When I was a kid I drew a fake tumbleweed pokemon that was really just a tumbleweed with eyes. It was a terrible and uninspired design but I just thought that it would be a cool concept for a grass/ghost type.

I was really hoping that one day someone at Gamefreak would have the same idea and make something more interesting but uh

Yeah no, tumbelweed with eyes just isn't that interesting.

Really cool idea, just hard to execute I guess.
One way I thought about how they could improve it would be if the branches or center filled up with different things. Like what if it was a tumbleweed that as it rolled through the desert, picked up different items, katamari style. Each one has a select amount of objects it could carry into its design. With different placements to make it stand out. Give it a signature move where it uses these items to different effects.

Would be a pretty fun idea.

The fact that two more episodes of Velma aired today and the internet has barely talked about it, really shows that the hate watching has likely died down big time.

I just played some Multiversus today, after not touching it for a month.

... definitely remember why I haven't touched this for a month. I'm not sure if it's the game's servers or my (****ty) internet, but the game is genuinely unplayable most of the time.

I watched all 4 episodes today. The show has its issues but the hate was way overblown. Really just an easy topic for free clout.

Side note, my Grandma is watching Velma for some reason, I didn't even know my fam had HBO Max

The more I think about it, the more I realize that Grossology and the PBS classic WordGirl are the same show
  • Educational focus (Grossology on science, WordGirl on...words)
  • Comical story about kids who work as heroes but keep it a secret (Grossology with secret agents, WordGirl with superheroes)
  • A wide rogue's gallery of villains with different, wacky focuses
  • The main villain used to be on the side of the heroes, and suffered an invention mishap that altered their head's appearance
  • One of the villains is rather large but surprisingly likable, and eventually falls in love with a female villain
  • One of the villains is the same age as the protagonists and simps for the heroic girl who is NOT into him
  • Annoying blonde girl (although in WordGirl's case she's more subjectively annoying, as Athena P can tell you)
  • Banger theme songs
When am I gonna get my Grossology-WordGirl crossover, PBS?! I NEED IT

Honestly, Velma or any other show (or media really), I just don't see the point of getting that ****ing mad over something you don't like. I most go, "ah that sucks" and move on.

Though if (when) they **** up the Black and White remakes, I may have to break that; I will be obnoxiously toxic. Consider this a warning.

To celebrate Fire Emblem Engage, there’s now icons for the title through the Switch Online app
I shall now hope for a Chloe or Timerra icon

Nomura was responsible for the main character designs in TWEWY.

God what year is it? this is some ancient ass discourse

This is a battle completely made up because of Gamers™️ being weird
inb4 the roles reverse if a NASB2 occurs…then nobody outside of Smash wins or something I guess


oh well…I’m gonna engage with some strangers

Honestly dude TWEWY is full of that stylistic ****, if you have the time, I recommend at the very least checking the games out.
NTWEWY is so ****ing underrated, I will never resent SE for not even giving it 5 seconds of promotion at E3 and next to no marketing and then going "Oh it underperformed". Original managed to capture the street youth feel of the times and the sequel captures modern street youth well in that regard too.

Real ruh-roh moment.
I said this on the profile posts but I don't think Hate Watching is as much of a thing as the internet thinks, I think many people just like to use that phrase so they can comprehend people outside of the internet having different interests than them.

It is still a thing though.
Wasn't Velma greenlit for a 2nd season before it even aired?


I've seen it and it's..........a thing.


I don't like it, that's for sure, but it's not awful.
This, it was renewed for season 2 when they greenlit the show. I said it yesterday, but HBO max gives everything two seasons to start. Then your either getting canceled or renewed, depending on how bad the executives week was.
I just played some Multiversus today, after not touching it for a month.

... definitely remember why I haven't touched this for a month. I'm not sure if it's the game's servers or my (****ty) internet, but the game is genuinely unplayable most of the time.
It has to do with things like not being hardwire to your wifi( if your not) and how the game inputs lag.

Saw a really fascinating video on this the other day actually:

At about 5:30 they break down the issues with online, how it works and ways it can be improved.

Read the comics
The Archie stuff is all non cannon and super convoluted and pretty much every character originating in them has been banished to the shadow realm because of either DiC or Penders. I do read the IDW stuff though and love all the new characters and stories they've been doing.

Muttski's design is cute, but I'm not a fan of Spike or Dylan's tbh.
