I have no excitement for MCU films anymore. They all feel the same and formulaic.

Guardians 3 and D&W were the last worthwhile ones and as far I'm concerned the stories for those characters ended there with good conclusions.

Superhero fatigue doesn't exist. It's MCU fatigue.

The Batman, Creature Commandos, Spider-Verse films, The Boys, Invincible all prove this.

If I had a nickel for every time Fortnite Festival added a song by Yoasobi that’s used as the opening to an anime, I’d have two nickels.

Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that its happened twice.

MMBN2 Progress. I beat Shadow Man, got Wood Guts as my first style, and did some grinding to get Elec Guts style after that. Got my 2nd Folder from Mr. Famous by beating GateMan V2. And I beat Guts Man V3 once. Though I guess not quick enough cause I didn't get his level 3 chip. I know Team Style let's you get V4 chips, but I want to get my Guts Styles first. I mostly wanted Heat and Aqua, but hey it is what it is.

Grinding in these games is actually fun since the combat is engaging. And most fights don't take too long unless you're trying to go for bosses. Got some better chips in my main folder too. Still have to whittle down the letters for the regular chips to 3 or so not counting stars.

Styles seem to come in like 200 fights won or so, which isn't as bad it sounds. Guts Styles are won by mostly using the buster, Shield by using Healing Items/Barriers, Team by using Navi chips and Custom by using a lot of chips in general, so we'll see how it goes. Not sure if I can even be allowed all 16 or so styles in one playthrough, but I want to guarantee I get one of each element.

Look at the hand above the camerawoman at the left...
I was going to mention how it looks normal.

Then I counted the fingers…

Must be hard for companies to double check things that are AI generated. Or better yet, hard to avoid AI generation in the first place.

No no you see that isn’t AI that’s just a teaser for the mutants that will be introduced in this movie.

Everybody knows Four Finger Frank! :bowsette:

Hey! Don't be that way. If he's excited for the new Fantastic 4, let him be.

It's been a while since we've seen the F4 in theatres, too. It's nice to see them return.
Well, I am excited for both Superman and the Fantastic Four and if both are well received (in which I hope it does) once it comes to theatres, then July will certain be a good month for films.

Plankton is getting his own movie apparently.

First Sandy did now him.

Only a matter of time foe Squidward, Mr. Krabs and even Gary to do so. Lol.

Just finished the main storyline of Dust: An Elysian Tail.

I can see where the development time had to be cut short story-wise (the one time I can think of where a bigger company, Microsoft in this case, actually liking a game arguably made it worse off) , but the story they were able to complete was still honestly solid and I was invested in it to the very end, in no small part because of the main trio of characters, and the hack 'n slash RPG gameplay combined with Metroidvania-styled platforming and ability progression makes the game an absolute blast to play.

If you're ever looking for some new action-role playing games or Metroidvanias, or even just a game with some extremely fun combat combined with an RPG leveling system, I highly recommend it.

Now that this game's complete, time for me to start up Super Mario RPG, Okami, and to pick The Thousand Year Door remake and Pikmin 4 back up.

Now that Multiversus is ending, I have a few things to say about one of the characters I was always kind of rooting for. Ben 10. And that's I'm glad he didn't get in.

Let me explain, the last thing I wanted from Ben was for him to be 10 year old Ben from Classic done like Pokemon Trainer with a handful of his most "popular aliens" (most likely some combination Fourarms, Heatblast, XLR8, Diamondhead, and Cannonbolt). I wanted Ben at the end of his story arc, which means Omniverse (despite my feelings on the show) because I wanted the Ben that I grew up with and who grew up with me. The version of the character I had an attachment too. Further more I wanted each move to be a different alien form, reminiscent of how he fights when he has Master Control. This is how Ben fights when he's at his full potential.

IDK. I guess I'm just better off with him not being in the game at all over him being in the game with a moveset and/or design that frustrated me (like what happened with Bugs, Wonder Woman, and Steven).

Would what I had wanted from the character be a lot more work? I honestly don't know. From a modeling and rigging standpoint yes, but each model would have only needed like one animation as opposed to doing full move-sets for three to five characters and in the Pokemon Trainer style. So honestly there had to have been a bit of give and take. But it doesn't matter anymore since the game is over.

Went down to my local Wal-Mart fo see if they had Werewolves there. Didn't but saw Knuckles at a good price I decided to pick that up. Figure I'd get it since I got the first two Sonic films.

Possibly, but I think it might just be easier to buy the Jakks Pacific Charmy
1738697159107.png

Yeah no

Also the Charmy figure is 2.5 inch, whereas my modern collection is mostly for 4 inch figures (aside from characters like Chao or Badniks that would be impractical to make in 4 inch). Charmy is supposed to be the same height as Cream, I hope Jakks just makes a 4 inch figure later but a lot of people think they won't.

Either way I'm keeping it in storage for now, maybe by the time I can actually focus on customizing figures they'll announce a 4" Charmy

I have a question about Nintendo Directs, not that I am in a hurry for one, but since February is when a Direct usually happens…

Don’t Directs usually happen I. The second week of that month? (February, that is)
Usually the first two weeks. Up in the air if we get one though with the Switch 2 looming.

Most Pokemon fans: Sweet, a Gengar!
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team players:


I'm aware of the sort of redemption arc he has, but that's just not enough for me to forgive sending out mobs of bloodthirsty Pokemon to slaughter us, insult everyone for wanting to help Alakazam, and tormenting the player with Dream Eater. Especially given the reveal of his identity. I dig Gengar usually, but I deeply detest this specific one.

Oh wow I did not know the Charmy market was that intense.

This lead me to look at both lines and now the inconsistency of releases between the 4-inch and 2.5-inch line is bothering me

Do you think it would be possible to turn this horrivly scaled Classic Sonic figure into Charmy? Hypothetically speaking
Sure thing, just gimme a cnc machine, glue, a ton of yellow paint, and also a three dee printer and I'll turn that thingy into Charmy :ness:

Yeah I get that. It's why I focus on the 4" line, at least for modern characters.

For classic characters though, not only do they have better release rates in 2.5" but they actually mostly scale next to the modern characters. I say mostly cause of characters like the heavies, Eggman, and Mecha Sonic (got the latter 2 with my Sonic shown in the pic). Like we're getting Trip soon while the modern 2.5" only just now got the entire Chaotix and still doesn't have Blaze and Cream

Question: I just unlocked evolution in PMDRTDX. And I fully evolved my starter Squirtle into Blastoise to gain access to its Mega Evolution.

But now I'm debating. I evolved my partner Cyndaquil into Quilava, and she's served me quite well, but I'm wondering if I should take the extra step and evolve it into Typhlosion. Thing is, though, since Typh has no Mega, there isn't really an explicit benefit to doing so aside from a stat boost. (Also I love the way Quilava runs.)

So, should I evolve Quilava into Typhlosion?

If you're wondering why I'm using the Cyndaline at all when I've made it kinda clear that I...don't really like it, well I'll explain more when Cynda pops up on my daily PFPs but I actually really like it in Mystery Dungeon. The Defense Curl-Rollout combo is TOO fun.

Even with MvS’s more simplified moves, do you realize how many models that would be on one character that’d all have to be individually animated and have their hit/hurtboxes accounted for?
