what'd they do this time

They're delisting games, DLC, and Online Services off Steam. That happens, but they're going a step further and also making said games 100% unplayable even if you own it, even if the games are single player.

 

[Noipoi]

Y'all want some blurry ass images of Pokemon S/V gym leaders?

Spoiler: Possible spoilers

Supposedly the types are Bug, Grass, Water, Ice, Normal, Electric, Psychic and Ghost. Of course, take this all with a grain of salt. I think it looks kinda legit tho, at least in terms of artstyle.

 

[Z25]

And the tweet's gone...

Well that's very interesting, anyway, heres a rpeost with apparently more?

Spoiler: Potentiall BIg Scarlet And Violet Leaks

There was a problem fetching the tweet

There is a lot here to be just made up. While those new pokemon look wierd as hell, those gym leader designs are on point and very consistent with the game.

Khu did imply the 1st gym leader is a waifu, and people would definitely pop off for this design.

Got out of bed at 2 pm today.

No sir, I do not like it.

Khu also riddled we had a hint to one of the characters shown in the first trailer, and we have the person with Magnemite buns, and we saw Magnemite in the first trailer

 

[Noipoi]

Hope this means we get a trailer soon.

This is a very great point. No one knew what the clue was, but thought it was the spider web. It being a random pokemon in the trailer is way more on brand with their riddles.

 

[Pokelego999]

They do tend to show up just before trailers, so I hope so

Saying this mainly cause I want more Pokemon news but still

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Who cares about ScarVio leaks, Arachdjinn and Gen 9-ian Oddish are fake and my heart has not known peace since

[Dukefire]

I'm getting more excited about Scarlet and Violet when released later this year (Will not look up leaks to maintain my new experience). For Klonoa, I'm getting it on a physical copy.

Also, people are starting speculation again about another Nintendo Direct this month. To me, the Nintendo Direct Mini was our news for the summer and will not get another one until fall.

Wait, Ubisoft is doing that for the Steam Platform? I don't play their games on PC, but for those that do, I can feel your pain.

This feels.... oddly peculiar, given the new girl we've seen in Frontiers pre release

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Oh, you mean even better Claude?

now that is quite the take to have, and this is from the guy who is loving the idea of Harley as a hero...and also thinks Ferdinand may be one of the best units to use in Three Hopes

Because, personaly, unlike edelgard, The way Claude acted actually plays into his actual personaity, making him and even better character to me

I'm on team fake, or at least very sceptical.

They got the art style down, but 1) pokemon fans have proven they can be extremely dedicated to the art of fakery and 2) it's got that blurry bigfoot camera, which is a big red flag.

Could see this one going either way though.

Also love the watermarks, clout chasing twitter leakers are jokes.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

I've decided to educate myself on the raw strangeness that is Sonic X, and somehow this show feels everything like Kirby: Right Back At Ya and nothing like Kirby: Right Back At Ya at the same time.

 

[Aurane]

I don't need SV leaks.

I need

Pizza.

Right Back at Ya

Ok so there may be another crazy leak associated with these leaks, and it’s for an evolution of a Pokémon that deserved it:

Spoiler: Potential Scarlet and and Violet leak

This is such a clean model and looks exactly like something Gamefreak would make. I love this!

Really hoping this is real.

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

Hey everyone, I was looking for more Pokeleaks and I found this one!

Spoiler

I am guessing perhaps a Normal-type? Could be the evolutionof the regional rodent? I would say it's like a mouse mixed with a gopher or something. The leaker said it tends to wear a leaf on its head so could be Normal/Grass. Looks cool.

I like the tail head being the hood, it's so cute. Hopefully, if this is real, this makes it good as the poor thing has a neat concept held back by being a awkward single stage Gen 2 Pokemon.

DAILY DEMON SHOWCASE

This showcase's demon is of the Drake race:

View attachment 356355

“ME DRAKE ASP! ME LOOK AT YOU ENEMY, IT SLEEP! ME EAT IT WHOLE SLOW!”

Alignment: Light-Neutral

Origin: Egyptian mythology. Asp, or aspis is a term used to refer to several kinds of venomous snakes living near the River Nile. The word itself means “viper” but the most well-known asps are Egyptian cobras. Asps were considered to be royal symbols in Ancient Egypt and their poison was used in executing respected people. One legend tells that they were born from Medusa’s blood and another says that Cleopatra used one to painlessly end her life.

Skills: Dream Needle, Toxic Spray, Eat Whole, Rakunda

Next time, you will meet a demon of the Herald race.

Spoiler: Design Notes

Asp feels like a random choice for a demon at first but there’s actually quite a bit of lore surrounding them, even if most of them are from Roman Egypt and medieval sources. Needless to say, most modern historians don’t believe that Cleopatra actually used them. But given how much of a snake theme she has in SMT, I’d expect her to summon Asp as a partner in her boss battles.

Because of this series I want fanart of Osby as a SMT-esque Pokemon Professor. Like if Professor Oak and Igor did the Fusion Dance and then he cosplayed as the result.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Because, personaly, unlike edelgard, The way Claude acted actually plays into his actual personaity, making him and even better character to me

for me his alternate version felt like a downgrade. Sure Hopes Claude could still work a scheme, but him occasionally letting anger come out, thinking it made sense to team with Edelgard despite their different ways in wanting equality, deciding to kill Rhea for the sake of his deal with Edie, and purposely letting Randolph be a sacrifice (and then died) to fulfill his own mission didn’t sit well with me.

a bonus thing that made me suffer thanks to him is his version of the Byleth and Jeralt recruit…because his ass thinking it was smart to stay still or walk very slowly while Fyleth (cause I mostly use her over him) runs right after him, making it harder to recruit them both was a massive pain

did like learning more about his original life and old name however, but overall I prefer how he was in the Three Houses timelines as a whole. The whole fun, smart, and friendship powered ways were nice, combined with him originally coming off as the one who’d mentally and emotionally need Byleth the least out of the house leaders and the church

People that think they're hot **** for having info early are so ****ing weird.
And then there's Khu who's also a ****ing incel.
