    People often say you need conflict to tell a good story and I feel that's kinda true to an extent, but if you've got good enough characters and write them well enough, anything can be entertaining - even going to the store to buy some milk or hell, watching paint dry! - but you probably would need to get the reader/viewer/listener invested in the characters first (hence why "fluff" generally works better as fanfiction or one-off episodes of TV shows) and would need characters more fit for mundane situations.

    The thing is, “buying some milk” or “watching paint dry” both are conflicts. They’re extremely minuscule but when people say conflict, I’m pretty sure they’re using it to describe anything from a giant epic war to going to buy groceries

    I might give some support for the Glover kickstarter. Was going to support Fraymakers but that's already hit its goal, Glover needs a lot more help getting off the ground.

    I've always pronounced "infra red" as "infarid" - that would make a good name for a furry platformer mascot. Infarid the Capybara, everyone's favourite.

    I feel memes like this that I loved when I was 15 or so has not only impacted my sense of humour, but also my sense of story telling.

    Me and a friend write fanfiction AUs together, and his ideas are all normal things like "what if this character was the opposite gender?" "what if this character was that character's sibling?" "what if this character went through the adventures that character went through?" and mine are always like "WHAT IF THIS CHARACTER WAS A LIVING FOOD PERSON FROM A LIVING FOOD SOCIETY WHERE EATING ONE ANOTHER IS CONSIDERED NORMAL AND ACCEPTABLE BECAUSE THEY CAN ALL REGENERATE AND THEY HAVE PEOPLE RESTAURANTS" or "WHAT IF THIS CHARACTER LIVED IN A WORLD WHERE BEING GROTESQUELY OBESE IS HEALTHY AND THE NORM AND THEY'RE THE SIZE OF 3 PEOPLE FROM OUR WORLD STACKED ATOP EACH OTHER."

    CTR has been selling better than MK8D on the eShop over the past 2 weeks

    Finally, people have taste.

    That's just because people are getting Mario kart for Christmas so they have to settle until.

    When I play Omega/BF, my first options are usually Fourside or Super Happy Tree, both of those stages are super aesthetically pleasing.

    Let's be happy the Super Happy Tree isn't called the Super Happy Ivory Tree.

    REJECT MARIO, EMBRACE BUBSY.

    Bubsy's port compilation was reasonably priced.
    Bubsy supports his fans for enjoying his game, even in different ways than intended.
    Bubsy doesn't send a C&D to a charity fundraisers mourning a deceased man.
    Bubsy doesn't cancel games because of literal racism.

    One thing I've been saying for years is that Nintendo should release their legacy games on rival platforms. Nobody's gonna buy a Switch (Online Membership) just to play retro games, but Steam or PS4 ports of tried and true classics like Yoshi's Island or Ocarina of Time could make Nintendo millions.

    I would love that, but really don’t think it’s gonna happen any time soon.

    People do buy NSO for the classic games service, though.

    Plus, releasing their titles on rival platforms would be a conflict of interest: They want people to buy a Switch to play Nintendo games. If they offer a way to play versions of full console releases, even old ones on rival platforms, what incentive would their be to buy a Switch for people who want to play those games?

    Exclusives exist for the sake of selling hardware, and to be honest, exclusives are what make Nintendo systems sell. People don't really buy Switches for 3rd party titles, usually it's to play Nintendo's games.

    IMHO, releasing classic games on a subscription model is a brilliant move, it's just their slow trickle of content strategy that harms it. However Even then, it's hard to deny it still works out for them in the end: Whenever they do drop a popular game on the service, it gets people talking and playing.

    Never forget: Dennis the Menace was so upset the writers forced him into a romantic plotline that he froze time beyond the 4th wall, broke out of the cinema screen and rewrote the ending of the god damn movie he was in by MODIFYING INDIVIDUAL FRAMES OF THE FILM REEL.

    I have to say...after researching UK Dennis, and how they ironically both were created the same day....I really wish they would have kept him known as Dennis the Menace, and not go With Dennis and Gnasher later on. Literally just have both sides have it listed as "Dennis the Menace(US)" and "Dennis the Menace(UK)." To me it's a bit unfair that the UK Dennis was forced to have his comic name changed when both were created within the same month, AND same day, with neither side having any idea of the other. And I'm American!

    I also saw that apparently there's now a new animated/digital of the UK version, but it's removing a lot of the references to the UK and Great Britain to try and make it more "appealing" to international audiences, and that to me is even more disappointing. Don't water down the characters nationality just to be more appealing to international audiences. To me that's like giving Wallace from Wallace and Grommet an American accent when the shorts were aired in America. IT would be an absolute insult to the character.

    Idea: blatantly rip off a character so obscure, generic, and inconsequential that the original owners would never think to sue - and probably never thought to copyright the character in the first place. A fun, if very risky, experiment in the lengths copyright law will go.

    A lot of non-Crash fans don't really realise that people don't like Crash in spite of the linear level design but rather BECAUSE of the linear level design. Non-linearity is often treated as an objective improvement when that's a complete lie (or at the least dire misconception) - comparing a collectathon to a corridor platformer is like comparing a Metroidvania to a 2D Mario or Sonic game, they're completely different things.

    I mean the most recent 3d sonic game basically is a corridor platformer tho...

    I still don't get why people want more crossover characters in Mario Kart. I'm not opposed to them being there, but when people are asking for D-list Nintendo characters like Captain Falcon when we don't even have Kamek, Boom Boom, Goomba or ANY Wario series characters yet you just gotta stop and wonder.

    Just found out Jump King is on Switch, this will be a gloriously masochistic experience. (I do have Steam, but buying Switch games is more convenient to me)

    I never got why frame rate and other graphical things are used to advertise games. Who looks at a game's store description and thinks "ooh goody, 60FPS and ray tracing!" and not y'know... "ooh goody, high difficulty and tight controls!" or something actually substantial like that?

    Eh, it's weird. While the first 2 things are definitely visual, I guess some games absolutely would prefer 60 FPS over 30, like twitch shooters. While I can tolerate 30 just fine, since that's what most games I've played my whole life have run at, I can't deny that some games are better in 60 since they feel more responsive(Like Crash 4 for a recent example).

    Raytracing...? Eh, it's pretty, but don't need it.

    I really only care when it's something like Smash, or ports of retro games (mainly because I like to play them as smoothly as possible).

    When you find out Circle of Life's Zulu lyrics translate literally to
    "There comes a lion, oh yes it's a lion (x2),
    lion, we're going to conquer, lion,
    it's a lion and tiger (x9)"
    it becomes a lot less epic and powerful.

    As a Brit I am not at all offended by lots of movie villains having British accents - what offends me is the specific accents they choose. The stereotypical "posh British villain" accent is nowhere near as threatening and confrontational as a cockney accent.

    Remember when people were unironically comparing SpongeBob Rehydrated to Last of Us Part 2? what a cursed time period.

    Dreamworks' old trailers basically being mini behind the scenes documentaries (take for example the Over the Hedge trailer in the video I posted) was such a great idea, but they were executed so poorly.
