Social The Social Thread 3.2.2 - Switch 2 Hype Time!

[Will]

There is a reason the saying "history repeats itself" exists. We must shed our hubris and entitlement first.

Ha, like that’s ever gonna happen. cue All Star by Smash Mouth

 

[Z25]

You answered your question the moment you finished typing Florida

Lol, that’s the closest one to me. It’s also 1000 times better than the disaster that the Florida Disney parks have become. Went to Halloween horror nights for the first time last year and it was really neat. Would love to see them take inspiration from the other parks as Japan’s always looks like a lot of fun.

Now you can play as the BattleBus in Fortnite:

Spoiler: Rest of the new bundle

This is funny as hell lmao.

I can’t wait for the battle bus to team up with the G.I Joe in Fortnite.

On a different topic

Now that Spider-Verse is out, I think TMNT is my most anticipated movie of the year. I was never a TMNT kid but that movie just looks really good

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I feel like if scientists were somehow going to bring any extinct species back, it should be something that doesn't have much potential to mess up the ecosystem like some recently extinct subspecies of birds.

It's heartbreaking when a species goes extinct, but it may be for the best to not mess with nature on this level.

Got it

This game started throwing me into random ass Cecilia events beacuse this basic ***** is the default marrage option if you havent proposed to anyone so I hurried up and proposed to Gustafa to shut that **** out

Okay the Battle Bus is kinda genius. Also that is a kickass Bumblebee design

Let's do something simple like, idk an extinct breed of cow like they're doing over in Europe, or like, idk the Dodo.


Not a goddamn elephant.

Bottom hubris.

Yeah Sheen it's Jimmy's job to play God smh

Yeah Sheen it's Jimmy's job to play God smh

Idk, Sheen did get his own planet

I'm not even sure if bringing back the Dodo is possible at this point.

But it'd almost certainly cause far less issues than somehow successfully bringing back something ancient that went extinct many, many centuries ago.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Idk, Sheen did get his own planet

and then he fumbled the bag countless times…Libby probably found someone better anyways

 

[TheMightyP]

Still stuck up there for all we know

 

[Z25]

Still stuck up there for all we know

“Sheen died on his way back to his home planet”

 

[TMNTSSB4]

“Sheen died on his way back to his home planet”

Did he even bother continuing his attempts to go back home after his show got cut? I’m starting to think Jimmy and the gang stopped giving a **** and decided to erase Sheen from the history books.

So we all know NASB2 is definitely coming and I think I'm coming around on that box art leak too.

Spoiler

I do still think cutting off significant parts of the box art, including Vlad's face, is really shady.

But at the same time, would a fake leak really go out of its ways to make all new renders for Spongebob, Patrick, Korra, ect before new characters?

I'm still gonna play both sides so I can't lose. Besides since most people seem to just be accepting it as real someone needs to play devil's advocate on it.

I've probably thought harder about the credibility of this leak then anyone else tbh

 

[CannonStreak]

The FTC is trying hard to use Bethesda as an example that Microsoft will use Activision and Call of Duty for exclusives.

Problem is, Microsoft has already offered contracts to keep that from happening, testified under oath, and has shown it would be financially impossible pic.twitter.com/MqEHwHHz1W

It does not seem the FTC is trying so hard to stop this acquisition of Activision-Blizzard by Microsoft.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

I feel like it'd be easier to resurrect a species that went extinct RECENTLY rather than bend over backwards to drag mammoths out of the spirit realm when they've been dead for ages.

I think with how the game kinda, bombed post release, people are more just like "Yeah, aight sure, cool ig."


There's still plenty of margin for it to be fake, but I think most people are just taking a "Oh, sure, I guess" stance.

You mean Darkvortex? Yeah, I saw. This is saddening.

Mamoswine and Great Tusk about to be real

Until it dies from obvious birth defects...They're just wasting money and resources by doing this.

Can't we focus on the endangered animals alive that need our help rather than resurrecting ones that went extinct thousands of years ago (Last mammoths living on Wrangel Island until 4,000 years ago).

 

[TMNTSSB4]

with the sharpie comment thrown in there (based on their documents having certain key info nearly blocked off by sharpie highlighting)…maybe not so good

 

[Michael the Spikester]

A mammoth is going to get killed for meat the moment they bring one back And then they will be Extinct all over again

That or the heat will kill it in a day

None of that will be needed. That's where the birth defects come in. Scientists back in 2003 briefly brought back the now extinct Pyrenean ibex only for it to die several minutes later. If they can't bring that back, what are the chances a mammoth will do any better?

 

[CannonStreak]

Here's the thing about reviving mammoths; many animals back in the ice age died from either change in climate or hunting. I believe the mammoth is one of them. That said, the mammoths probably won't stand today's climate, so with that, I think the scientists should focus on the issue of climate change before reviving mammoths.

I thought scientists were smart.

with the sharpie comment thrown in there (based on their documents having certain key info nearly blocked off by sharpie highlighting)…maybe not so good

Well, if they lose, Sony is going to be a sore loser about it. Sony plans to keep all things related to the PS6 from Activision-Blizzard if the former loses.

 

[Shroob]

They're just wasting money and resources by doing this.

So, the government.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I think the scientists should focus on the issue of climate change before reviving mammoths.

And the endangered animals still alive.

 

[CannonStreak]

And the endangered animals still alive.

Yeah, that too. Sorry, I forgot about that.

 

[Wario Bros.]

The Nintendo Direct made it clear that a Pokémon Presents is in the near future, and I feel it'll be around July.

And some noticed the first Pokémon movie will turn 25 in July so maybe that could be something.

 

[SneakyLink]

This will all end soon. How's it looking for the Sony/FTC side?

The judge literally called out the FTC for defending Sony's market share more than defending consumers.

Seriously they talked more about Microsoft potentially taking Call of Duty away from PlayStation or MS potentially having exclusive content in CoD (granted they did that years ago during the 360 era, but still... Sony does it now, which the MS lawyer called out) than anything else.



And in non Court news, yet more Splatoon 3 NSO icons are now available and Pinball FX flips to the Switch next week with a decent amount of the new tables from other versions (play the Crypt of the NecroDancer table. It's fun)
