists in those games work really well for what they are, but in the context of a Smash moveset they read like a strawman of Hal moveset design made by a fan of Namco moveset design. I'm a strong supporter of the NASB1 moveset design philosophy, but even I have to draw the line at giving Pac-Man a ground pound, projectile throw, and spin-dash as his whole special set.

I think true happiness is gained from absolutely adoring a side character from something you don't really care about, and your entire knowledge of that work being in relation to that character.

what if i nominated every single capitol critter to the mvs rtc thread

Wario Wario Wario · Sep 20, 2024

ok yeah the mvs devs probably would actually reference the time mario and ryu were in a choir with buster bunny and goku in korea if they were in charge of smash

so are vtubers just like japanese muppets or something.

they even have the whole "everyone treats them as if they're an actual real world celebrity" schtick going on.

I really dislike how people will respond to idiots saying "emulation is piracy" as a motto and BS like that with "Um ackshually dumping ROMs is legal" and not by saying something like "and that's why it's awesome!" or just bursting into 1700s Long John Silver slang

Decided to do a Smash music project right after Nintendo lauched another DMCA bomb.

Damnit.

When I heard about the KSI/Logan Paul/Mr. Beast lunchables, my first thought was "Oh hey! KSI and Logan Paul are actually marketing something appropriate for their viewerbase!"

Then I saw they put tiny bottles of Prime in it

Nintendo suing Palword for Poke Ball patents instead of the actual recorded asset-tracing is a type of practical idiocy I don't think I've seen from a major corporation before. I've seen corporations be evil before, I've seen them be uninformed about things that seem obvious outside of the capitalist bubble, I've seen their power be outsmarted by smaller entities, but I've never seen them just... come up with a stupid plan for something easy to win. Owning a gun but walking into a knife fight with bare fists.

People really forget that all the cool 80s-through-2000s aesthetics we're nostalgic for now were considered "corporate" at the time. I'm just barely old enough to remember when people said that about what we now call "Neo-UPA", certainly remember people taking about Frutiger Aero in that manner, and if you've been exposed to any satirical 90s content whatsoever you'd know just how bad the backlash against "x-treme" aesthetics was.

just reported the use of mystery season passes (gambling for children) in smash and mario kart 8 to the cma (british ftc)

The part of the SSBU intro where Pikachu looks into the distance on all the omega stages goes really hard.

Because FazDude mentioned the original characters in M&Ms Kart Racing, I have now been sent down the surreal rabbit hole of the seemingly-unauthorised use of a Brutal: Paws of Fury character in M&M's Kart Racing

This is the dark twisted version of Mort the Chicken in Pizza Tower

Under Android 21-for-Smash logic, almost the entire cast of the Crazy Frog Racer series can be in Smash.

I am not arguing against Android 21-logic.

It's funny how Nintendo did technically greenlight a fan-made project to be official once...

but it was Pixels.

Wario Wario Wario · Sep 18, 2024

how the hell can companies say "we are re-structuring our entire business around controversial fad that has already died a year ago and become an unspeakable taboo on par with murder" and then.... just survive?

capitalism working as intended i guess.

It's kinda weird to me how "everything you watched on YouTube as a kid was stolen from some other site!" is surfacing as this shocking new revelation - I knew that at the time when I was a kid, it wasn't hard info to come by or comprehend, and "someone else did this" was my assumption whenever I saw a funny internet video (I didn't realise "Icanrockyourworld" was the actual originator of the Gummy Bear song until I saw the description modified to promote the newer incarnations of the character years after the fact for instance).

I'm not gonna claim either side of the "is Thomas the Tank Engine fascist?" debate, but I am just gonna say that it's really not a good look when the counter-argument always begins with "well, you have to accept that the engines don't have free will..."

It's kinda funny that "wrestling is fake" (or its edgier 2010s equivalent "anime is fake") was ever considered really an edgy thing to say at all, like it's equivalent to saying "superheroes are fake" or "fairy tales are fake", everyone knows that, but you don't really acknowledge it because you can't really have a story where you point out that it's fake all the time.

Wario Wario Wario · Sep 17, 2024

I find it a bit weird how people say Astro Bot is "just a giant ad", but give Smash the benefit of the doubt - considering Astro Bot doesn't use the character or game names at all, and treats the characters more like fun cameos than Smash's all-important vibe. Not that there isn't a marketing element to Astro Bot, but it's very clearly on, if not the lesser end, at least the subtler.

just found out the first need for speed was a (timed) 3do exclusive.

sorry gex, you'll always be "the most significant gaming franchise that started on 3do" in my heart

after commenting about the phantom i've been going down the vaporware console rabbit hole and i am very distressed to find out a console called "ape extreme" was never released. that is the coolest name ever. i want to flappy bird that abandoned tademark

It's kinda funny how it took like 8 years for "cringe" to go from meaning "kids having fun" to either being used in an endearing manner or reserved for actually-bad-things, while "brainrot" took about 3 weeks to go from "anything children like" to a term of endearment.

Pizza Tower has a whole level where you are wading through poop and there's giant stickers of pizzas that have been pooped on, yet the most grossed out anything Pizza Tower-related has made me was the sound effects in the demonstration video for the Gustavo and Brick mug on the Fangamer website
