James Earl Jones was a legend. RIP.

There goes my “James Earl Jones as King K. Rool” fan-casting.

 

[Shroob]

RIP to James Earl Jones. Legendary career.

 

[KillerCage]

James Earl Jones passed away.

He was 93 years old.

While it’s sad to hear he passed away, James Earl Jones lived a long and fruitful life. I’m not nearly as upset with his passing as I did with Akira Toriyama or Rachel Lillis. Still it is wild that he was the voice of Darth Vader for nearly half a century. That's one heck of a legacy!

What do you mean "Scrapped It"?

Sony reportedly scrapped most of ‘BEYOND THE SPIDER-VERSE’ for creative reasons.

The film is unlikely to release before 2027.

I spent my day flying to Cleveland Ohio.

This uh… sure is a city. I walked next door to the Buffalo Wild Wings because I’m not going to a dive bar or walking more than a block after traveling all day, mother****ers told me they out of wings.

You can’t have **** in Ohio. Very not sigma. -1000 Rizz.

Even worse, you most likely won't leave the state, for no one leaves Ohio.

Good news. The source regarding BtSV being scrapped might not be reliable!

Those poor animators

I wanna be snarky about it since I really don’t get the spider-verse hype. But I do genuinely feel for those animators. I might not like how the movies look but I know that they take a lot of time and effort to make so just getting a tonne of it thrown out like that for reasons that Sony says are creative but probably actually are a result of corporate mandates and copyright bull****tery with Marvel and Disney probably hurts a tonne.

Day 50: Aurorus

This is probably a cold take (pun slightly intended) but Aurorus and Tyrantrum are my favorite fossil Pokemon, and probably the best ones in the series.

I really liked how earlier fossil Pokemon weren't just the species everyone knows from Jurassic Park, but lesser known prehistoric creatures. With that said I'm so happy that we finally got a straight up T-Rex and Sauropod, and they were so well executed.

I want more. I want a Triceratops or a Stegosaurus or an Ankylosaurus next time.

Can you believe it's been 50 days of this ****?

And who would I be without my iconic partner, Pikachu!

You're right.

His name should be Satoshi

 

[Aurane]

Anyone who calls Ash Satoshi is a giant weeb and should knell to me, open their wallet, and give me $200.

just in time for The Answer/Episode Aigis

While it's certainly soundsnin character for LordMiller, it's worth noting that the source of this isn't super reliable

honestly I was kind of hoping the 4 mario bros would all have different VAs this time around. I know we've known Afghani was doing all of them for a while now, but I think it would be cool to have multiple actors doing them so they sound more like different people.

At the same time it means they need to get less people in the recording booth and Nintendo in general is kinda cheap in regard to voice acting so it makes sense why they would continue this tradition

[SneakyLink]

PS5 Pro announced.

Some features include an upgraded GPU, Advanced Ray Tracing, and AI Driven Upscaling.

Will cost $700 and does not include a disc drive.

 

[CannonStreak]

I saw the PS5 pro price, as SneakyLink mentioned. What were they using to make that? 700 dollars?!

I heard the Switch 2 may cost 500 dollars, but that is merciful compared to this PS5 Pro.

I will just stick to my normal PS5.

Best idea, especially since there’s no disc drive.

Those cost $80

There's barely any games as-is that scream "I shouldn't be playable on the PS4". Even Astro Bot, the One PS5 Game™, looks more like it's utilizing features in the PS5's controller than its CPU/GPU.

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

Finally a sequel to this

The PS3 era and PS5 era are nigh-identical. Both consoles have no games and both the PS5 Pro and PS3 has/had terrible pricing.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

imagine spending $700 on a system with officially 1 game when you could get literally anything better with that money…like 200 ICEE drinks or a cool Lego set or tickets to Super Nintendo World…or tickets to a WWE event like WrestleMania 41…

or just Persona 3 Reload: Episode Aigis/The Answer, alongside the rest of the musical and velvet room dlc for only $40

or the jump rope game on the Switch for free

literally anything

The composer has commented on the original report

Don’t really ever want to weigh in on this sort of stuff BUT would you ever believe there could sometimes be stuff on the internet that might not always be particularly accurate? Hmmmm…

— Daniel Pemberton (@DANIELPEMBERTON) September 10, 2024

That makes more sense the initial report seemed kinda iffy but I still don't think we are going to see it for a while anyways, but looks like it will hopefully it will be for regular movie development reasons, not "whole thing is scrapped" reasons or "intense animator crunch" reasons.

 

[Jondolio]

I literally just bought a powerful gaming PC that can play almost every game that the PS5 can and more. I'll pass on the pro

 

[Schnee117]

$700 with no disc drive or vertical stand
Another $110 for the disc drive and vertical stand
-1 games

[Guynamednelson]

Fun fact: The European price for the PS5 Pro is equivalent to $880, and its disc drive, $132.

You might as well buy a gaming PC at that point.

Hey to give Sony credit, they did just release Astro Bot so we are back to 0 games.

Hold up. How much does the stand and **** drive (why that is seperate, i have no idea) cost?
