So I'm playing Dragon Quest Builders 2 and I just finished making a room for two dudes and when night came one went to bed but the other one never came the bed. I was wondering where he was for a few minutes till I looked up and saw he was walking around on the roof of the house

Marianne can literally go Ultra Instinct and that scares me…yet excites me for the fact that I can commit massive slaughters as her

In fairness...

Miyamoto isn't behind PM's major problems.

And Miyamoto is a great game designer, but yeah, he doesn't (IMO) have the greatest takes on story and art direction.

...Also, techincally, PM doesn't need the OCs to sell. As much as I want them back, Origami King popped off and is the bestselling game in the series ATM.
From what I can tell, the Dev Team jad issies, Miyamoto suggested them to simplify it, and the dev team decided to make Sticker Star off his suggestion.

But people act like Miyamoto actively sabatoged all of development and kidnapped every dev of the first 3 and sold his soul to Toad Satan. No, Intellegent Systems just ****ed up and from what I can tell they were happy with SS and didn't even realize people hated it until they were well into Color Splash.
Not necessarily paper Mario, but he definitely has say on the Mario branding. Sometimes he doesn’t always make the best choices.

The legal team is 100 percent the worst though.

Also while, origami king is easily one of the best Games on Switch, peoples biggest complaints and reasons for not buying were no partners and no traditional battle style.

I think if they had that, the game would do numbers considering not other Mario rpg series was left standing to complete with it.

The fact that they were told simplify with SS and said “let’s remove partners and the battle system”

Is something I find hard to believe being entirely IS’s fault when they usually know what’s going on. But who knows what factors could be at play.

Three Hopes Edelgard casually admitting to Monica about allowing her kidnapping and death to happen if needed before she gained strength better than TWSITD only for her to still become happy and simp even harder despite knowing she could have been butchered and replaced with Kronya is kinda pretty much ****ed up

Not a PC player but it's nice to hear that people are already doing things to improve it.

Hopefully the console versions will receive meaningful updates as well. Until they do, I'm most likely going to hold off on buying it.

Top Gun: Maverick just hit a billion dollars. It's even topped Doctor Strange 2.

Definitely earns it.
Gotta say, I wasn't expecting this movie to do anywhere near this well (granted, I wasn't paying much attention to it). I would be shocked if it wasn't in the top 2 highest grossing movies of the year, and I could maybe even see it squeaking ahead of Black Panther 2 to take the #1 slot (Avatar 2 will probably beat both in total, but it's releasing in late December so a decent chunk of it's theatrical run will be in 2023 and therefore doesn't count in this scenario). I wonder if it's success was as much a surprise to Hollywood as it was me, and how it'll impact the industry.

The most remarkable thing about Top Gun Maverick is how people who are very vocal about "hating politics in movies" are praising it into high heavens.

And special effects, I guess.
You’ve got it all wrong.

Political doesn’t mean it relates to political themes, such as war or patriotism.

It just means women and minorities : )

I will not offer you any material possessions, as we are conversing over a long distance using the power of the world wide web.

At best, I will offer a platitude wherein I congratulate the anniversary of the date you were dragged kicking and screaming into this cold world.

In summary:

Happy birthday!

Nice, crypto. I'm gonna invest it in some NFTs.

A real friend would have just doxxed me so they could mail me gifts. Smh.

Two reasons.

It's both nostalgia (Which in this case was done right) and Tom Cruise who alone is star power.

Avatar: The Way of Water
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Jurassic World: Dominion
Minions: The Rise of Gru
The Batman
Thor: Love and Thunder
Top Gun: Maverick

Movies I'm predicting will be in the top ten by the end of the year.

Still honestly surprised Lightyear bombed being it was a Pixar film and based upon Toy Story.

I gotta be honest, I too did not expect Top Gun Maverick to do that well. Like idk I didn't think a movie like Top Gun would be as well recieved in 2022 given the completly different political climate compared to the 80s, nor was Top Gun, let alone Tom Cruise, really relevant in the 21st century.

I gotta wonder... who is the target audience for this movie that they struck gold with? 80s kids? The military? Gen Z? Boomers?

So, people were expecting a regular Direct?

Too bad! Partners' Showcase time!

Seriously, I know this may have been the case for a while, but the Partners' Showcase thing must be really hated.

You know, I guess having over a decade of piss poor 3rd party support made Nintendo fans just reject the idea of 3rd party games.

Idk, my only guess why they hate partner directs
Look at this guy over here implying Ninjabread Man isn't the greatest game in all of creation.
