instead of bunding together all the retros for an "... for every smash series" project, you should bundle together every nintendo-tied 3p. professor layton represents the entirety of mega man, castlevania, bayonetta, and banjo kazooie.

The name "Red One" is really funny to me, even before I found out it was some attempt at an epic "hallmark holiday cinematic universe" or had anything to do with Christmas at all, I just couldn't help bursting into laughter thinking about the prospect of a film called "Red One".
doing a smash alt costumes project and JESUS DOES EVERYONE IN THIS GAME HAVE A SANTA OUTFIT?
Why in the heteronormative HELL is the SNK dating sim called "King of Fighters for Girls"?
i was reading the deltarune "woody theory" and someone mentioned that they thought a future chapter would be "ice-e" themed and i didn't realise ice-e was the name of a probably-unrelated undertale character and not that they were suggesting the prospect of a slush-world with a parody of this guy as a boss
I had heard "the indomitable human spirit" before and thought it was kinda sweet/hopecore, but turns out... god damnit, it's just a weird dudebro hype thing.
the lion king remake-prequel looks a billion times better visually than the first remake, but i can't tell whether that's more of an insult towards #1 or #2.
It really surprises how quickly memes get forgotten - that Nutshack-Bee Movie-Lorax stuff was everywhere but people treat it like a hallucination at most.
There is a bizarre dichotomy to YouTubers who talk about crime and exploitation having to censor "ass" to make a living while YouTubers who reupload unedited SpongeBob clips have a practical incentive (even if it's nowhere near as important) to fill the description with the most profane words imaginable to uphold a community.
"Slendytubbies" implies the existence of "Teleman", the lovable Slenderman-inspired mascot who has literally nothing to do with Teletubbies.
Those memes where people dig up 15-year-old Twitter posts with words like "Skibidi", "Chungus", or "Tuah" are actually really interesting to me because like... how do we not know that any of the other famous word etymologies were just a bizarre coincidence?
If Glass Joe was to get in Smash, he should be a combo BEAST - you play as him and you say "Oh, he's a boxer, but he's really weak! His forward smash only does 7 damage charged, and he's barely as much as slapping! How unexpected!" but once you start playing him in a way you wouldn't play a boxer, he can really shine, kinda like how Punch-Out Wii implies he lives a quite luxiourous life outside of boxing. That being said, I think it would only really work in a Smash game designed in a way that casual players can easily KO using combos as well as stray smash attacks.
I don't think Game Awards nominating DLC is a good idea necessarily, not because of the "second chance"/"SpongeBob at the KCAs" factor, but more just because DLC will be utterly dominated compared to if it was to have its own category. This isn't like Best Animated Film where it's a medium that can be used as effectively or ineffectively as another, this is more like a different type of product with its own very glaring strengths and limitations, I'd say it's closer to comparing short films to feature length films - especially when you add on the extra trouble of whether you count the existing assets and gameplay the DLC is designed around as part of it or not.
The Toy Story 5 concept art reminds me how AI will always clone characters and make them ominously march towards the screen like Pikmin. That has to be my favourite Mysterious AI Quirk That Should Never Be Patched Out.
the character on the left is the nasb equivalent of the character on the right
sakurai is such a 4TH DIMENSIONAL TROLL that he BREAKS FALSE ADVERTISING LAWS and gets FINED 300 MILLION YEN under the JAPANESE PREMIUMS AND REPRESENTATIONS ACT OF 1962 to troll us
my whole life is a lie
Oh my god I just realised that the sky is made of hexagons in Chicken Little because it's supposed to be chicken coop wire. That's weirdly intelligent for this movie. Truly a certified One Little Slip moment.
I've been making fan-names (well, maybe not "fan-"...) for some of the Smash alts as seperate characters, and assinging them unique gender and moral alignments, and I think my favourite name here is blue K. Rool being the virtious, female "President B. Neverviolent" with an extremely close second being the pink Greninja, who is known as "
janesFR0AKY"
It's also very difficult to avoid making uncharacteristic pop culture references. Especially for Incineroar. I let pink Banjo being called "Fuzzy" fly though, there's just barely enough plausable deniability there that I have just completely eradicated in this very sentence.
smash ultimate dlc finale if the square enix exec got in an elevator with a dreamworks exec in 1999
They say that the Garden of Awesome ceased to be when James Rolfe, taking the form of a bad dragon, convinced Lindsay Ellis to feed Doug Walker a forbidden cinnabon roll. Don't give in to temptation, lest you lose the things a Bat Credit Card can't buy. #nncn
I don't like how 3DS-onwards gave Jigglypuff actual facial expressions, the blank stare is much more endearing
DANKPODS MADE THOSE SIMPSONS REMIXES????
i have not gone to sleep in the past 3 hours, i do not drink alcohol or consume drugs, yet i still managed to have a hangover sensation from remembering that i just wrote a 16 line essay on why first party snes games are ugly 3 hours ago, but not why. i mean, i remember why i think those games are ugly, but... yeah. i dunno why i wrote that big essay, the post i was responding to was multiple days old
CHOOSE YOUR POOH HORROR
- Blood & Honey - Slasher Horror
- Winnie's Hole - Eldritch Horror
- Piglet's Big Game - Atmospheric Horror
- Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue - Libertarian Horror
Punishable final smashes would benefit casual play as well as competitive play if they reverted the final smashes to be more interactive - imagine a dragon Yoshi vs. electric-orb Pikachu duel or something.
Piglet's Big Game was made in France
OK, it all makes sense now. European cartoon characters collect near-death incidents like candy.
Like Lunchlyposting, I know you're probably sick of Pigletposting even though I've only done it twice, but I find it funny to contrast Piglet's Big Game against the first game that (previously) came to mind for me in terms of surreal uncanny 6th gen licensed games: Nicktoons Unite - that game has a very similar vibe to Piglet, but Piglet was clearly intentional, and intelligently made at that, while Nicktoons very much appears to be a sloppy game where not everyone on the dev team (particularly sound design) had the same memo. Half of the game has no or illegibley quiet music, the rest is either boomingly loud but slow orchestral music or SpongeBob relaxation ukelele tracks, ambient sounds like footsteps and water droplets are set to max, each world has half of its runtime taken up by some kind of dungeon/factory/prison, and the character writing is weirdly joke-light. I'm not saying this game is scary, or even unsettling, even when looking it from a kid's perspective, just that it's kind of a surreal and off-putting game, and the fact nobody really talks about how weird it is is kinda strange since, unlike Piglet, this was a genuinely popular game that people still talk about regularly.
Been thinking about Piglet's Big Game, and uh oh, I've gotten all copyright-reform-pilled about this mass consumer product based on a spin-off of a remake of an overextended IP:
So like, this game's horror leanings make no sense as a game of either Disney or Milne's Pooh, no denying that, but I think that if you took Piglet out of context, just looked at who Piglet is and not considering the tone of the works in which he originates or how that work has been woven into the cultural conciousness, it's a really fascinating idea - Piglet is a man with nothing to fear, everyone around him is friendly, the worst it gets is a particularly grumpy lagomorph, yet he is absolutely tiny, looks like and has the name of a baby despite clearly being more mature than Roo, and surrounded by bears; owls; humans; kangaroos, all large creatures - even if he wouldn't have the world-weariness to know of how they act outside of the 100 Acre Woods, it makes sense that he'd be scared of people who aren't as much as capable of wrongdoing, and that's an interesting idea for a kid-friendly, optimistic horror story (even if that animal angle isn't what the game is going for). As far as I can tell, this game is about Piglet visiting his friends' dreams, which is an interesting spin on that - "absolute coward who faces their fears for their friends" is like The Objective Best Cliche Ever, and it's interesting to add the element of the screaming wreck realising they aren't the only one with troubles. If we had more content enter the public domain more frequently, and were better at pulling things apart and rebuilding them as we've done with Dracula and Robin Hood in the past, perhaps we'd have more Piglet's Big Games and less Blood & Honeys, and we could deliver them in a way that neither decieves nor superfically shocks? It doesn't make sense for Winnie the Pooh, the work or the brand, nor does it work for Piglet's Big Movie specifically, but it's perfect for just Piglet in a vacuum.
Smash fans when picking characters (gaming setting): "Don't pay attention to what those stinky competitive players think is better with their ridiculous complicated "meta", just choose your favourite character!!! <3<3<3"
Smash fans when picking characters (creative setting): "What, you're going to add CatRoots? Don't you realise the whole point of this game is to have characters millions of Nintendo fans worldwide are attached to, have been anticipating for decades, and would feel strong playing as??? That game wasn't even released, nobody likes it!"
if a movie that was two years long came out, would it be apt to call it "The Movie (2025 - 2026)"?
never really thought about it until now, but... Polterpup would be a kinda cool Smash character, right? Think I prefer him as a pick over E. Gadd, Poochy, and King Boo (though a second Yoshi rep is long overdue either way and I don't really see as much reason from an inclusion perspective for a devoted LM rep, even if Luigi is unchanged or loses his new grab)
no nostalgia critic november is genuinely challenging somehow? like, i don't actively think about the nostalgia critic on a monthly basis, maybe bi-montly, and only ever watch if there's an old joke i remembered from when i was a kid that i want to go back to, yet it feels like everything i'm doing this month is calling back to the nostalgia critic somehow.
do not EVER fix the backloggd/igdb poster for the zoboomafoo game boy game. it is sacred.
i **** on dkvine a lot, but they did make this, so the site is ultimately a net positive
banger youtube recommendation
Meowth in Smash is a completionist pick, but I can totally get behind Persian (which makes more sense than Meowth from traditional Smash logic when looking at the games and not the anime anyway lmao)
youtube recommended me a fansong about foxy loxy getting hypnotised/lobotomised at the end of chicken little, and it goes weirdly hard for a creepypasta song based on a cinemasins nitpick. -
