I'm honestly still surprised this game was allowed to be released outside of Japan because of how Xenophobic most places like reddit and twitter actually are.
Whats funny is most people on Twitter understood why there is xenophobia and racism in the game to begin with.

Jammed my thumb in the hotel bathroom door. It has two swinging doors instead of a proper door. Why?

Van Zieks is the poster boy of racism in The great Ace Attorney because he will call Ryunosuke Nipponese at the drop of a hat

And what's great is that he became one of my fav characters later on in the games too

I wonder, is Blue Striped Basculin going to evolve into Basculegion as well, or will it have a split evolution?

And if it does evolve into the Basculegion, will there be more differences between the red/blue forms then just appearance and one ability slot?

my office, probably
I think my current planned team for Legends consists of Decidueye, Garchomp, and Basculegion. Not sure what else, but I might try to rotate my team and experiment with a bunch of Pokémon I've never used before. With how open this game seems to be, it's appropriate.

That was apparently Nintendo’s fault right? I think I remember that Eon, MGM, Activision, Rare, Nintendo, and Microsoft were all on board until one of the higher ups at Nintendo didn’t like that the game would look better on 360 than on Wii and had the game shut down. I remember hearing that but I’m not sure if it’s true.

Either way, now that IOI has the VG rights right now and Nintendo and Microsoft are much more buddy buddy, if there ever was a time to do it it’s right now.
The one hiccup is getting the actors to agree to have their likenesses used again. Which like… for companies the size of Nintendo and Microsoft, that shouldn’t be a problem at all.

Honestly, I liked this episode even more than the second one.

I really like the approach they took with T'Challa in this episode, and his motivations were ones which I deeply felt connected with (wanting to explore the universe, helping out people anywhere I go, making new friendships and all that.

It also had some really funny situations, such as the twist they had with characters such as Thanos or Korath. It was nice to see those doing good guys stuff to put It in a way.

And yeah, this episode did also have a lot of emotional strength as It was one of Chadwick Boseman's last works. I still miss him, as I feel he was a great actor who was truly passionate about the stuff he worked on.

So yeah, so far this series is delivering as much as Falcon & The Winter Soldier did for me.

The actors would either agree or disagree. You can't force people to lend their faces with money lol.

I'm pretty sure that's a toned down version of calling a black man the N word.


The writing doesnt condone his actions but it does give a reason for why he's like this and he grows out of it the more he interacts with Ryu.

He's also fabulous as ****.


I wonder how Phoenix would react to seeing Ryunosuke if they happend to cross paths in some freak accident
Here's hoping for a future Project X Zone game then lol.

I love how, after a while, Ryu just brushes Zieks little racist moments aside and ignores them

Hey people, what do ya'll usually do when the weather is really hot where you live?

Asking because there's currently a really strong haze from Africa going on in Gran Canaria and I don't know what to do to get over the heat.

Stay indoors, keep the room dark, crank up the fan, wear short clothes, stay hydrated, make offerings to appease the sun and move as little as possible. And maybe try to find a distraction.

Catch me getting all the ribbons at the Pokémon Contest with my Darkrai by doing a sick performance to this song:
If only you could choose any song for those, lol.

T’Challa being the better Star Lord is amazing. Knowing that he could’ve stopped Phase 3 from ever happening, and that Nebula would be such a mother ****ing queen with the good hair is perfect.

We only have 3 more times we’ll get to hear Chadwick moving forward, and then we’ll have our hearts wrecked some more.

also Howard the Duck continues to be amazing
but more importantly…it isn’t genocide if it’s random…oh Thanos
