Huh, man I don't remember that and I owned that game.

Granted, it's been over a decade.

I didn't know it either until I played it again semi-recently.

Learning that finally let me unlock TT and would have made the adventure mode 1000 times easier.

I'm not sure it was intentional but it's certainly a part of the game.

Seen it just now and this looks awesome!

Spoiler: Spider-Man: No Way Home

• At least I do have a feeling I know where Wong went. After all, he did appear in Shang-Chi & the Legend of the Ten Rings where he fought against Abomination.
• Loving the tease of Norman Osborn's Green Goblin and the return of Alfred Molina's Doc Ock.

Was at my sofa when my father came in and slapped me in the arm for being awake at 7am.

Yeah, that sucked.

Edit: he legit just came back just to try to start a dumb fight with me about not answering something the exact second he asked It.

Best scene from the NWH trailer, hands down:

[Jondolio]

From the trailer and the leaks, No Way Home sounds to me like a fanfiction in movie form.
Whether that is good or bad remains to be seen

Hearing about the way your father treats you frustrates the hell out of me.

You ever come up with a plan on finally getting away from him?

It's quite tough as right now getting a job isn't easy, and more so getting to buy a house due to all the speculation and scams going around.

At the moment I'll just try to finish my studies, complete college and maybe when I do become a teacher I get enough money to afford a place to live in.
Or hopefully meet someone at some point who could leave me a good hand with that.

I’m currently in the process of max rarity’ing my HERO deck, and man, I am really glad I picked up this deck before the new support was announced.

I bought 3x Faris and 2x Increase for $18 and $11 each respectively, but now, good luck finding either of those cards below $30. Same thing is happing to cards like Fusion Destiny, which was under $1 for both printings awhile back, but the moment people realized how good D-Hero Phoenix Enforcer is as a replacement for Dragoon in the Verte Engine it started spiking like crazy. It’s not almost a $5 card.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

DK64 over SM64?

DK Barrel Blast vs any Mario game on the Wii.

Would you rather a bloated experience or awful controls? Pick your poison.

And I don’t know about Barrel Blast. Bust DKCR runs circles around what Mario’s doing.

I wonder if they changed that on the DS port.

You talking about a movie or a Build engine game?

 

[Rizen]

I like Marvel movies, especially Spiderman but am worried about being in an area as packed as theaters even though I'm vaccinated. The new covid variants are extremely contagious. I'll probably wait until No Way Home is streamable to watch it.

Movie ofc lol

 

[TMNTSSB4]

I actually just watched the trailer, this movie's seems like it's gonna be a cluster****, whether it's of the good or bad variety remains to be seen

it’ll be as awesome of a **** cluster as Endgame and Spider-Verse were…but more importantly it’s a trilogy that’s actually gonna have all mostly praise for the first time in Spider-Man history (unless 3 seasons of a series counts)

Donkey Kong is better then Mario any day of the week on any system. Quote me on that.

Donkey has Funky…Mario has Luigi…hmmmm

Wong is probably going on an early retirement vacation due to being a bad fighter against chads

The new variants are exactly why I think Shang-Chi, Eternals, and No Way Home probably aren't gonna do well especially since they're theater-exclusive and folks would rather stay at home to watch new movies.

Hell any film following mid-September I potentially see getting delayed again.

I just caught up with The Owl House. I thought Season 1 was fun but Season 2 honestly feels like a huge step up to me. Posting thoughts since I know there's a lot of TOH fans in this thread.

Spoiler: Random Thoughts

- Luz's character feels way less cheesy to me this season. In Season 1 she spent a lot of time trying to mimic Azura, but in season it feels like they're exploring her as a character more. Episodes like Finding Palisman for instance touches on how her two big motives (becoming a witch and getting back home) contradict each other, but also kind of brings to light how shallow her motive for becoming a witch (because she liked a certain book series) really was. I think this gives her a lot more depth and I feel like a theme in the second half of Season 2 will be her finding a more personal reason to master magic.

- Luz/Amity romance is handed really well. This goes back to my last point again - in season 1 Luz was just trying to befriend Amity because she was trying to copy characters in a book, but in season 2 she's developed her own feelings for Amity and seems more motivated by that instead. This again makes Luz a stronger character. It's also just refreshing to see a show not beat around the bush too much with the romantic subplot.

- People always talk about positive LGBT+ representation but I also really appreciate how Eda's curse is being treated as an allegory for disability and mental illness in Season 2, and honestly it's being handled pretty well. It reminds me a lot of Celeste, especially now that Eda is learning to communicate with The Owl Beast - I wonder if Dana Terrace took inspiration from there. As someone with Social Anxiety and ASD, this is a theme that really resonates with me. While were at it, it's also worth noting that Emperor Belos's curse has a lot of similarities to Eda's - perhaps they'll be potential foils in the future?

- The show is still not quite as dark in tone as I originally expected it to be but I'm okay with that. This threw me off a tiny bit at first because I think I let Gravity Falls and to a lesser extant Amphibia paint my initial expectations for it at first, as well as the macabre aesthetic of the show. Despite it's appearance it's honestly a really light hearted show in the grand scheme of things, but that's also a big strength in some ways. The characters tend to be pretty likeable by default which is good for such a character-driven show, and lightheartedness also lends really well to depicting LGBT+ characters and relationships as something positive.

- Give us more Willow and Gus! I really like those characters but despite being treated as important, I feel like they could be given more depth. Also Gus has a blue chameleon partner now which makes him based.

I read too far into the themes in silly cartoon shows lol.

I'm really hoping the super short Season 3 doesn't result in a rushed ending. It's a show that deserves better.

 

[Deleted member]

Give us more Willow and Gus!

Yes! And more of the Blight Twins please.
Also yeah, Season 2 is a really strong improvement and this comes from someone who really liked Season 1.

So guys.

I just came back from my bike and train trip this week. Nothing special really. Took train to said town, visited the local library, had a big breakfast, cycled to place, walking around of said place, went back and got train home. Outside of some cool fog nothing interesting happened.

From that trip though it's made me have some thoughts about myself. And it's a bit LGBTQ+ related and how I see things since my mind has been maturing after a mental delay and bad childhood.

I wouldn't mind hearing some thoughts but would people be up for hearing it?

No problem for me, although I would watch out by talking about It specifically here.

The last time I talked really openly about LGTB stuff here... It turned out quite bad.

I will say its pretty much between Tom Holland or Tobey Maguire for me. Whilst Andrew Garfield is a good actor, I wasn't particularly a fan of his interpretation of Peter Parker/Spider-man in my opinion.

 

[Wademan94]

Here’s what I think Timmy Turner’s specials could be if he made it in Nick All Stars:

Neutral B: Heat Vision-works similar to ROB’s/Kazuya’s

Up B: Poof Out-Teleportation recovery

Side B: Hot Rod-Drives a small car around similar to Wario/Bowser Jr.

Backwards Side B: Time Scooter-Drives backwards and recovers a bit of health but is much faster and riskier

Down B: Wish Selection-Hero’s down B, number of wishes such as Invisibility and briefly pausing opponents

Yeah but if they have a problem with it, it doesn't affect them. And I'd rather tell me than pms.

Character will always be more important than disabilities, skin colour or who you love. Which is why I'm strongly against anyone saying crap about those with autism or LGBT or different skin colour.
Unless you are one of the few who end up becoming very close friends who visit each other IRL then they can always use the ignore list.

I've a simple rule in life JD.

Don't touch my **** without asking and respect my personal space (doubly so audio) and we'll get along fine unless you are a chav or a millie. Close friends are excluded from both rules.

I get that, and I'm glad that you feel more confident about sharing that kind of stuff here.

Wish I could be as confident, but It is what It is.

The ending of Far From Home was quite open to interpretation.

The supposed main idea is that Mysterio did indeed die and that he had an edited recording prepared which his team would use to reveal Peter's identity to the world and turn It entirely against him.
But they wrote the whole thing open enough to make It so Mysterio could come back if they wanted to.

So yeah, It really was a lot of stuff to speculate about.
