That or those folks just don't want to accept the fact accurate Norse myth Thor wasn't handsome and was how he is depicted in God of War: Ragnarok. Red-haired, beard and fat strongman.

tbf why would most people know about Norse mythology accuracy when they can just to to Marvel and enjoy those instead? They can grow into knowing of the original source…then stick to the handsome guy if they want or move on to the other guy that could be deemed handsome

As we approach the end of the year I have one thing to say:

I think I spent too much time playing Blue Sphere. No idea why I enjoy it so much.

Also Sonic CD is my favorite Sonic game. I enjoy the music.

Has anyone tried SVs multiplayer yet?

Like what does it do?

If you're close to one another, the opposite version exclusives will spawn.


It works in Area Zero too


But it's buggy as **** there. There's like a 99% chance you'll be invisible to the other player.

The soundtrack is a true bop. I just wish there was a way to rig it so that Sonic Boom played as the intro song but then used the Japanese ost for the rest of the game.

Also, seriously. If they had managed to add Knuckles to Sonic CD and rigged up a playable Amy in all four games, that would have been oooooo so good.

Also, side note on Pokemon (spoiler): The story makes more sense with Violet

I think the two legendary thing works a little better with Scarlet.

You've got two prehistoric lizards, of course they'd battle for territory. Makes sense.

Two android dragons...why do they give a ****? Use an algorithm to chart out the most proficient distribution of land, lmao

Fair, but I was going for the angle that an AI that goes rouge because he got prideful and didn't add in a kill switch even though his experiments were getting more deadly (and killed him) is taken out of a futuristic sci-fi film. Evem more so that the AI wanted to shut down the experiment.

If it wasn't for Marvel, most people wouldn't even look for the real mythology behind Thor. As inaccurate as it is, the Norse inspiration behind the comics and movies made people aware of it much more than before.

Also, Thor being fat is just as much of a modern retelling as others. In the legends, we know that he was intimidating but there's no sourced mentions about his body shape or face other than his eyes.

If you were unspoiled for all the Pokémon this game and the story,

Read the Scarlet/Violet book. It’s in the lobby of the school to the right on the front desk in a small kiosk separated from everything.

There’s some very promising things in there making for more W’s.

That’s why the story works so well.

The AI is the good person in this situation, because let’s be real, Arvens parent went crazy when he was born.

The professor of your game never played with him as a kid, left him to fend for himself and grow up on his own, prioritizes an experiment that threatens the environment and the world over her own kids survival.

I don’t care what the robot says, Arvens parents hated him. The opposite professor just straight up vanishes when he was born. Which is implied to be of their own will, not the main professors.

Arvens life is just truly ****ed.

Just a random question that came to my mind to Pokemon peeps: You know how Dark and Fairy types were added partially to balance the broken types of the time (respectively Psychic and Dragon)?

If GameFreak were to add another type or two, which types would they be created as an opposition to?

Ironically Fairy is the best type in the game, so probably that.

Doesn't Thor manage to succesfully disguise himself as Freya by crossdressing in one particular story? Twinky femboy Thor confirmed more accurate to Norse mythology than a big burly dude

So yeah Flutter Mane and Iron Hands absolutely break raids.


I'm out here solo-ing Charizard with Mane, and Hands can deal with almost anything as long as I adjust its moveset appropriately.
