what is up with that part of the melee intro with the pngs floating in a time vortex. what is that supposed to represent.
wtf why did they call the service you use to pay celebrities to say stuff "smash bros newcomer"
is "a better schedule for nickelodeon's main block" a multi-level marketing scheme.
I'm going down a YouTube Kids Mario rabbithole, but like completely harmless-at-worst and decent-eductational-content-at-best YouTube Kids videos, and I like how the "just Google "Mario character starting with letter"" approach leds to really obscure characters like the Ziggy Rabbids and Ostro getting love.
fun fact: bubsy 1 has a short hop macro.

There has to be more out there.
I'm sure you've all seen this a billion times over but I only saw this for the first time a few days ago and I can't stop thinking about how funny it is.
I had a dream where I was in an indoor mall and went to a restaurant that was entirely themed around Peter Pottamus' sidekick So-So. It wasn't a Chuck E. Cheese or anything, it was like a fancy pub almost, but there were images, statues, and gambling machines of So-So everywhere.
shut up about the switch 2, i want to see actual ****ing games.
Sonic was the first individual Smash character trailer.
Sonic 06 did not have the worst impact of a Sonic project.
why is it that whenever i explain how i percieve and play video games, people call me "sad". do they think i just... don't like video games? like this is some kind of nicotine equivalent i hate but can't draw myself away from?
i wonder what taco bell's marketing execs think of the poop meme
i wish i had Cultural Osmosis Jones running around in my brain so he could zap away all the fnaf lore with his pg-rated not-gun.
smash mfs be like "characters aren't just functions" then say a character has to be
- iconic/deep cut/cult favourite (not a diegetic concept)
- from the 80s/90s/2000s/10s/20s (not a diegetic concept)
- from an e/t/m rated game (not a diegetic concept)
- the main character/sidekick/villain (not a diegetic concept)
- have moveset potential (not a diegetic concept)
- from a new/represented series (not a diegetic concept)
- from a new gaming genre (not a diegetic concept)
- from a good game (not a diegetic concept)
- popular with/new to smash fans (not a diegetic concept)
- from a western/japanese/european game (not a diegetic concept)
- from/related to/not related to nintendo (not a diegetic concept)
- from a video game (not a diegetic concept)

I love this pixel font that Japanese companies keep on using on translated websites for some reason.
I think it's really cool and almost beautiful how most big pop cultural icons introduced in living memory are essentially just a remixed version of, or at least follow the stylistic trappings of, some unpopular or underground thing by the same creators.
"fast food company streaming service" feels like a very typical stunt on paper, but the fact that it's Chick-Fil-A specifically, and considering what content most alternative streaming services host... uhh, oh no.
It's very fascinating how AI, as a cultural entity, has probably accelerated the already ongoing and well-acknowledged "irrelevant" step in the "relevant-irrelevant-nostalgia-forgotten" cycle of semi-photorealistic animation by copying so much of Pixar's homework (or uh, Google image results) and making it look cheap. Not really saying it's good or bad thing, that style does need a rest but it's also a very nice one IMO, and I wouldn't be surprised if there was a nostalgia boom for it, or at the very least some Disney die-hards who prop it up like some do the Xerox style.
It's really weird how a lot of the NASB thread was convinced that characters like Squidward, Jimmy Neutron, and Rocko only got in through fan demand. I can understand the root of "they just added Rocksteady/Granny to troll" as an opinion, even though it is obviously wrong once any critical thought about the game making process and the general existential status of non-Smash video games as video games that exist beyond an initial reaction and not the high-budget equivalent to a Google Maps April Fools advergame that serves its ephemeric duty and fades away is applied, but like... other than Hugh and El Tigre (the latter just being such a perfect fit for a platfighter he would've likely gotten in even if his show was hated), every one of the top NASB requests that has gotten in has been essentially just a "no **** Sherlock" pick that was outprioritised. Nobody ever said "let's NOT put in Squidward, that would be a bad idea" during NASB1's development.
i like how the female villager's hair is very obviously the result of modelers misreading 2d concept art
i started thinking about what i'd do if copyright lengths were reasonable and i now have 5 pages worth in my head of solarpunk anti-monarchist anti-philantrophist lore and worldbuilding based on the teletubbies.
just realised that spirit enhancement means you can give birth to kiddy kong in ssbu
As a kid I would always get the Psycho theme (as featured in The Simpsons) mixed up with One Winged Angel (as featured in Weegee Takes Over SpongeBob) so listening the Niel Cicierega Psycho/Love Shack mashup gives me horrible visions of Schneideroth, the One-Clawed Rock Lobster
iterative sequel fans
at the start of the year when i was REALLY into the pd stuff i was reading letterboxd reviews for the old black and white looney tunes shorts, and i found a review for the Iconic Hit goopy geer and one of them mentioned that "cats eating soup" is not a funny gag, and somehow i internalised that and now i just sometimes crack up thinking "haha, cats are eating soup" without even conciously connecting it to the review or cartoon.
I love this logo because it is by far the most blatantly forced Marvel-ficiation I've ever seen in my life, but I mean it in an affectionate way if that makes sense. Like, yeah, this is what 2020s pop culture is going to be remembered for, isn't it? Is this how 90s adults felt when Space Jam came out?
I absolutely want a significant copyright length shortening, but we also have to accept that if it happened, every gaming storefront - including Nintendo's (looking at you, Monkey Kong in New York) - would look like this for a week straight minimum.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is POINTLESS
Platform fighting: Most platformers have boss fights
Gaming history: They're not legally avaliable, get over it

THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE
is sneakers o'toole public domain under the sam spade test
THAT WAS NOT LEGAL ADVICE
japanese arcade scrimblo lore:
"i am a satan, and i have transformed you into a kappa because it's funny"
"nooooooo!!!"
japanese arcade scrimblo gameplay:
For as much people talk about "Disney's first gay character", "Disney's first original animated film" is way more confusing. They'll tell you Lion King was the first, but half of the Disney films prior were based on unreleased and lost material (Aristocats is a bizarre example of this, since said unreleased material was a film script, just a live action TV movie one) and a good chunk went beyond "unfaithful adaptation" into "we just took a character name and nothing else, we wasted licensing money"
Anyway, the first original Disney (company) animated film is Plane Crazy - short cartoons were made as films and not episodes, and Gallopin' Goucho and Steamboat Willie were parodies.
Pokemon-only Smash roster. Thoughts?
"listening to fans is good because they fixed Sonic!"
Well, second time's the charm, but first time it bit them in the arse come a decade.
i do like sc though, but no denying it did fail its long-term goal in the uhh... long term, and frontiers probably will too once the colours kids grow up. i don't think redesigning movie sonic was a bad choice (for quality) and a rare thing fans were right on, but i just wanted to do the "taking things literally" joke.
astro bot rescue mission level 3-2
Turns out those weird Google sponsors were added by - of all things - an MP3 download extension???
I posted this gif to Tenor ages go, and was shocked by how unpopular it was given its instantly-relatable depicted-emotion and relatively memetic source material, but suddenly today it got an unprecedented amount of shares - 300 in 1 day, atop only 500 since its posting in September - did some sleuthing, and uhh... so this activity is likely localised entirely within Amelia Island, Florida because eating shrimp is a new years tradition there. I love it. Shoutouts to Amelia Island, Florida
