Learning with Pibby is now at 1.1 million views on YouTube.

For the record off the top of my head, The only videos on the Adult Swim YouTube to reach those views in two days, are Rick and morty ones.

That’s pretty big for Adult Swim, and definitely helps in getting content made from the short.

 

[TheMightyP]

Eternals is at a 59%, huh?

Well, Madagascar is at a 54% and that movie is a cinematic masterpiece, Eternals could never.

Also, fun fact, that series had better critic scores the more it progressed. It started from 54, to 64, to 78

osby I don’t have a PS2, so will I be missing anything significant if I only play 3 Portable and miss out on FES?

 

[Rizen]

Lmao, I'm just saying don't put too much stock into a site dedicated to for Smash Bros filled with literal children and a ****ty notifcation system. No need for the passive agressiveness.

Complains about passive aggressiveness >yet starts post with Lmao. Welcome to my ignore list.

Since Osby's not here, I will say this.


FES completes 3's story and gives motivation to the characters going forward, so it is important to the overall plot of 3.


However, you can play every Persona game independently without needing to really play any prior ones since their story's pretty self-contained, but FES IS important for 3's plot.

I really like that Pibby pilot but as it is now I can't help but feel that it needs something else as a hook in addition to the whole "Cartoons but Evil" angle. Like as it is now It could be a pretty interesting TV Movie but I'm not sure how it could hold my interest as a TV series.

But it is just that, a Pilot, so any kinks and more in depth things will get ironed out and added if it gets greenlit so I'm still optimistic that it can be something special.

I think the best way to do it is simple.


Not start with the "Cartoon but EVIL???!" and build up to it over a few episodes.



Like, imagine if Pibby plays it straight for 2-3 episodes, and then just, drops the beat on episode 3. It's what Madoka did with the infamous scene of Mami getting her head bit off.

 

[TheMightyP]

Well that was something.

Anyways, Pibby looks unique. I'm glad it got the reception that it deserved, so hopefully Adult Swim picks it up.

 

[Þe 1 → Way]

I’m excited for Pippy, looks like a good meta show that didn’t show much more than the main idea. I just wanna know what was up with the Spongebob background, I know it was a proof of concept but given the animation quality I find strange that nobody caught that.

Going the Wandavision route and having things slowly unravel would make a lot of sense.

At the very least, i think the first episode could play like they but then end with Bun Bun being taken.

Alternatively, we could spend time in each show learning about how things when down and how characters survived. Example, how did Darwin survive, and the rest of the waterson familydidn’t.

Or how the hell did Johnny and Plank get out of there? These characters likely wouldn’t stay as main stays,so this implies there’s a safe haven for characters somewhere, or a way to ward the static off.

Or maybe we see more then Pibby crossover imto
Other worlds. Perhaps characters like Muriel could visit worlds like Adventure time till it gets destroyed.

Playing off of character interactions is what could really sell the show imo.

Also props if the static is actually tied into the void from the amazing world ofGumball.

Not even just Spongebob, there’s Rockos’s modern life, black and white cartoons, The cat is based on the Disney afternoon shows, they visit commercials, the sidekick is from a world clearly inspired by the golden age of comics look.

This is basically channel chasers but on crack.

As for SMT, you've going to be in a bit of a rough spot tbh since.... like, where do start there?


SMT 1 and 2 never came out in the US and suffer from "Very old game" syndrome.


Nocturne(SMT3) is the most accessible as of right now due to the remaster.


Strange Journey, 4 and 4A all cost an arm and a leg physical.


And of course, for you Snake, difficulty is a concern, and SMT is notoriously hard, with SMT4 having one of the most infamously difficult "1st boss", and no real "easy mode" to speak of iirc.



I'd stick with Nocturne and go straight into 5 tbh, but even then, Nocturne is very labyrinthian due to its older design and isn't super clear about what to do or where to go all the time, on top of insane spawn rates and having to save at certain areas, so no saving wherever, which means a death can set you back considerably.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

yeah yeah Pibby looks great and all but they still let Young Justice get away with killing Superboy and I will never forgive them for that

Ok but I literally can’t play FES so…

I was gonna start with 3 on merciful via the switch then go to 5. The other games in the series are as you say. I can’t play 1, 2, or if, and Strange Journeys and 4 are inaccessible to me unless you can buy them digital on the 3DS eshop but even then what you said about the difficulty makes me want to stay away. Yeah. I’m just gonna stick to 3 and 5 for now.

Yeah, if you can't, then don't worry about it. Just be aware that any time the characters show up in future media, it's post-FES. Which is to say that the ARENA games are canon to the Persona narrative.


And you can buy them on the 3DS E-shop iirc. However, Strange Journey's a 1st person dungeon crawler/RPG hybrid. TBH, I didn't find this one hard, but 4/4a definitely have difficulty spikes.


Will warn though that what I said holds true. You can't save whenever in Nocturne, so be prepared to get killed by something dumb and have hours of progress wasted.

I'm not sure how to describe it, but Season 1 of Spongebob just straight up has a different vibe than the rest of the rest of the series.


Like, it's pretty... heartfelt? In comparision to the more chaotic moments of season 2 and beyond.

Many shows feel different in their first seasons. It’s the second and third seasons where the team really gets a feel for what they’re doing with the show.

Artwise, too. It was definitely animated a lot like Rocko, Doug, Catdog, and the like, with the following seasons really establishing a style of its own.

Comparing Gravity Falls Seasons 1 and 2 is like watching two separate shows - I can only dream of what season three would have been like.

In all fairness, the end of 1 was when the series started heating up, since that's when they introduced Bill and started hinting at Stan's true identity

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Made it through Island 1 of Regular Sun. The handholding isn't too bad if you just mash A through it.

Lost 3 Pokémon, including my starter (Rowlet) which sucks but we soldier on anyways. The current team is:

• Fluffee the Cottonee,
• Barzoople the Magnemite,
• BiggieSmalls the Makuhita,
• Punished the Alolan Meowth,
• and Adelle the Rockruff

This run's also gotten lucky to be able to set up the necessary dupes for Honedge in Ultra Sun (Stufful and Alolan Raticate–who will come out ONLY for the Elite Four). We'll see if I get the lucky Minior when I get to Mount Hokulani (it's 3:4 for Minior and 1:4 for the unlucky early Beldum), but I'm not as concerned as that given Aegislash is busted on its own.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

with SMT4 having one of the most infamously difficult "1st boss"

I mean, the only issue with the Minotaur fight is that you get a partner in that fight and it has a 33% chance of being the one who casts fire on the boss who is immune to fire, making the fight luck dependant in a franchise where weaknesses and immunities are so important in the specific installment where that aspect gets dialed to 11

I mean, yeah, but Minotaur is still considered one of the hardest JRPG 1st bosses even by SMT fans due to both that and Labrys Strike.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I'm aware but I think it's so disappointing that the boss that makes sure you understand the game has a 33% chance of being damn near unwinnable, as for Labrys Strike, it's meant to go "HEY STUPID USE TARUNDA OR RAKUKAJA IDEALLY BOTH IN EITHER ORDER". It's a shame as the very next boss, Medusa, forces players to learn that this isn't like Pokemon where you have bonds with the demons but rather how you should always fuse new **** with different immunities ajd weaknesses

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

The topic is more about a good starting point and Minotaur's known to be more frustrating as the game randomly makes the fight unwinnable due to 4's Smirk system and one of the 3 partners you'll get in the fight constantly giving Minotaur free Smirk, Matador's 'lol dodge' gimmick by comparison is much easier to deal with

If you have Fog Breath, that is.

Going in, I knew about Fog Breath ahead of time, but if someone doesn't, it'll be dodge city.

Tbf that's the thing with SMT bosses, you save, fight the boss and throw random **** and see how they react, get killed and plan around it with Dekunda, Sukunda or as you mentioned, Fog Breath alongside weaknesses

 

[Metal Shop X]

Joel Vinesauce playing Yume Nikki is one hell of a surprise, but I ain't complaining. Far from it in fact.

Once I'm back from work, definitely gonna watch his YN video in full.

Apparently both the director (Mark Dindal) and the writer (David Reynolds) of this Garfield movie also respectively directed and wrote The Emperor's New Groove among other notable films

Holy crud, could this be good?

TENG is peak comedy. But Garfield is practically the exact opposite.

Talk about a 50/50.

Yeah, it's got a more down to earth vibe by comparison.

Early Simpsons felt like that too. More "Soul". But I think Spongebob's identity stayed more consistent, not too many gags about modern tech or whatnot. Granted now, the whacky faces got turned up to 11 and feels like the animated equivalent of over-acting, but it has its place.

It's been a hot minute since I watched Young Justice but it feels to me like the series just keeps going downhill from season to season

Outsiders was dog**** so and since it's been so long I was hoping the writers would take some of the criticism people have against it to heart, but them killing off one of the OG team members makes it seem like they're just doubling down on what they were already doing

I felt Season 2 was my favorite by far. Season 3 was weaker since Brion and Halo I couldn't really give a **** about. Would've liked more episodes about guys like Blue Beetle and Static. I heard Nightwing's arc this season might have to do with the Red Hood, which I hope is the case cause Jason did get glossed over

I enjoyed season 1 the most

Season 2 was good but the team dynamic of S1 was pretty much gone so it wasn't exactly what I wanted in a folllow up. Season 3 was just straight up dog**** imo and s4 sounds like it's gonna continue to be dog****
