See, the thing is, when you're not remarkable at any given thing and then you see people who seem to have it all together and are praised your insecurities and anxieties just want to overwhelm you.

When you've spent so much time just worrying about and helping the others around you as well as living in the moment so much that your foreseeable future is bleak and you have no idea what to do with your life now.

When you're such an introvert that you can't even bring up things you like in a conversation in fear that others will just not care about your passions but you've always listened to theirs.

Being a functional human is a lot of work. It requires a lot of fortitude, both mental and physical. Why does life make it so difficult just to function? Why does my mind want to spend it's days on internet forums rather than actually doing something productive? Why do I have such high ambitions but half the time can't act upon them?

But anyways, RIP to GameXplain for that video about AC and inclusivity. It's reception is very mixed.

 

[Shroob]

Like, don't get me wrong, I love love love the DLC, but it cracks me up when people bemoan that they need to "Throw the Nintendo fans a bone".


I mean, just ignoring the fact that the base game is absolutely massive, the DLC's main purpose is to get people 'outside' of the community interested. It's why we have such insane picks like Joker.


Which is why, no offense, when I see Geno brought up, I roll my eyes.


I'd be fine with Geno, but don't put him on the same pedestal as someone like Sora, or Master Chief, or hell, even Banjo. He'd appeal to us, the hardcore speculators, and, that's really it aside from the people who played SMRPG.

I was very confused by that video.

People realize that partner doesn't exclusively refer to romantic partners, right?

The beauty of Smash is it not only brings together fans of many franchises, but it also allows people to branch out and try new franchises.

If it wasn't for Melee, and subsequently, every other Smash game, I would only know Mario, Sonic, and Animal Crossing.

Like, I would have not discovered my strong love for RPGs if it wasn't for Smash. The same goes for my love of Adventure games. Because if Ryu, Ken, and Terry, I want to get better at fighting games that aren't Smash, like DBFZ and SF.

Which is why I don't like it when some Smash fans just right off characters as irrelevant and don't give them a chance. Like, OK, call Hero irrelevant, but miss out on some of the absolute best games ever made.

 

[Shroob]

Oh right.


Don't forget that, despite all the bad **** that's been going down:



Tomorrow's the day they're supposedly going to announce a General Direct for the 26th.



There's a decent reason to believe it(It called the exact date of the Nindies Direct), and even Gamexplain made a video on it, with Jon covering it.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Honestly, does the term "irrelevant" even mean anything to Smash fans?

Like, when Hero and Terry were announced, some people deemed them irrelevant despite getting/going to get new games at the time, but then some of those people are A-OK with Banjo and Geno? But then they claim Byleth was just an advert?

Like, I feel like it's just a buzzword now used by some (maybe a little too many), and it just lost all meaning.

irrelavent is just another way of saying" They arent who I want so I dont like them"

And I love that about smash. Y’all see how much of a bayonetta fan I am but I would almost certainly have never had any interest in the games if it wasnt for her inclusion in smash

 

[Shroob]

If they do announce a General Direct tomorrow, I'm fairly confident that FP2-1 won't be delayed due to the Virus, this character's been in production since September at the absolute earliest, giving them over 6 months of development time.

The rest though? That's an oof.

 

[Guynamednelson]

Is "people who have played FE3H but not Smash" even that big of a crowd? I'd think going for Heroes fans would be a better example of that.

Yeah..I hope Crash finally gets announced next tho.

Does it make business sense to go for Heroes?


Well if you ask me, absolutely.


But they chose 3 Houses. My only guess it happily coincided with the DLC release time window.

Eh, don't worry about it too much. I admit to getting more annoyed at stuff like that too, especially for Terry, since he was way more interesting than JRPG character #20something. But sometimes you gotta let it slide. Some people even think Crash wouldn't be a big deal. Different perspectives and all that, even if some of them seem weird as hell.

[Noipoi]

The irrelevancy argument is used by people to give their disappointment some weight. If you don’t like the character, that’s perfectly fine. Voicing your disappointment is also perfectly fine, as long as you’re not a jerk about it. But some people want to feel like (or maybe legitimately believe) that their disappointment isn’t just them not liking the current reveal, but a grave mistake made by Sakurai that he must immediately rectify by putting Geno in.

no offense to Geno I love you puppet man

 

[Shroob]

The only time we're allowed to call a character irrelevant is if Gex gets in.

.....I was going to put Bubsy here but he's getting a 2nd modern game soooooo

"I don't like it/don't know about it, thus that means it's literally who that no one has ever heard about."

Yeah, but Gex's games are actually kind of okay. Bubsy is outright garbage. And then there's Awesome Possum who's below Garbage. And Wild Woody who's weird.

Wild Woody is the closest I’ve ever been to God. I laughed so hard I almost died.

Ya know, as much as people meme Bubsy.... I didn't find his 2D games 'bad' outside the terrible fall damage.


To me, his infamy comes from Bubsy 3D, which is a war crime.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I cant keep my character on one hair color or style on AC help

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

To me, his infamy comes from Bubsy 3D, which is a war crime.

tfw the peeps who developed that disaster are still a company and making games to this very day. They're actually a Sony subsidiary, believe it or not.

I wonder how dramatically sales for Syphon Filter or Days Gone would've been affected if they were promoted as "From the studio that brought you Busby 3D"

 

[Shroob]

Don't get me wrong. Bubsy 1+2 aren't 'good' games, but they're not the dumpster fire meme magick that the Internet would have you believe.

They're just below average 90's mascot platformers with fall damage because **** you.

 

[Knight Dude]

"Gex was a Hero, I just couldn't see it"
"You'll get your rent when you fix this damn door"
"Ummmm.......Meow?"
"Have you ever had Shwarma?"
"You know what happens to a toad when it gets struck by lightning? Same thing as everything else."
"You wanna know how I got these scars?"
"Feelin' Lucky, Punk?"
"Ski-doosh"
"Geckos have layers"
"You should have aimed for the head."
"What killed the dinosaurs? The Ice Age."
"Afro Circus"
"Looking like a real double wide surprise.......dayum!"
"I'll have what's she's having."
"BUT WAIT....DERE'S MORE!"
"Ker-chow."
"Shaken, not stirred"
"Time to make you cry like an anime fan on Prom Night."
"But you forgot one thing.....I'm my father's Son!"
"A person is smart, people are dumb."
"I know kung-fu."
"Witness me."
"Some mother****ers always try to iceskate up hill."

I wrote 80% of his dialogue. Where's my check.

I think the infamy of Bubsy 3D and it's unfinished college project-tier quality caused people to reflect on his previous games over time and reexamine their various flaws before they started to bash on them, as well. Eventually all this piled up and it turned Bubsy and his whole franchise into the laughing stock they are now.

It probably doesn't help that the Bubsy games have gotten poor reviews (though one can understand why) from big internet personalities like Jontron and SomecallmeJohnny.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Good night all. We'll see if an direct gets announced tomorrow.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

So PETA has released a "Vegan Guide" to Animal Crossing: New Horizons, because they think the game's demographic shouldn't be fishing or catching bugs in the game because doing so will help somehow prevent much bigger real life problems like overfishing and hunting fish and insects for entertainment purposes.

They also apparently called the game "unethical".

...

Out of all the problems concerning animal safety and preservation in the world, why do they consistently keep taking the time to slam the latest Nintendo games, of all things?

Remember how they slammed that one Mario game over the Tanooki suit?


Despite Tanookis not even being real?

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I do remember that. They were really out of their minds when they did that one.

That being said, I'm fairly certain that Tanookis are based on a real animal with a near-identical nickname. Still doesn't excuse PETA's nonsensical flak over it, though.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

tanukis do exsit. They are just called Racoon Dogs which is what the suit is based off of

 

[SneakyLink]

Tanooki are real though.

They're actually called Tanuki, or a Japanese Racoon Dog.

Edit: Double . Only way this would be more embarrassing is if it were a triple.

 

[Inawordyes]

So, I bought Three Houses in like December, but never actually sat down and started playing it until the beginning of this month. Am I crazy for starting with the Ashen Wolves DLC campaign first and throwing myself into the lions pit with the hardball fights before even doing my first run through so that I could get all the bonuses?

 

[Shroob]

Ya see

I knew they 'existed', but I always just assumed that the suit was based off the yokai moreso than the animal.

I feel like a 2D platformer with fall damage is enough of a sin. It's trash. I don't even think 3D platformers should have them much, but at least in those, you can typically cancel them out with a groud pound.

 

[SneakyLink]

So anyways, I’m thinking of playing an old classic of mine next week.
It’s gonna be the return of... Oink! Although the leaderboards are gone, gonna see if I can top my score. I had the top score back in the day... of 2010.
