Do people care about love stories anymore?

Cuz I’ve been working on a concept that I really like. It’s not like one of those overly schmaltzy Hallmark movies, but the core of the story is the romantic connection between the main characters.

I’ve been curious about this 🤔
Dandadan is like the most popular airing anime right now and is essentially a love story with aliens and ghosts thrown in

Beat Shadow Generations

Yeah this is exactly what I wanted, an absolute love letter to Shadow and just an all around incredibly fun platformer, the only real problems I had were sometimes I felt like I was fighting with the controls (especially in the Doom Morph and Doom Wing segments) I also phased through walls many times.

I unfortunately think I made the experience worse for myself, I essentially played this 10 hour game in less than 1 hour chunks, once every other week. And I think that really hurt me on this experience, I feel like because of that It didn't hit for me as much as I wanted.

Honestly this whole year I've been dealing with that and it's bumming me out, I have some weird inability to enjoy things I want to enjoy, Idk if its depression, ADHD or something. I have just felt bad this whole year.

As Storm said, Dandadan is a massive hit and the main focus of that is Okarun and Momo growing closer with it being genuinely sweet and a bunch of roadblocks not just being crazy yokai and aliens they need to beat up but also strains on their relationships like feelings of jealousy to make them realize how they feel about one another. It just needs effort put in beyond "Hm. One is a boy, one is a girl..."

I think my favorite thing about Dandadan's romance is that Okarun and Momo actually talk to each other and apologize when there's a misunderstanding or argument. It's such a rare thing, especially in this type of manga. The author's editor made him read shoujo manga before writing the series to get the romance right, good call on their part

What I predict season 1 will cover is really only the beginning, the later stuff is sooooooooooo good and I can't wait to see it animated

Look I love Sonic and can’t stand the live action Lion King, but let’s not kid ourselves. Mufasa’s making bank, and it’ll make more than Sonic 3.

Don’t get me wrong, I think Sonic 3 will do very well for itself. But I’m seeing a lot of fans talk about how it’s gonna blow Mufasa outta the water and I’m sorry but that’s just not happening.

The Lion King remake made a billion dollars, you guys. A billion.
I'd probably expect both Sonic and Mufasa to do well in December.

The only films which I predict will struggle next month are the Lord of the Rings anime and Kraven the Hunter due to the lack of marketing and promotion.

Yeah having a grip on how a good romance works is essential cause shonen romance standards are in the goddamn gutter, as someone up to date on the manga I cannot wait to see how my friends or partners react to things that happen later and if they catch on to some of the more subtler things like the design of the last dude to befriend the gang. We truly are witnessing a masterpiece unfold

I mean, if the games can keep going on forever why not the films?
VG movies tend to keep going if money keeps coming in. But since most VG movies do poorly, that’s why we rarely see sequels and remakes.

anyway…..

Sonic 1 (2020) made 319mil world wide
Sonic 2 (2022) made 405mil world wide

While the 3rd Sonic is expected to open lower than Sonic 2 due to a crazy busy holiday movie season, it MAY do slightly better than Sonic 2 in the end since Shadow is in and he’s voiced by Keanu. However If Sonic 3 doesn’t at least beat Sonic 1 in world wide box office, don’t expect the films to continue.


Family brought home a pizza tonight and I'm just like

"Dudes do you remember the fridge is full of Thanksgiving leftovers?"

Anyway, pass the yams.
We do the same here. Pizza on the day after Thanksgiving but then back to leftovers on day 3. It doesn’t make sense but that’s how we do. Same for Christmas because we have

****ing hell how is Dragon Quest 3 making me lose my mind with plot twists, this is a ****ing 80s game and yet I'm popping off
Oh you’ve never played? DQ3 HD 2D is by far the best version made. Story is voiced, story has cutscenes, a new class (broken beyond belief), new areas, tons of new weapons. It’s phenomenal. What party do you habe

Someone do a wellness check on Shamiek Moore. He's not taking it well that in this universe, Miles doesn't end up with Gwen
He will survive. There are plenty of women that he can get and that will treat him well.

Hero
Sage
Monster Wrangler who I plan on reclassing to Martial Artist again after I get all monsters
Warrior who used to be a priest and a mahe because I thought a warrior that can use buffs is funny as hell

It’s totally your call but the Monster Wrangler is crazy good. Best class in the game by far. Wild Side + Monster Pile = 1.4k damage minimum.

I made my Sage into a MW after learning all the Sage spells.

Made my Warrior into a Martial Artist because at lvl 46 or 48 he learns a guaranteed unmissable crit hit skill.

Made my Merchant into a MW so I can do double wild side + monster pile.

Have you don’t the post game content yet? I don’t wanna mention it by name due to spoilers.

I haven't gotten Wild Side yet, what level does that get learned? And as for where I am, I beat Baramos like 4 hours of playtime ago

collect 50 monsters and then win one battle after the 50th monster is caught. Your MW will automatically learn it.

Finally. A potentially interesting Mario creepypasta.
That has the potential to actually be scary. Like a story of Luigi just sleeping in his room and all of a sudden he hears Mario screaming, runs to his room and there he is sleeping in his bed

Fun Fact. If you save Luigi in Honeyhive Galaxy and then die in a black hole and save Luigi again, when you talk to him, he will ask if you are ok and that he thought he hear screaming.



Tldr: Luigi hears mario ****ing die
Doesn’t a black hole take away all sound though?

I am so excited for Marvel Rivals, you don't understand



Any Game with Jeff The Landshark and Squirrel Girl is a good game in my book

the most calm looking Wolverine since his Super Hero Squad variant…nice

The Fortnite Event was good!

It was exactly in line with the old Chapter 2 concerts like Travis Scott and Ariana Grande, and I always liked those. And it even gave us a little bit of a Chapter 6 glimpse. Super Excited for that season btw.

My problems with the event stem from my problems with the season.

Somehow, I completely missed that Bug Fables got a major update.


I don't think I technically 100% completed that game, but that's mainly because the post-game superboss was insanely difficult. (at least you can get the enemy guide entry for them even if you lose, so I completed that guide)

I have the unpopular opinion that this might actually be better then expected, or at least won't be trash like Morbius and Madame Web. Mostly because it doesn't have the same god awful writers as Madame Web and Morbius, and also has J.C. Chandor as the director, who has made good movies (though they're indie films).
